IPFW discusses layoffs, balancing budget - Sarah Janssen, The Journal Gazette

Layoffs may be over for IPFW, but hard cuts could continue as the university moves forward with balancing its budget. Top administrators, including Chancellor Vicky Carwein, conducted several meetings throughout the day Wednesday for faculty, staff and students to hear more about the administration's budget-cutting process and to ask questions. The IPFW Faculty Senate also had a special meeting to hear the presentation. The university budget plan addresses an $8.4 million shortfall, half of which is due to declining enrollment, Carwein said during a presentation. http://www.journalgazette.net/article/20130327/LOCAL04/130329465
