"I can do my job so much better if I didn't have to worry about being rehired year after year, affording my rent each month, and being compensated for my labor. The Penn State administration is failing its employees and therefore failing its students. What quality of education are students receiving when faculty." - Emily Meneghin, Lecturer of Italian, University Park

"I feel what's lost in the current budget model is high quality education for students. Our best students want the flexibility to take exciting courses across the university to expand their minds in more than just one field. Instead of competing for students, we should work together for high quality education." - Nathaniel Warner, Associate Professor of Environmental Engineering, University Park
