Portland State University has finalized its layoff plan, reducing the number of affected faculty and academic staff. The university will now eliminate 36 positions, a decrease from the previously announced 52. These cuts are part of a larger strategy to address a significant budget shortfall. While some positions were spared due to retirements and resignations, union leaders remain concerned about the university's long-term financial sustainability. The affected employees will continue working until their respective end dates in 2026 or 2027.
