Sociology Chair Robert J. Sampson, who is the Ford professor of the social sciences, said that the department had spent about $250 on publicity for this semester. “Enrollments were up over 50 percent last fall compared to the year before, which I attribute mainly to the increased offerings and intellectually rich menu,” Samson added.
