University of Akron board of trustees agreed to reverse the university's decision to impose a $50 per credit hour fee on upper-level courses -- but also agreed to cut 213 positions.

UA spokesman Wayne Hill said employees will be notified on Monday and Tuesday.

The moves were made after the university announced plans to eliminate a $60 million dollar shortfall over the next few years.

Trustees didn't take any questions from faculty, staff and students. Some waited two hours to speak after trustees held an executive session.
