51¹ú²úÊÓƵ

Lecturers have called on funding chiefs to claw back money from London Metropolitan 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ after the institution said it could not afford to implement pay and progression reforms. In a bulletin to staff last year, the university said it had set aside ?3 million to implement the national framework agreement, but a fall in student recruitment meant implementation was now untenable. The London Met branch of the 51¹ú²úÊÓƵ and College Union estimates that the university has received more than ?10 million under the Higher Education Funding Council for England's Rewarding and Developing Staff initiative since 2001-02. It argues that some of this should have been spent on modernising pay.
