Rural, public colleges in Louisiana are dealing with the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic by freezing salaries and vacant positions, while bracing for the potentiality of more funding cuts in the new fiscal year, a national report found. Across the country, colleges and universities have cut at least a tenth of the labor force they had before the start of the pandemic, according to an analysis of U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data by The Chronicle of Higher Education. That hasn t been the case in Louisiana higher education  yet. The four Louisiana schools included in the Alliance for Research on Regional Colleges report have not instituted layoffs, plugging holes by not filling vacancies or giving faculty standard-of-living pay increases. But leaders say such efforts are not sustainable long-term.
