Residency, grievance rules on board slate By PATTY FARRELL Of the Emerald Proposed changes in the resi dency requirements which the State Board of Higher Education will consider today may make it harder for some out-of-state stu dents to gain Oregon residency. The public will air views on resi dency requirements and discrimi nation procedures, and the board will review a revised budgeting system at the Portland meeting. One of the changes recom mended to the full board by the Committee on Instruction, Re search and Public Service Prog rams removes both age and mari tal status as factors in determining residency. The present rules allow students over 21 and all married students to gain Oregon resi dency regardless of whether they are receiving support from par ents who live outside of Oregon. The committee has recom mended that all students must be financially independent in order to gain Oregon residency for tuition purposes. The Committee on Instruction Intern posts open A variety ot tasks ranging trom clerical work to research and writing awaits students interested in working with Oregon congressmen and senators as congressional interns in Washington, D C. this spring and summer. According to Tom Mackey, administrative assistant to Congress man Jim Weaver, the Lyndon Baines Johnson Congressional Intern ship Program provides S500 a month for student interns. This fund, set up four years ago, applies to all congressmen However, only three of Oregon's four congressmen, Bob Duncan, Al Ullman and Weaver, are sponsoring Oregon students under the program for spring and summer, Mark Cogan, ASUO administrative assistant, said that Oregon senators offer internship programs to students as well. Competition for the positions is intense, Cogan said, ' so it's more important for a timely application and a thorough explanation of why an individual is suited for the job. Both Mackey and Cogan said a resume with a cover letter com pletes the application process. The resume should explain reasons for applying and experience. However, both men said that experience need not be political, and that work assigned would depend on an individual s interests and skills. Interested students may be able to receive University credit while in the Capitol, Cogan said. He stressed that the application deadlines for the internship prog rams are rapidly approaching. The deadline for Weaver's spring interns is Feb. 15 and Ullman s deadline is in March. Packwood s deadline is Feb 29 for the summer session and some of Packwood s representa tives will be interviewing on campus in March. Students interested in any of the five intern programs can contact Cogan in Suite 4, EMU, or at 686-3724, or write directly to the senators at the Senate Office Building, Washington, D C., 20510, and the rep resentatives at the House Office Building, Washington.

The ASUO and the Oregon Women s Political Caucus claim, however, that the rules drawn up by the committee are ‘‘inadequate and inapprop riate.” House Bill 2131, passed in the 1975 Legislature, required the board to establish rules “to elimi nate discrimination based on age, handicap, national origin, race, marital status, religion or sex in any higher education program. The instruction committee s rules are the board's answer to the legislation. The committee proposed a set of discrimination grievance pro cedure rules to the full board in November, but because of un favorable testimony by the Women's Political Caucus, the board sent the rules back to com mittee. The committee revised the rules at its December meeting, and will take those rules to the full board today. A coalition including the ASUO, the Native American Program, MEChA and the Women s Politi cal Caucus have fought the committee s proposed rules since November. They believe that the revisions made in De cember were minor ones, and that the committee paid little attention to their suggestions. “The board s attitude is not one of progress toward ending dis crimination,” says Eugene attor ney Margie Hendricksen, presi dent of the caucus. "It's more an attitude of What's the least we can get by with?' ” Hendricksen says that the committee’s recommendations are not in keeping with the intent of the Legislature. She also stresses that the committees procedural rules do not conform with the Ad ministrative Procedures Act (APA) of Oregon, an act outlining hearings procedures for state agencies. According to Hendrick sen, the committee does not be lieve it is required to meet up with the APA ASUO Consultant Don Chal mers says that the committee's rules do not provide affirmative policy guidelines, with more specific wording. “They need a set of regulations telling the institutions what their responsibilities are in eliminating discrimination. The committee s recommendations don t give a general idea of what kind of things are discriminatory. The coalition is hoping that the board will reject the committee s proposed rules and consider their suggestions instead. The board will also review more than a year's worth of study and research proposing a revised budgeting model for the State System of Higher Education. The present system of allocation to the universities and colleges is based almost entirely on the amount of full-time equivalent (FTE) hours at each institution. The proposed system, labeled the Resource Allocation/Acquisition Model, fo cuses on programs offered by each institution as well as the FTE count. The new formula would give money to schools on the basis of instruction, non-sponsored re search, public services, libraries and museums, student services, operational and building costs and general institution support. University Pres. William Boyd is opposed to the recommended model as it now reads. He be lieves there are major flaws in the model which work to the disad vantage of the University. He says that research universities such as the University of Oregon should be considered on a different basis than undergraduate colleges. The ASUO is in favor of the plan, although they oppose includ ing non-sponsored research as part of the consideration for funds.
