Faculty Jobs Cut, Staff Told They Are At Risk Of Layoffs At Evergreen State University - JOHN SEXTON, Hot Air

Earlier this week I highlighted a piece at the Wall Street Journal which warned layoffs were coming to Evergreen State College. Yesterday, Campus Reform reported that the layoffs have already begun: John Carmichael, the chief of staff and secretary to the Evergreen State College Board of Trustees, announced in a memo to staff and faculty members on Tuesday that the school has already cut 24 faculty lines and eliminated 19 vacant staff positions, and warned that up to 20 additional staff members could seen be laid off. “Over the past several days, 20 staff members have been notified that they are at risk for layoff,” Carmichael wrote. “These layoffs, although necessary to stabilize the college’s budget, represent a profound loss felt by many.” It’s not clear how many of the faculty jobs were already vacant when they were cut. It sounds from this as if the 19 staff positions that were eliminated were already vacant but an additional 20 staff positions that are not vacant could be cut at any time. https://hotair.com/archives/2018/05/25/layoffs-begin-evergreen-state-university/
