Supporters urge East Stroudsburg University to keep music programs after layoffs announced - Christina Tatu, Pocono Record

The normally quiet East Stroudsburg University Council of Trustees meeting was standing room only Wednesday as students, faculty and alumni implored university officials to keep the school's music programming. The school's two remaining tenured music professors were notified last week their jobs, as well as all music courses, the university's choral program and orchestra, will be eliminated in May. The music program was placed in moratorium last year and the faculty members who received layoff notices last week were part of that action, university officials have said. http://www.mcall.com/news/nationworld/pennsylvania/mc-pa-music-supporters-urge-esu-to-keep-programs-faculty-20141107-story.html
