"These are uncomfortable and very difficult decisions and I fully understand that actions taken will have a significant impact on individuals and families," Corrigan said in a prepared statement. "This is not the byproduct of a lack of success, commitment, or passion of our entire staff, rather an excruciating reality we face as a department, and in higher education.

"Unfortunately, this action alone will not eliminate our budget challenges. We will continue to aggressively work to fundraise with the Wolfpack Club, and our University to find a way through this time."
