DULUTH, Minn. — Nearly 50 staff and 12 faculty members took part in voluntary layoff programs at the University of Minnesota Duluth as part of its budget reduction plan. Chancellor Lendley Black announced to faculty and staff in a letter Thursday that UMD hopes to reduce its budget by $9.4 million, and proposed $2.5 million in cuts and nearly $700,000 in increased revenue. Much of what was revealed in a list of possibilities comes from savings through the staff layoffs, which total more than $1.2 million.
