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

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

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

“This interpretation has re
sulted in the commission
second-guessing the board of
higher education on many
policy, program, and budget is
sues which clearly are the legal
responsibility of the board of
higher education,” Lieuallen
said.
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 "
