Valdosta State cuts jobs to balance budget - Christian McKinney, WALB

Valdosta State University is cutting jobs and eliminating positions in order to balance its budget. Students may notice fewer employees in places like the book store and the dining services. 11 auxiliary service employees were terminated Tuesday to balance the university's budget for the current 2015 fiscal year. The cuts came from the book store, dining services, parking and transportation, and housing areas. But employees were not the only thing the university cut back on in order to eliminate the close to one million dollars that they were over budget. "We reduced operating budgets, we reduced our student and temporary employee budgets," said Finance and Administration Vice President Traycee Martin. http://www.walb.com/story/26461463/valdosta-state-cuts-jobs-to-balance-budget
