They should love what they are teaching. If you are passionate about your work, the students can see that and become more interested. Butcher is currently working on rebuilding the broadcasting and music departments. While the Division is making changes, Butcher is also making adjustments to his new role. The self-defined artist hasn't changed his priorities.

He and his secretary Gloria Gillard will drop anything when a student needs help. Second on the priority list comes classroom work, then Division work, then finally his art. As a professor Butcher discovered that art and teaching feed each other. He carefully studies each piece he creates, learning from it, not just techniques but understanding the piece. Butcher still gets into the studio everyday, just not for as long as he used to.
