Loyola planning to cut, suspend 27 programs; 17 faculty to be let go

Expecting a budget shortfall of $9 million for the 2006-07 school year, Loyola administrators today proposed a major restructuring of the university.

The plan, to be formally presented at the Board of Trustees’ meeting on May 19, would suspend and eliminate 27 undergraduate and graduate programs beginning in the fall. Seventeen tenured and tenure-track faculty members would also be let go. Comments from university members – students and faculty – will be accepted until April 19 on Loyola’s Web site, according to a press release from the university.
