MSU Faculty Proposes
Jewish Studies Unit

MICHELLE COHEN

Special to The Jewish News

A

bout 20 Michigan
State University prof-
essors attended a
preliminary meeting earlier
this month to discuss the
organization of a Jewish
studies program on campus.
"Jewish studies programs
exist at dozens and dozens of
universities across the United
States," said English Pro-
fessor Barry Gross, who heads
the development of the
program.
"It's an academically
respectable field. It doesn't
matter as much what the
Jewish population is at MSU.
Courses in Jewish studies are
just as important for non-
Jews as for Jews!"
MSU now has a thematic
program which offers 12
classes in different depart-
ments. "The program is
dependent on the willingness
of other departments allow-
ing professors to develop
Jewish studies courses,"
Gross said. "The courses
become a part of their regular
teaching schedule.
"The program's been cobbl-
ed together by courses from
other departments. It lacks a
core. We want to put an order
to a Jewish studies program!"
A student who completes
the thematic program will
not have proof of his ac-
complishment unless he goes
through a series of steps
which eventually lead to a
formal statement on his
transcript.
Although Gross and his
committee, consisting of 23
faculty members, say it's too
early to have an estimated
cost for the program, they
hope to have their ideas com-
pletely developed by the end
of the academic year.
"We need to continue grow-
ing on the goodwill of
disciplinary departments,"
Gross said. "This program
needs to meet the educational
needs of all students at MSU.
An organized Jewish studies
program will produce visibili-
ty and Jewish presence on
campus. That's extremely
valuable in reaching all kinds
of people!'
The committee hopes the
new program will include a
film series, a lecture series,
conferences, more courses and
student and faculty exchange
programs. In addition, Gross
said the program needs
money for supplies, sta-
tionary, a secretary and a full-
time director.

"If you're not a department,
you lose the chance for that
funding (from the universi-
ty)," Gross said.
"In my own mind, a natural
source of funding is the
Jewish Welfare Federation.
This is a legitimate request
since many of our Jewish
students come from the
Detroit area!"
However, the Federation
will not fund a developing
program, according to Larry
Ziffer, planning director of
Federation. They will grant
funds for existing programs.
"Federation wouldn't take
money from its own funds to
support a whole program,"
Ziffer said. "But, we'd be will-
ing to work with a donor or
the university?'
Although Gross has not yet
gone to the Federation for

help, efforts were made two
years ago to start a Jewish
studies department.
Dr. Mordecliai Kreinin, pro-
fessor of economics, wanted to
establish an endowment fund
to support a Jewish studies
department. He spent 11/2
years trying to contact
supporters.
"I just couldn't get to first
base," Kreinin said. "Parents
worry about their kids'
Jewish identity when they
come to Michigan State. But,
if they're not willing to do
anything, they shouldn't be
surprised if their children
lose their Jewish identity
when they come here.
"If the Jewish community
in Detroit is going to spend
zero money at MSU which
has 2,500 Jewish students
and zero Jewish visibility,
they're going to get what they
bargained for."
Although MSU has a Hillel
house, it does not attract a
majority of the students.
"Students will not normal-
ly come to a lecture, unless
it's a part of a course and they
are receiving credit," Gross
said. "We cannot depend on
students to be educated
through Hillel."
Kreinin emphasized that
Hillel is located off campus
and students need Jewish
visibility on campus.
"At the University of
Michigan and Wayne State
University, there are already
