Highlights 1 San Francisco university lays off 49 IT employees and outsourced their work. The University of California, San Francisco on Tuesday laid off 49 information technology (IT) employees and outsourced their work to a company based in India, ending a year-long process that has brought the public university under fire. The University of California system, which includes health care and research-focused UCSF, has been struggling to raise revenue and cut expenses. In addition to the 49 staff layoffs, another 48 positions that were vacant or filled by contractors were eliminated. California Senator Dianne Feinstein last year said the university had a responsibility to keep jobs in the United States and pledged to seek reforms to stop domestic jobs being outsourced.
