OU lays off more administrators, denies 'budget crisis' - Conor Morris, Athens News

An Ohio University spokesperson confirmed last Thursday that the university has laid off four people in its Finance and Administration division and “abolished” 12 total positions in those departments (eight of those jobs were unoccupied at the time). Late last April, the university similarly announced it had cut 13 positions in the Finance and Administration departments, eight of which were vacant positions, meaning five people were laid off. This is all an extension of ongoing budget woes at the university, with no raises for any employees in the current fiscal year and some budget reductions at academic units throughout the university already implemented. https://www.athensnews.com/news/campus/ou-lays-off-more-administrators-denies-budget-crisis/article_3991cbd2-1fdd-11e8-828e-2fb4b1caf511.html
