Youngstown State University’s interim provost said no reduction in staff is necessary during this recent round of cuts thanks to voluntary retirements and separations. The update was shared Monday in an email to the campus community from Interim Provost Jennifer Pintar. In January, YSU announced a shift in focus toward “high-demand programs” while phasing out other majors where enrollment was reportedly faltering. The changes had the university looking at laying off 13 faculty members, but according to Pintar’s email Monday, that is no longer needed.
