[Nhcoll-l] Sam Noble Museum Budget Cuts and Staff Reduction

[Braun, Janet K.]

Sent on behalf of Dr. Dan C. Swan, Interim Director, Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History


The University of Oklahoma recently enacted significant budget cuts and a comprehensive reduction in force initiative that negatively impacts several areas of the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, including the Collections and Research Division. The Recent Invertebrates Department experienced a major reduction in curatorial and collections management staff. The museum will undertake the steps necessary to insure that the collection in this department is maintained in accordance with professional curatorial standards. We will continue to facilitate research access to this collection through loans and on-site visitation. The museum will work with university administration to develop strategies to return this program to full staffing.
