The cuts are part of a plan to restore financial balance to the faculty after several years of budget deficits.<\/p>\n
\u00bbThe required adjustment is considerable, but not entirely unexpected,\u00ab says Jacob Graff Nielsen, Dean of the Faculty of Law, in the KUnet release. He points out that the faculty has for a long time been drawing on savings to fund additional academic staff positions.<\/p>\n
The Faculty of Law has been running a structural deficit for a number of years, which has been covered by drawing on its savings. With backing from university management, the faculty has increased the number of academic FTEs \u2014 or full-time equivalent staff \u2014 adding further pressure to the budget.<\/p>\n
According to the management, the use of the savings was always intended to be temporary. Over the next couple of years, reserves will be reduced to a minimum, and from 2027 onwards the budget will need to balance without relying on them.<\/p>\n
\n
The working group includes two heads of studies: Professor Thomas Riis and Professor Kim Frost<\/p>\n
Two centre directors: Professor Vibe Garf Ulfbeck and Professor Helle Krunke<\/p>\n
One academic staff member appointed by the Cooperation Committee: Professor Ulrik Rammeskow Bang-Pedersen<\/p>\n
One academic staff member appointed by the Academic Council: Professor Jens Elo Rytter<\/p>\n
Also participating are Dean Jacob Graff Nielsen and Chief of Staff Rasmus Conradsen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
To prepare for the cuts, a working group has been set up to propose where they are to be made. The group consists of the heads of studies, centre directors, and selected academic staff representatives. Their task is to prepare a catalogue of savings options to form the basis of the final plan.<\/p>\n
Possible staff cuts<\/h3>\n
Although it is not yet clear where the cuts will fall, the dean has indicated that it may be necessary to reduce the salary budget for academic staff.<\/p>\n
\u00bbIt will probably be difficult to completely avoid a reduction in the VIP payroll budget, but the senior management has decided initially to look at the faculty’s costs broadly, including its educational financing,\u00ab says Jacob Graff Nielsen.<\/p>\n
According to the dean, a priority is to resolve the situation swiftly so that staff and management do not have to operate under prolonged financial uncertainty.<\/p>\n
The working group is due to submit its report in early December 2025. Management will then make a decision on the specific savings plan, which is expected to be adopted later that month.
