Former Dundee University leaders are being grilled by MSPs on Wednesday after a damning report found serious concerns over governance and transparency at the highest levels.
The investigation published last Thursday was commissioned by the Scottish Funding Council (SFC) after the university announced that hundreds of jobs could be lost due to a £35m blackhole.
Led by Professor Pamela Gillies, the report found senior leaders at Dundee University breached ethics rules, ignored financial red flags, and operated in “isolation of facts”.
Some of those leaders have been recalled to give evidence at Holyrood’s Education, Children, and Young People committee on Wednesday morning.
Dundee University’s former director of finance, Peter Fotheringham; former chief operating officer, Dr Jim McGeorge; and former chair of court, Amanda Millar, are being questioned by politicians over the current financial position at the university.
The evidence session started at 9.30am on Wednesday.
