Southern Oregon University has revised its Vitality Plan, reinstating two academic majors previously slated for elimination. This adjustment comes after significant feedback from faculty and stakeholders. The university's overall goal of cutting over $20 million to address its financial crisis remains largely unchanged. The number of planned employee layoffs has also been slightly reduced. Performance benchmarks have been added for several academic programs.
