Change, v23 n6 p44-49 Nov-Dec 1991

The history of and issues in Oregon's retrenchment in higher education (resulting from voter-imposed taxing restrictions) are chronicled. Changes made at Portland State University are used to illustrate the program review and termination process occurring statewide. The higher education community's response, faculty and staff morale, and directions for the next biennium are discussed. (MSE)
