Jewish studies as a serious academic
course — which makes my students
interesting and challenging."
Is Mission Possible?
Wayne has turned what many consider
a liability into a strength. It does not
ignore its urban, diverse population —
often motivated, serious and with an
enriched perspective.
"We have a non-traditional student
base," Gladstone says. "The median age
of a WSU student is 27.8 years old.
They often don't complete school in
four years. We educate students raising
families, working, and with other obliga-
tions ... So we have different challenges."
Challenges that the state should sup-
port — but doesn't, says WSU Board
of Governors President Annetta Miller,
of Huntington Woods.
"It's well-known," Miller says, "that
being in Detroit puts us at a disadvan-
tage as far as the state legislature and
governor [John Engler] is concerned.
WSU doesn't get the amount of
money it should get for a multicultur-
al university in a mixed area that is
still somewhat financially depressed.
"We can't increase our tuition to
meet demands. We have students who
can't afford our
tuition rate. Yet
our graduates
will enrich the
entire state."
"Wayne is an
important center
for diversity,"
says Jewish
Federation's
Aronson.
"What's also
Robert Aronson
neat, is that
Wayne has to try
harder. It doesn't have the same image
and funds as a University of Michigan.
And the people at WSU are ready and
willing to try out new projects."
By reaching out to the Jewish corn-
munity and others, President Reid is
steadily moving his global vision for-
ward. He believes it begins with the
city and the cultures that enrich it.
"The city center used to be the cen-
ter of civilization," he says, "and it's
here at Wayne we have the opportuni-
ty to teach what happens in an urban
environment."
WSU served past Jewish generations
well. Their memories not only tell the
story of a Jewish community but of
Detroit and of mid-century America.
What stories will the next generation
tell about the city, its university and its
Jewish community? ❑
