Brooklyn College faculty, staff push back against CUNY budget cuts, criticize leadership - CAYLA BAMBERGER, NY Daily News

Faculty and other staffers at Brooklyn College are pushing back against the latest round of budget cuts at the City University of New York, faulting the campus president for not deflecting the blow. At a union meeting last week, 59% percent of 207 people in attendance voted “no confidence” in President Michelle Anderson’s leadership, minutes show. Fewer than a quarter approved of her job performance. The group represented a small share of the more than 1,000-member faculty union chapter — and significant discontent during a period of intense belt-tightening on campus.
