UDC cuts nearly 100 positions - Nick Anderson, Washington Post

The University of the District of Columbia is jettisoning nearly 100 positions from its staff and faculty in an effort to save $8.5 million a year, officials said Friday. The cuts, expected to result in dozens of layoffs, come little more than a month after the UDC Board of Trustees fired President Allen L. Sessoms. It was not immediately clear exactly how many employees would be laid off at the city’s public university and how many positions would be eliminated through attrition. A news release said 69 positions were abolished through a board vote Wednesday night. In addition, there were 28 “position eliminations” in an administrative shake-up that did not require a board vote, board Vice Chairman Christopher Bell said. http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/udc-cuts-nearly-100-positions/2013/01/25/c9dcc142-66fb-11e2-85f5-a8a9228e55e7_story.html
