On September 5, 2025, we filed, with the assistance of our parent union NYSUT’s office of general counsel, an appeal with the Appellate Division, continuing our legal challenge against the college administration’s elimination of 15 department chairperson positions.  Our appeal challenges the college’s elimination of department chairpersons with specialized expertise in their fields who provided crucial academic leadership and student support.
