See a breakdown of USC's layoffs

Good afternoon. We’ve paused our daily email briefs for the summer, but I wanted to flag several budget-related stories and updates to our live layoff tracker.

• USC has laid off at least 55 employees — see the breakdown. (Morning, Trojan)

• Dornsife, USC’s largest school, will only hire new student workers with work-study funds. (Morning, Trojan)

• USC’s budget deficit ballooned to over $200 million last fiscal year — a more than 25% increase from the prior year. (Los Angeles Times)

• See a previously unreported breakdown of a mass layoff from a year ago. (Morning, Trojan)

• USC’s Verdugo Hills Hospital will shut down an outpatient mental health program. (Morning, Trojan)

• Janitors will clean USC offices and labs less frequently. (Morning, Trojan)

I’m busy at my day job right now, so my USC-reporting capacity is limited. But I’m still looking for tips: unreported information and documents. Reach me confidentially at tomo@morningtrojan.com or tomo.415 on Signal.
