UW dental school is fixing its financial woes, but university’s overall deficit remains a worry - Katherine Long, Seattle Times

Over the last year, the University of Washington’s debt-plagued dental school eliminated the equivalent of 34 full-time faculty and staff through layoffs and attrition, tightened expenses and found other ways to save money. Now, its interim dean says, it has turned a financial corner. The school is still losing money — $2 million over the last fiscal year — and saw its long-running deficit grow to $38 million, although the losses last year are less than a third of what was originally forecast because of the layoffs and other cuts. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/education/uw-dental-school-is-fixing-its-financial-woes-but-universitys-overall-deficit-remains-a-worry/
