Brown University laid off 12 employees -- including staff members, professors and administrators -- last week as part of several efforts to trim its operating budget, communications director Julie Gumm said Monday.

The measures also included non-personnel budget cuts and cost savings in general insurance, utilities and deferred maintenance and trimming of unfilled positions.
