#002: Hiring Freezes Over

from The Weekly Hosted by WOBC News Presents: The Weekly

For academic departments looking to hire new faculty, each year normally begins with submissions of requests to a subcommittee of the General Faculty Council — except that didn’t happen in 2017, as in the wake of financial pressures, the College implemented a hiring freeze. Oberlin Review News Editor Sydney Allen joins Managing Editor Daniel Markus and host Johan Cavert to discuss the freeze’s rationale, how long it’s likely to last, and effects on students and other faculty as the college navigates uncertain financial waters.
