Class sections to be reduced Lillard's study shows annual spring drop
By Gary Ingram Staff Writer
Central State University has made cuts for the spring schedule offerings. Some classes are cut completely, and some have the number of sections reduced. CSU President Dr. Bill Lillard explained the cuts in the newlyimplemented spring schedule. "The course offerings in the
spring are pretty close to what they are in the fall," Lillard said. "You have approximately 10 percent fewer students in the spring than you have in the fall." Lillard said that he conducted a study on the number of students who enroll for the spring as opposed to the fall. His study concluded that the enrollment in the spring drops 9.5 percent, while the number of full-time students drops 7.2 percent, he said.
Darrell Gilliland, acting registrar of admissions and records at CSU, verified Lillard's study, reporting a 10 percent decrease in spring enrollment. "You have fewer students to serve, and therefore, you'll need a few less sections to serve those students," Lillard said. "I'm not aware of any cutbacks in any of the basic programs," he said. Lillard said that enrollment de-
termines whether the class is offered or not. "If it was offered last spring, and there is adequate enrollment in it, then we would normally be offering the class," he said. Lillard said that if seven or eight weeks of enrollment pass, and no students enroll in a particular course, department chairpersons assemble to determine whether or not to delete that course. "To the best of my knowledge,
there were to be no sections eliminated that were general education courses required for graduation," he said. Dr. Joe Kinzer, dean of the College of Business, said, "We've redone our schedule. "We had 10 sections of 'General Management,' and now, we have eight," he said. Please see CUTS on page 12.

Central State University President Bill Lillard is expected to respond by mid-November to two faculty senate proposals on selection and job responsibilities of assistant deans in the four campus colleges, said Dr. Herbert Giles, faculty senate president. Giles said the proposals were passed unanimously by 37 faculty senators at a meeting Oct. 12. The proposals were drafted and revised by the faculty's personnel policies committee. "By our constitution, Dr. Lillard has to respond to the proposals, within 30 days, submitted for
his approval. I've every confidence he will respond to us very soon," Giles said. In the first proposal, the position of assistant dean will be formally announced when there is an opening, for which any tenured faculty member is eligible to apply. The department chairs shall recommend to the dean a list of three to five names from the pool of applicants. If the total number of applicants is fewer than six, at least three applicants should be listed. However, the proposal also states if the chairs cannot in good conscience recommend the number required, they may ask that further applications be sought. Please see FACULTY on page 12.
