Monday, March 22 was a difficult day for some Brown staff members. That morning, the University sent an e-mail notifying staff that approximately 60 employees would be laid off by the end of June. Coupled with 139 staff members who have accepted early retirement packages from the University, last month's announcement signified that Brown staff members are not immune to the University's cost-cutting responses to the economic recession.
The attention paid to Brown staff in the past few weeks has turned the campus' focus to a portion of the Brown community not often given much notice. Today, The Herald sheds a spotlight on the staff at Brown.
