] University organization
stresses specific functions
By CLAY EALS
Of the Emerald
It’s been nearly a year since
the administrative
reorganization of the University
took place.
And since that time—July 26,
1971—students, faculty, classified
staff and administrators have
been working with a system that
defines specific functions and
lines of direct responsibility.
That structure is divided into
three areas: administration and
finance, academic affairs, and
students.
Heading up the three areas are
the University’s vice presidents,
Ray Hawk, Harry Alpert and
Gerald Bogen.
Administration and Finance
Much of Hawk’s time as Vice
President for Administration and
Finance is taken up with money
1 matters. He is the person
responsible for outlining where
money to run the University will
come from (through the Business
Office) and where the money will
) go to (through the Budget Of
\ fice).
I Hawk also handles the ad
ministrative organization of the
University.
Academic Affairs
Alpert defines his job as Vice
President for Academic Affairs
and Provost as being the
“academic conscience” of the
University.
“I’ve got to keep reminding
people that the be-all and the end
all of the University is its
academic mission,” he has said.
“You know, it’s so easy in any
bureaucracy to worry about
procedures and regulations and
so on. And I feel it’s my job to
keep reminding people that the
academic program is the central
program of the University.”
The function of the Office of the
Academic Affairs is, according to
Alpert, “to be in touch with the
faculty, understanding faculty
problems, concerns, interests,
and to meet with them to see if we

difficulties.
“Also, 1 would say the concern
is in the development of an ap
propriate curriculum, to be sure
the students are getting the kind
of education they deserve and
need.”
Student Services
Bogen, as Vice President for
Student Services, has said his job
is to be an “in-house man ... a
member of the establishment

“Now, he may have to come
back in the afternoon and wait for
a half hour or an hour, but there
won’t be a day that I’m off
campus, that I won’t be able to
see a student about his problems.
“I will simply arrange my
schedule so that every day there’ll
be time when students can come
in. Hopefully, they wouldn’t have
to wait more than half a day.”
Bogen’s role as communicator
with students is only one-half of
his job. He is also a com
municator for students.

His authority extends over
University Housing, the EMU,
Supportive Services, and the
Offices of Student Personnel
Services and Student Ad

in the day for students,” he has
said of his job. “No student with a
problem will have to wait—he’ll
be able to see me with that
problem that day.

understand and support, that if I
see the University or the per
sonnel of the University drifting
away from an area which I think
is of interest to students, moving
in a direction which is contrary to
the best interests of students—
well. I’ve got a responsibility to
step in and try to redirect it, if
that is occurring.”
University President
Heading these three areas is
the University President, Robert
Clark.
Clark has defined his job as
President as threefold:
— Administrative: the
execution of policy which is
determined partly by the
University faculty and partly by
the State Board of Higher
Education.
—Interpretive: interpreting
the University as being “open to
the exploration and expression of
ideas.” He exercises this in
terpretation to students through
due process, and to the public
through “trying to explain the
matter of due process and also to
explain to them the role of the
University as an open University
which invites a wide expression
of opinion—a much wider ex
pression of opinion than in times
of stress some of the public would
like to allow it.”
—Initiative: “responsibility for
