Top GW University officials talk budget, position cuts at staff town hall - Ellie Smith, GW Hatchet

About 40 staff members met in Duques Hall Wednesday evening to learn more about recent budget cuts from top officials and to raise their concerns about recent position eliminations. Provost Forrest Maltzman and Deputy Vice President and Treasurer Ann McCorvey presented how shifts in student enrollment have affected the University’s finances and their plans to cut costs this fiscal year. The GW Staff Association held the town hall meeting in response to the elimination of about 40 staff positions last month. In December, University President Steven Knapp called on all administrative units to make 3 to 5 percent budget cuts each fiscal year until 2021. http://blogs.gwhatchet.com/newsroom/2016/07/14/top-officials-talk-budget-position-eliminations-at-staff-town-hall/
