Balancing the number of faculty and students

posted Feb 11, 2014 at 3:25 PM

Enrollment at law schools around the country has been dropping over the last few years, and Albany Law is no exception. One of the ways it's attempting to adjust: offering buyouts to tenured and long-term contract faculty. The shifting situation has prompted faculty to form an ALS chapter of American Association of University Professors -- and some contention over what the school's financial condition is, and what should/could/can be done about it.

The decrease in enrollment is not a bad thing. The market is saturated with attorneys and frankly the schools are irresponsible enrolling as many students as they do knowing dang well there are no jobs.

Half of the graduating pharmacy students next door don't have jobs. They have doubled the number of graduates because they are too greedy.

For a decade All Over Albany was a place for interested and interesting people in New York's Capital Region. It was kind of like having a smart, savvy friend who could help you find out what's up. AOA stopped publishing at the end of 2018.
