The pressures caused at the University level by the money situation were sometimes intense. So intense, in fact, that, in one instance, a college dean resigned. George Denemark, dean of the College of Education, resigned in February, citing budget- related reasons. Denemark was bitter when talking about how the cuts affected his college. The budget cuts, in my judgment, have hit this college inordinately hard ' said Denemark. In my judgment, teacher education is not judged fairly. Land-grant institutions tend to view law, medicine, and engineering as kind of the core of the University. Teacher education is not seen as a critical element to the quality and lifeblood of this institution. Denemark cited a problem common among UK’s colleges—rising enrollment coupled with the freeze on hiring caused understaffing. Enrollment has been quite stable, he said. The undergraduate level is not varying. Graduate enrollment has been at a slight increase. It's very frustrating to know how to deal with climbing enrollment when you don’t have the funds. It's a question of how much do you play the game and pour students into classes, he said. I would be hesitant, if I were a student out there, to come to the University of Kentucky.
