Three weeks into the fall term, nearly 100 non-tenure track faculty at Portland State received layoff notices, highlighting the urgency of staffing challenges faced by universities.
The majority of layoff notices are expected to be sent out by the end of today, as PSU aims to comply with the faculty contract's 60-day notice requirement.
The union anticipates that dozens more notifications will follow, reflecting ongoing uncertainties in academia regarding job security and funding for non-tenured positions.
The timeline for layoff notices is guided by a faculty contract stipulation, requiring notifications six months before a member's official termination to adhere to labor agreements.
