Getty Trust Cuts 200+ Positions, Institutes Budget Trims and Expects Exhibit Delays

Following seemingly every other museum in the country and across the world, the J. Paul Getty Trust is the latest to suffer cuts due to the struggling economy. This week, the organization announced that it would be cutting more than 200 positions (some vacant, but 91 employees will be leaving), will pull their spending way back, and expect to delay upcoming exhibitions and purchasing. They have also said that they plan to not implement any new raises and that their higher ups will be taking a six percent pay cut.
