Critique draws lengthy response By Ann Portal OfffwfflwraM KLAMATH FALLS - State System of Higher Education staff issued a 42-page response on Friday to a recent 48-page Oregon Educational Coordinat ing Commission critique of higher education’s 1982-83 budget request The state system's report, presented to State Board of Higher Education members at their monthly meeting, criticized the analysis presented last month by the coordinating commission as containing a number of errors in both fact and interpretation The coordinating commission report was prepared by OECC staff at the request of the Legis lature and was presented to the Legislature's Emergency Board last month along with the 1982-83 higher education bud get request The state system's response was prepared by Chancellor Roy Lieuallen, Vice Chancellor for Administration Bill Lemman and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Clarethel Kahananui. In opening remarks, Lieuallen challenged the right of the coordinating commission to deal with internal higher educa tion issues, as it did in its report. In addition to reviewing the budget request, sections of the report critique intercollegiate athletics, remedial mathematics and writing, faculty salaries, ad mission and grading standards and tuition levels The commission, as defined by 1975 legislation, was meant to handle coordination among all levels of education, including elementary and secondary schools, community colleges, private colleges and public col leges and universities, Lieuallen said. He said the commission's staff and the Ways and Means Committee have interpreted state laws to mean the commis sion should have responsibili ties within the various branches Tuition Continued from Page 1 The other five packages are: $11.2 million to remove the $49-per-term tuition surcharge; $5.2 million to fund remaining salary increases already ap proved by the board; $17 7 mil lion to allow systemwide up grading of such areas as library acquisitions, maintenance, computing, services and sup plies; and $6 5 million to provide each institution with funds for selectively upgrading pro grams The last package would be a fund to further upgrade 1 academic salaries Also at Friday's meeting, Lieuallen informed the board that "significant financial con sultation" has taken place between him and all institution presidents to allow individual declarations of financial ex igency, should the new revenue shortfall require them At present, the situation is "very fluid" and the shortfall s impact on the higher education budget is uncertain, Lieuallen said Avoid the rush & disconnect your phone for the summer.

He called the commission a "duplicatory bureaucracy” and charged that its activities within agencies represent — at best — a costly duplication of function. “At its worst, it generates con troversy and produces hostili ty," he said. Edith Maddron, OECC vice chairer, said at the meeting that all the issues raised by the commission's report have been r discussed for a long time "By statute we are the reviewing body," she said. Regardless of flaws, the com mission’s report reflects a "strong sense of urgency” and points out that priority decisions must be made and clearly stated — beginning with a definition of what higher education is, Mad dren said. She asked that the state board and the commission reconcile their differences and enter the upcoming legislative session united. “The 1983 session will be rough indeed — there's not e nough money to go around,” she said. “You and we have got to get our acts together " 71 ^ German AUTO SLfH/ICE VWs-MERCEDES-BMWs DATSUN-TOYOTA-AUDI Reliable service for your foreign car 342-2912 2025 Franklin Blvd. Eugene, Oregon as 2>° tv)\c^ a«.i# „e.
