One of the other lecturers (the one who left for a year and came back part time and I got the other part of his permanent contract) announced last summer that he was engaged to an American woman and was moving there at Xmas. In November, he said it’d definitely be before Easter, then definitely before May and definitely over the summer. Last I heard it was definitely as soon as his spouse visa processes which is sometime in the next year.
All of the managers were talking about replacing him but I have my doubts about him ever leaving considering he was definitely not coming back when he left for his sabbatical.
