Its amusing that they are taking these steps but at the same time they are building a new hall on their south campus.

Realize that project was probabl y planned, funded and contracted long before lay-off discussions. Also, I think that grant money and alum contributions typically go for capex versus funding an office worker or even a Dept. Chair.
The Wyle E Coyote Center for Dynamite Studies etc.

It seems that they are getting more students each year, and tuition rises each year, but somehow they need to cut costs. It sounds like Moravian may be running into a surplus pretty soon. Can they decrease the quality of food? Already done. Decrease the value of a meal plan? Already done. Decrease the quality of education? Not even possible. Perhaps the school will close, and then everybody wins.

No need to get nasty. Apparently there is a college for everyone.
