There was also an increase in workshops, conferences and lecture
series offered through the newly established James D. Compton Chair for
the Study of Private Enterprise. --

faculty members who hold the doctorate has increased substantially. Currently,
32.65% of the teaching faculty hold the terminal degree in their
respective teaching fields. --

has remained constant at about $39,000 a year. But the cost of
library materials has constantly increased. --

to provide counseling services for a diversity of student needs. Several
