UWG to furlough employees - Laura Camper, Times-Georgian

Furloughs will become a reality at the University of West Georgia after the most-recent round of cuts from the state. The Board of Regents approved six furlough days for University System employees and UWG President Dr. Beheruz Sethna announced Friday to staff and faculty that the college plans to close for six days in order to furlough its employees. In addition, the system was required to submit budgets with 4, 6 and 8 percent cuts. The Board of Regents had refused up to this point to require the universities within its system to lay off or furlough employees.
