Layoffs, buyouts affect another Missouri university amid budget uncertainty - Ashley Jost, St. Louis Post Dispatch

Southeast Missouri State University President Carlos Vargas announced Tuesday that 4 percent of the school's full-time employees will be cut through attrition and layoffs. That breaks down to 20 to 25 layoffs and 15 to 20 positions eliminated through attrition. Layoff notifications will go out later this month, with a second round in the spring. These cuts affect only staff members, not faculty. “The magnitude of the University’s budget needs necessitates this action,” Vargas said in a statement. http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/education/notes-from-campus/layoffs-buyouts-affect-another-missouri-university-amid-budget-uncertainty/article_c917916d-f3fc-5d6a-b246-4333ed830fd0.html
