William Paterson University of New Jersey could cut up to 26 percent of its full-time faculty positions in the face of a $20 million deficit for the upcoming 2021-22 academic year, according to a faculty union leader. The public university is weighing the elimination of 60 to 100 faculty positions and 10 academic programs, NJ.com reported. Its faculty union is negotiating to avoid layoffs, but the union president, Sue Tardi, said administrators have yet to share which academic programs would be cut.
