Georgia State Cuts Staff Positions

Georgia State University in Atlanta says it will cut 300 staff positions to help deal with a reduction in state funding. The move will save the school $9-million. A school spokeswoman says only 30 of those jobs are currently filled, and that no full-time faculty will be cut. GSU has 27,000 students, but is losing $37-million in state funding for the new fiscal year. The school has 3,400 employees.
