Yes – unfortunately CUP is going through a lot of changes currently. You may have heard the news that CUP is going to merge with Cambridge Assessment in 2021. The university says there will be lots of exciting opportunities for CUP to produce “digital education” tailored to exam syllabuses. But at the same time, they’ve admitted they will be laying off a significant number of staff:

I fear the future is not very bright for the bits of CUP not connected with “digital education”, given it will soon be a sub-division within an exam board.
