Media Outreach Campaign
To remain true to its historical commitments, The New School needs to dispense with corporate models that cut to the bone, and begin listening to those who make the institution, against all odds, a place of humane, progressive education.
AAUP-TNS stands in solidarity stands in solidarity with the 122 workers, representing 13% of university staff, who were laid off by The New School on October 2, 2020. The cuts represent less than 2% of the purported $130 million shortfall. This is not about securing a future for The New School, but a struggle over power and the kind of university The New School will be in the future!
AAUP-TNS has been doing research on the firm that was hired by The New School in its ongoing “reimagining” project. Consult our fact sheet.
