Watson challenged the ability of the new programs to handle the current number of master's students, who comprise nearly half of the Ed School's enrollment. The traditional programs which now enroll most of the master's students will probably lose most of their funding to the new programs...
Donald W. Oliver, professor of Education, who will be extensively involved in Learning Environments, said that heexpects the program to accommodate 30 to 40 master's students, and Childhood Education to accept another 15.
Sizer said that the total number of full-time master's students (318) "will drop slightly" next year. He added that the bulk of the students will be distributed among several programs which will "accept responsibilities according to the resources they are allocated."
Watson speculated that the drop in the master's student enrollment may be as much as 50 per cent, with a revenue loss of half a million dollars.
The faculty will continue discussion of five remaining policy committee proposals January 6. Opposition is expected on proposals concerning "teacher development" and a one-year moratorium on admissions to doctoral programs in subject-matter areas.
