Jenna Bazzell, associate professor of English, is on leave as of Monday, Sept. 16, for unknown reasons.

Grace Yackee, vice president of instruction, said the college cannot comment further.

“However, in an effort to preserve employee rights to privacy the College cannot comment beyond the employee is on leave,” Yackee said in an email.

Bazzell had 345 contact hours and 112 students across eight classes, according to a faculty workload form. Her workload and extra-contractual courses included ENGL-090, ENGL-151, ENGL-261 and ENGL-295. Bazzell was also co-advisor of GSA.
