WVSU fires employees, eliminates positions, considers more cost-saving - Mackenzie Mays, WV Gazette

West Virginia State University has fired 10 employees and is considering more cost-saving measures. School officials announced the layoffs earlier this month and also eliminated 15 already vacant positions. WVSU spokeswoman Kimberly Osborne said the terminations are a direct response to a budget summit held in November that recommended several ways the school could cut costs and generate revenue. One of those recommendations was, in the words of the budget summit, “potential personnel adjustments to ensure greater efficiency and effectiveness of university operations,” and is the cause for the terminations, Osborne said. http://www.wvgazette.com/article/20140824/GZ01/140829633/1101
