University chief deals with huge budget cuts - Bolton News

THE head of the University of Bolton has said he has had to make “tough choices” after millions of pounds were wiped from its budget. Vice-chancellor Dr George Holmes said the hike in tuition fees had prompted many students to reconsider a university education while stricter controls on foreign students had also had a severe impact. But he stressed job losses at the university were “likely” to be fewer than first anticipated. Dr Holmes said following consultation with staff and unions, 77 posts were likely to be axed compared to the 93 initially proposed. http://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/local/10056123.University_chief_deals_with_huge_budget_cuts/?ref=nt
