BGSU cuts more faculty

The faculty union is promising to challenge the Bowling Green State University's decision not to renew the contracts of 30 non-tenure track positions.
The university made the announcement of the cuts Monday in a letter to faculty.
Provost Rodney Rogers said Monday that the cuts will save the university $1.4 million. The bulk, 26, will come from the College of Arts and Sciences, with two coming from the College of Business and single cuts from the College of Education and Firelands College. Rogers said the cuts were spread out among the college's various departments.
The university was required to notify non-tenure track faculty who have seven or more years at BGSU by Dec. 1, with later deadlines for those with less service. However, all 30 faculty members were notified now. Rogers said eight people had seven or more years of experience, nine had four to six years of experience, and 13 had three or fewer years of experience.
