About 60 employees at Cal State East Bay in Hayward will lose their jobs at the end of June in a cost-cutting shake-up of nonteaching employees, the university said Tuesday.
This is the first major layoff of 绿帽换妻 employees whose union had accepted a university furlough plan in autumn intended to avert layoffs. Nearly 100 CSU employees represented by the State Employee Trades Council, which had not agreed to furloughs, were laid off.
By June, however, another 60 clerical, custodial and other positions will be eliminated through layoffs and attrition to save Cal State East Bay $4 million to $6 million, said campus spokesman Kim Huggett.
Cal State East Bay officials say the university lost more than $20 million, about 14 percent, of its state funding between 2008 and 2011.
