The college also conducts exit interviews from students resigning or taking a leave of absence from the college. Administratively, the College experimented with a Dean of the College model from 1997-1999, as both a cost savings measure and as an attempt to bring about closer collaboration between academic affairs and student affairs. In 1999, it returned to the previous model of an Academic Dean and a Dean of Students. Other recent administrative structural changes have included the addition of two new deans, a dean of enrollment and a dean of institutional advancement. Responsibility for the Financial Aid office has been transferred to the dean of enrollment.
Faculty generally enjoy easy and informal access to the administration.
Financial resources overall on campus have been tight for a number of years. Departmental budgets have generally not increased since 1996 except in cases of known and unusual approved needs. Under the terms of the Agreement , the college sets aside professional development funds for each faculty member, though the amount of support is deemed insufficient by some faculty. As one of its four strategic goals for the next year, the college has identified the need for a comprehensive employee development program. There are efforts made to provide other funding sources for departments or for individual faculty members.
