The School of Education is the largest of the three, with 1,494 students, 95 staff members, and a budget of $5,780,000. The School of Art is the smallest, with 581 students, 33 staff members, and a budget of $1,384,000, while the School of Natural Resources has 853 students, 41 staff members, and a budget of $2,295,000. These examinations, along with the previously announced budgetary reviews of three University institutes, are all part of the administration's con- troversial five year plan to make shifts totaling $20 million in the University's general fund budget, taking money from some units and giving it to others. The Institute for Labor and Industrial Relations, the Institute for the Study of Mental Retardation and Related Disabilities, and the Center for the Con- tinuing Education of Women have all been named for reviews and possible major cutbacks. FRYE SAID that the administration has set no range for the possible cut- backs in the units. He said it is possible they may be eliminated entirely or, then again, they may escape cutbacks altogether. "At this point, the initiation of a review means only that enough questions have been raised to warrant examinations of the possibility of significant program changes and budgetary savings," Frye said. Frye also said the administration will work closely with the deans and faculty members of the various schools during the reviews. "The questions to be asked in the reviews will be communicated to the members of the units concerned and the University community," Frye said. Most deans and faculty members contacted from the schools said they were not surprised that their units were selected. Some even welcomed the reviews. SCHOOL OF Education faculty School of Education (The Eclihigan 19atIVy UMMER UBLET UPPLEMENT face budge members accepted the review at a meeting yesterday with a certain degree of optimism. "We feel confident the review will be positive," said Dean Joan Stark. "We welcome the review as a chance to show our excellence to the Univer- sity," said natural resources Prof. Douglas Mackinnon. "Excellence is not a guarantee of survival, but that's our record and we stand on it." Associate Dean Wendel Heers of the art school, however, had a different reaction to the announcement. Cutting art is a typical reaction, Heers said. "The public schools, when they need money, always cut art and music first. I thought the University would be dif- ferent. " Prof. Loren Baritt of the education school sought a parallel between Univers. The schools:A The announcement yesterday that The School of Education was up for a major program review came as little surprise to many of the school's faculty members. Rumors of such a review had been floating around the old University High School buildingwhere the education school is housed-for many months. Now the big question is how the review committee will respond to the restructuring program the school already has begun to implement. After Dean Joan Stark informed the faculty. of the impending review at a meeting yesterday, the faculty ap- proved a reorganization plan that will consolidate the school's 12 existing programs and one department into six separate divisions. - Stark said the plan will decrease the number of full-time faculty members School of Art Wendel Heers, associate dean for the School of Art, was at a loss last night to understand why his eight-year-old unit has been targeted for a major budgetary review. "We wish it wasn't happening,"" he said. "But it's a typical reaction. When public schools need money, they cut art and music first. I guess I thought the University would be different." The history of the University's School of Art is a sh6rt one, beginning with its I review budget cuts and those currently going on in Washington. "With the ad- ministration in Washington's moves on education and the central ad-. ministration here, after a while, you begin to get a little paranoid," he said. "THINK ABOUT these cuts in the context of our times. I don't see the signs as being favorable toward public education," Barritt added. Many faculty members expressed a similar concern. A need to justify their discipline seemed prevalant among all those contacted. "We would be most concerned with demonstrating the validity of what we study," said Julie Knittel, an art student and the president of the Ann Arbor Industrial Designers Society of America. Lbrief reviw from 73 to 60 in the next five years. Tihe school will need to add four or five. faculty members, however, to meet the demands of certain areas, Stark said. "We've been planning for this review in a way," said Ted Wilson, editor of the school's magazine, "The Innovator." "We've been able to take advantage of external (budget) pressures to make some internal changes." The school has seen a significant enrollment decline in recent years as a, result of program constraints and lack of interest among students for going into teaching as a career, school officials said. With recent increases 'in birth rates, however, the demand f*r elementary school teachers will rise and the School of Education will have to meet those needs, Wilson said. For now, the faculty is preparedtv. meet the review "in a very positive manner," Stark said. "A review com- mittee may see we need additional fun ds to keep a strong program." -Barry Wilt split from the former School of Art and. Architecture back in 1974. The decision to separate the two schools, Heers said, came as "a natural progression of things." "Think of it as an amiable divorce settlement," Heers said. "Both parties were pleaded with the arrangement. " Heers said that the School recently had "no problem" being accredited by the National Association of Art Schools. "We have very promising students," Heers said. "I'm sure the school ranks among the top ten nationally." -Janet Rae ture-have consistently been called the best in the nation, according to retired Natural IResources Prof. Archibald Cowan. "On a national ranking, we're a very strong School. It's certainly one of the top five in the country," Cowan said. But faculty members also recognize that their excellent reputation miay. provide no guarantee of safety during A review, according to Prof. Ronald Drobney, who said he is approaching the review cautiously. "Geography was excellent, too," Drobney said. "We hope we're not going to be put out in the cold like geography." --Julie Hinds ONLY $14 Absolutely No Ads Will Be Accepted After March 19 Make checks payable to the MICHIGAN DAILY Mail or bring in person to 420 Maynard Street Action Sportsear FACTORY CLOSEOUTS Swi mwear, Footwear, Bodywear * Supplement will appear Friday, March 26, 1982 * l. 406 E.
