About this episode
Staff at Heriot-Watt University in Scotland are on strike, protesting planned job cuts and program closures, including undergraduate teaching in German and Chinese. The strike, which began on March 17th and is set to continue through April 1st, is part of a broader national crisis in higher education job losses. Union members are urging the Scottish Government to intervene and are pushing for no compulsory redundancies. University leaders cite financial pressures, but have reduced only nine positions through voluntary means. Similar disputes are spreading across Scottish universities, highlighting widespread tensions in the sector.
