Christian Brothers University announced plans to eliminate 16 full-time faculty positions at the end of the spring semester as part of efforts to balance the operating budget and reposition the campus for sustainability. University leaders said no academic programs would be eliminated and that students could complete declared majors with minimal disruption. The cuts follow a multi-year restructuring that included declaring financial exigency in 2023, program eliminations, and a recent lift of accreditor probation. The move illustrates the broader trend of small private colleges downsizing faculty and administrative costs to address enrollment declines and operating deficits.
