Public universities begin furloughing employees — and law schools are not exempt
Public universities have begun furloughing employees in an effort to reduce costs, and law schools aren't exempt from the unpaid leave policies. For example, Arizona State University has implemented a universitywide furlough program that applies to the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law. The move is expected to save the university about $24 million at a time when the Arizona lawmakers are looking at significant cuts to state university funding.
