University of Montana students react to budget cut announcement - Eric Clement, KPAX

School is back in session at the University of Montana just days after President Royce Engstrom announced how many jobs will be lost to budget cuts. UM president Royce Engstrom announced in a letter to students and staff Friday that 27 people will be laid off. Some 192 full-time positions will be reduced by June 30th of this year. A number of those FTE reductions come from positions that already are vacant, which are 46 open positions. Other openings were handled by retirements, and some FTE reductions come from combining offices to create efficiencies. http://www.kpax.com/story/31058512/university-of-montana-students-react-to-budget-cut-announcement
