On Monday, staff members delivered a petition with 150 signatures to Columbia President and CEO Kwang-Wu Kim, who is stepping down in July, imploring him to seek alternative budget strategies.
Striking members of the Columbia College Faculty Union picket in front of Columbia’s media production center on State Street, Nov. 30, 2023. The union representing professional staff members at Columbia College is urging their president to halt planned employee layoffs, as college leadership weighs cost-cutting measures in the face of budget woes.Professional staff numbers have been dwindling at Columbia for years, with currently only 275 staff employed in 2024.
“Additional cuts would only further damage our community and our collective efforts to support our mission,” said USofCC spokesperson Craig Sigele in an email Monday. “Reducing our staff would mean declining the support and services we can offer students, which isn’t fair to them. They deserve a college that’s fully equipped to support their success.”The college did not immediately respond to a request for comment Tuesday morning.

This means that a wealthy family with three children could expect to spend over $1 million by the time their youngest child completes a four-year degree. However, many colleges with large endowments have been focused on making college more affordable for lower-income students. Some lower-income families may only have to pay 10% of the advertised rate, making attending a selective private college cheaper than a state institution.
