The Ithacan

Accuracy • Independence • Integrity

If students are Ithaca College’s “why,” then why are those same students being ignored and talked down to?

The only protection faculty at IC have against destructive top-down management decisions is to stand in solidarity with one another.

Ultimately, faculty members need to be commended for their work in altering their curricula. This demonstrates what makes the college special.

Students are saying that they want more communication and transparency regarding these faculty cuts. Students are also requesting basic information.

Clearly, this is something no one wants to see happen. Shared governance can be achieved. The college is just making it more difficult.

The campus community desperately wants to trust the administration while it is making drastic changes to the college.

When asked to clarify members of the SLT’s current salaries, Dave Maley, director of public relations, denied the request.

This election will affect students for years to come, and it is imperative that young adults vote if they want to have a say in their future.

Throughout the years, different groups have siloed themselves from one another on all levels. Students typically stay within their respective schools.

The administration is disingenuously making it seem like everything is under control and going according to plan.

Why must the college be called out in a public forum for it to recognize that campus is not a safe and inclusive space for all?

Only time will tell if the preparation faculty had over the summer for classes this fall will be worthwhile, but it must be a team effort.
