Budget cuts surprise faculty, staff - Taylor Shuck, the Baker Orange

To start the 2014-15 school year, Baker University was faced with a pile of budget cuts that surprised faculty and staff members. President Lynne Murray addressed Faculty Senate on Sept. 2 and discussed the cuts and their effects on the university. “I know you came in to budget cuts,” Murray said. “I am looking into that and greater than that, I’m looking into greater transparency.” Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Brian Posler said that most of the cuts were made before Murray arrived. He said the Board of Trustees directed former President Pat Long, outgoing Chief Operating Officer Susan Lindahl and him to find inefficiencies and places where cuts could be made. http://www.thebakerorange.com/news/2014/sep/15/baker-budget-cut-million/
