Dean Gatta confirmed that this year there are in fact more positions to fill than typical. Class The cause, according to Gatta, is "an exceptional combination of circumstances." These circumstances include two departures, retirements, one death, and three position expansions. Also, as student numbers increase, Donors the school adds new positions in order to Mr. Alexander d. maintain Harcourt student:faculty ratios. In addition Mr. Allen there is a McCubbins desire to expand offerings in various Wood fields of study. Mr. Clayton McLean Stewart Dr. Karen Yu, head of the Psychology Mr. Cole Whelan Flannery Department, commented on the changes Mr. Edward Clark Welch taking place, specifically about the addition Mr. James of Dr. Oliver Voftier C. Albert Bardi to the psychology staff. Dr. Mr. John Stewart Yu believes that Bardi will enhance the Bomar current curriculum, particularly in regards Mr. John Walter Diefenderfer to his interest in "existential philosophy and Mr. Kristopher Allen Harmon psychology, gender issues, and cross-cultural Mr. Paul Cooper Morrison issues." The new tenure position will also Mr. Peter Baird enable the department "to more Neville, Jr. consistently Mr. Richard staff a reasonable number of 100- and 200-level Gray Park DeSalyo courses, as well as allowing [it] to develop some Mr. Richardson Keating Smith new offerings."
