"Those affected have been notified, and we are providing support during this transition."
"We are deeply grateful for their contributions, and for your dedication and resilience as we weather these very challenging times in higher education."
"Faculty have been hit by significant course cancellations due to low enrollment and budget shortfalls,"
"Losing a class is not the same as being fired, but it represents a direct loss of wages, benefits and stability, with no guarantee of being able to teach the course again in the future."
SVA in Manhattan laid off approximately 30 employees citing financial challenges. Layoffs occurred across departments including library, undergraduate, graduate, and support staff, and led to course cancellations and budget restrictions. Student enrollment dropped to 3,812 in 2024 from 4,016 the previous year. About 1,200 instructors had recently unionized with the United Auto Workers. Faculty have lost wages and benefits when classes were canceled, creating instability and uncertainty about future teaching opportunities. The institution notified affected employees and offered transition support while expressing gratitude for staff contributions amid higher-education financial strains.
