Indiana set
to cut 25 jobs
INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana University has eliminated 25 athletic department jobs as it prepares for revenue sharing with athletes that is expected to begin this year.
That’s according to a person with knowledge of the decision who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the school hasn’t announced the moves. School officials are attempting to trim the budget in each division of the athletic department, such as compliance and communications, by roughly 10%.
That means roughly a dozen vacant jobs will not be filled, with the remaining cuts coming from layoffs.
