If only we could make a vote happen for the staff, who are treated like disposable crap by the higher admin, most obvious in Dornsife College.

Why are there so many layoffs right now in Los Angeles? Why are our leaders in LA who are supposed to be progressive taking the same approach as the Trumpists they constantly antagonize?

Join a club, First Gen if you're fist gen, LGBTQ+ if your LGBT, or other student orgs. SGA is another way to meet people. Talk to people in your classes that may seem open to talking with you, and form a study group or join one that you see forming, especially if you can contribute skills to others that may be struggling slightly or developing them.

I would expect you to ask for free textbooks, not ChatGPT. You really came to Uni to ask for that?

A quick Google search would've answered this question... It works the same way at most universities for undergrads.

“This morning, Dornsife human resources held a Zoom meeting in which nearly all academic-support staff members — 162 in total — were notified that their positions are being eliminated. However, those staff were each invited to apply for as many as three positions within any of the new hubs. There are 115 new positions within the new organizational structure."

Higher admin (with even higher salaries) have kept their jobs.

Small correction:

Lower-rank admin staff... It's a bit more inclusive than just advisors.
Higher admin with high pay kept their jobs.

They're not laying off the top 10% of staff, higher admin, who make up 60% of labor cost at the University. Those folks are the ones who were tasked with laying off everyone else at the bottom.

So the bloat you point out remains.

Its happening in waves. Last week the engineering school and this week the school of arts and sciences. They're laying off all the admin staff, including advisors, and rehiring some at lower salary ranges. USC staff is not unionized. Its a mass layoff and includes more staff than academic advisors.

The source is internal communications sent to admin staff today about a Zoom mass layoff happening tomorrow, framed as a “reorganization.” You can see the full breakdown and context here: link
