Investigation at SUNY Albany
An AAUP committee will investigate the decision of administrators at SUNY Albany to discontinue four foreign-language degree programs plus the theater arts program in the College of Arts and Sciences at SUNY, Albany and to notify some twenty affected faculty members, fourteen of them with tenure, that their appointments will be terminated within the next two years, once these degree programs have been closed. See a letter announcing the investigation and laying out the concerns that prompted it. (2/16/11)
