After a financially turbulent year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, DePaul’s budget for the next two fiscal years have been approved — and big cuts are coming. According to a Newsline post by President A. Gabriel Esteban, Provost Salma Ghanem and Executive Vice President Sherri Sidler published May 13, the university aims to cut $13 million in expenses during the 2022 fiscal year. While the university claims workforce reductions will occur “only as a last resort,” $3 million of that figure will come from a “planned reduction in force amount,” according to the budget memorandum.
