The University of Sussex has said it plans to cut 200 jobs as part of an attempt to save £35m annually.
The facility in Brighton will begin a 45-day consultation on Thursday over the potential redundancies, which include roles in admissions, student support and IT services.
With two voluntary redundancy schemes having already shed 528 staff in the last year, trade union Unison said further cuts would only add to the “strain and uncertainty” facing those who remained.
The university’s vice-chancellor, Prof Sasha Roseneil, called the situation “regrettable”, but added “very difficult decisions” were needed to “address the financial sustainability crisis affecting UK higher education”.
