Re: Adjunct/Term Faculty
Bethke: "The university can terminate the contract (for professors), but it& #39;s not something we intend to do. If fall enrollment goes down and the need for cost production arises, then that will be an option. This is the worst case scenario." [2/?]

President Esteban answered by saying he released a statement two-three weeks ago on Newsline that all DePaul faculty, students and staff should& #39;ve received. [4/?]
Students, especially those of Asian-American roots, were advised to report if there has been a case of racial misconduct against them. Administrators suggested for students to seek campus sources such as the Office of Multicultural Student Success and the APIDA Center. [5/?]
Ghanem: "I wish everybody a happy Easter, there& #39;s also Passover… and Ramadan is coming up."
Ghanem advises students to unplug during this three-day weekend and show support to one another by being kind. [6/?]
