WSU hits its ‘low point’ with announcement of 71 layoffs, budget cuts - Max Filby, Dayton Daily News

Wright State University will trim around 178 jobs as part of sweeping budget reductions next month while increasing the athletics budget by $1.6 million, a decision one faculty leader called “egregious.” WSU’s interim president on Friday proposed the school lay off 71 people, including about 24 classified staff members, 43 unclassified staff members and four faculty members. The university could also leave around 107 positions vacant that along with layoffs would save the school $14.1 million in salaries and benefits, according to a proposal from interim president Curtis McCray. http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/wsu-hits-its-low-point-with-announcement-layoffs-budget-cuts/bkYvhgi24tsgcLG7IY1igM/
