Portland State University issued layoff notices to 17 members of its non-tenure track faculty on Friday.
Most non-tenure track faculty is teaching faculty, meaning members don’t typically engage in research. Affected faculty members will lose their jobs on June 15, 2025.
The layoffs come as PSU faces an $18 million budget deficit in the upcoming fiscal year, caused in part by consistently declining enrollment at the university.
