Richland Community College cuts high-ranking positions - RYAN VOYLES and THERESA CHURCHILL, Herald and Review

Richland Community College will eliminate five positions as part of a restructuring caused by a severe loss of state funding. “The restructuring is not a reflection of any employee’s performance, rather, the need to restructure in light of the college’s limited financial resources,” said Richland President Cris Valdez in a prepared statement released Friday evening. The cuts include three administrative officers, including chief of staff, vice president of economic development and innovative workforce solutions and director of human resources. Two positions will also be eliminated in the Duplication Center, which will close this spring. The cuts will be effective Feb. 28. http://herald-review.com/news/local/education/richland-community-college-cuts-high-ranking-positions/article_929c1d51-67c6-521d-9b60-17d7d6b95551.html
