Vice President for Undergraduate Affairs Ronald Stebbings stated that Hackerman "only intervenes in undergraduate situations that require special considerations. He looks extremely and critically at any proposed change that would have significant impact on the students." Former Dean of Undergraduate Affairs Katherine Brown, appointed by Hackerman in 1973, feels that Hackerman "has always been accessible to the students. They may not have always received what they wanted, however. He prefers not to discuss what he hasn't received in writing and he admires persistence and, of course, good proposals." She feels that there are probably three major proposals that were brought to Hackerman that he approved and have subsequently affected undergraduate life. "He allowed for an increased Master's budget. Special funds were set up to improve the Master's house and provide for a semster with full-pay leave in addition to eligibility for a seven-year sabbatical.
