Miles college announced Thursday a “limited” number of layoffs beginning June 22 and temporary furloughs to reduce costs and cut expenses as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We are doing everything we can to minimize the impact to the hard-working faculty and staff members of miles college, but we must make some painful but necessary decisions,” the school said in a statement.
The school didn’t say how many employees would be laid off or furloughed.
“We are hopeful that those furloughs will not exceed six weeks,” the school says.
“While these decisions are difficult, we remain focused on our mission to educate, motivate and prepare students for the future,” the school says.
