A “toxic” culture has been created by Cardiff University’s plan to cut 400 jobs and axe courses, according to a former education minister. Leighton Andrews, a professor at Cardiff Business School, said there was a “climate of fear in the university about speaking out” with staff morale “through the floor” since it announced plans in January to address a £31m budget gap. He has said the university had millions in cash and investments which could be used instead of adopting a “slash and burn programme”. The university has been asked to comment, but previously said the proposals are subject to a 90-day consultation.
