IUP to cut 52 positions -- 10 by furlough - Jennifer Reeger, TRIBUNE-REVIEW

Indiana University of Pennsylvania will eliminate 52 positions - most through attrition but 10 through furloughs - to help the state university reduce a $7.75 million budget deficit in the 2011-12 fiscal year. Ten managers and staff members - five full-time and five part-time - have been furloughed through the process, said IUP spokeswoman Michelle Fryling. None of the furloughed staffers are faculty members and all have been notified, she said. The majority of the savings came from 42 positions that are not being filled after people left the university for retirement or other employment, she said.
