COST-cutting measures at Oldham College could see staff lose their jobs.
Directors at the Rochdale Road college, which also runs degree courses at University Campus Oldham, have offered employees the chance to apply for voluntary redundancy.
Information passed to the Chronicle suggest up to 50 jobs could be cut in an attempt to slash the budget by 15 per cent. Staff have also been asked to come up with ways to save money.
Alun Francis, principal and chief executive officer at the college, said: “All public sector organisations have been affected by reduced rates in funding.
“Oldham College is involving staff in a business efficiency process to maximise value and make efficiency savings.
“We are committed to maintaining our strong focus on teaching and the modernisation of facilities for students.”
Comments
The moment the Lib-Dems and Conservatives joined up it was obvious things were going to be 'FOR CRONIES ONLY' and the rest of us could just suffer the consequences. Cameron and Clegg look on as the UK 'burns' and that's disgraceful.
Please remind me. How much are we spending on metro link and some naff sculptures? Deanmo Labour are ALL FOR CRONIES aswell. So sad that people don't get it that lib/lab/con have ruined the UK over the last 50 years.
Have Your Say
Further reason for Lib Dems to hold their heads in shame. Their shameless propping up of a Government that makes cuts to Education, NHS, Police, and Armed Forces while supporting the Tories cuts to Higher taxes for the super rich shows exactly why the Lib Dems are collapsing in the polls.
