University of Maine leaders have outlined measures intended to reduce a projected $9 million nonacademic budget deficit to approximately $3 million. The plan includes an unspecified number of layoffs, eliminating vacancies, and shortening some employee appointments.
Officials are also considering consolidating operations, reducing outside spending, and increasing revenue. These measures address only part of a larger university shortfall, with leadership warning that workforce reductions may still be needed despite efforts to limit them.
Go woke, go broke.
