For the past day and a half, the Whitman community has been fixated with the results of the 2016 Presidential Election.
While for many Trump’s victory evoked feelings of anger and disappointment, still a few on Whitman’s campus were in favor of the results. Nearly everyone, however, was surprised.
February’s Governing Board meetings resulted in the approval of a new budget for the 2015-16 academic year, which includes a three percent tuition increase along with salary increases of 3.5 percent for staff and three percent for faculty. The tuition increase is similar to the 2.9 percent increase in tuition made last year and reflects the goal of the college to remain competitive with similar institutions.
Dean of Faculty and Provost Timothy Kaufman-Osborn will be stepping down at the end of the academic year. The college is currently looking for an interim from within the faculty to replace him, though he plans on coming back to the college in some capacity after taking some time off.
