The University of Louisiana at Lafayette has begun layoffs as it works to address a $25 million budget deficit... President Jamie Hebert announced in a letter that the Office of Sustainability and Community Engagement is being closed while the Offices of Communications and Marketing and Auxiliary Services are being restructured. So far, six staff positions have been eliminated.

Hebert acknowledged the personal impact of the cuts, saying the university aims to protect the student experience, support faculty, and minimize human impact while restoring financial stability. A town hall is scheduled to provide updates and hear from the campus community.

Brown University is laying off 48 employees and eliminating 55 vacant positions as part of a broader effort to shave $30 million off its budget, top leaders at the Ivy League institution announced Monday.

In August, the university blamed its financial challenges on recent federal policy changes, including an expected decline in research funding from the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Energy and other agencies. Prior to that, leaders warned that “significant cost-cutting” measures would be needed.
