Vancouver [CUP| - A British
Columbia community college
is promoting itself as the elite
academic institution in B.C.
despite sever reductions ot its
cash.

“We're doing our best to
market the college in terms of
academic excellence,’’ said
Frank Gelin, dean of academ-
ic studies at Capilano College.

Capilano’s budget was cut

 

in a row this year.

“We're trying to say it’s an
institution for students includ-
ing honours_.students who
would normally have gone to
university,’’ said Gelin.

But at the same time the
college has chopped its li-
brary purchasing budget by
two thirds, reduced classroom
instruction time by one quart-
er, severely limited course
offerings, and added another
course to instructors already-
heavy workloads.

“It’s a contradiction for
sure,’ said Paul Mier, a
political science instructor.

Mier said he doubted hon-
ours students would come to
Capilano because of the pres-
tige of a university education,
and because the students
couldn’t get the resource ma-
terial they would want.
