University of Wisconsin System interim President Tommy Thompson says administrative employees will be laid off over the next two years due to budget cuts.
Thompson didn’t specify a number of positions to be eliminated, but a 10 percent reduction would mean about 60.
The system’s 13 universities are making their own staff reductions, but the cuts announced Tuesday affect administration employees only.
Thompson announced the moves will save $10 million in a budget under stress.
The system has already been hit with a $49 million state spending reduction and it faces another loss of state money now.
