St. Louis Community College Cuts Could Affect 95 Employees - Elizabeth Semko, Riverfront Times

A number of full-time faculty members at St. Louis Community College could be looking for new jobs in the not-so-distant future. At a Board of Trustees meeting on November 30, the college's leaders are slated to discuss a cost-cutting scenario that would eliminate about 18 percent of full-time faculty positions, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. The scenario is part of the board's plan to address a financial crunch due to declining enrollment and state budget cuts. A report spread throughout the four St. Louis Community College campuses last weekend said that the cuts could reach as many as 70 faculty members. Until the meeting next month, however, the report is meant "for discussion purposes only." https://www.riverfronttimes.com/newsblog/2017/10/31/st-louis-community-college-cuts-could-affect-95-employees
