lege address on March 12, President Warrick L. Carter had more to say about where the college stands amidst a tough economic climate. The Chronicle sat down with Carter in his office in the Alexandroff Campus Center, 600 S. Michigan Ave., to further discuss the state of the college, including how the faculty hiring freeze will affect students, diversity at Columbia, and how Carter balances his responsibilities as president.
In October you announced a hiring freeze for all faculty and staff in response to the economic downturn. But with enrollment increasing rapidly and students far outnumbering the number of full-time faculty, don’t students need faculty now more than ever? The answer is yes. We need faculty, and we need staff. But the growth has been historic, and it’s whether or not the growth will continue into the coming years. When you make a decision to hire a faculty member you do a national search, and in many cases the people you choose to hire are people outside the region. So you have them move
