EAST LANSING, MI — The president of Michigan State University says job cuts will be announced as soon as next month as the school tries to cut general fund spending by 9% over the next two years.
Kevin Guskiewicz says the cuts will be coming in July as individual colleges and units will begin implementing plans for the next school year.
‘Unfortunately, we will still have to eliminate some positions, the extent of which will vary by colleges and units. Although many units looked first to identify existing vacancies that could not be filled, there also will be some direct reductions in currently filled positions. The impacts of these losses will surely touch all of us, but of course, none more so than those directly affected,” he said in a letter to school employees.
The school’s president says the school is determined that budget changes still protect the Spartan student experience, including delivery of courses and instruction. “We will continue to invest in students, ensuring a high-quality, high-value education. We will maintain vital services such as police, food service and payroll at necessary levels to serve such a large, sophisticated organization.”
