In this week’s podcast, the author of the UK redundancy survey, THE features editor Paul Jump talks Miranda Prynne through the results which paint a picture of a demoralised, exhausted and fragmented sector and the human stories behind the cuts.



They discuss the strength of feeling among respondents, who and what is blamed for the sector’s financial woes, the impact of the redundancies on those remaining as well as lessons for university senior managers and how institutions might move forward from such a bruising few years.
