That's a pretty drastic drop in enrollment! It's hard to see how they could not be forced to make some major layoffs and reductions in programs after that. I suppose that's another case of a compass-point institution taking the brunt of a demographic decline in enrollment.
Out of curiosity, what do they mean by "Unit-A" and "Unit-B?" Is it faculty vs. admin, or tenured faculty vs. adjunct?
Quote from: Parasaurolophus on July 23, 2024, 11:31:29 AMThanks! The only hitch is having to move into it at the start of winter which, even though it's mild here, is non-ideal. There will absolutely be power outages, for up to a week at a time. We're experienced campers, so not too daunted, but it's bound to be a trial.
