      With the new president of the recently in place, I'm hoping to see some positive changes at IC.

      I have been working at Ithaca College full-time

      Pros

      Not many pros--the school has been in chaos for years, and it is unlikely to improve based on resources and environment.

      Cons

      Admin weighs down junior tenure track faculty with service that would never occur at other schools. No thought to retention of faculty. Lots of assessment of campus climate, but no actionable plans to improve faculty atmosphere. Application drop means more under prepared students admitted and lots of exceptions to standard academic integrity. Accepting unethical behavior or cheating to avoid a call from a parent or a transfer to another school is not a good policy.

      Advice to Management

      This is an educational institution, not a concierge service. Improve academic rigor and reinforce academic integrity. Support and nurture faculty who can deliver transformative experiences--don't put them into political committees that could be detrimental at T&P time.
