Page 2-Thursday, June 7, 1979-The Michigan Daily Maekey likely to be named MSU (Continued from Page ) reported in the Lansing State Journal that he had a good relationship with the Texas legislature. But reports also described him as an inaccessible president who "leads through a good old boy's network." It was also reported that affirmative action and the minority attrition rate were major problems at Texas Tech which Mackey failed to solve. However, USF students and faculty were reportedly dissatisfied with Mackey during his 1971-76 tenure as president, particularly because of a poor affirmative action record. ACCORDING TO Tampa-area news clippings and sources at USF, Mackey's stay was marked by student unrest and campus turbulence. Mackey was responsible for changing the campus progressive rock station's format to classical and jazz, according to reports. He also allegedly wanted to remove the student newspaper from campus because he was concerned ab- out being liable for its editorial content. According to Florida law, the president of a state university is considered the student newspaper's publisher.

FACULTY MEMBERS frequently took "no confidence" votes in Mackey, according to a USF source who asked to remain unidentified. After Mackey took the presidential post at USF, he fired and reshuffled college deans, and allegedly replaced veteran academians with his own loyal supporters. Mackey also apparently felt USF of- fered courses which overlapped those listed in community colleges. He reorganized the USF academic program, and divided the liberal arts college into four separate sections. The source said Mackey preferred to em- phasize research and graduate education. He was nicknamed "Mackey the knife" soon after he arrived in Tampa, according to the USF source. Students also formed a "Dump Mackey" organization, the source said. ACCORDING TO one source, Mackey was more of a business manager than an educator, and tried to impose a cor- porate model on an'educational in- stitution. According to several accounts, Mackey was either loved or loathed by the people with whom he worked. USF Vice-President for University Relations Joe Busta praised Mackey for his accomplishments and dedication while at USF. "HE WAS TRULY an outstanding president," Busta said yesterday. "He had a great record of success, and helped give the university the direction that a young, growing institution needs.' Mackey was the university's second president. Busta cited the expansion of two more USF campuses and many building projects as examples of Mackey's dedication to USF. He also said Mackey worked well with the legislature, and the USF medical school was accredited more quickly than any other medical school in the nation. The years when Mackey reigned as president were "very good" according to Busta, who said campus turmoil in the early 1970s made Mackey's job dif- ficult. ONE USF INCIDENT drew much at- tention. In 1974 Equal Opportunity specialist Phyllis Hamm was made manager of insurance after she found instances of sex discrimination at USF which prompted a state investigation. president According to Hamm, Mackey told her she was transferred because the university was upgrading the job, and could not keep her on because she did not have a bachelor's degree. The incident inspired many student, faculty, and staff protests. Hamm said yesterday discriminatory conditions are about the same at the university now. She filed a suit in federal district court against the university, which is still pending. Another complaint was filed against the university through the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare in the same year by a dismissed Afro- American studies professor, Edward McDonald, who charged Mackey with racial bias. A SOURCE at Texas Tech said there is currently no real effort being made to recruit minority students, or to provide jobs and equal benefits to women and minorities at the university. The source attributed these conditions partly to the "very conservative" area of the coun- try. The source also said the "club-like system" by which Mackey runs the university "does not lend itself to af- firmative action."
