A group of 52 tenured faculty members at a prominent California business school have expressed concerns about the institution's direction in a letter addressed to Dean Geoffrey Garrett.

The professors cited declining enrollment numbers and cuts to graduate programs as indicators of what they described as troubling institutional trends. The letter was characterized as sharply worded in its tone toward the dean.

The faculty members appear to view the enrollment decreases and program reductions as symptoms of broader challenges facing the business school. However, specific details about the extent of enrollment declines or which graduate programs have been affected were not immediately available.

The letter represents a significant expression of faculty dissatisfaction, given that it was signed by more than four dozen tenured professors. Such collective action by senior faculty members typically indicates serious concerns about institutional governance or academic direction.

Neither the business school administration nor Dean Garrett have publicly responded to the faculty letter. The specific business school involved and the timeline of the enrollment and program changes mentioned in the letter were not specified in available reports.
