The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
Hogeschool InHolland announced on 15 September 2011 that it will cut 470 jobs. The majority of the jobs will be scrapped among the central and supporting departments, but the restructuring will also affect around 70 teaching jobs. The possible reason for restructuring is said to be several scandals about the quality of some of the courses offered by the high school during the recent years, which resulted in a 30 percent decrease in the number of new students. A social plan will be developed. Accordingly, in the period from the initiation of restructuring until 1st of July 2012, mainly the people who leave voluntarily will be assisted. After 1st of July 2012, the plan will focus merely on the remaining employees that will have to be dismissed.
