Fighting Extreme Austerity Attacks at The New School

In this week's broadcast, AAUP National Council Member Chenjerai Kumanyika will discuss the rapidly escalating situation at The New School with three members of the AAUP chapter at The New School. Students, faculty, and staff of The New School rallied on December 10th in response to proposed budget cuts that would severely impact university personnel and programs. On Dec. 3, The New School administration offered "voluntary separation packages" to 169 full-time faculty and all non-unionized staff with over four years of service. Recipients have been given less than two weeks to opt-in to what is a life-changing decision at the most demanding point of the term. The New School administration has indicated that if an insufficient number of employees opt in, "involuntary separations," or mass layoffs, will ensue.
