RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
NOTE 11: RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
 
During fiscal year 2018, Adtalem recorded restructuring charges related to workforce reductions and real estate consolidations at the medical and veterinary schools, Becker Europe and Adtalem’s home office. At Adtalem Brazil, restructuring charges were recorded for the planned divestiture of the Sao Luis and Joao Pessoa institutions in fiscal year 2019. We also recorded a reduction to restructuring charges in fiscal year 2018 for an adjustment to previously accrued estimates for real estate consolidations at Adtalem’s home office. During fiscal year 2017, Adtalem recorded restructuring charges related to workforce reductions and real estate consolidations at the administrative support operations of the medical and veterinary schools and Adtalem’s home office. Termination benefit charges, as a result of reducing Adtalem’s workforce by 196 and 173 positions in fiscal years 2018 and 2017, respectively, represented severance pay and benefits for these employees. Adtalem’s home office is classified as “Home Office and Other” in “Note 16: Segment Information.” Pre-tax restructuring charges by segment were as follows (in thousands):

Of this liability balance, $14.5 million is recorded as Accrued Liabilities and $24.4 million is recorded as Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2018. These liability balances primarily represent rent accruals and costs for employees that have either not yet separated from Adtalem or their full severance has not yet been paid. All of these remaining costs are expected to be paid over the next 12 months except for rent charges which may be paid out for periods of up to 7 years.
