As officials at Mid-Continent University work on submitting the correct
paperwork to release federal funding, acting president Ken Winters has
announced several money-saving steps. Winters met privately with faculty
and staff members Tuesday morning. He told the group about several
actions the school has taken, including temporarily laying off about 40
staff members, selling property and vehicles, and freezing new
admissions. Winters was given broad authority to act on behalf of the
Mid-Continent Board of Trustees.
About a dozen people from Crittenden County attend the university.
