Boyd pans education study
By Julie Shippen
Of the Emerald
While a report by the
Oregon Educational Coor
dinating Commission establish
ed some guidelines for the
state’s educational system, it
failed to fully examine many
serious issues facing higher
education, says Betsy Boyd,
ASUO summer co-coordinator.
As an ASUO represen
tative, Boyd addressed the
report with written testimony at
the OECC’s regional meeting in
Eugene June 18. Her three-page
summary will be included in
the organization’s final pro
posal to go before the state’s
Emergency Board in September.
The recently-released draft
report is the state Legislature’s
attempt to take into account the
various problems of Oregon’s
educational system in general
from kindergarten through col
lege, Boyd says.
But by taking an integrated
approach, the OECC's report is
too vague and leaves many
issues, particularly funding,
unanswered and open for

speculation, she says.
“The problem, it seems, is
that the serious underfunding
for four-year institutions isn’t
examined and is not really ap
preciated,” Boyd says. “We
think there is a danger in lump
ing the problems of
kindergarten through high
school with the problems of
higher education.”
Goal 10 for example, states
that “Oregon’s schools at all
levels shall be supported by
adequate and stable funding,”
but Boyd and other members of
the ASUO question what priori
ty the Legislature will use when
considering funding for higher
education, she says.
“The legislation is going to
have to make a commitment to
higher education and this docu
ment gives them the excuse not
to make a really clear one
because it considers everything
all at once,” Boyd says.
Boyd says the way the
OECC report addresses quality
in education also is
overgeneralized and unclear.
Standards of quality are
specifically mentioned in Goal
1, which states that “excellence
in education shall be the stan
dard expected of all Oregon
schools and colleges,” and in
Goal 6, where “the quality and
efficiency of education shall be
improved wherever
possible. . . ”
“Everybody wants ex
cellence; everybody wants
stable funding. The question is
what does stable funding mean,
who gets it and how do you
decide who gets it,” Boyd says.
In another sub-point of her
testimony, Boyd criticizes the
report’s proposal to restrict the
number of incoming freshmen
to the upper half of each high
school graduating class, which
would hamper funding from the
state, she says.
‘‘While it’s elitist, it also
could pose funding problems
even though the report says that
it shouldn’t be used as a fun
ding criteria,” Boyd says. The
fact that enrollment will decline
as a result of that action should
affect funding.”
Another major concern that
has arisen from the report is the
future of financial aid, Boyd
says. She believes there is a
“dichotomy” in the report’s
priorities of funding for grades
K-12 and higher education.
“Our priority should be
higher education because it’s
funded well below the national
average, whereas secondary and
primary education and com
munity colleges are funded at
well above the national
average,” Boyd says.
Boyd says she is quite
pleased to see the Legislature’s
interest in Oregon’s education,
however. “It is definitely a first
step,” she says.
