Description

Higher education organisation InHolland announced on 15 January 2014 that it will cut 130 jobs. The need for restructuring is a legacy from the past, when Inholland was severely criticized for the insufficient quality of graduating students. This resulted in a major restructuring operation in 2012 (see factsheet 18495). The negative publicity resulted in a significant drop in the number of students. This drop in student numbers has persisted resulting in the new restructuring measure. Inholland hopes that forced dismissals will not be necessary.
