University of Arizona leaders say a round layoffs is underway as the the university continues a financial restructuring to deal with a budget deficit north of $160 million. "Dozens of separations have already occurred across campus and they will continue to occur," UA interim Chief Financial Officer John Arnold said. "I don't anticipate a single day where we announce hundreds of layoffs. It will take place overtime and be more piecemeal. Everything from high-end paid individuals to very low end paid-individuals." University of Arizona Faculty Senate Chair Leila Hudson is upset by the layoffs and argues it did not have to be this way.
