A “globetrotting” college boss racked up over twenty foreign trips before backing a redundancy scheme for staff. Dr Paul Little, principal of City of Glasgow College, visited New York, Rome and Vienna as well as travelling to London dozens of times.
Labour MSP Monica Lennon said: “Some of my constituents have raised concerns with me about spending at this college, so there will be deep concern about job losses after the principal has flown all over the world.” The College, which has 30,000 students, said in December that cost pressures meant they had to make cuts of £4m.
Their statement confirmed a voluntary severance scheme for staff and around 70 posts are likely to be lost. A freedom of information request on Little’s foreign business trips has drawn criticism about College spending decisions leading up to the cuts round.
