\nJefferson Community and Technical College has announced it is laying off 61 employees, about 14 percent of its staff.<\/p>\n
Vice President Lisa Brosky told local media Wednesday the college concluded its workforce “must be leaner and more efficient” in order to maintain a balanced operating budget. The cuts come from the college’s 287 full-time staff and 149 part-time staff members.<\/p>\n
Similar cuts are expected in the ranks of faculty.<\/p>\n
Brosky says declining enrollment has created “significant budget pressures.” Enrollment has declined from a peak of 15,000 in 2010 to 10,700 this spring. The school is facing an $8.5 million deficit. About 75 percent of the college’s budget comes from tuition dollars.<\/p>\n
The staffers who will be let go were notified Thursday. Their last day of employment will be June 30.
