15 Lamar Univ. employees looking for work after jobs eliminated - Amy Moore, Beaumont Enterprise

Last week the university told the employees in the print shop, supply center and continuing education office that by Aug. 31 those programs no longer will be a part of the Lamar family. In the few days since learning their departments - and jobs - were being phased out to trim expenses, 15 Lamar University employees have been looking for work. Two have found jobs within the university, but there's no guarantee the others will have that same luck. "We're doing our best to help them relocate," said Kevin Smith, the university's senior associate provost. "We won't find jobs for all of them but we hope to."
