Chatham University Initiates a Campus-Wide Reorganization Amid a $6 Million Deficit

Weighed down by a $6 million deficit, Chatham University is undergoing a campus-wide reorganization to mitigate the effects of financial hardship. About 8% of staff positions have been eliminated — putting 20 staffers out of a job — and the university leadership team has been restructured, according to school officials. The private university has also consolidated four departments — International Affairs, the Office of Academic & Accessibility Resources, Academic Advising and the Office of Career Development and Internships — into a new Academic Success department, and the library has been integrated into the Information Technology department.
