Join us as we explore the unique factors that come into play within student affairs as it pertains to lay-offs, including fluctuating enrollment numbers, campus closure or consolidation trends, and the impact of anti-diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) legislation. By shedding light on the challenges and uncertainties that professionals in student affairs face during times of lay-offs and exploring strategies for resilience and adaptation in response to these evolving circumstances, we hope to create a space for SAPros to feel more informed, equipped, and supported to navigate the challenging landscape of being laid off.
