put on the whole process for no good reason. Can’t we build CUNY up, instead of throttling it with financial cuts and bureaucracy?” said Talia Schaffer, the co-executive officer of English at the Graduate Center
Queens College and Graduate Center English professor Talia Schaffer says CUNY’s top-down approach is “demoralizing.”Larissa Swedell, chair of the Queens College anthropology department, said the review board was slowing the hiring process for candidates and that “with each day that goes by, we lose high-quality candidates to other institutions.”
Michael Newman, chair of linguistics and communications disorders at Queens College, said if the university couldn’t hire professors, class size could grow or sections may be cut. “Our colleges and central offices are in the process of looking for cost-saving measures without cutting student services or compromising our academic offerings. It is not unusual in processes like this to encounter questions and concerns from faculty and students … This academic year, our class sizes dropped while our ranks of full-time faculty rose and we plan to continue on this trajectory in spite of budget challenges,” a CUNY spokesman said.
