Students return next week to Greensboro College, a school that has laid off staff to deal with debt of more than $19 million.

The News & Record of Greensboro reported Tuesday that the small Methodist college has laid off 10 more staff members, including three part-time music teachers and the band director. The school is down to 68 full-time faculty members.
