We have been expecting these cuts forsome time

We have no plans to reduce our workforce tocompensate for the cuts

Up to now we have only closed coursesbased on academic performance

We now need to consider courses based on

their financial viabilityWe will be less able to support a broad

range of separate academic departments

We will need to carefully consider any nonfrontline expenditure (staff and resources)
