Higher education in Springfield is hit again by hard times. Evangel University is laying off faculty and staff and cutting the budget to make up for more than a $1 million budget deficit. President Carol Taylor says they decided to tell those affected on Thursday, rather than wait. The cuts are do-in part to Evangel's consolidation with two other schools that created job redundancies. They also cut nearly three percent of the operating budget. Evangel University is eliminating twelve staff and 6 faculty positions and making other cuts. Evangel President-elect Dr. Carol Taylor explained there are several variables involved in the decision.
