Parkland College Is Looking At Letting Go Of Non-Tenured Faculty - EM NGUYEN, Fox Illinois

After a year without a full appropriation from the state, Parkland College is considering faculty layoffs. Friday the college sent out an email to their faculty and staff that said the fight to stay afloat is becoming more difficult, and they are recommending that some non-tenured faculty will be let go. The email said: "This is clearly not sustainable...we have made the decision to not renew the contracts of several faculty members that are not tenured. These faculty are outstanding, excellent teachers and colleagues." http://foxillinois.com/news/local/parkland-college-is-looking-at-letting-go-of-non-tenured-faculty
