"That's my first love," he said. "I have always loved to teach. In the Fall semester, I might again teach a course to keep myself in touch with the students." Dua is not coming to the position without some goals. "I think I would first like to promote better faculty-student relations and creative instruction in classes. Second, I would like to promote excellence in faculty research, which has been a very strong point in view of the small size of the university, and help faculty obtain necessary facilities for research. Third, I would like to promote liberal arts quality education, which is the main focus of this institution. In general, I'm looking to create a positive work environment and develop a greater sense of collegiality and cooperation among faculty members." The search for the position of Dean was undertaken in March following the resignation of Dr. Robert Rogerson. Twenty six applications were reviewed by the search committee. Dr. Keith McCurdy was the acting dean during the search.

The recommendation, passed by the General Faculties Council last week, is one of several in a report from die Committee on admissions and Standard designed to manage enrollment levels. David Atkinson, Chair of the Committee, says the admission standards is a "pretty major step" by the University and GFC is "taking very seriously" the concern about the number of students coming in. In the report, the Committee said enrollment in the Faculty of Arts and Science is exceeding capacity and third and fourth year enrollments have not yet reached expected levels. The result is a "bubble-trough" effect which will need to be managed in order to prevent large fluctuations in student numbers. If the Univer sity continues to admit as many students as in previous years, the number of continuing students remains constant, enrolment could reach 3,800 FTE by next fall. Official enrolment figures taken on Dec. 1 show 3,652 full-time students are now at the University which is above the funded limit of 3,619, says Director of Institutional Analysis Andy Barnard. About 500 full-time students will be admitted in January in anticipation of approximately the same number who graduate, transfer or drop out by die end of mis year. The reduction of new students next fall is still about 70 students over and above funding. But the Committee says a drastic reduction in first-year students could drive up die minimum high school average required for admission and lead to a shortage later. The reduction of 150 students will be evenly distributed between high school and transfer students. High school students will be admitted in a staged process determined by academic average while transfer students will be admitted in a staged process based on die number of transfer courses counting toward a degree. Other highlights of the report include: -Students in good standing re-applying for admission will be given priority. -Second degree students applying for admission into Arts and Science will be admitted on die same basis as transfer students. -The age for a Mature non-matriculating student be raised from 19 to 21. -The University adopt an open registration policy for Summer School 1991, with priority course registration going to Continuing students.
