SocietyNottingham lecturers strike for 10 weeks over job and course cuts as UK universities struggle

Staff at eight UK universities are set to strike amid a worsening higher-education financial crisis. Some University of Nottingham lecturers will stop work for 10 weeks, almost all of the first term, protesting plans to cut hundreds of jobs and dozens of courses. About 600 jobs are at risk as the university seeks to close a $112 million gap. Students say cancellations are disrupting daily life.
