PSU to eliminate 166 positions
PORTLAND (AP) — Port
land State University plans to
cut its staff and administra
tion by about one-fifth over
the next two years to meet
the demands of the Measure
5 property tax limit.
But tin? school hopes to avoid losing any of its
15.000 students.
That means more work for those in the remain
ing 445 academic positions, none of whom will get
pay raises. Foreign language teachers, for example,
expect to have larger classes
"Students are going to lx> ill-served.” said Craig
VVollner. n history professor and president of the
PSU chapter of the American Association of Uni
versity Professors.
The plan will be subject to change after respons
es from faculty and students in a series of hearings
this month. Legislative action on state funding for
higher education also could change the details.
"It is horrible," said Linda Parshall. chairwoman
of foreign languages and literature and a member
of the budget reduction committee. 'It is obvious
ly extremely bad for morale. In addition, it is going
to be bad for quality."
The plan — announced to faculty and students
ilunng a meeting in th«‘ gymnasium Tuesday after
noon —■ calls for eliminating 106 administrative
and instructional positions, 52 classified positions,
such as sis retaries and janitors. and eight graduate
assistant positions Some positions affect morn
than one person sim e some teachers work part
time.
The administration recommended reducing
vacant positions and encouraging early retirements
rather than cutting whole programs, which are dif
ficult to replace Hut that hits some departments
harder than others Chemistry, for example, is
faced with losing five of its 14 positions
"We're not sure what we're going to do." said
Robert O'Brien, professor of chemistry
Proposed cuts include 34 positions from liberal
arts and sciences, six from business administra
tion, 4.5 from engineering, two from fine and [>er
forming arts, 15 from social work. 3.5 from urban
and public affairs, four from the dance program. 10
from various centers and institutes and tt from
administration
The cuts are based on Cm Barbara Robert's pro
posed budget, which calls for whittling I’St-'s
instructional budget from about $141 million for
1001-03 to alHiut $135 million for 1003-05
