Marquette University has announced it will cut 105 staff positions. Twenty-five employees are being laid off, and the remaining 80 cuts will come mostly from future employee turnover, retirements, and attrition. “With families stretched to the limit in their ability to afford additional tuition costs, these challenging times require us to take difficult but necessary steps. Only by aligning our operations and resources with our fiscal realities can we keep a Marquette education affordable for our students,” said Robert Wild, interim president, in a letter to faculty and staff.
The cuts did not include any faculty positions.
According to a report in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, it will cost about $47,000 for an undergraduate to attend Marquette next year, including tuition, fees, and room and board.
