NEW COMPLAINT
PROBE chiarges bias at U'
(Continued from Page 11
paid considerably less than a man
performing the same duties, the
discrimination involved was not
considered "overt, willful" dis-
crimination, and thus she lost her
case.
This definition of discrimina-
tion has not been used in Michi-
gan or federal law in over thirty
years. Instead, the lawful defi-
nition simply defines discrimi-
nation as a case in which one in-
dividual is paid considerably less
than another who is performing
the same job.
PROBE has criticized the Uni-
versity for its "inadequate proce-
dures" for examining sex dis-
crimination cases. Under present'
*procedures, a person must first
present her case to a "review by
management" - held by her sup-
ervisors, against whom the com-
plaint is usually lodged.
After the management review, a
case may be appealed under a spe-
cial appeal procedure which is
used only in cases of alleged dis-
crimination.
Such a review is carried out by
a three-person board - one se-
lected by the complainant from a
group chosen by Fleming, another
chosen by the complainant's sup-
ervisor, and the third chosen by
the first two members.
According to PROBE'S com-
plaint, the appeal procedure is
not equitable because the com-
plainant may select only one of
the board members - one chosen
from a group selected by Fleming
which is composed predominately
of white male full professors.
According to Nordin, the appeal
Court rules Legislature

procedure is "fairly good." She
stresses that more members, in-
cluding women, are currently be-
ing added to the group chosen by:
Fleming.
But this, she adds, doesn't ade-t
quately counteract the fact that
many women don't want to go
through the management review,
in order to get to the appeal pro-
cedure.
"Women are strongly frowned
upon by their supervisors for mak-
ing complaints," she said.
The PROBE complaint cites the
University retirement program as
another example of sex discrimi-
nation.
The program, for professional,
academic and administrative staff,
pays women retirement benefits
which are consistently lower than
those paid to men.
According to Jack Hamilton, di-
rector of University relations, this,,
is because women live longer than
men. Therefore, in order that the
same amount of money be allo-
cated per person after retiremnent,
the annual rate for women is less
than that for men.
However, PROBE points out. no
differentiation is made for ethnic!I
groups which have different life
' expectancies than whites.
Other charges made by PROBE
include:
-The ratio of female professors
to the total number of professors
is projected to increase over a
three-year period by only 2.1 pet
cent, which seems insignificant in'
view of the University's public
commitment to "vigorously re-
cruit" women; and
-As of May 24, the University
had already promoted a much
' higher percentage of males than
they had projected, while the per-
centage of promotions for women
was much lower.

ment on the ground rules for state
control. I'm glad to see this clari-'
fication so that the Legislature
can't go any further."
Smith said that over the past
100 years, all questions of Univer-
sity autonomy from state control
have been decided in favor of the
University. 1
"After the new (state) constitu-
tion was drawn up in 1963." he
said, "the ground rules had to be
laid again. That's why the suit
was pursued."
IAi the late sixties, concern over
funds and student unrest led the
Legislature to attach a number of
stipulations to appropriations bills.
Those provisions, now removed by
Salmon's ruling said:
-Universities with out-of-state
enrollments totalling over 20 per
cent of their student body couldE
not increase the numbers or per-
centages of out-of-state students
over the 1969-70 totals;
-Out-of-state students must
pay tuition equal to approximately
75 per cent of the cost of their
instruction;
-No state funds may be used
to pay a faculty member or edu-
cate a student convicted ofinter-
fering with the normal operations
of the University; and
-Students causing willful dam-
age to campus property were to be
expelled.
Salmon said that the "line item"
budgeting process - in which ap-
propriations are broken down into
allocations for individual Univer-
sity units, could not be required of
the three universities.
Once money is appropriated, he
said, it may be spent as the uni-
versities see fit, except for rea-
sonable legislative restrictions.
Salmon, however, upheld sec-
tions which required the universi-
ties to provide the Legislature with
budget information, as long as the:
restrictions don't interfere with
normal university operations.
Commenting on information
made available last night, Univer-
sity Attorney Roderick Daane said,.
"It sounds like the University has
won."
However, Daane said he wished
to study the ruling as "there are
a couple of ideas I can't reconcile."
"If the judge says the Legisla-
ture can attach stipulations, well,
that's what the suit is all about."
Smith ,said the ruling "would
not cause a marked change" im-
mediately.
Fee levels, he said, had always
been determined by a differential
for out-of-state and in-state stu-
dents. Enrollment levels, he added,
have been the result of decisions
in the schools and colleges.
Although restrictions on capital
outlay would be maintained, Smith
said, "We've been able to worl
quite well, except for the fact that
there are no funds available tc
build."

"You are going to energize the
11 million new voters to rip-off a
piece of power from the white
male power structure," Rep. Bella
Abzug (D-N.Y.) told the crowd.
"And you are going to defeat
Richard Nixon - if you put your
strength together with women,
blacks, chicanos, Puerto Ricans
and all people who were victimized.
by Nixon's corporate economic pol-
icies," she said.
Yet, less than 24 hours after
Abzug's speech, the black caucus
had left the conference in protest
and the mass plenary sessions had
bogged down with disagreements
and dissension.
This left less than 500 students
to complete the formation of the
caucus Sunday morning.
The conference's breakdown
came as students and various mi-
nority groups began objecting to
the broad nature of the confer-
ence. The black caucus urged the
body's adoption of several de-.
mands, one which called for 50
per cent of the students seated on
all NYC committees to be non-
white. In addition, many delegates
pressed for the body's considera-
tion of specific issues such as
abortion reform or the legalization
of marijuana.
Yet, the organizers of the con-
ference-who included the leaders
of the Association of Student Gov-
ernments (ASG) and supporters of
