Classes begin Monday at St. Cloud State University, but some staff and faculty may not be carrying that same back to school excitement as they did last year. That’s because officials with SCSU announced in April due to its ongoing budget deficit, the school will reduce staff and proposed reducing the number of majors offered. According to the spring update, a 22% reduction in staff since 2013 has not kept up with the 38% decline in enrollment in the same period. The current proposed plan shows there are 37 positions not in the budget for 2024, and they would be eliminated. The total suggested 108 personnel reductions through 2028.
