Is The University Of Oregon About To Lay Off 75 Faculty Members? - Jim Ferretti, KXL

A labor union representing University of Oregon employees says the school is considering a plan to lay off 75 nontenured faculty members. The Register-Guard reports that United Academics says the reductions will affect employees of the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Education and other university units. The plans come as UO faces an $8.8 million gap in next year’s budget caused largely by rising pay and retirement benefits. http://www.kxl.com/university-oregon-lay-off-75-faculty-members/
