Day said 1993 will be a “fairly

“After 1993 we'll be more like the
size of the present Vancouver Com-

sibility are personnel, labour rela-

says. “A good portion relates to human resources.”

Della Mattia has been at Douglas College since it inception in 1970.

dents each year. The College
employs 38 administrators, 130
regular staff, 100 auxiliary staff,
350 full-time equivalent faculty,
and 1200 annual contract faculty
for non-credit courses.

“We're now a big time or-
ganization, spending over $30 mil-
lion annually,” Day said.

The organizational changes
outlined by Day include the crea-
tion of a sixth division called
Human Resources and College
Development. The new division,
