Gslisadjuncts Immediate budget cuts
by colleen cool 30 Nov '16

30 Nov '16

Dear faculty, The department chairs have just been informed by Dean Wolfe that "the college learned last week that it faces a new backpay obligation to the engineers which will require immediate cuts in our Temp, Adjunct, and OTPS accounts." Budget cuts in these areas will have a significant impact on GSLIS spring teaching schedules, as courses with very low enrollment will need to be cancelled and in some cases full time faculty may be reassigned to cover courses previously assigned to adjuncts. KB and I will meet with Dean Wolfe tomorrow to make the best case for preserving as much of the GSLIS budget as is possible and KB will follow up with you individually to discuss any needed changes to your spring 2017 schedule. Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation during this unexpected crisis situation. My best, Colleen -- Colleen Cool, Ph.D. Professor and Chair (Sabbatical until September 2017) Graduate School of Library & Information Studies Queens College, City University of New York Flushing, N.Y. 11367 Phone: 718 997-3790 email: ccool(a)qc.edu; colleen.cool(a)gmail.com
