Some academics might have a slight buffer, as the funding from research councils etc can be in place from a couple of years ago. Although RAE related funding, due to be anounced in March I think, might be quite interesting. Could be enough to keep some depts ticking over, but the non-research depts, and also the ones that don't figure in the latest RAE will get hee haw. Undergrads will be their major income as I doubt university admin won't be handing out the big bucks to save an archaeology dept. I'm hoping that one Scottish dept in particular manages to scrape through for a comeback, although a saga of poor management seems to have got them into their current woes, it's not unheard of. The now top dept in the country had a blip not so long ago.
Fun, fun, fun.
