Quarter of leading UK universities cutting staff due to budget shortfalls Up to 10,000 redundancies or job losses feared as institutes undergo restructuring

This article underestimates the number of job losses (already reported elsewhere to have exceeded 10,000) and employs the misleading adjective 'leading' universities (meaning what, to whom?), but if you've been living under a rock and need a quick introduction to the topic, you could start here.
