What’s at stake for the city of Portland if its flagship university is strangled by budget cuts? Laurie Mercier speaks with Bill Knight, Associate Professor of English at Portland State University and president of the PSU American Association of University Professors (AAUP), about proposed dramatic cuts to academic programs and faculty positions. PSU-AAUP represents about 1200 instructional faculty at the university. 

For more about the administration's proposed cuts and how faculty have offered alternatives to grow and build a stronger PSU, so important to the city of Portland, see https://psuaaup.net/.
