I held my breath when the scheduling of first-year students took place. It was done by a computer program and went smoothly — even better than it did before we switched the times.

There is a different demand for seats at each of the undergraduate colleges, which leads to a different cutoff point for admission [at the different colleges].

What we have here is a system of separate colleges, and separate in this case is inherently unequal.

I can't think of another campus that is as spread out as we are. There are others that have a river down the middle of them. But we are more far-flung, and that's something we have to deal with.

We had been at full capacity, ... Now we could unfreeze the system and move classes around to better meet demands on the campuses.

I think the students will adjust to it very quickly. Faculty members that have been here won't get used to it until we retire, but we'll just have to keep our heads screwed on straight.
