Higher ed 'in jeopardy,' forum says MAN (Continued from Page 1) the proposed'federal budget will be in the area of financial aid. If it is ap- proved, there will be a 12 percent aid reduction immediately, and a 62 per- cent reduction from present levels by the fall of 1983. Despite substantial tuition incre4ses, and declining financial aid Roach said applications for the University went up last year, 'and estimated that ap- plications will stay up, but emphasized the mix of students will be different. ANOTHER MEMBER of the panel, Eastern Michigan faculty member Marjorie Lansing, said that EMU is also experiencing a similar financial situation. "Higher education has become a leading political issue, Lansing said, "and we must get it back on the political agenda." She advocated several courses of action to aid the future of higher education in Michigan. "At the state level we must make higher education a political issue, and at the same time, we need to ask for more not less, in state aid," Lansing said. "IT APPALLS me that leaders in higher education are pushing vigorously downsizing and cost- effectiveness programs. We should be emphasing the legitimate, significant place of higher education in the fun- ctioning of the state of Michigan." She added that "education has become more political in the past year than it has been since Sputnik." Roach said he agreed with Lansing's assessment of the importance of the education issue in the political arena. "This is an important political issue-all of our institutions of higher education are in jeopardy.", Roach emphasized the significance of research in the University's overall budget picture, but added that "the research income has grown only at the rate of inflation for the past ten years." Roach advocated the possibility of Ann Arbor being an ideal site for robotics development, saying that all studies in- dicate that high technology is the way to go. ROACH WARNED that in addition to affecting students and research, Reagan's proposed budget would critically affect the faculty. Roach said that over the last ten years, salaries are up only 6.5 percent, and that this represents a real wage decline.
