FSU braces for massive faculty layoffs - Doug Blackburn, Tallahassee Democrat

A group of students calling itself Protect Our Professors is hoping to raise $100,000 by mid April to save faculty members in danger of being laid off, but the hard reality is that FSU may have to eliminate more than 200 positions. That's in addition to the 200 or so positions that haven't been filled. Rather than make cuts across the board, university officials have decided that if deep cuts are required they will do away with certain departments – which have yet to be identified.
