New math requisite delayed
Budget problems have affected the University
Assembly’s decision-making
The Assembly approved 88-36 the curriculum
committee s motion to defer until 1983 a
mathematics proficiency requirement for a ba
chelor of science degree.
Assembly members approved the motion
after mathematics professors Lewis Ward and
Ivan Niven added the words “for budgetary rea
sons” to the motion.
Thelma Greenfield, the curriculum commit
tee's chairer, made the motion at the University
administration’s request.
Although Richard Hill, provost for academic
affairs, said the administration fully supports
eventual institution of a math requirement, the
coming biennium’s financial outlook makes insti
tuting the requirement next fall impossible.
The Assembly approved the requirement in
November 1979
If Gov. Vic Atiyeh’s budget proposal is ap
proved by Legislature, Hill said the University will
have to eliminate 28 teaching positions, 17 clas
sified positions and about 28 graduate teaching
fellow positions.
In view of those cuts, Hill said "it’s not ap
propriate at this time to institute a requirement
that could cost up to $90,000 in 1981-82 and
$130,000 by 1982-83."
Hill obtained the cost estimates from the
College of Arts and Sciences (CAS).
However, Hill said, the requirement will be
instituted as soon as financial constraints let up.
In other business, Assembly members
referred the curriculum committee s motion on
course, cluster and procedural graduation
requirements to a joint study by the CAS’s cur
riculum committee and the Assembly's cur
riculum committee.
Geology Prof. Harve Waff, who also is on the
CAS’s curriculum committee, made the referral
motion.
