Faculty have modified their teachingto deal with increased class size by:

Having less one-on-one time with students

Having less discussion and interaction in class

Giving fewer or shorter writing assignments

Administration says student-faculty ratio is lower than peer schools and changes need to be made

“The core academic mission, which is still

an undergraduate mission, is being

shortchanged. We will be proposing more

faculty, attention to faculty security and improvement

in the quality of our professional lives.”
