As Lockout Continues at Long Island U., Students Report Meager Classroom Instruction

When Kiyonda Hester started the final year of her master’s program in social work, on Wednesday at Long Island University’s Brooklyn campus, an instructor began a course by acknowledging he was unqualified to teach it.  Ms. Hester is one of many students on the Brooklyn campus who have reported bare-bones classrooms after the New York university locked out 236 full-time faculty members and 450 adjuncts, all members of the Long Island University Faculty Federation, after their contracts expired, on August 31.  And on Thursday the lockout dragged on.
