Ivy Tech cuts staff in South Bend, Elkhart to balance budget - Margaret Fosmoe South Bend Tribune

Six employees at Ivy Tech Community College's South Bend and Elkhart County campuses face elimination of their jobs to help balance the budget. The six staff members — four full-time and two part-time — were notified recently that their positions will be eliminated Dec. 29, Chancellor Thomas Coley said Wednesday in a telephone interview. "These are always hard things for us to do," he said. The names of the employees to be let go were not released. Six other currently vacant positions won't be filled, he said. The job cuts are necessary to eliminated an expected budget shortfall, the chancellor said. The reductions will save about $340,000 in this fiscal year, and $680,000 in each future year, he said. https://www.southbendtribune.com/news/education/ivy-tech-cuts-staff-in-south-bend-elkhart-to-balance/article_ca317649-80b9-5d39-a79c-6905df40d302.html
