More Budget Cuts? - Mikaela Tierney, Fairfield University Mirror

Some academic programs have suffered restrictions or limitations in their budgets or operations over the past few months as a result of the budget gap. As requested by President von Arx and Father Paul Fitzgerald, “We are postponing three of our nine searches in the College of Arts & Sciences (my understanding is that searches are also being closed in other schools),” Robbin Crabtree, dean of the College of Arts & Sciences, said. “A number of factors went into which of our searches would be postponed, and none of this has been easy.” Staff searches will be postponed in history, math and economics.
