Layoffs at La Salle After Drop in Frosh Enrollment

Layoffs at La Salle University recently ended the jobs of 23 people, or about 3 percent of the workforce, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported. The layoffs followed a significant decline in the number of freshmen, which is currently projected to be 725, down 16 percent from the class of a year ago, which was 860. University leaders said they are planning changes to bolster La Salle, which currently has a $12 million budget shortfall.
