“As our federal research portfolio shrinks, the infrastructure around it must change in parallel. Last year, we implemented significant cost-management initiatives including a hiring freeze, pausing annual increases for anyone making over $80,000, reducing discretionary spending, eliminating vacant positions, and reducing our five-year capital project spending by 20%,” the university said in a statement to FOX Local. “While these efforts ensured that employment actions would be a last resort, this week, roughly 110 employees, primarily serving administrative functions, were laid off from university administration and other divisions.”<\/p>

The backstory:<\/p>

The layoffs come about a year after the university said it was eliminating more than 2,200 workers after the \u200bTrump administration \u2060terminated some grants, including cuts to National Institutes of Health\u2019s NIH) grants for research institutions. The university is one of the top recipients of the NIH\u2019s funding to help with research.<\/p>

The university said earlier this month it was designating $60 million annually for the next two years to help meet the needs of faculty, students and research teams facing federal grant terminations or delays.\u00a0<\/p>
