BETHUNE-COOKMAN UNIVERSITY MIGHT FURLOUGH STAFF DURING SPRING BREAK TO BALANCE ITS BUDGET - Danielle Prieur, WMFE

Bethune-Cookman University’s Interim President says employees can expect layoffs and salary cuts. The school is trying to balance its budget and get its accreditation back. In a YouTube video on Bethune-Cookman University’s channel, Interim President Hubert Grimes says a mismanaged dorm deal and operating at a budget deficit for three years, contributed to the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools putting the school’s accreditation on probation. That’s why the school was found deficient in the way it handles its finances and not its academic programs. https://www.wmfe.org/bethune-cookman-university-might-furlough-staff-during-spring-break-to-balance-its-budget/96099
