Tacoma-Based Technical College Lets 25 Go

Bates Technical College in Tacoma, Washington is laying off some 25 staff members due to budget cuts.

A total of 45 faculty members and support staff were issued reduction-in-force notices according to spokeswoman Edie Jeffers. She went on to explain that although the college expects to lay off 25 employees, the additional notices were given to satisfy contractual obligations. The other staffers have the privilege to know about workplace changes that may adversely impact them, before they actually go into effect.

The college enrolls some 1,500 full-time students and serves about 15,000 total students each year. The college has three campuses which offers both technical certificates and degrees in a variety of disciplines.
