FOLLOWING a turbulent 12 months for the University of Gloucestershire, angry pranksters decided to advertise their frustration.

Visitors to the Pittville campus in Cheltenham this week were greeted to a mock For Sale sign saying 'Worth pounds' 'All enquiries to incompetent management, University of Gloucestershire'.

University bosses have remained tight lipped on the incident and mystery surrounds exactly who the culprits are.

Stewart Dove, director of student support, said: "At present there is no intended investigation or actions over this incident."

Pittville campus is set to close this summer with courses moved to campuses elsewhere in a bid to save cash.

The university is seeking to save millions as a cap on student numbers and cuts to higher education budgets dig in.

The university's London campus has already been put up for sale and more than 100 jobs have gone through voluntary redundancy or natural wastage.

Student Union president Leigh Moore said: "I think this is a satirical yet harmless expression of how some students at Pittville may feel at the moment and after the year they have had, allowing them a sense of humour is the least we can do."
