University faces major faculty cuts amid restructuring
During a recent government meeting, discussions centered on the ongoing restructuring within the educational institution, highlighting significant changes in faculty positions and leadership roles.

The meeting revealed that five to six instructor-level positions were eliminated at the end of the academic year, with additional notices of terminal contracts expected to be issued to tenured and tenure-track faculty by the end of the month. While all faculty members currently hold contracts, the future of these positions remains uncertain as decisions will be finalized after the faculty returns to school and completes the curriculum review process.

No staff positions were cut; instead, some employees were relocated to fill existing job openings within the university. The institution has also streamlined its leadership structure, resulting in the elimination of stipends for certain chair positions due to a reduction in the number of units.

While projected numbers regarding faculty reductions were discussed, officials emphasized that these figures are not yet finalized and should not be made public until official decisions are reached. The meeting concluded with a note on the typical outcomes of such reorganizations, where faculty often seek new positions voluntarily following announcements of structural changes.
