Ivy Tech Will Be Laying Off 202 Employees. What that Means for Indy Campus
- Ivy Tech Community College laid off 202 employees statewide starting May 30, 2025, including campuses and its Indianapolis Systems Office.

- Despite staffing cuts, Ivy Tech will maintain all 19 campuses and prioritizes academic quality and student services while facing ongoing financial challenges.
