Administrators at Minnesota State
University in Mankato have proposed eliminating the school's
aviation, computer science, undergraduate music programs and others
as they look to a likely $6 million to $10 million deficit in 2012.
      

That means the need to cut faculty. Campus officials encouraged
voluntary retirements last year, but the 20 faculty members who
signed up fell far short of the administration's hopes for 60.
      

The programs targeted for elimination are low on students and
credit hours. But their backers will still have the chance to make
a case for them.
      

Other programs targeted for elimination include undergraduate
journalism and food science technology, as well as graduate
programs in physics, environmental science and two math programs.
