Orangeburg, SC - South Carolina State University employees must take seven days off without pay to help shrink the public school's $6 million deficit.

The Times and Democrat of Orangeburg reports Wednesday that employees' normal breaks have been extended with unpaid days off. Those include three days around Thanksgiving, two days around Christmas and two days during spring break.

Employees learned of the furlough in a memo from college president George Cooper. Their January-through-April paychecks will be reduced.

Cooper blamed the shortfall on fewer students than expected, the university giving out more financial aid than budgeted, and state budget cuts.
