Canisius University
Canisius University (/kəˈniːʃəs/ kə-NEE-shəss) is a private Jesuit university in Buffalo, New York. It was founded in 1870 by Jesuits from Germany and is named after St. Peter Canisius. Canisius offers more than a hundred undergraduate majors and minors, and around thirty-four master's and certificate programs.
Canisius has its roots in the Jesuit community that arose from disputed ownership of St. Louis Church in Buffalo in 1851. Rev. Lucas Caveng, a German Jesuit, along with 19 families from St. Louis Church, founded St. Michael's Church on Washington St. The college followed, primarily for serving sons of German immigrants, along with the high school in 1870, first at 434 Ellicott St. and next to St. Michael's. In 1913 construction of the Old Main building at 2001 Main St. was completed. The early presidents of the college were German Jesuits.
In 2010, John Hurley was named the first lay president of the college, serving in that role until his retirement in 2022.
In July 2020, President John Hurley and the board of trustees laid off 96 employees, including 25 faculty positions, most of them tenured. Several majors were eliminated, including Classics, Entrepreneurship, European studies, Fine Arts, Human Services, International Business, Physics, Religious Studies and Urban Studies. In response, the college's faculty senate issued votes of no confidence in the president and board of trustees.
In June 2021, the college was sanctioned by the American Association of University Professors "for infringement of governance standards".
Several affected tenured faculty members sued the college for violation of contract. The move attracted criticism from numerous academic organizations, including the American Historical Association and the Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies.
Steve Stoute took office as the 25th president of Canisus on July 1, 2022.
On April 27, 2023, Canisius announced that it had successfully petitioned the New York State Education Department Board of Regents for university designation. It officially changed its name to Canisius University on August 1, 2023.
