The Westminster Colorado campus had already laid off the Associate Dean and all department chairs last year. Now the other ax has fallen. All full time instructors were laid off as well as the Registrar. This leaves the Director, Dean, and of course the Financial Aid and Reps. We even hear tell that the Regional Director has been canned. Seems like the glory days of this place are in the rear view mirror.

WOW I'm shocked...another person being brave GOOD FOR YOU! That happened also at my school awhile ago it was the first round. Round 1 - They laid off 2 admin people, 1 FA rep, assistant dean was demoted to F/T instructor, a few F/T instructors were demoted to adjuncts, Career services rep was laid off, records person demote to admin. Round 2 - all involved academics, so the rest of the F/T instructors were demoted to adjuncts and program offerings were nixed so they got rid of 2 chairs. At one time things at my school were so slim you would go to staff meeting and there would be less than 20 people in the room. It was pretty sad.
