3/12—Student Injury to hire a horticulture instructor to replace Jody La Chance, who has submitted retirement papers.

A student was hurt while allegedly helping at the farm’s sheep unit. The incident occurred at about 1:30 p.m. The sheep did not respond to calls for comment.

Multiple attempts to contact La Chance were unsuccessful.

There is currently an instructional assistant who helps with lab classes, supervises volunteers and club members when faculty is unavailable, and helps maintain various locations of the program.

“[The Horticulture Program] needs to get back on its feet,” said Keith Peabody, the instructional assistant that was hired in the Fall 2014 semester. “[The program] started out with $19-million bonds, now it’s one million.”

The locations maintained by the horticulture department include the S. Mark Taper Life Science Botanical Garden, the Nature Preserve, the Arboretum, along with the Braille Trail, which are considered valuable resources for the Agriculture Department.
