Those Aren't Leaves Falling...

Today was a bad day for college staff. Numerous people were given pink slips by HR.

So far, we've received confirmations of cuts being made from B&G and the message center. Yes, friends, Cassie has been asked to leave in December. =/

Also of note is that the Assistant Director of Campus Activities position vacated by Megan Habermann in August will not be filled. Instead, Associate Director of Campus Activities, Michelle Ransom, will take on most of Megan's duties, with the remainder of them being taken on by Executive Director of Campus Activities, Terry Quinn.

We haven't heard anything yet regarding cuts for professor positions, if any have been made.

All this is interesting, as it comes after widely-reported news that the worst of the recession is over... Obviously, this isn't true at Vassar.

UPDATE: Cappy just sent out an email about the cuts made today. Departments affected include "the Dean of the College, CIS, Development, AAVC, the Dean of Planning and Academic Affairs, College Relations, and the Vice President for Finance and Administration."
