The Chronicle of Higher Education Daily News today has this:

Clark Atlanta University plans to fire 75 faculty members as part of an effort to eliminate a $7.5-million budget deficit. … The universitywide cuts may cost some tenure-track professors their jobs, according to Ms. Jack. Some departments may be eliminated entirely, she said.

Clark Atlanta is a private university in the same Carnegie classification as East Carolina and UNC-Greensboro. This is what cuts look like at a private institution, which can’t avail itself of the misericordia appeal to legislators that help sustain public institutions while other public concerns (and, of course, taxpayers) go lacking.
