"More than 2,300 EU academics have resigned from British universities over the past year amid concerns over a “Brexodus” of top talent in higher education.
New figures show a 19 per cent increase in departures of European staff from universities last year compared to before the EU referendum, and a 10 per cent rise from some 2130 resignations in 2015-16."
As one uni says they are also recruiting more. But, a lot of university jobs require travel/working abroad, so it's probably not completely empty speculation.
