Poge Six THE MICHIGAN DAILY Tuesday, May 20, 1975 Poge Six THE MiCHIGAN DAILY Tuesday, May 20, 1975 Faculty salary hike predicted (Continued from Page 3) HOWEVER, the Administra- tion followed, in November, with a proposed 13.23 per cent em- ployment compensation increase which was subsequently ap- proved by the Board of Regents. Although Hymans does not ex- pect a faculty salary increase in the double-figure range, he said, "I'm not as pessimistic as those who thought that the total increase wouldn't be over two or three per cent." He supported his optimism by indicating that the University has fiscal autonomy and regard- less of what the state allocates in its upcoming bill, the Uni- versity has full authority in dispersing the funds. "PRESIDENT F l e m i n g as well as other administrators are consistently arguing for the 13.23 per cent increase," Hy- mans asserted. The S e n a t e Appropriations Committee is, according to Hy- mans, "satiated with adminis- trative suggestions." He views the fact that the committee would like to hear more recom- mendations from the faculty as an encouraging indication in the faculty's favor. "We are falling behind in be- ing able to attract and keep first-rate faculty . . . faculty quality will deteriorate and with it the excellence of the aca- demic aspect of this University as well," Hymans concluded. ALSO AT the Senate Assem- bly meeting, Fleming reiterated the same defense of the Admin- istration's actions during the Cobb affair that he delivered to the Board of Regents last Friday. Declaring, "I prefer that this subject disappear in the fu- ture," Fleming appeared to want to close the case that has fueled so much controversy during the last five months. In his defense, Fleming hit the findings section of the Af- firmative Action Committee's review of the Administration's treatment of black woman edu- cator Jewel Cobb for the literary college (LSA) deanship last January. COUNTERING the report's suspicion that neither he nor Academic Affairs Vice Presi- dent Frank Rhodes seriously considered Cobb's candidacy, Fleming argued that at least three Regents had criticized him for not stating his prefer- ence for acting LSA dean Billy Frye strongly enough. Fleming indicated that a De- partment of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) investiga- tion of the Cobb affair prompted him to break his long silence on the case. He declared his refusal to allow HEW to exam- ine the findings section as truth unchallenged. THE CHICAGO Civil Rights Office of HEW has requested in- formation on the Cobb affair as part of its ongoing monitoring of the University's affirmative action plan. However, it is not specifically investigating t h e Cobb case, according to high Washington HEW official Barry Anderson. According to Ander- son, the employment discrimin- ation complaint filed in Feb- ruary by the Black Faculty and Staff Association and the Wo- men's Commission has been re- ferred to the Equal Employ- ment Opportunity Commission.
