US EditionInterim Dundee University Finance Chief Quits After Eight Days in Job
- Dundee University's interim chief finance officer, Chris Reilly, quit after just over a week in the role he took on in June 2024.
- His departure followed months of financial trouble and a report criticizing previous university leaders for failing to manage a worsening crisis that threatened insolvency.
- Reilly had replaced Helen Simpson, the finance chief for seven months, and his appointment was initially planned for 18 months to support the recovery plan.
- Since June 20th, interim principal Professor Nigel Seaton has confirmed that Reilly departed by mutual consent, and the university is swiftly working to appoint a new finance director who will oversee the next phase of the institution’s financial recovery process involving the Scottish Funding Council.
- The university faces a £35 million deficit, has asked 300 staff for voluntary redundancy, and received over £60 million in emergency funding including a recent £40 million support from the Scottish Government.
