Colleges and universities are currently facing declining student numbers, leading to program closures and layoffs, creating an urgent need for faculty and staff to safeguard their careers.
During my time at a small Midwestern liberal arts college, layoffs and program cuts left faculty navigating an increasingly unstable work environment without necessary transparency from administration.
The signs of impending layoffs can be detected through hiring freezes and reduced promotions, often serving as precursors to deeper financial issues within an institution.
Understanding the signs of institutional instability can empower faculty and staff to prepare for potential employment disruptions and seek alternative career options.
