Mizzou Must Cut Budget 8 – 12 % Layoffs Likely

Mizzou snowflakesThe University of Missouri has had an interesting couple of years. The hoax. The meltdown/protest and Melissa Click antics and termination. On Campus 1984esqu Social Justice Civil WarDeclining enrollment followed. And here comes the ax.

Leaders at the four University of Missouri System schools have less than a month to bring forward budget proposals that outline how they’re going to handle their share of budget cuts for the coming year.

Layoffs and program cuts are among the items that school leaders should consider, according to a budget planning webpage set up Monday by the UM System.

According to the statement, the budget cuts will range from 8 to 12 percent across the four campuses, which are the University of Missouri-Columbia, University of Missouri-St. Louis, Missouri University of Science & Technology, and the University of Missouri-Kansas City.

Dr. Melissa Click still has her job at Gonzaga. Maybe she can put in a good word.
