The Hillel at the Univer- sity of Michigan was among a second tier of 16 whose funding was cut 20 percent (from $73,500 to $58,800). Michigan State Hillel was not cut this year, but expects to be affected by next year's decrease. Rabbi Finkelman said he had been closely involved with the evaluation process and "the international organization on its own reached the conclusion that the new job description would be significantly diff- erent." But Metro Detroit Hillel board president Kurt Singer does not agree that major changes are automatic. With the loss of funding, "the cost of whatever we are doing will be borne by us, not by the international," he said, and the local board is not ready to make a quick deci- sion. "In the remaining six weeks of Rabbi Finkelman's contract, we'll have to decide what kind of adjustments to make," Mr. Singer said. Long-term changes may de- pend on the personnel available, he said. Despite Rabbi Finkelman's resignation, Mr. Singer was upbeat and determined. "We will find a way to continue what we are doing. We know we will find the funds." Metro Hillel, Michigan and Michigan State received substantial increases this year from the Jewish Fed- eration of Metropolitan Detroit: • Metro Hillel has a $160,000 total budget. It in- cluded $73,600 from Federa- tion (an increase from $68,600 the previous year). • Michigan Hillel has a $600,000 budget, which in- cludes the $58,000 from International Hillel and $156,400 from Federation ($138,800 last year). • Michigan State Hillel has a $180,000 budget, in- cluding $23,000 from the international and $90,500 from Federation (up from $78,000). But Federation is unlikely to make increases for next year. It asked all recipients of Allied Jewish Campaign funds to request no more than 95 percent of this year's allocations. Funding re- quests will not be considered until Federation completes its Days of Decision cam- paign the first week in June. One Hillel insider said the cuts to Metro Hillel were based on declining numbers of Jewish students at Wayne and the belief that the local Jewish community could pick up the shortfall through fund-raising. The University of Mich- igan has between 5,000 and 6,000 Jewish students. Michigan State has an estimated 1,500-2,000 ac- cording to Hillel director Mark Finkelstein. Wayne State, according to Rabbi Finkelman, has 300 Jewish students, mostly in the law and medical schools. He said LTU has an estimated 80 Jewish students, OU 200, and esti- mates for OCC Orchard Ridge range from 200 to 1,000. Metro Hillel services a fraction of those students directly, Rabbi Finkelman said, but also serves the four campuses and their Jewish faculty members by sponsor- ing speakers, countering Arab propaganda and serv- ing as a Jewish spokesman on campus. Fund-raising efforts will be upgraded locally and internationally, according to Rabbi William Rudolph, as- sociate international direc- tor in Washington. "We are facing a restructured fiscal future," he said. The international has ap- pointed former Detroiter Martha Schlesinger to head the fund-raising effort. Rabbi Rudolph said the total budget for Hillel foun- dations around the country is $17 million from all sources. "But we need $31- 32 million to do it right." He said, "The Jewish community is beginning to look at the challenge of the campus." The Council of Jewish Federations has ap- pointed a task force to study the situation. ❑ U-M - Israel Continued from Page 1 "We see this as another way the school can make a direct impact on international economic development at this pivotal time in history." Designed to become a leading center on market economies, the Davidson Center will act as a partner with the business school. The $30 million gift will be given by Mr. Davidson's Guardian Industries over 20 years at $1.5 million a year. Frank Wilhelme, assistant business school dean and di- rector of development, said he does not know when more specific plans will be unveil- ed. No institute director has been hired. No programs —
