Cal Athletics informed about two dozen marketing, athletics communications and creative services employees last Friday that they will be laid off in early June in an effort to restructure external-facing operations. The news was initially confirmed by Cal Bears on Sports Illustrated, which obtained a copy of the email sent to staff members. Associate Athletics Director of Communications Jonathan Okanes confirmed the layoffs and said in an email Cal Athletics was realigning financial and human resources to emphasize “revenue growth and authentic storytelling.” ✍️: Jaycee Hendrickson 📸: Agranya Ketha . . . #ucberkeley #dailycal #berkeley #calathletics #calbears #sportsillustrated
