Ashland University cutting tenured faculty - Courtney Day, Mansfield News Journal

About 20 Ashland University faculty members, including several with tenure, were notified last week that their jobs will be eliminated. University President Carlos Campo said the exact number of positions to be eliminated in a $3 million restructuring of academic programs has not been finalized. “It could be as few as 15, or it could be 25 when all is said and done,” Campo said. That range includes tenured, tenure-track and non-tenured faculty members in all four of the university’s colleges being non-renewed.In accordance with a faculty agreement, tenured faculty whose positions are eliminated will be able to stay on for three semesters and non-renewed tenure-track faculty can continue at the university for two semesters. http://www.mansfieldnewsjournal.com/story/news/local/2015/08/19/ashland-university-cutting-tenured-faculty/32027733/
