MN State-Mankato Eliminates Positions
2026-08-06
(Mankato, MN) — Minnesota State University, Mankato is eliminating 60 positions as it works to close a $22 million budget deficit. The plan includes 17 layoffs, unfilled positions, and voluntary early retirement incentives. President Edward Inch says rising operating costs, combined with slower growth in tuition revenue and state funding, made the cuts necessary. Faculty and staff unions oppose the plan, arguing it will hurt students and the regional economy. The university is also increasing tuition by 6.37 percent this fall, the second straight year of significant hikes.
