Clarion University to dissolve college of education - Bill Schackner, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Clarion University plans to let go up to 40 employees campuswide -- including 22 faculty -- and dissolve its college of education under a broad restructuring intended to offset sharply lower state aid, rising costs and enrollment losses. The job cuts are part of a two-year workforce plan that university president Karen Whitney and other administrators say was drafted to help Clarion correct budget problems and position the state-owned university with 6,500 students for the future. http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/local/state/clarion-u-to-dissolve-college-of-education-699536/
