Carroll University to cut staff in light of budget troubles - Milwaukee Biz

After failing to meet its anticipated undergraduate enrollment target last fall and struggling to balance its budget, Carroll University, located in Waukesha, has decided to eliminate 14 staff positions and two faculty positions. News of the eliminations reached the campus community on Monday in a letter from President Doug Hastad, who wrote: "We are implementing actions to reduce our expenses for the upcoming fiscal year. Unfortunately, this includes eliminating positions. You should know that those individuals affected have been informed. While it is not easy to say goodbye to colleagues, it is a necessary step in rebalancing the budget. We will also be reducing non-personnel expenses as part of the realignment process." The cuts in staff, which will be effective at the end of the current fiscal year on June 30, represent a 2.5 percent reduction in staff. The two faculty eliminations will take effect at the end of the next fiscal year on June 30, 2015. http://www.biztimes.com/article/20140320/ENEWSLETTERS07/140329993
