hello. it's lauren.

“If you rank the largest classes for each school by size, the top ten graduating classes between 2000-01 and 2009-10 are:
465 (San Jose State University, 2009-10)
456 (San Jose State University, 2006-07)
448 (San Jose State University, 2007-08)
437 (San Jose State University, 2008-09)
359 (University of North Texas, 2006-07)
356 (University of North Texas, 2009-10)
338 (San Jose State University, 2005-06)
315 (University of North Texas, 2008-09)
(tie) 308 (San Jose State University, 2004-05)
(tie) 308 (University of North Texas, 2007-08)
All ten classes appear to be primarily attributable to two administrators. Ken Haycock was director of the School of Library and Information Science at San Jose State University from 2005 until 2010, and Herman L. Totten has been dean of the University of North Texas School of Library and Information Science since 2005.”
