Budget Cut Means Staffing Changes at Burlington College - Matt Austin, My Champlain Valley


Some students at Burlington College say they're concerned about staffing changes. The college says it needed to cut costs and that resulted in several long-time faculty members leaving. Students say they were caught off guard by the restructuring. They decided to dissolve student government and instead, formed a student union to fight back. "I just really think that the administration is not really acting in either the best interest of the students or its faculty members that have done such good, hard work for the school over the years," says Athena Pepe, Burlington College student. The college says the changes, which will save about $200,000 a year, were needed. They say all courses will still be offered and will be taught by experienced staff   http://www.mychamplainvalley.com/story/budget-cut-means-staffing-changes-at-burlington-co/d/story/8JkMeHrU50uf-bBH_5VLlQ
