WSU president to recommend layoff of 113 faculty members
By London Bishop - lbishop@aimmediamidwest.com
FAIRBORN Wright State University President Sue Edwards is expected to recommend layoffs of more than 100 faculty members, according to a letter she wrote to the Board of Trustees.
The letter, dated Feb. 15, recommends that the board eliminate 113 faculty positions and approve the formal retrenchment of the same. The university cited declining enrollment and financial hardships exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic as reasons for the layoffs.
The university had previously announced its plans to begin layoffs in November, following the regulations of the collective bargaining agreement between the university and the AAUP-WSU. Per this agreement, the university came up with a plan that identified the positions recommended for elimination and the total number of jobs cut.
Wright State names Oliver Evans interim provost
FAIRBORN Oliver H. Evans, who has more than 30 years of administrative experience in higher education, has agreed to serve as interim provost of Wright State University, effective Feb. 22.
He will replace interim Provost Douglas Leaman, who will leave Wright State effective Feb. 21 to serve as dean of the College of Sciences at Auburn University at Montgomery.
Given the short timeframe, coupled with the current workload within the Office of Provost, President Sue Edwards said she felt it was necessary to utilize the Registry for College and University Presidents to find an individual with extensive experience as a provost, and in this case, a president, to assist the university in the interim period.
