UNCG Dean and Department Head Resign in Protest of Program Cuts

Charles Bolton, associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at UNCG, resigned in protest of the lack of transparency and "egregious behavior" by the administration in the process of identifying programs to be cut at the university. Bolton condemned the addition of programs to the list of possible cuts, alleging it was a heavy-handed decision made by one individual, Provost Storrs, in an unfair and nontransparent manner. The faculty senate and campus community have also objected to the process, with public forums seeing resistance to the cuts and highlighting of errors. UNCG Chancellor Frank Gilliam will make final decisions about program eliminations on February 1, after receiving final recommendations from Storrs.

Elise Stefanik, have also called for Austin's resignation, the White House has expressed complete confidence in the secretary, and the Pentagon has stated that there are no plans for him to step down.
