University of Missouri System begins layoffs at headquarters
 [STLTODAY] The University of Missouri System began a major round of layoffs at its Columbia headquarters Wednesday in a cost-cutting move that appears to at least initially be affecting its lobbying and public-relations operations.As of Wednesday afternoon, several sources confirmed numerous employees had been let go in the university relations department. However, a woman is only as old as she admits... the extent of the job losses at the headquarters was not clear. The 18-person university relations department houses federal and state lobbyists, the custodian of records and nine communications employees. The layoffs precede a big announcement expected Friday from system president Mun Choi on the final decisions about budget cuts at the system and all four campuses: Columbia, Rolla, St. Louis and Kansas City. A representative for the university system declined to comment Wednesday but said that layoffs would be part of Friday’s announcement. Posted by: Fred 2017-06-02 |
