Education, Children and Young People Committee [Draft]

Universities (Financial Sustainability)

Meeting date: 4 June 2025

Douglas Ross

Surely people are only trying to extrapolate those numbers because you are not able to offer them. If you are saying that your university will spend 拢90 million less on staff, you must be able to know roughly how many fewer staff you will have.

You have accepted responsibility. Which areas of loss in the University of Edinburgh, where you are having to now find funding to fill gaps, are you responsible for? What have you done as principal that has led to some of the financial troubles that your university finds itself in?

There are a number of things that we would be grateful to get.

Do you think that you would benefit from further parliamentary scrutiny of your plans?

Good morning and welcome to the 19th meeting of the Education, Children and Young People Committee in 2025. This morning we are taking evidence from a panel of witnesses on the financial sustainability of Scotland鈥檚 universities. I welcome to the meeting Professor Sue Rigby, principal and vice-chancellor of Edinburgh Napier University; Claire McPherson, director of Universities Scotland; Professor Sir Peter Mathieson, principal and vice-chancellor of the University of Edinburgh; and Professor James A Miller, principal and vice-chancellor of the University of the West of Scotland. Thank you all for joining us today.

We will go to straight to questions and I will begin my questions with Sir Peter Mathieson. Can you tell me: what is your salary as principal of the University of Edinburgh?
