Winston-Salem State University is laying off 16 people and eliminating 30 vacant positions as part of a restructuring plan that will cut $7 million to $9 million from its current budget, school officials said today.
Eight of the 16 people who will be laid off work at the Child Development Center and Laboratory School, which will close Aug. 21. The center, which opened in 1975, provides day care and has been a training ground for students interested in teaching and nursing. It took children from ages 3 to about 5.
University officials will also lay off people from other parts of the university but no faculty positions will be affected. Jobs will be cut from admissions, the provost's office, information resources, the budget office and the evening weekend college program, said Nancy Young, the interim director of public and media relations for the university.
Most of the layoffs were effective today, she said.
