California University of Pa. faculty put on notice about potential layoffs - Jan Murphy, Penn Live

Faculty at California University of Pennsylvania have received notice that layoffs may be coming after the end of the upcoming academic year. University officials cite enrollment challenges and programmatic changes as the reasons layoffs are being considered. "California University of Pennsylvania continues to invest in academic programs. Along with efforts to increase enrollment and retain students, Cal U continually reviews its curriculum in light of both student and workforce needs. This ongoing process necessarily includes taking a hard look at programs where very few students are enrolled," said university spokeswoman Christine Kindl in a prepared statement. http://www.pennlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2016/08/california_university_of_pa_fa.html
