The university also said that they have already sent notices to the Workers Adjustment and Retraining Notification that they will be laying off more than 800 employees at UM from July 31. The notice said that these layoffs are on permanent basis and therefore they will not be able to retain the staff in the future.

The University of Miami said that they have been going through various financial problems and currently the university has more than 13,000 employees.
