Sonoma State Administrators Announce Layoffs, Department Closures and Mergers

In a move that will devastate student recruitment, retention, learning, and success, Sonoma State management announced this week deep cuts to faculty, staff, and instructional and support programs. This decimation of a CSU Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) is unconscionable and immoral in every way one might imagine it, especially in a CSU system with billions of dollars in reserves and investments that are supposed to be used to prevent the very actions taken by the Sonoma State University Administration, where an entire campus and its academic and educational mission are left unrecognizable.
