UofL cuts five staff positions in advancement office following 25 percent decrease in gifts last fiscal year - JOE SONKA, Insider Louisville

Gifts to academic programs at the University of Louisville fell by 25 percent from $84 million to $63 million in the recently ended fiscal year, and now five staffers have been cut from the department that handles fundraising for the university. UofL spokesman John Karman tells IL that five “support staff” positions were cut last week in the university advancement department as part of a reduction in force and “ongoing university belt-tightening related to the budget shortfall.” https://insiderlouisville.com/metro/uofl-cuts-five-staff-positions-in-advancement-office-following-25-percent-decrease-in-gifts-to-academic-programs/
