The University of Maine is implementing a plan to reduce its projected nonacademic budget deficit by $6 million. This initiative involves cutting expenses through unspecified layoffs, shorter employee appointments, and eliminating vacancies. Additionally, the university aims to consolidate research centers and increase revenue by $1 million. These measures are part of a larger effort to address an estimated $19 million deficit for the upcoming fiscal year. Leaders are aggressively pursuing options to minimize the impact of layoffs.
