VOL. 80, NO. 41 WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY, BELLINGHAM, WA TUESDAY, AUGUST 2,1988
Mortimer will look to Legislature
to increase enrollment to 10,000
By Wendy Sawyer
staff reporter
Convincing Washington's
Legislature to raise Western's enrollment
lid to 10,000 full-time
students will be the most pressing
task when he assumes his position
as university president, said Kenneth
P. Mortimer.
Currently Western's enrollment
lid is 8,250 full-time students.
"This does not mean we will
sacrifice in quality," Mortimer
emphasized.
During a brief meeting with
The Front Friday, Mortimer said
Western has the capacity to serve
more students, and added that it
will be more cost-effective for the
state to allow Western to take all
the students it can handle.
While Mortimer said he realizes
adding more students will require
hiring more faculty, he said
this will be less expensive than adding
more off-campus Western
branches.
"The Legislature and the public
need to know the quality of
students demands the enrollment
lid be raised to 10,000," he said.
Mortimer said keeping the enrollment
low is "educationally
bad." Students who might need to
take a quarter off fear not being
re-admitted, making Western's
retention rates high, he added.
Aside from raising the enrollment
lid, Mortimer stressed the
need to fill the position of vice
president for Academic Affairs,
Western's primary academic
voice.
This position has been vacant
since Paul Ford resigned in
March, 1987, to return to his faculty
position in the College of Education.
John Yost, vice provost of the
University of Nebraska, had been
chosen for the post last August,
but a series of delays caused his
withdrawal in March.
Sam Kelly, dean of Western's
Graduate School, has temporarily
filled this vacancy.
Mortimer said a nation-wide
search, estimated to take six to
eight months, will be conducted.
"The most realistic scenario
would be to have someone in the
position next summer," he said.
Mortimer, who will officially
assume his position as Western's
leader Sept. 15, said he has many
tasks on his agenda for fall.
Mortimer added, however,
that he is unable to say what
specific programs Western requires
until he has spent time becoming
more familiar with Western's
policies and programs.
As vice president and vice
provost at The Pennsylvania State
University, Mortimer administered
a number of recommendations
and programs put forward
