According to a report by the A&M Human Resources Department, the number of em ployees who have left Beutel per year has in creased 40.3 percent since Isdale’s assignment to Beutel in 1995. Krueger said this increase has left Beutel search ing for qualified physicians, which often ends in the hiring of temporary or “contract” physicians who practice until a permanent physician can be "Dr. [Lucille] Isdale has done a wonderful job enhancing the student experience at Beutel because she values the students' concerns over those of her staff." — Bill Kibler Associate vice president for student affairs found.
