Over 60 faculty and staff gathered on Monday to express concerns about the direction of U of L’s College of Arts and Sciences.
The meeting, which focused on faculty sharing concerns, was led by Ricky Jones, chair of the Pan-African Studies department, who last week criticized A&S administration.
The group agreed to send out surveys to faculty and staff to get feedback on options for a next step.
“I’m sad that we have to be here,” said Jones. “It’s amazing to me how many people, just to come to a meeting, are absolutley frightened.”
According to Jones, he has not heard back from any upper level administration.
