The economy is in a dismal state, universities are suffering from cutbacks, and many students must turn to any source of funds available if they are to make ends meet. Faced with this situation, the university has terminated the employment of some of its more productive departmental workers. Why?

(B) has lost some full-time employees and will replace them with part-time student-employees
(C) is looking for new employees to replace some who have quit
(D) anticipates losing some employees and has already begun to seek replacements
(E) anticipates paying new employees lower wages than the former employees received
