Delta to lose 15 positions, cut other spending - Jon Becker, Midland Daily News

Delta College President Jean Goodnow has announced that 15 non-faculty positions will be eliminated, part of spending cuts and other measures that are being taken to balance the school’s 2014-2015 fiscal year budget. Faced with a $2.1 million budget deficit, Goodnow, in an e-mail to the college community, said the college has been working for months on ways to trim costs. Delta’s hand, Goodnow said, has been forced by mitigating circumstances that are adversely impacting revenue sources. “This has been a challenging and difficult budget planning process due to continuing enrollment declines, losses in tuition and fee revenue and projected losses in property tax revenue,” she said. http://www.ourmidland.com/news/delta-to-lose-positions-cut-other-spending/article_40c04ae8-d3b0-5e16-b102-fcbdb6d80096.html
