Academic division implements college-wide strategies to balance budget - Garrett Strpko, Calvin Chimes

In the continuing effort to balance Calvin’s budget crisis, the academic division, under the direction of Provost Cheryl Brandsen, is reimplementing previously successful strategies in its hiring practices and distribution of work. The current plans are being carried out across all divisions of the college, with the academic division being one of the most important for cutting costs, taking up roughly 48 percent of the entire college budget. In the hope of refraining entirely from involuntary position reductions, the core of the strategy involves delaying the posting of new positions by at least 60 days. https://calvinchimes.org/2018/10/12/academic-division-implements-college-wide-strategies-to-balance-budget/
