View answerOn 21 February 2024, the university referred to by the deputy submitted a deficit reduction plan to the Higher Education Authority (HEA).
The plan is currently under review by the HEA and as such is the subject of an ongoing deliberative process. The HEA has not yet indicated if it will publish the report.
It is important that time and space is afforded to allow the university and the HEA to comprehensively review the issue and to put in place appropriate arrangements to address this matter.
