An organization that advocates and teaches nonviolence practices in Rhode Island schools and prisons has been forced to lay off staff, its executive director said Monday.
Teny Gross of the Institute for the Study & Practice of Nonviolence said losses in federal and state funding have forced the institute to lay off about one-third of its staff. Gross and remaining staffers are taking pay cuts.
“It is a cruel twist of (fate) that Friday morning as I was making widespread layoffs due to federal and state funding cuts, a gunman was killing children and teachers,” Gross said in a news release.
