Fewer layoffs than expected at MSU - KEITH KAPPES, The Morehead News

Painful meetings were underway this week at Morehead State University as several employees were notified that their jobs were being eliminated. However, the bad news did not touch as many individuals as expected. Instead of the potential 30 occupied positions initially described, MSU disclosed Thursday that the cuts only affected 16 staff persons immediately. Five fixed-term instructors will receive notice of non-renewal of their contracts, bringing to 21 the total number impacted by job eliminations. A total of 64 positions, most of them vacant, will be dropped when the MSU Board of Regents votes on a new budget on June 10. http://www.themoreheadnews.com/news/local_news/fewer-layoffs-than-expected-at-msu/article_e225ea68-1e8a-11e6-90ee-6bb75bc6c61e.html
