Western Michigan University laying off 240 employees because of budget shortfall - Andrew Minegar, WWMT

Western Michigan University said they would be laying off 240 employees. Western Michigan University President Edward Montgomery sent a letter April 30, 2020, that said they met with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees union to notify them of the layoff. “We do not know if or when these employees may be recalled to come back to work,” Montgomery said in the letter. “It will depend on the ongoing restrictions that limit the impacted services and our overall budget situation. However, it is unlikely that this portion of our workforce will return to the current level in the near future.”
