In 2020, the Misericordia administration, first under Tom Botzman, and then under Kathy Owens, decided to make drastic cuts to staff, followed by cuts to faculty. In October 2020, the Board of Trustees suspended tenure decisions. The material under this heading, "2020 Faculty Cuts and Tenure Suspension at MU," is a record of those events and the MU AAUP Chapter's responses to them, set down as they happened. Special thanks to Beth Hass (Chemistry) for compiling this record.
