This week several more major universities joined the list of institutions that were furloughing employees as one of the cost-cutting measures made necessary by the economic fallout of the coronavirus pandemic. The University of Missouri announced the furloughing of 579 employees, one of several measures to reduce a $17 million shortfall in the budget year that ends June 30. The furloughs come in addition to 49 layoffs, 569 salary reductions, and 217 voluntary salary decreases.
