Faculty positions temporarily lost
Physics enrollment soars while funds fall
By ANN PORTAL
Of the Emerald
This is a year of contradic
tions for the University.
Enrollment continues to in
crease while funds decrease,
and the physics department
faculty is keenly aware of the
predicament.
Physics undergraduate en
rollment has grown 14 percent
this year, graduate enrollment
has increased 47 percent, and
four faculty positions have been
lost temporarily.
The financial situation is no
longer debatable, says depart
ment chairer Bernd Crasemann.
“We have been hanging on by
our fingernails for several years.
There is absolutely no reserve
left.”
Calling the governor’s budget
“pathetically inadequate,” Cra
semann says the University and
the physics department are
"better than the state deserves
in view of the support we re
given.”
The public needs to
understand the fragility of
higher education, Crasemann
says
“The quality hinges on a small

number of outstanding faculty
members. My worry is we ll
come to the point when we can
no longer hold these people.”
Crasemann is particularly
concerned about the lack of
funds coming at a time when
student interest is returning to
the “hard sciences."
"It’s a trend that’s been com
ing back the last few years.” he
says.
However, academic positions
for graduates will be tight for
another 10 years, he adds
Industrial positions for phys
isicists and engineers are plen
tiful, Crasemann says.
Although he expects increas
ing graduate enrollment to con
tinue, Crasemann says Atiyeh’s
proposed 84-percent increase
in out-of-state graduate tuition
over the next two years could
prevent foreign students from
attending the University.
"We continue to attract very
good graduate students,” Cra
semann says, noting that 50
percent come from foreign
countries,, and many of these
students pay for school by
themselves.
"One is worried that we will
cut off the flow of foreign
students. Not only are they very
qualified, but their presence
adds greatly to the educational
experience of all students.”
Crasemann expects graduate
enrollment in the department to
continue growing because of
the "increased visibility” of re
search being done. Virtually
every member of the faculty has
some type of research grant, he
says.
Research contracts in the
department total more than $1.3
million this year.
Crasemann attributes the
department’s increased nation
al exposure to research being
done in solid state physics, par
ticle theory physics, and nu
clear, atomic and molecular
physics.
In addition, the chemical phy
sics program recently received
a $300,000 grant to further re
search and education that
should help to attract graduate
students, Crasemann says.
The loss of four faculty posi
tions in the department forced
the elimination of a number of
advanced graduate courses
and some undergraduate
sections this year, says Cra
semann. However, two of the
positions already have been
filled, and the department also
hopes to get permission to fill
the other two.
