There's a very thorough independent probe currently underway examining Dundee University and its finances. I'm doubtful that the current leaders would have chanced their luck too much on recovery plan number 1, given that they knew the probe was imminent.

The Scottish parliament and its education committee of MSPs are also examining and interrogating the university thoroughly. Though that process is slightly on pause while the probe works through the evidence.

I've been with Dundee University since 2001, so 24 years. I started as a postgraduate (taught MPhil, then PhD, both part time) before Martin started working for the university. And as soon as I finished my PhD I got my honorary research fellowship I've held ever since.
