NAU Layoffs Target Online Learning - Lara Hochuli, NAZ Today

Northern Arizona University is eliminating 45 jobs and closing four satellite campuses as a result of recent cuts in state funding. The latest round of layoffs primarily targets the distance learning and enrollment departments. The university is awaiting a report due out in mid-April to determine whether any faculty members would be laid off. University spokeswoman Lisa Nelson says no tenured or tenure-tracked faculty would lose their jobs.
