Simpson University Reviews

Even though they are coming out of it, Simpson is still financially in a hole. It's the same old, understaffed, and under-resourced scenario that leaves most staff burnt out. The new administration is progressive but still top-down and micro managey through pretty much the entire institution.

After almost a decade in higher education, including the last six years at this institution, the pay is still half of what I make at the local community college. They do not pay you for your office hours, but Mandy that you hold them. They do not pay you for training, but highly suggest that you attend. Resources are limited, and professors are made to navigate things mostly on their own. The departments are small and there’s only three people in my department – and yet we are all basically still strangers. You do it for the students! You do it In the name of education! You do it because it’s what you chose to do with your profession. you won’t promote, you won’t get a flexible schedule, you won’t get a COLA increase like other institutions, you won’t get training with pay.
