Scotland’s Universities and the Economy
The motion
That the Parliament notes that a study by Hatch Regeneris for the University and College Union shows that Glasgow’s three major universities, the University of Glasgow, University of Strathclyde and Glasgow Caledonian University, support 21,500 jobs; understands that universities across Scotland generate £4.6 billion in gross value added for Scotland’s economy, of which the three Glasgow universities contribute £1.6 billion; recognises the very severe financial constraints faced by universities as a result of COVID-19, and views their financial stability as central to Scotland’s economic recovery and the maintenance of high quality education.
