UF would lay off about 100 more staff and faculty under budget cut proposals described this week, bringing the number of layoffs UF could see in the next round of cuts to about 250.
Most of the new layoffs would be in the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, which proposed about 93 staff layoffs.
IFAS includes the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences. IFAS spokesman Jack Battenfield said IFAS and the college were too intertwined to be able to separate cuts to the two entities.
Under its proposal, IFAS would cut about $16.4 million. In addition to staff layoffs, it would cut operating expenses, such as money for travel and equipment, and reduce the number of graduate assistants by 10 percent, or 40 students, he said. IFAS predicts graduate enrollment would fall by about 4 percent under that scenario.
Cuts to operating expenses and graduate assistants would save about $3.7 million, while layoffs would save about $4 million.
About 97 vacant staff and faculty positions would be eliminated, saving about $6.7 million. New funding, such as grants, would be found for about 45 positions, saving about $2 million.
Building maintenance and electricity costs would also be cut by about $100,000.
Though the College of Veterinary Medicine has not released its proposal, the only college that still hasn't done so, college spokeswoman Sarah Carey discussed some of the details.
Under its $2.3 million cut, about 10 faculty and 10 staff positions, most of them vacant, would be cut, Carey said.
The college would also hire about seven fewer residents and interns in the Veterinary Medical Center, which includes the small and large animal hospitals, next year, she said.
No programs would be cut and enrollment would not be reduced, she said.
All colleges and administrative units were asked to present 10 percent budget cuts to UF by Wednesday. UF Provost Joe Glover said he had received most of them by Thursday afternoon.
