UC-Irvine has cut an additional 35 jobs affecting custodial employees who worked at the university under a contract with ABM Industries, the university confirms. In an email sent to “colleagues,” James W. Hay, assistant vice chancellor of facilities management, said the custodial and groundsworker layoffs were due to a 20% cut in the department’s operating expenses.  He said it is part of the university’s overall effort to close a $77 million funding gap created by state budget cuts
