A Fort Lewis College budget proposal calls for laying off seven employees during the next two years as part of a $4.5 million cut driven by a rollback in state funding. We've tried to be thoughtful about (the cuts), but it's tough when 10 percent of your budget disappears. Positions that would be eliminated under the proposal include one faculty member in the computer science and information systems department. One person each would be laid off from several departments: the athletic department, human resources, controller's office, information technology, library and housing and conference services.
Most departments face nonpersonnel budget cuts.
