Poor public relations plus poor leadership equals hard times. That’s basically what Mizzou as an entire university is dealing with at the moment.
Amid budget cuts and an anticipated 7.4 percent drop in enrollment, leaders at the University of Missouri-Columbia are expecting to trim about 400 positions.
Most of the jobs would be cut through attrition, with fewer than 100 layoffs projected. Interim Mizzou chancellor Garnett Stokes announced the budget details at a campus forum Monday.
Mizzou has already said it is expecting its smallest freshman class in two decades.
