Several Lincoln University faculty members to lose jobs

     (AP) – Lincoln University in Jefferson City says several
faculty members will be out of jobs by the end of the school year.
     University president Kevin Rome tells the Jefferson City News-Tribune that
the layoffs are a part of program eliminations. It is unclear how many teachers
are being laid off.
     Lincoln University officials decided in July to decertify the school's history
degree and cancel two music degrees as well as a two-year early education
degree.
     That decision was based on low graduation numbers over the last five years,
prospective students' low demand for a program and low regional or national
career demands for the program.
     Some faculty members challenged the statistics behind those program
eliminations.
