ITHACA — In the last two weeks we’ve heard from faculty affected, and those speaking out against the Academic Programming Prioritization process at Ithaca College, which is resulting in faculty and programs being cut from the school in the face of lower enrollment and financial challenges. Madolyn Laurine and Himadri Seth look more at what led them to that process, and what’s happening to many places of higher education right now in the face of the pandemic.

Originally aired as part of Ithaca Now on April 4, 2021.
