In Cardiff Met, a university so fine,
Financial woes began to entwine.
Jobs at risk, a difficult test,
Redundancies loomed, a future unrest.
Thirty to fifty staff, a number so grand,
Let go to cut costs, a necessary hand.
Already measures taken, to soften the blow,
But more cuts needed, to make the numbers go low.
A spokesperson spoke, with a worried face,
Financial challenges, a difficult pace.
Income and costs, no longer aligned,
A future uncertain, with a financial bind.
January saw Cardiff University's plight,
400 jobs cut, a painful sight.
Bangor and South Wales, also felt the squeeze,
Universities struggling, with financial freeze.
Voluntary severance, a previous attempt,
60 staff left, a small dent in the lament.
A second scheme closed, with no more to give,
Further reductions needed, to stay alive.
Collective consultation, a union's call,
Feedback sought, from one and all.
Support available, for those in need,
A difficult time, with a uncertain deed.
Proposals shared, with affected staff next week,
A future uncertain, with a nervous shriek.
The university's plea, to share their views,
A collective effort, to see them through.
