1 min read

The union representing faculty members at Bloomfield College is raising concerns that the colleges impending merger with Montclair State University may lead to job losses.

Montclair State and Bloomfield College announced last week they plan to merge by June 30, 2023. The highly-unusual merger of Montclair State, a large public research university, and a private college is expected to save Bloomfield College after school officials said last year it might shut down for financial reasons.

The 154-year-old private college will get a new name: Bloomfield College of Montclair State University.
