BEIRUT (AP) One of the Arab world’s oldest and most prestigious universities, which endured civil war, kidnappings and various economic crises, is preparing for what may be the biggest challenge in its 154-year history. The American University of Beirut is confronting a global pandemic, a severe recession and the collapse of Lebanon’s currency all at the same time and is planning a series of sweeping layoffs and salary cuts in response. AUB president Fadlo Khuri said the school, whose graduates have risen to be leaders and scholars in the Arab world, will lay off up to 25% of its workforce, close administrative departments and shelve an ambitious project for a major new medical center.
