FOI Request - EU Academic Staff

The request was successful.

Dear Loughborough University,

I was very worried to hear of a recent study that claimed that there was a 19% rise in EU academics leaving UK universities over the past year.

May I submit an FOI request concerning Loughborough University's overall levels of EU academic staff? In particular I would like to know how many EU academic staff have left the university over the last year and how many new EU staff have joined you over the same period. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Matthew Taylor
