Last week, University of Copenahgen Ralf Hemmingsen send a circular to all staff members warning of the dire consequences of the budget cuts, which were agreed upon by the government and its supporting Danish People's party (DF) as part of its austerity package.

Minister of Science Charlotte Sahl-Madsen has defended the cuts, saying that the university management has known about them for some time.
