I understand the complexity of naming the department...it really affects how the department is viewed, by the faculty, and by everyone. In all actuality, I'm not entirely convinced that I like most of the department titles, it's just that they're predictable, and strangely impossible to find a unique identifier. I finally resonated with the Center for Teaching and Learning, I thought it sounded more...academic?

My motive for this discussion was to find out what folks are dealing with, on a support-to-faculty-&-student ratio (English liberties taken). Some of my positions have been grotesquely out of proportion (and not in my favor) while other schools equipped the department with adequate employees, whether they were designers, copy editors, programmers, or even student workers, which any of these additions can make a noticeable difference.
