Daily Bruin: Humanities lecturers await departmental decisions after receiving layoff notices last June
From the June 2 Daily Bruin:
One of the recipients of a layoff notice is Larry Grobel, who has lectured at UCLA for 10 years. Grobel has taught upper-division classes for the English department along with small-sized honors collegium seminars.
“I have had grandparents call me and tell me their grandchild is going to college now and that they are telling them to go to UCLA so they can study from my classes,” said Grobel. “I said, ‘Don’t send them here if that’s the reason, because I don’t think I will be here next year.’”
He is awaiting final decision from the English department, with hopes that his layoff notice will be rescinded.
