Support Manhattan College's School of Liberal Arts and the Rights of Tenured Faculty
The Issue
It has come to our attention that Manhattan College, under the current administration of President Milo Riverso, is planning on implementing a number of changes that would negatively impact Manhattan College’s first and oldest school, the School of Liberal Arts. In addition to previously announced decisions like school mergers and the cancellation of classes that do not adhere to new capacity requirements , Riverso’s administration plans to eliminate a number of tenured faculty according to a “last in first out” system, a policy that disproportionately affects women and faculty of color and denies all tenured faculty the promise of job security that they worked so hard to achieve.
We encourage alumni, current students, faculty, staff, and friends of Manhattan College to sign and share this petition objecting to the elimination of tenured faculty. In addition, we ask that you write directly to the parties listed below and voice your support for Manhattan College’s School of Liberal Arts and its faculty—individuals who engage in the Lasallian mission of nurturing the personal and professional successes of their students every day.
