Bowles: Hundreds of faculty job cuts possible - Keith Upchurch, Herald Sun

UNC President Erskine Bowles said Friday that the state's university system might have to cut hundreds of faculty positions across its 17 campuses if its budget is cut by 5 percent. The university system already was preparing for a 2 percent budget cut to make up for lower state funding, but Bowles told the Board of Governors,that more cuts would hurt the academic core of its campuses for years.
