Morehead State Budget Would Eliminate 64 Positions

Morehead State University has announced budget recommendations, including the elimination of 64 positions. 
 
Multiple news outlets report school officials made the announcement Thursday.  

President Wayne D. Andrews said in a statement that the cuts are in response to a budget deficit of more than $9.7 million because of declining enrollment, population and a decrease in state funding. 
 
Of the positions proposed to be eliminated, 30 are filled and 34 are vacant. Other recommendations include a total of $4.9 million in revenue enhancements and $718,594 reductions in the university's operating budget.
 
A final budget recommendation is expected to be presented to the Board of Regents in June.
