St Louis Post-Dispatch: Univ. of MO Press laying off nearly half of its staff
The University of Missouri Press notified 7 of its 18 staff members today that they are being laid off. The layoffs will not take effect for at least a couple of weeks.
The layoffs come in the wake of growing financial losses for the press. Other university presses have also been struggling in recent years. In addition to the staff reductions, the press will also be refocusing its efforts, but the specific changes have not yet been hashed out, said university system spokeswoman Jennifer Hollingshead.
