U of Montana Will Cut 201 Positions - Inside Higher Ed

The University of Montana on Tuesday announced plans to cut 201 full-time positions -- 52 of them faculty slots -- to deal with enrollment declines, NBC News Montana reported. Some positions may be currently vacant. Many professors say that the cuts appear likely to disproportionately impact liberal arts programs, although other programs face cuts too. Among the liberal arts departments slated for cuts: anthropology, English, geography, liberal studies, art, political science, as well as graduate programs in foreign languages. https://www.insidehighered.com/quicktakes/2015/11/18/u-montana-will-cut-201-positions
