It may be that the IRS came down on the firm for falsifying SS8 and thus the "1099" employees were primarily targeted for the Reduction in Force?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902806755108251456.post-47027154624427769912012-08-04T19:40:02.171-06:002012-08-04T19:40:02.171-06:00Another culprit is the new Dean of Liberal Arts wh...Another culprit is the new Dean of Liberal Arts who has been saying that MHEC requires instructors to have 18 credit hours to teach; however, MHEC, per comar title 13 does not stpulate a rule.
