North Shore college eyes layoffs as student-enrollment misses targets - Mary Moore, Boston Business Journal

Gordon College is likely to announce layoffs due to a shortfall in its projection for freshmen enrollment this fall. Stung by enrollment declines, Gordon College faces a nearly $4 million budget shortfall over the next two years and is likely to layoff employees as part of its budget adjustments, a college spokesman has confirmed. A committee of faculty and staff is working through various scenarios to close the budget gap, including layoffs and attrition, said Rick Sweeney, a spokesman for Gordon College. The number of potential layoffs under consideration has not been disclosed. http://www.bizjournals.com/boston/news/2015/06/19/north-shore-college-eyes-layoffs-as-student.html
