      Students and family were very 'needy' and did not pay attention to emails or policies, and were very aggressive when complaining

      Cons

      Workplace culture is awful. Mediocrity is not only tolerated, but promoted by a union-dominated culture and weak leaders. Innovation and excellence are discouraged, even punished. And there are few women leaders.

      Advice to Management

      Get serious about making this place what it once was - one of the best SUNY campuses. Stop driving away innovative and experienced leaders.
