Dean Smith has clearly stated that he intends to shrink faculty; we are worried that such a change will adversely affect class offerings and, importantly, class sizes. Small class settings and the breadth of our course offerings are vital to the undergraduate experience, and we hope they are not sacrificed for financial reasons.
