A consultant report and
higher education staff recom
mendations on the proposed
Budget Allocation System
model were submitted to the
board for evaluation Wednes
day. The board approved a staff
recommendation to accept the
consultants’ report when it met
in regular session Friday.
Davis also addressed several
key non-fiscal issues at the
retreat, including possible im
plementation of a semester
system for the state’s colleges
and universities.
“I feel that the most effective
and efficient structure for
teaching and learning is the
semester rather than the three
quarter system,” Davis
asserted. He said that at the
retreat he invited represen
tatives of individual state
schools to obtain and study
faculty and student input on the
semester system and report
their findings to the board.
According to Davis, the
semester system could be im
plemented in Oregon no earlier
than the 1986-87 fiscal year. He
said that the board would give
institutions an opportunity to
reorganize curricula and
reassign faculty members to
give schools maximum produc
tivity under such a new system.
Davis also said that the board
could decide by December
whether to implement the
system statewide, could leave
the matter up to individual in
stitutions, or could leave the
current quarter system in place.
Board member Gene Chao of
Portland said at the regular ses
sion Friday that he would prefer
to see such a system im
plemented by all eight schools
in the state higher education

Davis said that he is in
terested in developing a
statewide telecommunication
system to exchange data and in
formation between colleges and
universities. Administrative in
formation, research data and
library information also would
be exchanged through such a
system. Davis said that
“everything from telephones to
televisions and computers”
would be employed by such a
system.
“This would enable us to
develop teaching to off-campus
sites around the state,” Davis
explained.
The chancellor also address
ed the granting of honorary
degrees by state colleges and
universities, a practice that has
fallen by the wayside at some
schools. He emphasized that
current board policy does not
prohibit state schools from
granting honorary degrees but
that the board does not en
courage the practice. “It’s
strictly a prerogative of the in
dividual institution,” Davis
explained.
The University has not granted
honorary degrees since the
1940s, preferring instead to give
distinguished service awards to
worthy alumni and other
citizens.
Nationally, the practice of
granting honorary degrees has
come under fire in recent years
because of a tendency to grant
such honors to less-than-worthy
recipients. Davis doesn't see
this as a problem at Oregon's
state colleges and universities.
Davis said that some state in
stitution presidents indicated
that they will recommend can
didates for honorary degrees
this year. Under present board
policy, the names of potential
honorary degree recipients
must be submitted to the board
for approval by March 1 of the
year such a degree will be
conferred.
