On January 18, 2023, Utica University’s outgoing president, Laura Casamento, and the outgoing Board of Trustees Chair, Bob Brvenik, announced their recommendation to eliminate 15 majors as well as their recommendation that 8 more majors and 1 program be revised or else perhaps risk being eliminated.

The faculty, students, staff, alumni, and larger Utica University community are not only justifiably angry about this announcement and these cuts, but also very upset with the entire process that has undermined and alienated several University constituencies from the start.

These short-sighted decisions will have (and have already had) negative impacts faculty and students, but what is even more concerning are the long-term detrimental impacts these decisions will have on the institution itself.
