Teachers College faculty vote not to support proposed 2013-14 budget - CECILIA REYES, Columbia Spectator

The Teachers College faculty rejected the 2013-14 budget proposed by the college's administration Thursday, in a strong rebuke to TC President Susan Fuhrman's management of the perennially cash-strapped school. Nearly all of the 103 TC professors who attended a faculty meeting Thursday voted to express their disapproval of the budget. Of the faculty that voted, 101 voted in favor of a resolution to reject the proposed budged, one voted in opposition of the resolution, and one abstained from voting. The vote came after TC's Faculty Executive Committee discovered that top administrators have been giving themselves bonuses from the college's 2011-12 budget surplus. "The faculty are extremely concerned that recent decisions about the distribution of our institutional resources do not reflect the central mission of Teachers College," the resolution read. http://www.columbiaspectator.com/2013/05/10/teachers-college-faculty-vote-not-support-proposed-2013-14-budget
