State agencies told to cut 25% more - Aaron Gould Sheinin, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

John Millsaps, a spokesman for the University System of Georgia, said Chancellor Erroll B. Davis Jr. had warned college presidents to expect further cuts. “Things are going to continue to be pretty grim,” Millsaps said. “We’ve asked our presidents, the chancellor said to be prepared for a 1 to 2 percent additional cut. Our presidents have been working hard to put their institutions in that position to be able to do that.” Georgia State University last week laid off 30 employees and eliminated an additional 300 positions.
