FSCJ looks to eliminate 76 jobs, save $4.7 million - Khristopher J. Brooks, Jacksonville.com

Florida State College at Jacksonville wants to slice 76 positions off its payroll for the 2013-14 school year, officials said Wednesday. If FSCJ’s board approves those cuts next month, interim President Will Holcombe said it would save the college $4.7 million and help balance the upcoming budget. “This has been a difficult process because it’s a reduction budget,” Holcombe said during a board workshop Wednesday. “Last year this board approved a budget that was out of balance, $10 million out of balance.” Holcombe has said he would make the necessary cuts. Of the 76 proposed eliminations, 55 are for people working that job. The remaining 21 are open positions that would not be filled. http://jacksonville.com/news/metro/2013-05-29/story/fscj-looks-eliminate-76-jobs-save-47-million
