The Welsh Labour Government is “waving the white flag” on job cuts at Cardiff University, opposition parties have said. The university set out proposals to cut 400 jobs – 7% of the total workforce – and close a number of degree programmes on Tuesday,

The Cardiff University and College Union (UCU) called the cuts "cruel and unnecessary" and said it would fight plans for compulsory redundancies. The university said it would only make compulsory redundancies "if absolutely necessary".
