“We are desperate for more classroom space,” said Mike Bruner, vice president of Student Services and College Facilities. “Students could not get a full load,” Bruner said. “They got six credits when they wanted 15. We have hundreds of students who would take more credits if classroom space were available.” School officials expected the enrollment boom and hired 25 full-time faculty members this year. They also added extra sections of core courses such as English, communication, mathematics and psychology. Anderson said he hopes to mitigate the weekday space crunch by increasing enrollment in online learning courses, and getting students to take Saturday classes, which were offered for the first time last year.
