Owens to lay off dozens due to budget shortfalls - Toldeo Blade

More than two dozen Owens Community College administrative staff members will be laid off and even more positions could be cut, as the community college faces projected budget shortfalls. The college's Board of Trustees passed a resolution today that says "a reduction in the workforce is required due to substandard enrollment and rigorous economies," as Owens projects a $2.8 million deficit for this fiscal year, and a more than $7.5 million budget shortfall for next fiscal year. Owens has already told about 30 administrative staff members their contracts will not likely be renewed this summer, and 30 others will be either reassigned or have their contracts modified. http://www.toledoblade.com/Education/2013/04/02/Owens-to-lay-off-dozens-due-to-budget-shortfalls.html
