Pros
The employees who have been at the institution for many years are the backbone of the college. Second to none in the area on online Higher Learning.
Cons
Where to begin? 1) The new Provost is antagonistic towards the employees. Ethics complaints were lodged against him and those who brought them forward were summarily dismissed from the college. Anyone who opposes his in any way or dares to question him are targeted for dismissal. 2) Since January of 2022, there have been over 100 people who have left/let go from the top levels of management through the lowest levels. The toxicity is sapping the energy of the employees and there is no level of caring from upper management. Morale is at its lowest level ever. 3) Top management all live in the Midwest or West Coast with no legitimate ties to the Capital Region. Their communication is full of half-truths that everyone sees through. How they handled the recent reshuffle should be a Masters class on how NOT to conduct business. 4) They will never be a top employer in the Capital Region as long as the current leadership is in place.
