Is Aber university being mismanaged again

This might be seen as inflammatory but is the university again becoming top heavy with senior management and being mismanaged,

When the new vice chancellor was appointed it was seemed like a breath of fresh air but....

Seems like staff mentioning projects pushed back as money gone elshwhere or 'dead wood' staff propping up jobs which they never interviewed for,

Academics are being asked to voluntary leave with those taking over no more than a teachers aid,

It seems like if a problem arises, get more staff at it,that will help,

Are student numbers down as it seems that recruitment for 3 staff in marketing which is around 25 plus strong has recently been advertised,

A new philanthropy manager job was advertised recently,

Old college donations must be down,

From watching the last few years it looks like all staff at the lower end of pay scales who do the "grunt work" and who are the backbone of student numbers have been erroded but need a new manager on £100.000 and above,

No problem

Studying at aber

Hi all! I’m thinking of applying here for mental health nursing for 2027 start. Just wanted to know how everyones finding it and whether you think its worth it. I understand they’ll be much less to do than a city but I don’t really mind that. I’m also gay and was wondering if theres much homophobia here as I know smaller towns can be less excepting sometimes. Anyone doing nursing and know if the placements are alright here too? Thanks!
