By SHARON WEINER
Eventual independence from the
University and immediate expan-
sion to a four-year college are
among the key recommendations
of the special study committee on:
the future of the University's
Dearborn campus.3
The report, released June 12, is
presently under consideration byy
the University's executive officers.
The student-faculty-community
committee was established last No-
vember by Vice President for State'
Relations and Planning Arthur
Ross.
"Although the committee was
asked to base its study on the as-
sumption that the Dearborn Cam-
pus would remain an integral part:
of the University, the committee
found no strong reason for an in-
definite continuance of this pol-
icy." the report states.
The committee recommended
that a detailed five-year plan,'
consistent with the recommenda.
tions of the report, be formulated;
to prepare the campus for inde-
pence as a state university.
During this five year period, the,
campus should strive to become a
