Yet another woke Catholic university is going down in flames as DePaul University faces a $56 million budget deficit. This follows the enrollment drop and corresponding revenue decrease at the University of Portland, a leftist, pro-LGBT university that is only nominally Catholic.
The campus newspaper reports that the university has begun not renewing or filling professor positions, cutting staff and looking into other ways to slash the budget because “projections indicated DePaul’s expenses will outweigh revenue by $56.5 million in the 2023-24 academic year.”
The Strategic Resource Allocation Committee detailed the cuts that will likely be made – “Cost-saving measures were broken down between faculty, who will need to cut $11.3 million; staff, who are tasked with cutting $28.3 million; and departmental expenses of which $16.9 million will need to be cut,” The DePaulia reported, based on an email from the Faculty Council president.
