OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) - Creighton University president Rev. Daniel Hendrickson announced in a letter Thursday that 66 nonteaching jobs had been cut.
Hendrickson also announced he had frozen top administrators' salaries.
The cuts make up five percent of the non-faculty workforce and half of the positions eliminated were vacant. Hendrickson said employees were given severance packages, paid benefits and support services.
