Another Bad News Story
Just before July 4th we got word that another major university is closing its print and mail facility and writing specifications to outsource these services. Last week another in-plant manager at a good-sized university lost her position when the university closed the in-plant. That makes at least a half dozen major in-plant closings this year. And more are on the way.
