Growth remains issue as Champlain celebrates 50th

Vermont Public Radio reports that Champlain College is celebrating its 50th birthday. "Champlain has grown from a one-building, 60-student school offering two-year associates' degrees in 1958 to 42 buildings, about 1,950 undergraduates, four-year bachelor's degree programs and two online master's degree programs." Some neighbors are concerned about the school's growth, saying "the college has grown too fast and too much." In response, "college officials say they're trying to accommodate the neighbors' concerns, calling the neighborhood an amenity that attracts new students."
