Drowning in Debt and Deceit

Pros

Faculty and staff are very committed to their students.

Cons

The school's administration habitually disregards the importance of faculty, and is highly overpaid. The school cannot survive much longer with its ever-increasing deficits, currently $1.4 million. In order to address the deficit, more and more students who are not academically ready for college are admitted to the school, causing yet more burdens for faculty and supporting staff, who, in turn, receive no raises yet are expected to work harder and longer. Yet, administrators' salaries and bonuses keep rising. What's wrong with this picture?

Pros and Cons of working at Hamline University

Pros

The staff, faculty, and students at Hamline are collegial and motivated. I enjoyed my time at Hamline immensely. My job was eliminated in 2012 during a period of financial instability at the institution.

Cons

The administration did not seem interested in ensuring that the institution's infrastructure was adequate given student needs. The institution also has a history of financial instability.

Pros

New President Dr. Fayneese Miller starting fall 2015; strong sense of community; a campus of dialogue; service and leadership; new undergraduate admission directors started in 2014 and are effectively building relationships on campus

Cons

Over the last 5-10 years, the university has sought out the quick fix for budget issues and also does not pay its staffers very well, which leads to short tenures for the dynamic leaders that do find their way here.
