Students, Faculty at Northern Kentucky Protest Cuts - Grace Bird, Inside Higher Ed

Faculty members and students at Northern Kentucky University protested the state government’s planned cuts to public education Thursday, according to WCPO. The rally was held "to bring about awareness regarding the effects of budget cuts, pension increases, loss of faculty/staff, altering/eliminating tenure, etc., and how this will impact our students," according to a social media posting about the event. The protest was held amid threats to dozens of faculty jobs. Late last month, 47 professors in arts and sciences, 15 in informatics and 16 in education, among others, received letters saying they might lose their positions next year, according to the student newspaper, The Northerner. https://www.insidehighered.com/quicktakes/2018/04/13/students-faculty-northern-kentucky-protest-cuts
