Eastern Illinois University is cutting 63 jobs due to budget shortfalls, citing lost funding and declining enrollment.
Eastern Illinois University is cutting 63 positions—including 17 staff roles, 23 instructor non-renewals, four academic support non-renewals, and 19 unfilled roles—due to a significant budget shortfall.
President Jay Gatrell cited lost federal funding, reduced grants, declining international enrollment, and the end of the university’s PBS affiliation as key factors.
The cuts, effective immediately, follow a voluntary separation program offering up to 20 weeks of salary for departing staff.
Affected employees were notified and will receive transition support.
The university emphasized the moves are necessary for long-term stability, not a reflection of employee value.
