UVa to cut up to 38 School of Continuing and Professional Studies employees - RUTH SERVEN SMITH, Daily Progress

The University of Virginia expects to lay off or request retirement from as many as 38 employees at its School of Continuing and Professional Studies this spring. Lower student demand and the end of program partnerships have led to a drop in enrollment and an $8 million budget shortfall, according to Dean Alex Hernandez. His team views reorganization as its last option to address the crisis. “It’s a difficult day for a lot of really excellent people,” Hernandez said Friday, shortly after notifying school faculty and staff about the reorganization, which will be completed by May 20. https://www.dailyprogress.com/news/local/uva/uva-to-cut-up-to-school-of-continuing-and-professional/article_72f8d2d6-4cf4-11e9-8b76-1772cdbbd0b5.html
