Page 2-Friday, November 16, 1979-The Michigan Daily Salaries on the way o a Buckeyes for Breakfast P ;e& Faculty salary disclosure deadli, By ALISON HIRSCHEL Time is running out for the University to release name-linked salary infor- mation to the public, under a new amendment to the state Freedom of In- formation Act. Two area newspapers - the Michigan Daily and the Detroit Free Press --have asked that the University provide all available salary data. According to state law, which went into immediate effect when it was signed by Lt. Gov. James Brickley on Oct. 26, the University must release salary information to any individual or organization who asks for it. THE UNIVERSITY must respond to each written request within five business days, and may extend that period to ten days if unforeseen cir- cumstances develop, said Rick Gar- tner, a lawyer in the Attorney General's office. Interim University President Allan Smith said yesterday that if the Regen- ts approve the release of name-linked faculty salary figures, the data will be ready by early next week. The Daily hand-delivered its request on Monday, according to Editor-ins Chief Susan Warner, while the Free Press asked for the names and num- bers last Friday in a letter addressed to Smith. No other organizations have officially expressed an interest in the infor- mation, according to staff members in the office of Richard Kennedy, secretary to the University. THE DAILY requested any available salary information, Warner said. The Free Press asked specifically for the name, job title, base salary, race, sex, and date of hiring of all faculty mem- bers, according to a Free Press repor- ter. The University Board of Regents is scheduled to discuss salary disclosure at its monthly meeting today. The ze nearing Board will have to decide the form in which the information is to be released' at that time. If the University fails to respond to each request within the five-day period,, a lawsuit could be brought against the,: University, Gartner said. "It is Attor- ney General (Frank) Kelley's policy. that such matters are best handled by the courts, and not this office," Gartner explained. The individual or group bringing suit would be reimbursed for" their legal expenses, Gartner added. If a suit were brought against the- University, Gartner said he expected the result would be a court order to release the information. He said he did not believe the University would be fined.

"My idea is that the administration will write the plan, the Board will respond to it, and then we will send it out to the community. Once we have the community's reaction, the Board will vote on it," said Dannemiller. In June 1979, the Michigan Depar- tment of Education notified the Ann Arbor School district that six of the district's 26 elementary schools did not meet state racial balance guidelines. This racial imbalance finding prom- pted the formation of a desegregation policy. THE STATE'S guidelines specify that the percentage of a school's enrollment in any individual racial group cannot be greater than 15 per cent above or below the student percentage for that racial group in the district as a whole. .*eoi4O In yesterday's Daily, Vicky Rowles of. the People's Action Coalition (PAC) a candidate for the LSA student gover- nment executive council, was incorrec- tly identified as Lucille Rowles. bscribe 5oday 4-0558 i ommoli I Attention Junior and Seniors: Graduate Study in Public Policy Professional Degree Program MR.

I z plans Board members discussed various strategies for developing a plan, and stressed the importance of attaining in- creased educational opportunity in the development of any plan to improve racial imbalance. "We have to set aside the racial per'- centages, look at the six plans and ask what we see that looks like a educational gain," said Board member John Heald. THE BOARD ALSO discussed the re- examination of district boundaries. School Board Vice President Joseph Vaughn said the Board should "look as, the boundaries as a first step." The Board hired Ecotran, a computer. transportation firm, toassit it with the boundary issue, according to. Dan-, nemiller. It will conduct interviews in the districts and design census maps. that will provide the Board with infor- mation on the type of 'students who reside in those areas. Ecotran wil) be ready with this in- formation by December 10, and will. write a boundary program as soon as the Board knows what it wants, accor- ding to Dannemiller. STRESING THE need for direction in developing a plan, Board member JohnR Powell said the Board should commit itself to a specific policy before it. proceeds. "Unless we know where we're heading, we can deal with all kin ds of plans and make no headway,". said Powell. "The Board has to state what it really believes Mi before they' develop a plan." Adding another perspective to the' discussion of increased educational op- " portunities, Letty Wickliffe and Frani" ces Dyan outlined their district-wide plan to help all students with learning problems associated with language skills. They emphasized the need for citizen involvement in developing a plan and criticized the narrow scope of4 the emergency King School plan.
