Pros

Staff is amazing, very family driven, seems like a team within your department. Students are fun and seem to be interested in developing.

Cons

Administration is awful. There is no leadership currently. Board of Trustees is too involved with day to day decisions. Current President insulates himself from risk by not making any decisions and sending everything to some committee or outside consultant. Pay is horrendous. Do not take care of their own staff. Not a place to have a career. All executive administration is too concerned with patting each other on the back instead of improving their departments or sxhool. Lack support.

Pros

Really accomplished colleagues, faculty who want to see students succeed, and generally want to see everyone succeed. Clear guidelines for tenure, shared governance, faculty concerns committees with the ear of the President and Provost, students who like being here.

Cons

the same things you find everywhere exist here (slow bureaucratic change - sometimes due to so many faculty hands in every decision - there are tradeoffs), but as of 2025, the school is really on the rise, new leadership since 2023 is really pushing us toward innovation, to carve out our own niche to position us well into the next decade(s), and I'm convinced we'll be growing in all the right ways as a result. Salary compression just as at every school but doing compensation studies to address internal and external equity issues.
