More University Cuts in Florida

The PoHo points to this Sun Sentinel report about more cuts at Florida Universities.

“Florida’s state universities may look dramatically different this fall, with larger classes, fewer employees and fewer courses and degrees offered to students.

“The University of Florida, the state’s flagship university, unveiled a list of $108 million in possible cuts today, joining a growing number of the state’s 11 schools drafting plans to deal with Florida’s unprecedented economic downturn.

“UF may lay off 378 employees, eliminate degree programs such as geological sciences and religion and force employees to give up payments for unused sick time.”

The university is a economic engine. This is the kind of action you take when you’re trying to destroy a state’s economy.
