Bishop State Community College is making cuts to get a balanced budget.
The college is cutting faculty in order to deal with the state's possible funding cuts and fewer students at the school.
Sixteen non-tenured employees were told that their positions had been cut.
A majority are teachers.
BSCC President Dr. James Lowe says Bishop State has served 5,000 students in the past, but currently 2,650 students are enrolled.
Bishop State also lost out on federal funding because of a financial aid scandal.
More than two dozen people have been charged with stealing $200,000 from the college.
