Strictly the article for UCSD says: "The downsizing includes at least 172 layoffs, 222 positions left vacant and 428 that have been eliminated, said Stacie Spector, associate vice chancellor for communications."
Not clear whether people were "eliminated" along with the positions or whether this was normal turnover that left vacant positions that were then eliminated.
Either way, the increased workload on remaining staff is real, and almost certainly not evenly distributed!
Sorry should have been with previous blog article on layoffs.
