(AP) — Pacific Lutheran University will cut three dozen full-time positions to stabilize its budget after a months-long review by faculty of potential reductions. The cuts will eliminate majors in German and Nordic Studies, minors in Classical Studies, German and Norwegian, and the Master of Science in Finance degree, The News Tribune in Tacoma reported. "While difficult, this work is an essential step in our strategic plan, and will allow PLU to remain true to its mission,” president Allan Belton said in a statement.
