Dr. Rick Bailey, president of 91ÊÓƵ, explains that the university’s declaration of financial exigency may sound alarming, but it’s actually a proactive and collaborative step taken in partnership with the faculty union. He emphasizes that 91ÊÓƵ is not closing, not declaring bankruptcy, and remains fully operational. Instead, this decision is part of a broader, strategic transformation to safeguard the university’s future and protect students. By embracing this process openly and constructively, 91ÊÓƵ is working to ensure long-term stability, resilience, and continued service to its community.
