Knowles says that in the coming years, the goal of the Faculty is to decrease the student-faculty ratio and improve relations between professors and students.
"Over the next decade, we want to increase the size of the faculty while keeping the college the same size," Knowles says.

This may be difficult because of the increasing number of qualified applicants, but both Knowles and Rudenstine say that Harvard has no plans to expand the size of the incoming classes.
"We're a whole lot smaller than the really large research universities," Rudenstine says. "We have no plans to expand the student body, though heaven knows a lot of people are beating on us to take more students."
