GRAMBLING — Grambling State University plans to implement furloughs for some employees ranging from one day to 12 days depending on salary and ask an undetermined number of year-round employees to work only nine months of the year, the university announced at a public meeting Wednesday morning.
In addition, GSU officials said the university is planning to lay off about 20 employees in 2011 in response to continuing state budget cuts and the loss of federal stimulus funding.
GSU also plans to merge some academic programs, restrict merit increases, continue a hiring freeze for all but essential personnel, continue a limited freeze on overtime, initiate an early retirement program, restructure its laboratory schools and transportation systems and implement a campus-wide energy conservation program aimed at reducing energy consumption by 15 percent.
Some of the longer range saving measures will be rolled out over two years.
GSU expects the plan, which must be approved by the University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors, to save $10 million over two years.
GSU President Frank Pogue told a crowd of about 200 packed into the School of Nursing auditorium that the university will present the budget-cutting plan to the board later this month.
