On Saturday, Aug. 4, the Hofstra community grieved the loss of a professor whose 55-year legacy at Hofstra will not soon be forgotten. Professor Emeritus of education and global studies professor Timothy Smith died of a cardiac arrest just one day after celebrating his 84th birthday.

A high turnover rate in the Accounting, Taxation and Legal Studies in Business Department has been linked to an atmosphere of bullying, cronyism and disregard for faculty policy. Since the spring of 2015, seven full-time faculty members that make up one of the largest departments in the Frank G. Zarb School of Business no longer work at Hofstra. Administrators within the school were accused of repeatedly breaching the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), circumventing checks and balances at the university.
