University of Wisconsin System cuts dozens of positions in cost-saving measure - Associated Press

The University of Wisconsin System has eliminated dozens of administrative and academic affairs positions in a cost-saving move — both to help cope with state budget cuts and as part of a long-term streamlining plan. No employees were laid off. Attrition through eliminating positions, shifting employees into vacant positions and retirements resulted in a net reduction of 36 positions, UW System President Ray Cross. The total dollar amount of savings was not immediately available. Two of the eliminated positions were from Cross' own office, he said. http://www.startribune.com/uw-system-cuts-dozens-of-positions-in-cost-saving-measure/327101891/
