Many classes close
early in registration

While many classes closed last week
during spring registration, the admin
istration will open additional spring
semester classes due to an accumula
tion of some additional funds.
The funds will result from the resig
nation of Dr. Tim Hollingsworth,
chairman of the management depart
ment. Hollingfworth’s resignation will
become effective on Jan. 31, 1987. The
resignation will free funds to hire
more part-time faculty for the spring
semester, according to Dr. Je£f
Rackham, vice chancellor for academic
affairs.
Students filled up 22 percent of all
classes by the third day of registra
tion, said Bill Petz, acting vice chan-
Mllor for enrollment services.

Hollingsworth will
leave in January

The chairman of the management
department has officially announced he
will resign his position on Jan. 31,
1987.
Dr. Tim Hollingsworth said he de
cided to resign fiom his position as
management department chairman and
professor in August. He said his major
reason for resigning was that he
didn’t "think the (management) depart
ment is getting the type of support it
deserves from the administration."
And, he added, the department needs
more resources to operate efficiently.
Hollingsworth will take the position
of dean of the School of Business Ad
ministration at Monmouth College in
West Long Branch, N.J., on Feb. 1,
1987. There are about 5,000 students
at Moiunouth, with 31 faculty members
in the School of Business Administra
tion.
Hollingsworth cited several short
comings in the management department
at UNCA. He said the department
needs additional faculty positions,
clerical help and more equipment such
as computers and software.
There are 13 full-time faculty mem
bers in the department with
only one or two full-time secretaries,
he said. The management department
deals with 35 to 45 percent of stu
dents on campus, he said, and yet has
only 12 percent of the faculty.
The management department has
majors in industrial engineering, ac
counting and management, and between
400 and 550 students who have de
clared majors in one of those areas,
Hollingsworth said. As an example of
the dilemma, he noted that there are
about 80 students interested in mar
keting, but the department has only
one instructor in marketing.
Furthermore, the management de
partment does not meet standards re
quired for accreditation by the Ameri
can Assembly of Colleges and Schools
of Business (AACSB), Hollingsworth
said.
To meet those requirements would
mean that the department would have
to hire two times the current number
of faculty in each of eight specific
departmental areas. Belonging to the
AACSB would mean that more and
different firms would come to UNCA
to recruit students, and the students
could transfer more easily to accredit
ed business schools and to graduate
schools.

While Hollingsworth said he "thinks
UNCA has a great management depart
ment," he said there are not enough
faculty members for the number of
students. He said he notified the ad
ministration in August so it would
have adequate time to find a replace-
