Manhattan College, now facing an approximately $10 million budget deficit, is no exception. As a result of the deficit, the college has had to make as many cuts as possible across campus, but even in doing so college leadership still had to move forward with 25 furloughs, scaled pay cuts and a temporary end to retirement fund contributions. While these may have been tough choices, some college employees are dissatisfied with the ways in which college leadership has handled communication and decision-making. Employees were notified of the pay cuts and furloughs on Oct. 27 in an email from President Brennan O’Donnell.
