Faculty at the University of Vermont orchestrated a rally last Thursday to protest the administration’s decision to cut several courses from the College of Arts and Sciences’ roster last fall. More recently, plans were announced to reduce the number of full- and part-time lecturers on staff. United Academics, the union representing UVM faculty criticized the greater emphasis on marketing and expensive physical infrastructure the university is making while sacrificing academic quality.
