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.

In addition, it is going to be bad for quality."
