Nine months after publicly acknowledging the likelihood of future layoffs, due to a mulitimillion-dollar budget deficit, Penn State confirmed it has laid off fewer than 10 full-time employees. According to a spokesperson, fewer than 10 layoffs have occurred universitywide, which was markedly less than the 50 full-time jobs that university President Neeli Bendapudi said “may be” in jeopardy during an April 25 faculty senate meeting. Bendapudi said as early as last September there would be no mass layoffs.
