The Ackley report identified several areas within the, school that were deficient and needed improvement. Since then some of the recommendations have been implemented, but some have not. Part of the purpose of a new review will be to examine why certain recommen- dations were not implemented and to identify the future direction of the school. s- Natural Foods Restaurant serves you I A 1981 budget conference report iden- tified several areas that would require special support, including interdepar- tmental programs, foreign student needs, minority student needs, and student financial aid. Foreign students were identified as a x "special concern" because ad- ministrators maintain that U.S. ap- plications are decreasing and foreign applications are increasing. This is primarily an administrative budget review. Admissions, Student Af- fairs, Graduate Academic Records, and the Office of Non-Academic Career Counseling and Placement will all be scrutinized for cuts. Institute for the Study of Mental Retardation and Related Disabilities The Institute for the Study of Mental Retardation and Related Disabilities- one of the first units targeted for review-was the first unit to complete the review process. The recommen- dation is elimination. The University Regents will decide this fall whether the institute will un- dergo complete elimination as recom- mended by the Budget Priorities Com- mittee and its review subcommittee. WITH A 1981-82 budget of $290,000 funded through the Office of the Vice- President for Academic Affairs, the in- stitute provides a direct link to com- munity organizations involved in job skills development, testing and evaluation, health interests, and tran- sient programs for the mentally han- dicapped. In addition, it is one of the few university-related mental retardation research centers in the nation and the only one in1 Mchigan. Administrators cited continuing problems in administration of the program which they say may have resulted in the loss of a major federal grant last year. They also say that the quality of research has not been adequate. In rebuttal, Institute Director Her- bert Grossman said that subcommittee members did not conduct a thorough review of the institute and that they ap- proached the review with a precon- ceived recommendation of closure. 3 Representatives of several com- munity agencies differed in their evaluation of the institute's programs, some calling the institute a "mixed bag" with some programs rating ex- cellent and others poor. Center for the Continuing Education of Women The Center for the Continuing Education -of Women (CCEW) was targeted for a special review earlier this year, and is the first unit under a five-year plan review to come out in- tact. The Center already was due for a regular programmatic review when the five-year plan began last spring. But Vice President for Academic Affairs Billy Frye said he expected"the center to undergo a budget review im- mediately following the conclusion of the first study. THE PANEL that first looked at the center, however, recommended in July that the center be continued without undergoing a second review. Frye ac- cepted the committee's recommen- dation. The center has a 1981-82 academic year budget of $237,000 and distributes $41,000 in scholarships earmarked for program participants. The center spon- sors a wide range of programs in- cluding special evening classes for working women, seminars, academic support, and workshops. After announcing the review, ad- ministrators received letters indicating great support for continuation of the center, which was created in 1964. Sup- porters turned out for Regents' meetings and public forums and met with administrators. THE REVIEW subcommittee' was charged with evaluating the center to determine whether it had kept pace with society's changes since its concep- tion and whether its services are duplicated by already existing Univer- sity units. CCEW will now be classified with units that are not under review and will be subjected to a yearly review for budget cuts of up to 15 percent along with most other University units. CCEW is classified as a non- academic unit-one that does not offer a degree or credit courses.' In accepting the recommendations of the review committee, Frye called the evaluation one of the most thorough he has seen. "The important thing is that this report has been accepted," said Jean Campbell, CCEW director.

The qIestion is will others be able to follow in her footsteps at the University ' Institute for the Study of Labor and Industrial Relations The Institute for the Study of Labor and Industrial Relations, a non- academic unit, received a 1981-82 general fund allocation of $308,614-all in salaries and wages. ILIR holds workshops, seminars, and conferences dealing with labor and labor-related issues including unem- ployment, unionizations, cultural, and job forecasts. IN ADDITION, ILIR conducts basic research for several national and governmental units including the Department of Labor and the Nationale Institute of Mental Health. Administrators targeted the institute for review of its quality and centrality. Subcommittee members have looked at whether some of its responsibilities have shifted to other University units and whether there were compelling reasons not to close ILIR. ILIR staff members have mounted a campaign to inform and mobilize community support for its programs through forums and letters. COMMUNITY response has been overwhelming in support of the in- stitute with letters and resolutions from the Detroit City Council, Michigan House of Representatives, and such well-known labor leaders as Leonard Woodcock. The institute recently received several grants from the U.S. Depar- tment of Labor to conduct unem- ployment research. Originally a joint effort with the In- stitute for Labor and Industrial Relations at Wayne State University, administrators recommended and the Regents approved a split between the two school last year. ILIR celebrated its 25th anniversary this year. NEED TEXTBOOKS? =WE'RE ( WHY GO OUT OF YOUR WAY? )RIGHT ab _.-- t..-"--- "-- .ON J y -CAMPUS r- c rvc. 8496G.
