Recent faculty cuts leave Simpson community on edge - Kayla Reusche, the Simpsonian

Simpson College reduced 25 faculty positions over the past two semesters, leaving many concerned about the college’s academic vitality.The series of reductions began last year in May, when the college began the process of a program prioritization. This process was a review of all academic and nonacademic programs to determine which positions and departments to cut. The board of trustees approved the process in May 2017, according to President Jay Simmons. The administration spent the following year gathering data, communicating with departments about how their area relates to the college’s mission and deliberating. https://thesimpsonian.com/28199/news/heres-what-you-need-to-know-about-the-cuts-at-simpson-college/
