Student Life radically restructured
Casey Creel
ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR
A new position called the Dean
of Campus Life will combine respon
sibilities of both the Dean of Stu
dent Life (Mona Olds), and the Di
rector of Residential Life (Joanne
Toby), and the old positions have
been eliminated.
The Dean of Campus Life, a
posiUon that may be tilled by Anne
Lundquist, former Assistant Dean
for Retention & First Year Program
and currently Dean of Students at
Greensboro College, will report di
rectly to Randy Doss, whose new
title is Vice President for Enrollment
and Student Life. The deadline to
apply for the deanship was Fri.,
April 26.
"My engagement comes from
an enrollment management posi
tion," Doss said. "I will oversee the
whole student life program."
Doss will take on most of the
planning and oversight functions of

the eliminated positions, and the
day-to-day decisions will be handled
by the Dean of Campus Life, accord
ing to Mona Olds, whose contract
with Guilford ends June 30.
Additionally, three Assistant
Deans of Student Life, a step up
from the current three Residence
Life Coordinators, will relieve the
Dean of Campus Life of most low
end responsibilities of student life
and residence life. David Heggie and
Patty Burgoon, the two remaining
Residence Life Coordinators for this
year, have both chosen not to apply
for the new positions and will leave
Guilford this spring.
Adam Crisp, Residence Life
Coordinator for Binford, Shore, and
Maiy Hobbs dorms, left earlier this
semester.
"We have had low-paid resi
dence directors and have not been
able to attract a quality pool," Doss
said.
The new positions will be paid
more than the ones they were de-
signed from, and will require a
Master's Degree, with two years of
post-Master's residential life expe
rience preferred, according to the job
description.
"The design of the three assis
tants is not just a glorification of
residence coordination; these are
intended to be administrators with
substantial expectations and will be
held accountable to those," said
Executive Vice President Jerry
Godard.
The Operations Planning
Group subcommittee of the Strate
gic Long Range Planning commit
tee (SLRP), both chaired by Associ
ate Academic Dean Jim Hood, ere
ated the new Dean of Campus Life
position, to be paid less than the
former Dean of Student Life, last
month in their efforts to save money
by "reducing non-instructional
staffing," according to Doss.
"I don't think any of it was dis
satisfaction with my performance,"
Olds said. "The redesign allows for
there to be savings." Olds has
worked at Guilford since 1993.
Olds, who served on the sub
committee, presented alternatives
to the restructuring that would have
saved money but kept the basic
present structure intact, and with
