Everest cutting jobs in Colorado Springs

The company confirmed the layoffs on Tuesday, February 4, 2014.
Most of the employees who are losing their jobs work with prospective and newly-enrolled students in the admissions and student finance divisions.
A spokesperson with the university’s parent company says the workforce reduction is due to slowing enrollment.
