Portland State University is slashing nearly 40 jobs and eliminating two academic departments to close a $35 million budget gap, sparking backlash from faculty who call it short-sighted. President Anne Cudd insists the cuts are essential for student success and long-term financial health, while the union argues for strategic growth over austerity. Affected staff have 15 days to appeal layoffs, and Cudd maintains the moves prioritize student outcomes and career readiness.
