What Counts as a Fiscal Emergency?
Basically this is transcribed from faculty union talking points. It's fine, they want to be seen as trying to fight for members' jobs. That is their job. But effectively they will propose we sell off the Old Queens campus to generate payroll funds before they concede the contract clause allowing for cuts to tenured professors.

They can’t have it both ways. If they insist on closing the university in the name of safety. Then those are the consequences. If Rutgers was more like their big10 peers and opened partially there would have been less people laid off.
It’s just the cost of being extra cautious and those laid off should understand it was for their own good.
