This might be true in absolute terms and following consideration of yearly rises in each category. However, as a percentage of overall academic staff, the proportion of teaching only contracts has been stable at 25-26% between 2008 and 2014. It is true that there are now less multi-functional academics undertaking both research and teaching, as these contracts as a percentage of all academics has fallen from 51% to 49% over the same period. However, if you are looking to see where these resources have gone, it has been to recruit more research only positions, the percentage of which have increased from 22% to 24%. Percentages are calculated from HESA statistics.
