Rennie responds to recovery plan for Dundee University

Responding to the University of Dundee publishing its recovery plan amid significant financial turmoil, Scottish Liberal Democrat education spokesperson Willie Rennie MSP said:

“The new recovery plan will still be painful but not as painful as the last one.

“We now need the SNP Government to agree to the request for financial support without any further delay so that we can move forward, provide certainty for staff and students, rebuild confidence with the bank and start to recover the excellent reputation of Dundee University.

“I feel for the staff who lose their jobs under this plan through no fault of their own. We must do everything we can to support them and ensure that the independent investigation holds the previous leadership to account for their actions.  

“This has been a dark episode for Dundee and we now need to move forward to better days.”
