The university says it “continues to respond to the economic and political environment”

Word is the new savings target is $10m with positions to be abolished in the colleges of Medicine and Public Health and HASS.

Last night the university said there is a proposal to change the MPH “staffing profile” and one for HASS, “responding to changes in student demand for courses in arts and languages.”

Observers suggest that that to make the savings target more jobs may go in the other colleges.
