Firings from Backbone Departments

Today, October 29, 2025, Xavier announced firings from departments that uphold the mission of the school. From the Office of Social Justice to CAMPUS MINISTRY, people were let go due to budget cuts, yet racist, mean spirited professors are still here. How can you claim to prepare students to mold a more just and humane society when you're firing the people who help to form students into these leaders. We deserve better.

Brown University to lay off 48 employees and eliminate 55 vacant roles

Brown University is laying off 48 employees and eliminating 55 vacant positions as part of a broader effort to shave $30 million off its budget, top leaders at the Ivy League institution announced Monday.

In August, the university blamed its financial challenges on recent federal policy changes, including an expected decline in research funding from the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Energy and other agencies. Prior to that, leaders warned that “significant cost-cutting” measures would be needed.

Northeastern University Layoffs 2025

During the last week of August 2025, Senior Leadership instructed all departments to eliminate 5% of their workforce due to financial concerns with the decrease of enrollment. It seems that the individuals chosen were at random. Individuals were laid off effective immediately and were not given any prior notice. Individuals were required to turn over any and all University-owned technology. The University deactivated all individual's accounts within 24 hours. The University offered "severance" to some individuals.

Rosenbury confronts layoffs and other issues

Nineteen months later, tensions between Rosenbury and the Barnard community have reached a boiling point. Despite hailing efforts from her administration—like the completed renovation of the Francine A. LeFrak Foundation Center for Well-Being and the implementation of a long-overdue maternity leave policy—Rosenbury has also seen a tenure marred by suspensions and expulsions of student protesters, layoffs of 77 full-time staff members, and the faculty vote of no confidence she received in April 2024, the first in Barnard’s history.
