Bismarck State College facing tough budgetary times - BLAIR EMERSON, Bismarck Tribune

Currently faced with a budget reduction of up to $7.5 million, officials at Bismarck State College are likely to continue to cut more positions after dozens have been eliminated already. To date, Bismarck State College has cut 31 positions — ranging from custodial and administrative positions to faculty members. Nearly all of those have been through resignation, retirement or voluntary separation agreements. Now, several more positions may need to be eliminated in order to balance the budget, causing some concern among faculty and staff at the college, as well as an organization representing state employees. http://bismarcktribune.com/news/local/education/bismarck-state-college-facing-tough-budgetary-times/article_9f31a005-df2b-5add-b14f-2676205596fc.html
