FSU layoffs of tenured faculty cause a stir - Doug Blackburn, Tallahassee DEMOCRAT

FSU's decision to lay off 21 tenured and 15 additional tenure-track faculty isn't going unnoticed. The esteemed Science magazine last month detailed how the science programs at FSU have been affected by layoffs, and how FSU is letting go of more tenured faculty than the other 10 schools in the State University System combined. Provost Larry Abele believes FSU was being pro-active when it adopted a three-year budget last June.
