The number of student recruits in 2000 was 3,586. For the year 2001 that number has increased to 4,314. This is a 20 percent increase in recruitment numbers. She indicated that the college should do positive things to increase recruitment as opposed to make concessions for low enrollment now. There was one other major concern with this closure.
Sessions provides students with a convenient place to park.
Parking space is scarce right now, and there are plans to close the main parking area between the administration wing and TAPS building for the construction of the new Main Building. Closing Sessions would further eliminate another area where many students can park their vehicles. The concern with this is that though Burtenshaw is currently at half of its student capacity, the parking lot is constantly near full. A count of empty spaces at press time found only eight. However, there are about 35 cars filling the Sessions lot at any given time.
