With declining enrollment and further budget cuts impending, San Francisco State University will have professors teach in departments other than their own starting in the Fall 2025 semester. The idea of it has drawn mixed reactions from faculty.
SFSU is developing a system on campus where faculty who cannot fill their classes because of shrinking student enrollments are stepping up to teach in other departments that have robust ones but not enough tenure-track faculty to teach all of their students, according to Carleen Mandolfo, an associate provost.
“We need tenure-track faculty to be as fully employed as possible,” Mandolfo said. “They are our base faculty. We have a commitment to them and we pay them no matter what.”
