Anderson College Cutting Back as it shifts to four year
Anderson College will lay off at least nine faculty and staff in June as it shifts from a two year to a four year curriculum. Teaching staff drop from 73 to 69 while non teaching staff fall from 91 to 85. Enrollment rose to 1,123 this fall but first and second year courses lost about 200 students. The college reports higher junior and senior classes require more instructors and cites library and building expansions and a new fine arts center as cost drivers. A salary freeze may be extended amid a $12 million annual budget and demographic declines in high school graduates.

Rep Herb Kirsch calls it a fairness measure amid widespread use of the break. Revenue figures show only about 0.5 percent of agricultural land would be affected.
