Lebanon Valley College (LVC), located in Pennsylvania has announced that it will eliminate faculty positions and program majors after its board of trustees called for a $1.6 million cut to academic funding.
The cuts would discontinue French, German, philosophy and religion majors in addition to reorganizing other majors.
As part of the budget-cuts, LVS will offer retirement incentives and substitute several adjunct professors with full-time faculty in efforts to expand programs, like the health sciences.
The task force behind the board’s recommendations will create a final report to present to LVC’s faculty for a vote in November and to the full board of trustees in February, WGAL News 8 reported.
