$27 million dollars worth of vacant positions in academic units will be “permanently” eliminated, according to a new report sent to Governor Katie Hobbs on Friday. Other cuts include eliminating the university’s eSports program to save $300,000, suspending competitive grant programs in the Provost Investment fund to save $1.5 million, delaying the initiation of the President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program’s next cohort to save $400,000, and suspending the Strategic Priorities Faculty Initiative, which is expected to save $475,000 per year. The total cost savings of those cuts would be nearly $30 million.
