Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Clark Atlanta cuts 100 staffers

With university’s enrollment, endowment down, faculty must be let go, president says.

About 70 full-time Clark Atlanta University faculty members and 30 other full-time employees are receiving word today that they have lost their jobs.

To compensate for the cutbacks to the school’s 650-member staff, some classes are being combined, university President Carlton E. Brown said Friday.

Brown emphasized that the university remains fully accredited and financially sound.
