Edinburgh College to axe 70 staff members - Edinburgh Evening News
15/05/2014 00:00EDINBURGH College is to slash its headcount by 70 and axe dozens of teaching posts as part of a drive to balance the books.
Job loss details came as bosses at the problem-hit super college confirmed they were battling to overcome a £1.7 million deficit amid persistent funding pressures and higher-than-expected costs.
They said cuts would be split between teaching and support staff as they bid to hit a “break-even” financial target next year.

Student leaders have said the development is evidence that the Scottish Government does not “value” colleges.
