The vi.c~ prcsidcrn would o, crscc the overall operation and evaluation aca~ic and vocation:il progranl), accordtng to a.Job dCCieription prqxircd by Bcnncu. A main goal of the plan is the hope 1ha1 ihe new YlCC prcsideni "'-OUld rosier a clearer
or
sense of unity between the two departments, a rationale of the plan stated. Vocatioruil faculty vok:ed lhcir opposnion in a lcucr sent 10 Bennett that morning, and the Faculty ;~bl)' ,otc:d at noon lO oppose the plan. Bcnnct1 will still s-ubmil his plan 10 the board of trus1~ Dec. 20, he said. Under the plan, the ,ice prcsidcm would not make day-to-<lay budget dcruions, but rather long-range planning and curriculum dc\clopmm1, Bcnncu said. The vice J)re:',idenl would have a vc10 powtr over funding, hO\lo CVCf.
