Charles said the UTU believes there has been a failure on the part of Provost Lois Muir and College of Arts and Sciences Dean Thomas Storch to consult with faculty in a timely fashion. Charles said a consensus should include both faculty and administration, along with a sufficient notice regarding the elimination of adjuncts. The quality of instruction is going to plummet with these increases. Storch said he and department chairs have been working together to have a schedule within the budget. For six weeks Storch said he has kept contact with chairs on proposed spring scheduling.
Students are definitely the priority here.

Curnow said Storch first asked her to examine all course offerings to see which classes could withstand increased enrollment numbers. It's what we had to do in this situation. Storch said it's unfortunate faculty must increase their teaching duties but said it's necessary to maintain quality instruction.
