In reply to: Do You All Believe In Saint Steve Now? 's message, "Canisius faculty to hold protest on proposed $15M in cuts, low morale" on Thu, October 24 2024, 11:03:04

I will never understand why Canisius has not been able to better position itself as quality institution in the heart of a mid-size city. What I do understand are the multi-year deficits. Some colleges have simply closed, while others simply kick the can down the road. This president chooses to make a stand to deal with the fiscal problems. Sooner or later, it was bound to happen. I feel for the students, faculty, and staff, but someone needed to do something to ensure that Canisius is around for decades to come.

After Demske & Cooke, the past President didn’t run it like a business. Let President Steve fix this mess. St. Peter Canisius pray for us. Go Griffs!

The enrollment is so low- that's what is killing us.

Historically canisius was so dependent on students coming out of catholic high schools, particularly diocese of buffalo schools which basically don't exist anymore and the school administration was probably late to react to the changing demographics here and in the northeast, basically everything that led to Canisius attracting students that led it to becoming a somewhat highly rated academic school have been on a long term decline. I always felt it never seemed we did much to promote ourselves or to progressively address changes occurring including on the athletic front . Canisius still has many good majors and programs to build on and attract students from far and wide. An aggressive approach to sports and better success on the basketball court has to be part of any growth plan it would seem.

You need a mix of kids that can pay the full ride. Also too many local kids. You need to market beyond WNY. Go Griffs!
