“There are a lot of austerity measures on campus,” said Bonnie Thorne, the CFA chapter president and a psychology professor. “There have been classes cut in some departments when students need those classes to graduate. We have lecturer faculty who are losing work, a reduction in travel funds for some that need to travel to present at conferences. Tenured faculty are typically expected to do research every year, especially if they want a tenure promotion. He continued with past discrepancies of equitable funding among faculty and administration, alluding to the CFA strikes and Coley’s pay raise.
