Commission critiques LSA
By PHILIP LEVY
A report recently completed by a special
panel within the College of Literature, Science,
and the Arts may have a profound effect on the
college, especially in the areas of curriculum,
admissions, and counseling.
The Blue Ribbon Commission has not yet
publically released its 22-page report, but
University administrators and members of
LSA's Executive Committee have received
copies. Commission members are currently
discussing their proposals with top ad-

Popular Law School prof. Michael
Rosenzweig, who won the Law School
Student Senate's "Best teacher"
award in 1982, was apparently denied
tenure because of the quality and
quantity of scholarly articles he
published.
The tenure denial by the University
administration which overruled an
earlier recommendation by two thir-

faculty, has angered some law
professors who praise Rosenzweig's
teaching ability and professionalism.

"arrogance" in overriding their
