DePaul University Lays Off Dozens of Staff

DePaul University (IL) has announced the layoffs this week of 62 full- and part-time staff members.  The decision comes as the Catholic school’s board of trustees approved “major cost-saving measures and strategic reductions in the FY19 budget, primarily in administrative and support expenses. These structural changes will place the university in a better long-term position to invest in strategic growth,” the university said in a statement to staff Thursday.
