Facing budget shortfalls, NWC bracing for layoffs - Kevin Killough, Powell Tribune

With falling enrollments and diminishing support from the state, Northwest College is facing a crunch as it plans its fiscal year 2020 budget. As a result of the shortfall, layoffs are likely. Stefani Hicswa, NWC president, said the college wouldn’t have any specifics on the reductions in force — such as how many positions and which departments would be impacted — until the NWC Board of Trustees meets in June to review a balanced budget. It’s not entirely certain the layoffs will occur, but the discussion at Monday’s board meeting suggested they’re highly probable. https://www.powelltribune.com/stories/facing-budget-shortfalls-nwc-bracing-for-layoffs,18964
