Facing budget cuts, MU tells some non-tenured faculty that contracts won't be renewed - KATY BERGEN, Kansas City Star

Proposed cuts to higher education by Gov. Eric Greitens — and uncertainty surrounding whether efforts to reduce those cuts will be successful — have prompted the University of Missouri to notify some non-tenure faculty that their contracts will not be renewed. "Despite our best efforts, the University of Missouri continues to face significant budget challenges," Interim Provost Jim Spain said in a letter Wednesday. "While we work productively with our legislators, it remains prudent for us to plan on a potential significant drop in state revenue for the upcoming fiscal year." http://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article202828319.html
