The move has been described as a 'last resort' and comes after a round of voluntary redundancies.
The move has been described as a "last resort" as the college looks to tackle a "substantial real-terms" cut to college funding in Scotland.
A letter sent to staff outlined that £6m savings had already been made through freezing vacancies and voluntary redundancies but a multi-million-pound gap still remains. “Given the scale of the funding challenges, the college has a substantial multi-year forecast budget deficit to address. "Emerging from the pandemic, Scotland’s public finances are under significant pressure. Colleges have always been resilient and adaptive tertiary institutions and will adjust to this new reality."
