Continuing Ed Program
Faces Changes At BTC
BY TERRY POPE
Cuts in state funding are causing
problems for Brunswick Technical
College’s continuing education pro
gram.
“We feel like we’re going to lose a
large number of our continuing
education classes because of funding
levels from the state,” said BTC
President Joseph Carter.
A tentative budget from the state
has the school receiving 8125,000 less
than it icc-cived last year fcn its conti
nuing education program. Carter
said.
The school’s 1987-88 budget re
mains "tentative” until final word is
received from the state on the
amount of funds to be made available
for continuing education programs,
'fhe program has been cut in half
based on the the state’s tentative
allocations. Carter said.
At its meeting last Wednesday, the
board of tnutees did not discuss the
budget, which must be approved by
June 30.
However, they did table a plan that
would have eliminated the position of
dean of continuing education in a
reorganization of the school’s ex
ecutive staff.
Carter said the plan would restruc
ture the dean of instruction position,
which he now holds. The plan was en
dorsed by the board’s personnel cono-
mittee.
“Right now. I’m doing two jobs,”
Carter said. ”I’m the dean of instruc
tion and I’m also the president.”
The reorganization plan would add
a dean of instructors to the staff and
would also eliminate the need for a
dean of continuing education. Carter
said. Jesse Clemmons now serves as
dean of continuing education, a posi
tion he was asked to accept In order
to “monitor imd to supervise” that
program, Carter added.
Chairman David Kelly said he was
not against the realignment cf staff,
but was against the timing of the
matter. He recommended that the
board table the new plan until the
State Bureau of Investigation com
pletes its investigation at the school.
SBI agents joined state auditors in
March to investigate the school’s
finances. BTC was one of several
state community colleges placed
under investigation after alleged
misuse of funds was uncovered at
Cape Fear Technical Institute in
Wilmington.
SBI agents are expected to be
through with the investigation, by
June 1, Carter said.
“I don’t see any reason for them
not to be through by then,” ht added.
In other business last Wednesday,
the board:
•Accepted an Insurance package
with the J. Wilson Hunt Agency of
ThomasviUe. In addition to fire and
auto Insurance coverage, the Hunt
Agency will also provide liability in
surance for the board of trustees,
which has remained uninsured for
more than a year. The Hunt Agency
recently received the endorsement of
the state community college system.
•Agreed to ask the state for an ad
ditional roadway entrance onto U.S.
17 for the college’s interagency
building.
•Hired Barbara Norris as financial
aid officer and Harry Bennett as air
conditioning, heating and refrigera
tion lead instructor.
•Referred an anti-smoking policy
for the board bade to the personnel
committee.
