18 Amarillo College staffers take buyouts - ROBERT STEIN, Amarillo.com

So far, 18 Amarillo College employees have agreed to buyouts after the college’s Board of Regents made the offers in a cost-cutting effort. The plan to offer buyouts was approved during an Oct. 20 board meeting as a way to deal with larger-than-anticipated cuts in state funding. A total of 91 faculty and staff members are eligible to accept the buyouts. Journalism instructor Mike Haynes said he was accepting the buyout, but had mixed feelings about how the plan will affect the school. http://amarillo.com/news/latest-news/2015-11-10/18-amarillo-college-staffers-take-buyouts
