Staff Issues

Rutgers University’s first faculty strike in its 257-year history, combined with workers at yet another Illinois university walking out, grows the current strike wave. 

Recruiting and retention challenges are hitting colleges, according to numerous panels at the National Association of College and University Business Officers conference.

Colleges employed 4 percent fewer people in fall 2020 than they did pre-pandemic, U.S. data show. Community colleges, service workers and part-time employees suffered disproportionately.

New global survey of those in positions of influence finds that 44 percent have a degree in social sciences. Another 11 percent studied humanities.

Proposed policy at Florida Gulf Coast U. raises question of what a university is entitled to track about every professor.
