www.daytondailynews.com/local/wright-state-faculty-union-approves-new-contract-with-university/5QFV4D3NDNHVRIUIZ4M2YZRONU/Good news from the financial side of things. The faculty union approved a new contract good until June 2026....Negotiations began in January 2023 and the faculty union voted on the final contract in December. Bobby Rubin, president of Wright State faculty union and a senior lecturer of English at WSU, said the final vote was 269 votes yes, out of 289 votes possible. “I would say that our members are happy with the new contract,” Rubin said. But he said faculty continue to be concerned because of continued cuts to higher education faculty and staff across the nation. In 2019, WSU faculty went on strike, and in 2021, the university invoked the retrenchment clause of the union contract, which allowed the university to make cuts to how many faculty were employed. Most of the faculty who left did so voluntarily, and only a handful of positions were ultimately cut. Rubin noted, however, that Wright State’s finances and enrollment are looking good.“We’re cautiously optimistic that we are in a good position here,” Rubin said. ...

Boy, the faculty union sure seems to a lot more optimistic about the administration and the school than a few years ago.

Their list says they are eliminating accounting? Did I read that right? That seems crazy to me considering that was a very good program I was in when I graduated, and it's one of the few specialties where college courses are literally required to obtain CPA certification.

You’re mistaken. The article says nothing of the sort.

That’s Masters of Accountancy, not the undergrad degree.

The MACC, Masters of Accountancy, was started maybe 15 years ago (probably longer ago than I think). At the time, the requirements for the CPA exam had changed, so that a BS in Accountancy did not give you enough Accounting credits to sit for the CPA exam. The MACC was offered specifically to give students the hours they needed to be able to sit for the exam, and to give them a better chance of passing it. Frankly, I'm surprised they've done away with it, because it was a very popular program at one point. It's possible that the exam requirements have changed again, and that it's no longer "necessary" from the standpoint of sitting for the CPA exam. After I got my BS in Accountancy and Finance, I opted for the MBA over the MACC because my job does not require CPA certification, but I spoke with a couple of family members who also have Accounting degrees from WSU and they were both surprised because the program was very popular among their peers. I'd be interested to see actual figures showing how that has changed over the years. My daughter-in-law who just turned 30 especially talked about how a lot of her classmates chose to enter that program, so it hasn't been that long ago that a lot of students were opting for the program.
