Will the faculty all quit before they are fired. I would hope you would stay so that the students could still graduate on time. However, I will understand you some do quit since that's what I would do in your case.

Unfortunately it is possible that there will not be faculty to teach courses in the 2006-2007 academic year. The dean has said bluntly that we all need to consider our "personal career."

The problems are deeper than obvious. Some facultu have lost their homes. Buying a new house knowing that you don't have a job in a year is not prudent. Rental properties are at a premium.

If a faculty member has a good opportuity, it would be crazy to turn it down. Good jobs are NOT a dime a dozen.

I wish I could tell you what to expect, but no one knows.
