COLONIE — Enrollment at Siena University dropped more than 14% this year, with undergraduate enrollment at its lowest level since before the Covid pandemic. That has led to a significant reduction in administrators, with 41 people set to leave as soon as next week, as well as dozens of adjuncts and 15 full-time faculty members, according to the Upstate New York school.
