LSU, anticipating significant budget cuts from the state, is scaling back on the hiring of new faculty.

"We're going ahead with our course offerings but we have scaled back hiring," LSU President F. King Alexander, also chancellor at the Baton Rouge campus, said.

The university had planned on hiring 125 new faculty members, a majority of which are replacements due to retirements and open vacancies, but Alexander said that figure will be scaled back by some 50 percent. Instead, LSU will look to hire 60 new faculty members.

Wait a minute... I've been hearing all the bullshite about professors losing their jobs due to budget cuts... but is it just that LSU isn't hiring as many new people as they wanted? So nobody is actually losing their job... it's just less people being hired?
