By MARTH tSEVETSON FLINT - Every autumn, the University's budget request stresses what it wants from the state. But this year, the budget request is different. University officials are highlighting what it gives back to the state. "The people of Michigan have got to understand what they are get- ting for their investment in the Uni- versity of Michigan," said Univer- sity Regent Thomas Roach (D- Saline). "We do a tremendous amount of things. The problem is that a lot of people don't know we're doing it." Within two weeks, Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost James Duderstadt was able to com- pile a list of more than 200 public srie sprojects sponsored by the writing programs at state high 'U im o schools, research projects to help General Motors plants, and local en- vironmental programs. "This is just a sampling of short vignettes that represent the diversity of ways we serve the state of Michi- gan," Duderstadt told the Univer- sity's Board of Regents. "Fewer than 10 percent of the units have reported in.". Duderstadt said the impetus to compile the list came from concern among the regents that stringent economic policies in the early 1980s cut back the University's commu- nity service programs. The need to emphasize such pro- grams grew more intense last sum- mer as state legislators became con- cerned that the University was not fulfilling its role as a state institu- University officials deny that a direct connection between the public service list and the conflict over out- of-state enrollment levels exists, but acknowledge that the report is in- tended to smooth state relations that were ruffled in June. "Our case has not been well-made in the the past to the legislature about all of the things the Univer- sity does for the state," said Regent Paul Brown (D-Petoskey). "We at- tract a lot of talent and brain power to the state of Michigan, much of which stays here." Univrity official agree that the important asmtheufate' rneconomy technology and service industries. "Michigan will become even1 more dependent, we believe, on the technology of its research institu- tions," Duderstadt said. Roach agreed, "(The University) is an investment. This is the way Michigan is going to be great for our children and grandchildren." Once the final list is completed, Duderstadt said he will publish it on MTS, the University's computer message system. PRE-LAW DAY Academic Afairs an Provost James Duderstadt explained the University's rationale for its current residency mix. The regents will use Duder- stadt's final report - which will be released in about seven weeks - as a framnework for the their position during the committee discussions. Duderstadt said the enrollment ra- tio has not significantly changed in the history of the University. Al- though out-of-state enrollment de- creased when Michigan's population surged during the baby boom, the current ratio of 36 percent non-resi- dents is "not surprising," he said. Regent Paul Brown (D-Petoskey) agreed. "I think that legislators tend to react to whatever percentage you say as being too high," he said. "But if they think about it and get a his- torical perspective on it, they'll see our percentage is what ir has always been." teringthe nn-esident enrollmen ity of the studa oyI is our be lief that a shift in out-of-state en- rollment by one to two percent will have an impact on the quality of our incoming class," he said. pIn addition, Duderstadt said that out-of-state students are not subsi- dized by state funds; they pay their own costs through higher tuition rates. Limiting the number of non- residents enrolled would not reserve Bron aidta u-fstaefn- ing - from tuition and research grants - makes the University "the best investment" the state can make. "We attract two dollars from out-of- state for every dollar the state gives us," he said. "No other college in the state does anything like that." University officials agree that if the University did accept more in- state students, the declining number of Michigan high school graduates would leave other state universities ad college gssrappling to fill their 0 VISIT WIH ADMISSIONS OFFICERS LAW SCHOOLS.
