Pros

University offers good funding for junior faculty for conference travel and innovative projects. Students are enthusiastic and respectful to the instructors. Staff has tremendous support from the Union. The university president and provost are wonderful people and passionately try to encourage pedagogical innovation.

Cons

The university is witnessing a sharp decline in the enrollments. Student body has reduced from 5500 in 2017 to about 3000 in 2022. It puts tremendous pressure on faculty members. Classes are cancelled due to low enrollment. Job safety and security are at stake. Also, some departments have toxic work environment forcing talented faculty to quit/leave their jobs.

Excellent sense of mission that is shared campus-wide.

Cons

None- truly a great place to work. The only con is that the state system office does not help and often hinders the work on campus.
