Bowling Green State University plans to not renew 30 full-time faculty members because of budget shortfalls. Provost Rodney Rogers, in a message to BGSU employees on Monday, said the move would save an estimated $1.4 million a year. Mr. Rogers said the cuts would come from the nearly 260 nontenure-track faculty members. The university’s faculty union plans to fight the job losses. “We are constantly trying to balance to ensure that we have strong academic programs but also ensuring that a Bowling Green degree is affordable,” Mr. Rogers said. The university announced last month the need for large budget cuts because of a deficit that’s projected at between $3 million and $10 million over the next several years. President Mary Ellen Mazey said at the time the shortfall will be covered with budget cuts, not tuition increases.
