• to be It was a tough year, and administrators didn ' t ■ ' escape complications. In April, faculty ■ • • members spoke out against President ' Dean Hubbard and Vice President ' Richard Dumont with a ' ' no confi- dence vote. . . ' ' « The administrative shake-up continued when ■ Dumont and Vice President John Mees resigned. ■ ' And just when we thought we were out of the ' ■ news, Shaila Aery, commissioner of, higher education, suggested closing . ■ Northwest to enhance state appropria- tions. Although legislators opposed the ' . scenario, it threatened recruitment. Though the year started off as a challenging one, we remained hopeful. While the Keep- . ing the Promise national conference on ' ' . education brought the University into the spotlight, individual programs con- tinued to excel. The CARE program , received a $92,000 grant to increase al- cohol and drug awareness on campus, ' and the Tower yearbook was named one of six Pacemaker publications—- ' putting it in the top 1 percent of all year- ' books in the United States. % J 4 I dpentng
