THE COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA 29401 February 4, 1983 Office of the President This school year has been marked with extreme financial austerity. During the first semester, the State mandated a cut in the base state | appropriation of 4.6%. Another 3% cut was imposed later for a total reduction of 7.6% in state appropriated funds. Concomitant with these reductions, we were faced with a 20% increase in utility expenditures while trying to respond to a 5.5% increase in enrollment. Through the cooperation, dedication, and efforts of the College community, we have we have experienced a year with the highest enrollment at this institution. Noteworthy is the fact that we achieved this with increased admission Standards and our average SAT score for the student body was the highest ever in the history of the College of Charleston. Our continuing aims and efforts have been fruitful this year in making this an institution of academic excellence and distinction. We have attracted a faculty composed of scholars possessing the highest academic qualities. We have been fortunate indeed this year with the employment of Dr. Jacquelyn Mattfeld as the new Provost. She has brought with her a wealth of knowledge, experience, and leadership. Also, a reorganization of the administrative structure has been accomplished as a means to better serve the College community. Along with our favorable growth academically, we have witnessed progress in many other areas. Our sports programs have excelled, and we can all take pride in our winning teams; especially, both our men and women basketball teams. This year reaffirms my belief that the true soul of an institution is shown in adversity. With all the bad resulting from poor economic times, we have had a very good and rewarding year. I am confident that the future of the College of Charleston is just what we want it to be. Saved yy. Caltne Qe. vakvgstaal. INS) (Creda, fier managed to deal with the situation.
