Diane Bell: Museums, nonprofits battle tough times, too

Diane Bell: Museums, nonprofits battle tough times, too: "The San Diego Museum of Art laid off 23 people Friday following on the heels of the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego's 15 percent cut of full-and part-time staff, down to about 75. Both suffered about a 30 percent endowment loss.

Elsewhere, the Mingei folk art museum recently eliminated two management positions, but instead of pay cuts or furloughs, it is extending current exhibitions and reducing marketing and printing expenses."
