Simpson College to cut 10 positions - Jens Manuel Krogstad, Des Moines Register

Simpson College announced today it will eliminate 10 positions at the end of the school year due to a drop in enrollment. The cuts will be spread throughout administration, staff and faculty who are not tenured or on tenure-track, spokeswoman Jill Johnson said. Lower enrollment last fall forced the college to first trim operating budgets and dip into a contigency fund before turning to staff reductions, she said.
