Campus workers regroup after losing jobs - Joey Kachel, U of Memphis Daily Helmsman

Eighteen Physical Plant employees will have to find new jobs in the coming months, but they may not have to look far. As part of a campus-wide restructuring initiative to balance the University’s budget and close the $20 million gap, the administration announced plans to cut positions from departments across campus, including the Physical Plant. Dean Hansen is an assistant vice president of the Physical Plant. He and his team were instrumental in coming up with the new structure of the Physical Plant. Hansen believes that those losing their jobs should have little problem coming back. “With very few exceptions, these employees will be rehired into positions of similar pay and responsibility,” Hansen said. http://www.dailyhelmsman.com/campus-workers-regroup-after-losing-jobs-1.3161258
