Prompt action on this front is pivotal because starting this process allows departments affected by layoffs to immediately begin hiring part-time faculty in order to meet student demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chancellor Martin, however, has failed to act quickly to add courses and faculty, and this is fueling a growing waitlist crisis at City College, with thousands of students waiting for seats in English, Construction, Business, &amp; so much more. As the union of City College\u2019s instructors, counselors, and librarians, we called on our Board of Trustees to take urgent action to hold the Chancellor accountable<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chancellor Martin&#8217;s mismanagement of our schedule left thousands of students locked out of class last year, and now the problem stands to get worse. City College has the resources right now to meet student demand, and it is imperative that our leaders add the classes and faculty necessary to do so.
