Baldwin City ? Another seven employees have been laid off at Baker University.

A total of 30 people have lost their jobs this year at the Baldwin City-based private college as a result of a $1 million budget shortfall.

Three of the employees worked on the Baldwin City campus, said Steve Rottinghaus, Baker spokesman. Baker has campuses in Overland Park, Topeka and Wichita. No staff reductions were made in Topeka, where Baker has a nursing school, but Rottinghaus would not elaborate on where the other four employees had worked.

In addition, some other people’s work hours and responsibilities have been reduced, he said. Rottinghaus would not elaborate on how many workers that action affected.

In February, Baker President Pat Long announced 23 layoffs. At that time, she said she hoped that would be the last of the mass layoffs.

“Although we deeply regret seeing any employee leave Baker, we know building for our future requires proactive steps in controlling costs, eliminating duplication and maximizing efficiency,” Long said Tuesday morning.

Rottinghaus said those efforts are complete.

“At this time, there are no more layoffs planned,” he said.

Baker now has about 430 employees. In addition to the layoffs and work reductions, some open positions have not been filled.

Rottinghaus said the university will hold a forum once students return to campus to provide an update on Baker’s budget.

The $1 million shortfall was the result of numerous factors, including the layoffs in November of thousands of Sprint employees, many of whom were enrolled at the Overland Park campus.
