Faculty who develop and lead programs and teach the students are the backbone of any unievrsity. There is no reason fro students to enroll if there aren't a sufficient number of dedicated, knowledgeable professors. Rescind the faculty cuts and invest in the future of Marywood.

Thanks for all the support for Marywood faculty and students. We need all the help we can get as the administration has shown no respect for basic values (e.g., if you hire someone in good faith in one year you should not just change your mind and take away the position in the next year for faculty without cause in terms of the faculty performance on their jobs). Our first year faculty acted in good faith to come to Marywood and hopefully the current administration or the new administration will also act in good faith. The first year faculty who were fired have shown great fidelity to Marywood core values; we should expect nothing less from senior administration and the Board of Trustees.

Bolster brains vs beautiful buildings in budgets. I vote for faculty brains who made life changes to join your community. This will lead to student brainpower that will "lead on."

It's understandable that colleges sometimes have to make cuts in the number of professors or staff to reflect enrollments or budgets. However, there is an appropriate process to go through and it does not sound like that was followed.

It's wonderful to see the students, parents, faculty and community rally in support of those professors who have been terminated without justification.

Tenure means that one cannot be cut without good cause and due process. And there must be involvement of other faculty in the process.

Why is an outgoing President able to make such hasty cuts? If enrollment is down and money is tight removing the teacher's is not the answer! Encourage growth of enrollment by improving not removing. .

The longer I go to this school, the more I wonder why I choose it. There has been nothing but issues within the school itself since I've been enrolled.
