"The reductions include the laying off of upwards of 130 faculty (including tenured faculty, lecturers, Coaches and Faculty Early Retirement Program faculty); the elimination of 23 academic programs and six departments, and another seven departments would be consolidated to three. All NCAA Division II athletics programs would be eliminated. Impacted faculty have rights and should reach out to their chapter leaders for support.
With these cuts, the Sonoma State Administration is cutting the faculty by over 25%. Layoffs are set for May for temporary faculty and July for faculty on the tenure track."

"Weve seen this before and we wont fall for the administrations premature austerity nonsense. Current funding from the state legislature is at historical highs, CSU trustees approved a student-tuition increase of 34 percent over the next five years, and CSU reserves are some of the healthiest the university has experienced.
The proposed cuts, department and program eliminations, and faculty job loss are not inevitable. Chancellor Garcia and the Board of Trustees can reverse these changes and demonstrate a leadership that privileges students, instruction, academic and educational integrity."
