Eight profs
head list
to replace
Ed. School
dean
By GEORGEA KOVANIS
After a poll of Education School
faculty, eight professors have emerged
as front-runners to replace Joan Stark,
the school's outgoing dean.
Vice-President for Academic Affairs
and Provost Billy Frye is arranging
meetings with faculty from the school
and accepting letters giving faculty
responses to the prospective deans until
July 18.
HE SAID he will then bring his choice
before the Regents in September.
In a meeting with the school's faculty
Thursday, Frye said he will probably
pick a dean from within the school.
Five of the eight professors who
headed the poll now work within the
school: Carl Berger, Frederick Ber-
tolaet, William Cave, Philip Kerney
and Marvin Peterson.
THE THREE remaining choices are
Psychology Prof. Wilbert McKeachie,
English Prof. Jay Robinson, and Social
Work Prof. John Tropman.
In Thursday's meeting, when faculty
members from the school asked if he
would pick the candidate most
preferred by the faculty, Frye replied
that he would not choose "simply by the
votes."
Those votes came from a survey Frye
sent out last month asking the school's
faculty to rate their tenured colleagues
in the School of Education as preferred,
acceptable or unacceptable. They also
had a chance to write in candidates
from outside the school.
THE DECISION to search within the
University for a new dean after the
school's executive committee had
asked for a national search, has
angered some faculty members.
University administrators said the
reason for the internal search is that a
school facing a possible 40 percent
budget cut is not in a position to attract
a dean with a national reputation.
That cut is part of the University's
five-year-plan to take $20 million from
some areas of the University and
redistribute it to "higher priority"
areas. The School of Education is one of
three schools which have undergone
budget reviews in the plan.
FRYE SAID that the new dean's term
will be three years rather than the
traditional five-year term, and ina letter
to the faculty, he said a nationwide
search will take place when he and the
school find it appropriate.
Joan Stark, dean since 1978, finishes
up her term this month. She will stay on
until a new dean has been selected.
Correction
The Daily incorrectly reported last
Thursday that Physiology Prof. John
Faulkner, supported a move for the
physical education department to the
physiology department. While
Faulkner did say he believed the depar-
tment should be moved, he did not
specify where.
