Two University of Akron faculty members who were among several dozen laid off early in the pandemic two years ago have won back their jobs. The UA Board of Trustees on Wednesday agreed to reinstate dance professor Robin Pritchard and engineering professor Sue Ramlo. The board's decision follows a ruling by two independent arbitrators, who sided with the faculty union and called the reasons given for the Prichard's and Ramlo's layoffs "mistaken" or "questionable at best."
