Coventry University is facing a £59.3m loss between 2023-24, prompting job cuts of over 60 full-time positions. The university's leaders claim they are "transparent" about their financial position and are implementing change programs to reform the organization. However, union representatives argue that the university is not considering alternative solutions, such as selling underused buildings, instead opting for job cuts. The university owns many properties, including student accommodation, which are currently empty due to a decline in international students.
