While nobody knows for sure, as the choice is up to the college president, Kathleen Burke, senators Kathy Oborn and Lyn Clark, who are also both on the Faculty Position Priority Committee, were told at a meeting with Burke that there would be five new incoming staffers.

The definition of five new hires is unclear, as 18 people retired last year and Burke did not clarify whether those retirees would be replaced.

“I don’t know if it is five over the 18. It is never an automatic replacement, because some departments may have enough other full-timers, some may not have any full-timers,” Oborn said.

“There is never a ‘let’s always do this.’ It is not a one size fits all.”
