.... ~ Vol. ~, No.9 Nov. IS, 1971 The Admissions Commission: 15 months' labor completed. -Photo by Bill Mitcham Commission urges-:.- EiH~U- more disadvantaged, minority· students Michigan State should redouble its efforts to work with the state's community colleges, enroll more disallvantaged students, more minority students, and prepare to enroll substantially larger numbers of juniors and seniors than freshmen and sophomores. These proposals come from the long-awaited report of the Presidential Commission on Admissions and Student Body Composition. The 117-page document contains 79 recommendations, dealing with such questions as the role ·of the University, student mix, admissions procedures, fmancial aids and support services, and research. When the Commission was created in March, 1970,it marked the first attempt by a major university to examine its c~rrent practices and make what might be major adjustments to fit emerging educational needs. One of those needs - how to serve the students who attend two-year cortununity colleges - is dealt with extensively. So is the need for access to higher education for high school graduates with high potential but poor grades or low incomes. Mter much debate, the Commission endorsed the principle of "equal access" to. upper division for students who successfully complete their first two years at a community college. . And it urged MSU to take the lead in persuading other senior institutions to develop a statewide agreement that would guarantee access to upper division for community college graduates seeking to continue their education. In presenting their report to President Wharton, the commission members explained that "a post-high school education has become so necessary that all Wharton has no timetable for his responses to report President Wharton declined to give a timetable for his response to the Admissions Commission's 79 recommendations at a press luncheon Monday, but he did point out three areas where they. could be considered. Some of the recommendation will require only minor administrative action, he said; some will go through the internal channels of the University, and others involving major policy decisions or changes would go to the Board of Trustees. But all of this depends upon the president's reaction to the recommendations. Since the report is adviSOry to him, he mayor may not concur with recommendations, and may choose to modify some. He must also decide what the fIrst steps should be. He pointed out that the Commission report covers no new problems but is concerned with contemporary problems facing higher education in general. What is innovative about the Commission and its report, Wharton said, it that responses to admissions and student body composition problems at other institutions tend to be on an ad hoc, separate basis, isolated from the interrelationships with other problems, and are not in the long-range context of is institutional goals. MSU's study, however, integrative and consistent, he said. Ira Polley, assistant ·provost for admissions and records and executive director of the Commission, said that the procedures were also a reflection of a new approach to admission problems. He cited the COIIlJOSition of the Commission and the six public hearings held. Commission members Chitra Smith, associate professor in James Madison College, James PickerlRg, associate professor of English, and Clifford Pollard, professor of botany and plant pathology, also attended the press luncheon and fIelded questions on the rationale behind some of the recommendations. institutions of higher education, old and new alike, now face a well-nigh irresistible pressure to open their doors even wider and admit more - if not all- of those who apply. "The 'l!lestion," they said, "is one of proper response." What that response should be at Michigan State is what the Commission report attempts to spell out. QUOTAS REJECTED While it rejected target quotas and percentages, the Commission does recommend increased enrollments of economically and educationally disadvantaged students. It also recommended more minority group representation. MSU already has achieved considerable progress in enrolling minority students. Data from the University's most recent report to the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare shows that in the fall of 1970 it enrolled 2,064 minority students. As for financially disadvantaged, about 46 percent of all MSU students receive some financial support, averaging about $554 per stl!dent per year. Who is he? What of the "educationally" disadvantaged student? . According to Commission member Dorothy Arata, "We're not after the intellectual dropout, but the students who really have it - a creative imagination and high motivation, who just haven't been able to overcome the disadvantages of a poor school system or family background." In its report, the Commission proposed that efforts be continued in admitting the educationally disadvantaged student in greater numbers and urged MSU to come up with new measures for assessing "potential" and "ability." In recommending that MSU "prepare to serve more juniors and seniors than freshmen and sophomores," the Commission merely confirmed an existing trend. STUDENT MIX CHANGES :Since 1961, the "enrollment mix" has shifted from 51 percent freshmen and sophomores, 32 percent juniors and seniors, and 17 percent graduate students (Continued on page 4) Page 2, MSU News-Bulletin, Nov. 18, 1971 Highway to be discussed Graduate studpnt pay hike will be asked ~:, ~~. President Wharton is expected to recommend to the Board of Trustees Friday that pay increases be granted to graduate assistants and student employes. (Another item scheduled for Board discussion is the proposed cross-campus -,: '~~ '-'" I~"; highway. The twstees in June of this year rescinded its earlier approval of plans for the highway. In actions this week, the East Lansing City Council by a 3-2 margin reversed an earlier stand and voted to oppose the proposed route, while the Lansing City Council voted to endorse the route.) Wharton said that the amount of the increase would be within the range (5.5 per cent) permitted under guidelines of Phase II of the federal wage-price controls. Academic 'Senate hears status}.' of bargaining, grievance reports The Academic Senate Monday heard reports on four areas and informational reports from both the president and the provost. No action was taken. Herbert C. Jackson, professor of religion and chairman of the ad hoc committee on collective bargaining, said his committee will provide no forums, will not propose an action item, but would have a mimeographed report sent to all faculty by the Jan. 11 meeting of the Elected Faculty Council. Jackson outlined three alternatives for faculty: * The status quo, with more influential collaboration with the administration. * Formal collective bargaining, in which faculty would have to select a representative. * Something between the two. An example, Jackson said, would be an all-University profession.al as~ociation with a policy committee of two units, one faculty and one administration. Items agreed upon by these two units could be sent to the Board of Trustees. The faculty role with this model would no longer be advisory, Jackson noted. This model came in a recent proposal from a department and has not yet been discussed by Jackson's committee. E. Fred Carlisle, associate chairman of English and chairman of the drafting committee of the faculty grievance procedures, and rights and responsibilities document, reported on the status of the two reports and fielded questions on the grievance procedures which are now being debated and amended in the Elected Faculty Council; Beatrice Paolucci, professor in human ecology and member of the Steering Committee of the Faculty, reviewed actions taken regarding the status of librarians and copperative extension staff. These personn~l , are not included under the , University's definition of faculty and do not, therefore; have the rights of tenure or_ participation in academic governance. Recent federal and stat\l, )~g~slation bring most Univedity e 1'q ployes under unemployment , compensation regulations, 'according to Provost J OM Cantlon. And, Paolucci reported, the steering committee will ask the Committee on Acad~mjc Governance to discuss the status o,f. the two groups in academic governance. That committee is to be formed in January. Cantlon reported OJl the status of the proposed -College of Race and Urban Mfairs, the evaluation of the three residential colleges, the proposed College of Law, the proposed four-year, degree-granting college of general studies (including a University College proposal for that college status), and release of faculty salary information. President Wharton discussed the ,On other campuses . -,-,-'.' TENURE ENDORSED. A special committee studying faculty tenure criteria at the University of Wisconsin has reported that it "stiQngly endorses" the system at Wisconsin and urged that tenure "Should continue to function effectively based on the careful evaluation of teaching, scholarship and public service." The committee of three regents, three faculty members lind three administrators ,ecommended that "teaching, as one of the criteria for granting tenure, must be given renewed emphasis, with systematic evaluation of colleagues during the probationary years." It also reported fmding little evidence that tenure protects the incompetent at Wisconsin. * * * DIAL-A-RIDE. The University of Michigan has begun subsidizing a city bus service called "Dial-A-Ride." The system will be expanded to Ann Arbor areas of high student and staff population, in response to growing concern for more safety measures. From 7 a.m. until midnight, seven days a week, anyone living within' the boundaries of the service can telephone for a bus. The cost is 60 cents a ride, but U-M is paying 35 cents of the fare during a six-weeks' experiment of the plan. At the University of Chicago, a new evening "niioi bus" service for students, faculty and staff has begUn. It includes three routes about four times an hour between 6 p.m. and midnight Sunday through Friday, and 5 p.m. to midnight on " Saturday. * * * 'THREATENING ACTIONS.' A committee of the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota has passed a resolution requesting ~ halt to threatening actions by some advocates of a Chicano studies department. The action followed reports from several Minnesota faculty and administ{atQ(S-" th(l-t they had been threatened with physical violence by persons identifying tliehlseIVes as proponents of the Chicano studies department. A faculty member said the educational policy committee was unable to complete its study of the propbsed department because of "excessive external pressures." 11/, ,r: n';,:!' * * ., ,10 181'1"r' rroijsol )iV'!:)" LARGE GIFT TO IOWA.

The Senate also heard a report on implementation of the Bylaws for Academic Governance, including election of faculty for new committees and status of student elections for seats on the Academic Council and standing committees. About 120 faculty attended ,the Senate meeting at the Wilson Hall Auditorium. All professors, associate professors and assistant professors are Senate members. CU hosts open house The MSU Employees Credit' Union will hold an open house at its new building Sunday (Nov. 21) from 1 to 5 p.m. It will begin with brief dedication ceremonies at I p.m. at which Al Charbonneau of the Michigan - Credit Union League will speak. There will be cash door prizes for adults and children. The new building is located at 600 East Crescent, just east of the Manly Miles Building off Harrison Road.

The deadline for reservations is Tuesday, Nov. 30. Fall commencement is Saturday, Dec. 4. Longevity checks due Dec. 1 Longevity checks will be distributed Wednesday, Dec. 1. Federal tax will be withheld ,at the rate of 20 percent, state tax at 3.9 percent, and social security tax will be withheld where 'applicable. Longevity checks will be deposited directly for those who have direct bank deposit of their salaries. Eligibility for longevity checks is limitid to persons who have been full-time ,employes for ' six years or longer.

"They are not -Particularly clear as to how universities are affected." The fust period of the federal freeze ende.d at midnight last Saturday. But unless they are specifically changed by ensuing Phase IT guidelines, previous freeze actions on wages and prices remain in force. "All our budget planning for 1971-72 has included wage increases for graduate assistants and student employes, as well as for faculty and staff," Wharton said. Although faculty and staff were able to get raises retroactive to July 1, the same was not true for graduate assistants and student employes because they were not scheduled to receive their increases until September, after the freeze began. Temporary faculty and other categories of employes who could not be considered for an increase because of the freeZe ' will also be included in the recommendation to the Board.

When these children return to the U.S., she re!,orts, they then fmd it difficult to. socialize and become part of a large group as is the custom here. Third culture children must also hurdle tremendous obstacles when they return to. schoo.l, says Useem. Usually their schooling has been inferior so they find it difficult to keep up, and they are no longer held ,in esteem by their peers as they were in the foreign country where they previously attended school. Out of 150 students sampled, however, according to Useem, only 12 did not know more than one language, and those 12 simply did not have the opportunity to learn another. They were either in the country fo.r o.nly a short period of time or they were in an English-speaking co.untry. ' Useem's research results indicate that no specific time element is involved in this cultural co.nversio.n. So.me children become part ,of. the third culture in a co.uple of weeks, and fo.r other children it takes severpl months if not years. ""::BARBARA MC INTOSH Community Chest campaign reaches:, 90,p,ercent of quota ,The annual Community Chest campaign has formally ended, with MSU reporting pledges amounting to $182,227, or 90.2 per cent o.f its quota of $202,000. The area-wide campaign yielded pledges totaling just over $2 million, o.r 95 percent of the quota of $2,180,000. A chest spokesman said that this year's drive was po.ssibly one of the , most difficult in recent years. John C. Howell, associate dean of human medicine and social science, and campus drive chairman,no.ted that MSU's campaign workers encountered some of the problems associated with the area drive. "Viewed in this light," he said, "I think we can take a measure of satisfaction in what has been achieved, with special recognition to those who. worked hard and long on the campus campaign." Howell said that mo.re contributio.ns are anticipated before the fmal campus 'report is issued in December. A campus report issued last week showed 12 of 28 units were over their quotas (the numbers in parentheses are percent of quota): University relatio.ns (153); Lyman Briggs Co.llege (114.6); human eco.logy (BOA); secretary's o.ffice (124.8); dormitories and food services (107.8); agriculture and natural resources (105.1); communication arts A new number for CES oific'e " The telephone , lil.uJIl~er for the Southeast Regional Office of the Continuing Education Service at Oakland has been changed to (313) 377-2180, effective this week.

"I think the JJByor is in a reasonably good position to keep the place from becoming completely polarized," he added. * * * ALTHOUGH THE MAYOR, as chain'nan of the council, has no more power than the other members, Brookover feels he can help bridge the town and gown gap by actions he takes IDs good for athletics Since winter term faculty-staff athletic passes have not yet been distributed, regular faculty-staff ID cards will be good for admission to this term's remaining intercollegiate sports events (basketball and hockey), according to Bill Beardsley, athletic ticket manager.

Listening Ear seeking funds ' >the Listening Ear, East Lansings crisis intervention center, is in the midst of a week~ong drive to collect funds of its next year's operation. The Ear, funded through donations and staffed by volunteers, has solicitors working today in downtown East Lansing, and Friday and Saturday on the campus and in the Meridian Mall. Persons wishing to donate can mail contributions to the Listening Ear, 547* E. Grand River, East Lang. at meetings in terms of recogmzmg speakers. He will also be at times the official spokesman for the council. "I 'am going to try to represent all groups within the city ,"Brookover said. ,"I don't agree on getting up and beating someone over the head, and acting like they are unnecessary and undesirable residents. "I don't think that living on the other side of Grand River or Burcham makes them evil," he added, "just like living in Shaw Hall doesn't make a person evil:' "They are all human beings. We have involve all segments of the to community and get input fro.m all different groups if we are to bridge this gap and maintain mutual \lnderstanding." , Immediate problems facing East Lansing include ho.using and mass transit, Brookover believes. He says he would like the council to pass the recommendations o.f the Joint Housing Committee as soon as the proposals are drawn into ordinance form by the city attorney, (News'- Bulletin, Oct. 28). This would establish, among other things, a permanent housing commissio.n for the city. * * * THE NEW MAYOR would also like to see the city develop a ''viable, unified mass transit system" for access to. and from campus. He says this system would solve some of the congestion that was the reason for the' proposed cross-campus highway. Brookover would also like to see the establishment o.f a public market in East Lansing. "Before the election I proposed that the planning co.mmissio.n study the idea o.f a public market for the city," he said. "This could provide resources that are not presently available. We don't have a good fruit market near downto.wn. We could have special days set up for arts, antiques, and so forth, to. serve a range of in terests and needs ' in the community." Although it's too early to be certain, ' ~,rookover doesn't think lUs job as mayor will increase his work load too much. "The council job over . the year involves two regular meetings a month and an average o.f one other meeting a week," he said. "I guess I spend about 10 hours a week on council duties, talking o.n the phone arid reading. "I did spend 10 minutes the other day during lunch signing papers," he added. ''Other co.uncilmen don't have to do that." With that remark, the phone rang and mayor . ~ . or professor . . . or associate director Brookover went back to work. - MIKE MANLEY Page 4, MSUNews-Bulletin, Nov. 18, 1971 "\ The Commission's Report: Maintain enrollm U n'dergraduate. programs Michigan State would remain at about its present size, and its primary responsibility would continue to be teaching large numbers of undergraduates, if recommendations of the Commission on Admissions and Student Body Composition become policy. . But juniors, seniors and graduate students would account for a larger proportion of the student body. For the most part, recommendations in the Commission's report confirm existing trends in size and enrollment mix. In recent years, the student body here has remained stable at about 40,000 and community college transfers have made junior and senior enrollment larger than lower division enrollment. At the same time graduate programs have experienced a steady growth. During its public hearings, the Commission heard from several educators who favored concentrating graduate and professional instruction in Michigan in th~ "A sizable undergraduate program provides economies of scale, making feasible more extensive libraries, research facilities, and staff to improve the quality of the academic climate. " state's three largest institutions: MSU, the University of Michigan and Wayne State University. Undergraduate education, they felt, should be the primary responsibility of community colleges and smaller state-supported four -year sghools. The Commission agreed that MSU should remain one?f .the three centers of graduate instruction, but at the same time should continue to put emphasis on undergraduate progr.ams. IN THE FIRST of 79 recommendations to President Wharton, the Commission advised keeping the MSU undergraduate student body at le'ast as large as the present one (33,616 this fall). ; "A sizable undergraduate program provides economies ofiicale," the Commission said, "making feasible more extensive libraries, research' facilities, and staff to improve the quality of the academic climate." The Commission did not rule out future growth of the University specifically noting that no flXed ceilings shoUld be set for total enrollment. But it did recommend that the size of academic units ShOlild be determined by the resources available, student and societal needs, and employment opportunities. Duplication of programs available at other schools in the state should be avoided. Flexibility in undergraduate programs should be protected, the Com1Jlission recommended. In addition to a large number of optionsa:vailable to entering freshmen and transfer students, freedom to change majors during the course of an academic career should continue in spite of the costs and complexities involved. * * * . , THE COMMISSION REJECTED the idea that rigid quotas should be applied in given majors, or that students be forced to select a major during their freshman year. With the growth of Michigan's community college network, pressure for admission to the freshman classes at four -year schools has eased. Many students, however, sho", up two years later as transfer students. ' The Commission acknowledged that plotting MSU's future could not be done in a vacuum-attention had to be given to its relationship with other colleges in the state, particularly community colleges. The thorny issu,e of admission to upper division levels was resolved by recommending that all students who successfully complete lower division requirements be guaranteed admission to some upper division program. And it was urged that MSU cooperate with other four-year institutions in the state to insure that qualified community college transfer students and students who complete their first two years at the senior institutions have equal access to upper division programs. ' In admitting freshmen, the University should prepare to serve an increasingly diverse student body, the Commission noted. t; Provost John Cantlon, President Wharton, Commission Director Ira Polley -Photo by Bill Mitcham "MSU should emphasize quality in its graduate programs and should control their expansion giving priority to those areas where there are important societal needs or where the University possesses unquestioned strength. " Graduate programs "There appears to be little doubt that a highly developed technological society cannot sustain itself without individuals ~ducated by graduate and graduate - professional programs," the :Admissions Comri:tission report says. "Furthermore, as the nation comes to face the problems caused by ?verp?~ulation, urban decay, po~ution~, ~~~ of natur~ resou~c~s" and. societal meqUltIes, graduate schools will be expected to tram specIalists Wlth new combinatins of knowledge and problem solving techniques," the report continues. But graduate programs are expensive and MSU, like every other institution of higher education, is faced with having to establish priorities in order to use its strained resources wisely. ]n the third of its 79 recommendations, the Commission suggested: "VdSU) shotild emphasize quality in its graduate programs and should control their expansion, giving priority to those areas where there are important societal needs OT where the University possesses unquestioned strength. New programs ... must b.e consistent with the needs and priorities of the departments involved and also with t hose of the U Diversity as a whole." GRADUATE SCHOOLS tbroughout the country underwent rapid growth in the 1960s, but thatperiodOf expansion is past, the report said. Graduate instruction in Michigan should be centralized in onJy a few public institut ions, the Commission said, to make more efficient use of resources, eliminate duplication o f effort,and cut down on the over- production ofPh.D.sin Some areas. Linked with graduate programs, according to most educational planners, are professi,onal schools, traditionally the most prestigious academic units of a university. In recent years, MSU has added the Colleges of Human Medicine and Osteopathic Medicine, and pressures have been applied fOr future programs in law, dentistry, pliarmacy and others. Commissioners get an education • • • (Concluded from page 1) to 38 percent lower division, 41 percent upper division and 21 percent graduate students (as offall, 1970). The Commission recommended some structural and administrative changes, such as centralizing all financial aids. Recommendations included proposals for a new advisory committee on graduate education,;, admissions,andlife-Iongeducation. , If efforts to irriprove interinstitutional cooperation among the state's 42 publictwo -and four-year colleges succeed, Michigan could become the first state to, develop statewide agreements for transfer 9f >l community college graduates.

BECAUSE OF THE complex interaction of needs and resources in graduate and professional programs, the Cormitission reCommended that President Wharton appoint a Committee on Graduate Educatidn to make a comprehensive review of graduate education here. . This committee would look at the decentralized administration of present graduate studies - allowing each department nearly autonomous control of its own to see if this arrangement is in the best interests of the University at a programs - time when priorities must be clearly defined and efftciency maximized. the role of graduate It was recommended that the committee pay speciftc attention to 11 other areas, including teaching and research assistants, possible implementation of doctor of arts and master of philosophy degree programs to prepare teachers for two - and four-year institutions, and the enrollment mix ofthe graduate student body. WHO WOULD ENROLL as graduate students at MSU? For the most part, students with superior undergraduate records who have demonstrated a sincere commitment to their particular academic or profesisonal ftelds - the same group that has historically gone to graduate schools. But to maintain Ii professed goal of widening the accessibility to MSU, and encouraging a more heterogeneous student body, the Commission recommended: "The School for Advanced Graduate Studies should establish and monitor an experimental program, in cooperation with the departments, for handling applicants at the· graduate level who, because of their economic, cultural or educational backgrounds or environment, have academic credentials that would not normally make them admissible, yet who show potential for academic success." The Commission emphasized that these students rriight need additional academic help in the course of their graduate studies, but would be required to meet the same high standards required of all candidat~§ f9,T advanced degrees he,re. In addition, the Commission urged' ibltan increased nuniber ofnrinority students be recruited for graduate programs, particularly in those areas where there is a demonstrated societal need for individuals with graduate tn~ining. ~ The disadvantaged When the Commission looked at past ~ttempts to make college a reality for those who couldn't meet its expense Qr Whose previous classr,oom experiences and personal. backgroumfs failed to properly prepare them, it wasn't satisfted. The Commission recommended that MStr admit and offer special assistance to greater numbers of economically and educationally disadvantaged students. In Commission discussions, working defmitions of both groups were devised. "Economically disadvantaged" refers to individuals with the credentials but not the money to get into college. "Educationally disadvantaged" are those who have academic potential, but who, because of their economic, environmental or educational background, would be unable to reach that potential without special assistance. Both the economically and educationally disadvantaged have been largely under-represented in institutions of higher education because of potent but subtle forces that kept them from applying. Insufftcient family income was the most visible barrier, but growing up in an environment where college was not considered a realistic ambition robbed many potential students of the motivation to seek higher education. Tbe Commission report says: "A determined commitment t o the principle of equity requires that what society has done to block development of the full potential of these groups, society must also labor to undo. "To honor this commitment, there will have to be changes in public attitudes about who should have access to higher education," the report continues," ... and in Members of the Commission Callow, Micltigan Association of Community Colleges; John Hoekje, ASSOCiation of Independent Colleges and Universities in Mjchigan; Ron JUISa, State Department of Education; BenLeyrer~ Michigan Assooi.ation or Secondary School principals.

PoJJard, professor of botany and plant , p~tliol~&y who served on the report draftiftg ' committee, acknowledged that 'thel Co~dks work did take more time than anticipated. But he attributed the extended time to the fact that commissioners ''were committed to our task, and we wanted to make sure that we would have the best possible report." C REA T ION 0 F THE Admissions Commission was approved by the Board of . Trustees on March 24, 1970. Ita Polley was named director on April 17, 1970, and members were named to the Commission on May 22, 1970. The group's flISt meeting was June 1, 1970. Six public hearings wer~ held last fall , and meetings of the full ' commission were conducted from Nov. 13, 1970, through July 23, 1971. The trustees reviewed a draft of the report on Sept. :19. 1971, and the final repQrt w:as released Tuesday (Nov. H:)). , ~ENE RIETFORS , , ' ' ·1 '~Ij.-. - Increased jacu:'tjLinput sought on p~"posals With severitl major educational polic) items before University decision-makin~ bodies, some faculty are becomin! concerned about their input on suet matters. Residential college evaluations proposed colleges of race and urbar affairs and in general education, th{ long-proposed law school-these an matters which have spurred facult} interest, particularly in the College oj Social Science. That college's advisory council sent representatives to a faculty steerin! committee meeting to request that the matter be discussed by the. Academic Council. They were instead referred tc the Educational Policies Committe{ (EPC). Decisions regardirtg "go or no go" on a new college ultimately rest with the Board of Trustees. Provost John Cantlon told the Academic Senate thi! week that academic units may provide input for such decisions through theil representatives to the EPC, which generally is consulted on college proposals through its advisory role to the provost. Once a college is approved by the Trust,ees, the academic program (curriculWJi) must be developed. The provost's office has developed a 12-step "flow chart" illustrating this procedure, from initiation of the program concept by the department and dean, through consulations, further development, consideration by certain faculty bodies (depending on the nature of the program, the Graduate Council or the Teacher Education Council could be required to consider and approve a proposal, but the University Curriculum Committee and the Academic Council would have to consider and approve any proposal). The flow chart then proceeds from the Academic Council to consideration and approval by the provost's office, the Board of Trustees and the State Board of Education. * * * BUT THE CURRENT CONCERN is for faculty input before the "go or no go" decision by the trustee~ Bernard Gal1in and John Hudzik, members of the social science advisory council, say faculty recognize the legal authority and public responsibilities of the trustees: They say the council asks only for a significant voice before the decision on a new colleie is made. In the past, Huazik says, some programs have been initiated with seemingly little faculty input. Three social science members of EPC-two former and one current member-have told the aavisory council that they don't know if they've had significant voice in such matters. sO the advisory council believes, Hudzik says, that regularized and broadened faculty input is one way to create a more effective decision-makirtg mechanism; Academic and curricular questions are involved in the first phase of the creation of new programs or colleges, Hudzik contends. When a new college or program is suggested, then academic or curricular field is being suggested, at least in , broad terms. Faculty expertise on the matter should be as relevant at this point as in the second phase of curricular planning (as outlined in the flow chart), he says. The social science advisory council will meet next week to summarize its position and then will request a meeting with the EPC. But the group hopes, Hudzik .says, to contirtue discussing the issue. - BEVERLY TWITCHELL F AFCC to m.ake reccom.m.endation on faculty salary inform.ation The Faculty Affairs and Faculty Compensation Committee (F AFCC) will recommend to the provost that faculty salary information be released to high, low, median and average salaries of each academic rank in each department, school and center. Names would not be included. Frederick Williams, professor of history and chairman of the FAFCC, indicated that the provost could relay this recommendation to the Board of Trustees at their meeting tomorrow. Seventy .. two percent of those who voted, voted for options against releasing salaries with names. Williams said that option number four on the ballot, which received the most votes and which has received the F AFCC support, provides all information the public would need or desire. Twelve - month appointments would be translated irtto 10 months for purposes of the release. Release is defined, Williams said, as availability to those who are interested in the information.
