Morehead State University’s latest budget recommendation includes the elimination of 64 positions.
President Wayne Andrews said in a statement the cuts are in response to a budget deficit of more than $9.7 million dollars because of declining enrollment, population and a decrease in state funding.
30 of those positions are filled, 34 are vacant.
Other recommendations include a total of $4.9 million in revenue enhancements and $718,594 reductions in the university's operating budget.
A final budget recommendation is expected to be presented to the Board of Regents in June.
