    University of Nebraska eyes eliminating 6 academic programs

    The University of Nebraska-Lincoln has proposed eliminating six academic programs as it works to address a $27.5 million budget shortfall by year’s end.
    Chancellor Rodney Bennett, on Friday, reaffirmed plans to consolidate additional academic programs, reduce administrative and staff positions, and implement a 1% spending cut across all state-aided campus budgets.
    If finalized by UNL and ultimately approved by the NU Board of Regents later this year, these are the six programs that will be axed and the number of faculty who will lose their jobs.
    * The Department of Educational Administration, potentially saving $1.95 million and resulting in the elimination of 17 full-time positions.

    * The Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, which would save $1.85 million and terminate 12 full-time positions.
    * The Department of Statistics, which would reduce UNL’s budget by $1.75 million and close 12 full-time positions.
    * The Department of Textiles, Merchandising, and Fashion Design, which would save $1.45 million and result in 11 full-time positions being cut.
    * The Department of Community and Regional Planning, saving $475,000 and resulting in the loss of four full-time positions.
    * The Department of Landscape Architecture, which would save $225,000 and eliminate two full-time positions.
