YOUNGSTOWN Youngstown State University’s faculty union is requesting that all decisions regarding academic program cuts or reductions be postponed until a comprehensive review of all divisions is conducted.
“The (Academic) Senate is right to ask for this. If the administration wants to make changes and possible cuts based on cost / benefit data, then all divisions of the university should be subject to the same processes,” Susan Clutter, president of the YSU-Ohio Education Association, said.
Clutter was referring to the main thrust of an April 30 letter the Academic Senate sent to the administration asking it to apply those same evaluation measures it’s using for the academic division to every facet of YSU.

YOUNGSTOWN Youngstown State University is looking to trim its ranks with a voluntary separation and retirement program.
In a special meeting this week, the university’s board of trustees approved a resolution to consider providing a voluntary separation and retirement program for full-time tenured faculty members who are close to retiring or possibly moving elsewhere, such as into the private sector. University officials stated in a news release the program was developed in collaboration with YSU-Ohio Education Association leadership.
Eligible faculty members will be given the opportunity to separate their employment from the university, and receive a retirement incentive.
Terms of the program will be finalized after the results of a vote by the YSU-OEA faculty today. The proposal will be voted on because it’s outside of the union’s contract, Mark Vopat, the YSU-OEA spokesman said.
