Higher education layoffs eyed for 1982 83 plan
Springfield AP Gov James R Thompson's higher education plan may trigger teacher and staff layoffs with a wage freeze next year, state official Richard Wagner says. The budget constraints force cuts while some vacancies would remain open, with each university deciding how to trim staff. Wagner notes wage freezes and reduced funding threaten competitiveness and that the board will seek additional money while aligning with the governor's budget.
