College President Daniel Weiss wrote in an e-mail to staff, faculty and students that Lafayette plans to decrease its operating budget by roughly 10 percent, or approximately $11 million.
In interviews with The Morning Call earlier this year, Lafayette officials said the college has relied on its endowment for 25 percent to 30 percent of its annual budget. But that endowment has dropped almost 30 percent since its peak in June 2007.
Lafayette College is Easton's largest employer.
