With this in mind, the SSU board of trustees approved its latest budget in June listing reductions in personnel and non compensation expenses. Including a reduction of $1.2 million in expense reductions, the university made the following adjustments to “protect our core mission, quality of instruction, safety and service to our students.”
- Furloughed many of administrative and support staff over the summer.
- Eliminated over 30 vacant and filled jobs
- Realigned departments and services to gain efficiencies and permanent savings while preserving core student services and strategic initiatives.
- Disbanded the University College structure with key functions absorbed by the Office of the Provost and the College of Arts & Sciences.
