Administrators
Boyd faces heated issues, makes changes
By PATTY FARRELL
Of the Emerald
When William Boyd took office as the
University's 12th president on July 1, he
was hoping for a slow, thorough introduc
tion to the University and his new position.
By mid-August, he’d faced some of the hot
test issues on campus. Already, he's made
major program changes and has voiced
strong opinions, stirring up some real con
troversy.
In early August, Boyd eliminated the eth
nic centers within the EOS program, a
move which has generated a great deal of
dissent.
Boya admits that since assuming the
presidency, “EOS has been the most dif
ficult problem I’ve had to deal with.” But he
claims that the EOS program has previ
ously been doing a "substandard job.” He
feels that most services, especially
academic advising, were being poorly re
ndered by the centers,and could be better
handled within the College of Liberal Arts.
Boyd says that "that role is going to have
to be filled by the studeni unions.”

money given to the EMU out of incidental
He is strongly opposed to the tavern, cal
ling it a "bogus, political need He believes
that the University is in a ‘privileged posi
tion" by paying no taxes while receiving
huge amounts of tax dollars and sees this
as giving the University an advantage over
competitors.
Boyd, who is considered an expert on the
topic of collective bargaining, is pessimistic
about student involvement in the bargain
ing process.
“Student interests may be victimized,
says Boyd. He says that when students
become included in the bargaining, the in
terests are multi-lateral while the process
remains rigidly bi-lateral.
He goes on to explain, "In the bargaining
process, things go on privately which would
sound very unpopular. If some things were
made public, people would be dead set
against them. Yet the contract which
evolved would be fair and good
Boyd stressed that he would be anxi
ous" to see the process allow for student
involvement, but doubts it can be success
ful within the present system
Hot issues have marked the first few
months of Boyd's administration, but con
troversy is nothing new to him. Before serv
ing as president of Central Michigan Uni
versity for the past seven years, Boyd was
vice-chancellor at the University of Califor
nia in Berkeley from 1966 to 1968.
“I’ve lived through such a variety of prob
lems that it’s hard for me to feel intimidated
by the prospect of more problems,' says
Boyd. He doesn't concern himself too much
with opposition to his actions, stating that
he's “quite at peace" with the decisions
he s made thus tar at the University.
Boyd's move to Eugene has brought
about more than a few changes in his life
He and his wife Louise are unaccustomed
to the "peace' they find at home since their
two daughters have remained in the East to
attend college. "It's a lot different without
them," muses Boyd.
Boyd's life is also a lot different without
