Stressful times for Business deparment Luke Bennewitz Editorial Staff
The Business Department will be undergoing a transitional period of restructuring that has left some faculty and students scratching their heads. The restructuring period first began in February of 2010. The phase consisted of business faculty positions opening up towards the end of the year. This means that the professors who currently serve those positions need to reapply for those jobs. Additionally, those jobs will be open for outside of Carroll applicants as well. “It’s stressful,” said Debra Schultz, “But we’re getting every opportunity to apply.” Professor Schultz, Visiting Assistant Professor of Business, who has been an adjunct for three years before becoming fulltime for the past five years, gave insight into this situation. “Faculty members who are non-tenured are being transitioned into instructional spots,” said Schultz, “The transition process is difficult for the professors that go a whole year wondering if they have a job or not.” This transition period within the department has gone relatively unnoticed by the student body, even within the students who are Business majors. Angela Wisniewski, a sophomore Business major, knew little information about the actual restructuring. “I never heard anything about this,” stated Wisniewski, “I think that if some don’t get rehired then I think there will be some animosity.” “Carroll’s really a good place and we have phenomenal faculty in the Business department,” said Schultz, “I think that the positive side is having faculty that are strong in the classroom.” The official decisions about the placements of faculty members have not been made yet and opportunities for applications have been made public.

Editorial Staff “ Ta k e a Moment, Take a Seat” marked the official completion of Phase 1 of Carroll University’s master plan Nov. 15. After a long period of construction, Main Lawn is now ready to be used by students and other members of the Carroll community. Student Senate President Luke Bennewitz cut the ribbon and tossed the honorary first Frisbee across the lawn to make the longawaited moment official. “I can’t put that moment into words because

any description I give would be an injustice to how significant this even was,” said Bennewitz. “It’s us opening a door to Carroll’s future.” Carroll students, staff, faculty and community members gathered on the newly constructed garden wall at the edge of Main Lawn at the beginning of the short event. “We wanted everyone to know what it was for,” said Carroll President Dr. Douglas Hastad. “We want students to be able to gather there and reflect on life and the world.” Vice-President of Finance and Administrative Services Ron Lostetter, Board of Trustees Facilities Committee member Anthony Bryant and Chair of the

Board of Trustees Marna TessMattner joined Hastad at the unveiling. Together, they “christened” the new sign at the center of the wall with a bottle of nonalcoholic champagne. “The wall is meant to border what is our main area on campus—our main lawn,” said Lostetter. After the ribbon was cut and the first Frisbee was tossed, those who gathered on the wall took their first steps across the new lawn towards what is now known as the official centerpiece of Carroll.
