Draft budget plan for MU calls for cutting 328 jobs - MISSOURIAN

A draft budget for MU's upcoming school year released late Friday night called for eliminating $40.6 million in recurring costs and $18.9 million in one-time costs, according to a memo from MU Interim Chancellor Garnett Stokes. The proposal also eliminates 328 positions — 147 full-time positions that are now vacant and 181 full-time positions that are currently filled. Those filled positions include 43 retirements, 38 people who will not have their contracts renewed, 84 people who would be laid off and 16 "voluntary separations," according to Stokes' letter. http://www.columbiamissourian.com/news/higher_education/draft-budget-plan-for-mu-calls-for-cutting-jobs/article_2f57633e-3d07-11e7-9cad-a760af514def.html
