The inability to offer needed instructional programs due to
inadequate funding and space limitations has become a major frustration.
At the new Camden
Center where facilities have now been provided, the funding is not available to employ the
necessary full-time faculty. On the" Brunswick campus, in addition to funding, the problem is inadequate classroom space
and laboratory facilities. In addition, the Student Center space is quite inadequate to accommodate the Student Affairs
programming needed by a College of this size. --
People are being asked
to do more and more with fewer resources and staff. Concerns about overwork and distractions
from instructional duties are often voiced. The climate generated by continuing fiscal crisis is
debilitating at all levels of the organization, including the President's Office.
