Valparaiso University eliminated 14 staff positions Thursday as part of a restructuring effort, according to an internal email shared by two sources with the Post-Tribune.
Brauer Museum of Art director and curator Jonathan Canning speaks about the process of deaccessioning art at the museum on Thursday, April 6, 2023. His staff position was one of 14 eliminated by the university on Thursday.
The changes, according to the email, are to help the university meet the objectives of its strategic plan. “Updated staffing will be determined for the fall to allow faculty/students and classes access to the collection for academic purposes,” the email states. The museum previously was open free of charge Wednesdays through Saturdays for the campus and community.
“I decided to do a show on the museum field’s best practices for deaccessioning,” Canning said while going through the new exhibit when it opened. In other changes announced by Volpatti and Johnson, Auxiliary Services and Recreational Sports/Intramurals are being shifted away from Student Life to the Office of Finance and Administration and Athletics, respectively.
