I'm not expecting you all to read this, but one of my colleagues has drawn my attention to an
academic paper on the psychological and relational damage caused by mass redundancies in an institution - we aren't going to be happy bunnies!
Amusingly, it's written by someone from my institution! Hope she keeps her job…
Enjoy!

Don't understand a word of that paper, but she has a good surname...
I hope the right people in university are looking after the remaining staff that have been lucky enough to keep their jobs.
Students can be doing without stressed lecturers. It's hardly going to be a productive learning environment if people are worried about losing their jobs and students are worried about how it is going to have an impact on their learning.
I wonder if things will feel different in September, or if the student body will even notice? Either way 250 people out of a well oiled machine is a lot to lose.
