This is New Jersey university is laying off 30 professors, eliminating 37% of academic programs
New Jersey City University on Wednesday, Dec. 14, 2022. Cash-strapped New Jersey City University is taking a sharpened axe to its list of academic programs and roster of professors, The Jersey Journal has learned.
“Our current financial crisis has made clear that the breadth of our current academic portfolio is no longer tenable for the size of an institution we need to be; and the low enrollment in many courses can be linked to students’ inability to complete their degrees in a timely manner,” Scott said in a press release.
Breault pointed out that the university’s academic portfolio was 13% larger than Rowan University and contains 47% more programs than Rutgers-Newark “even though they have nearly 2,500 more students enrolled.” Several programs were previously scheduled for closure in the 2023-24 academic year, according to the press release. The programs eliminated include numerous science degrees from Environmental Science, Physics, Biology and also Early Childhood and Elementary teaching degrees.
President of the teacher’s union, Barbara Hildner, said the faculty and staff being laid off are part of an academic team that guided the students and university through the COVID-19 pandemic. She said the university would have shut down without them. Laid-off professors will be notified that their position will be eliminated on June 28, 2023. The university will also not renew contracts of up to 19 non-tenured faculty, who are appointed annually, and professional staff for the 2023-24 school year.
