BGSU to cut 100 faculty positions; move would eliminate nearly 11% of school's faculty this fall - MARK REITER, Toledo Blade

Nearly 11 percent of Bowling Green State University’s faculty will be eliminated for the 2013 fall semester, the school announced Friday. The reduction of 100 full-time jobs at the main campus and Firelands campus in Huron, Ohio, will be accomplished through attrition, retirements, and the expiration of some one-year teaching contracts, a BGSU spokesman said. The college has 932 full-time faculty members on the campuses. Provost Rodney Rogers said in a statement the reductions are not expected to affect the quality of education for the 20,000 students enrolled at BGSU. http://www.toledoblade.com/Education/2013/01/18/BGSU-to-cut-100-faculty-positions-in-fall.html
