Naropa University will eliminate 11 core faculty and about 40 instructor positions. This addresses a structural operating deficit of roughly $2 million. Six core faculty volunteered for leave; five others were offered it. Approximately 40 instructors will not have their contracts renewed but can teach as adjuncts. The university seeks to adjust its business model and ensure future stability.
