The Perfect Way To Start
Faculty-salary ends don’t meet
By Michael Hosmar
Of the Emerald
Faculty salaries at Oregon's colleges and
universities are being analyzed, scrutinized, tug
ged, and pulled in all different directions lately,
but one thing is certain — they need to be higher.
The State Board of Higher Education and the
Oregon Educational Coordinating Commission
both agree that salaries should be higher, but they
are on opposite ends of the rope when it comes to
determining the amount of the raise. The com
mission said the 11.5 percent salaries increase for
each year of the next biennium that the board has
asked for is too much.
In a report on facutly salaries, the commis
sion presented data showing Oregon faculty
salaries are above average. The state board, on the
other hand, recently released a report that ranked
the University faculty salaries among the lowest
in the nation.
Members of the coordinating commission
met with the higher education board Friday and
discussed these disagreements.
“The coordinating commission is not oppos
ing a salaries increase,” said T.K. Olson commis
sion executive director. “The commission has
strongly requested an increase in salaries,” he ad
ded. “We (the commission and the board) started
out with the same evidence base and came to the
same conclusion (a salaries increase),” said
Olson. He said the board and the commission
need to concentrate on the conclusion to come to
an agreement on how much faculty salaries
should be increased.
But Alvin Batiste state board vice president
said the board and the commission might not be
working from the same data base. “There’s been a
major change in how we view salaries since I’ve
been on the board, and that’s seven years,” he
said.
The board and the commission used different
comparator universities to come up with their
estimations of how Oregon faculty salaries rank
in relation to the rest of the nation. And, in
evitably, they came up with different figures for
the amount faculty salaries need to be raised.
In a recent report, the commission said they
used comparator universities different from those
used by the state board because the traditional
comparators (that have been used for twenty
years) “are simply out of Oregon’s league.”
Board member Edward Harms said although
some of the traditional comparator universities
may be academically superior to Oregon’s univer
sities because they are in bigger states, he thought
most universities were not different from those in
Oregon.
State board president Louis Perry said he has
sensed that the public feels the commission and
the board are working from different sets of data.
"I’d hate to have the legislature think that we are
not working together,” he said.

benefit of the entire system.
In an earlier meeting, the
board heard a report from deans
of all the teacher education pro
grams in the state evaluating
teacher education in Oregon.
Bob Barr, teacher-education
dean for the Oregon State
University and Western Oregon
State College programs, said
teacher education in Oregon
can be improved by implemen
ting the CBEST as an entrance
exam. Oregon is now using the
California Achievement Test as
an entrance exam. He said the
CAT eliminates 20 percent to 30
percent of the students who
have difficulty on only a few
specific portions of the test.
Students that fail a portion of
the CBEST can take that portion
over, instead of having to take
the entire test again. This way,
teachers and administrators can
identify problem areas in the
school’s curriculum.
The Teaching Skills and Prac
tice Commission, however, will
require Oregon schools to use
the CBEST as a condition for
licensing.

laugh during Friday’s State Board of Higher Education Meeting
in Eugene.
CBEST as an additional require
ment for licensing, said Barr.
“The question is ‘would it be
more appropriate as an entrance
exam or an exit exam?’ ” said
higher education Chancellor
Bud Davis.
He said the test should be
taken at the beginning of the
education process, rather than
making students go through the
whole teacher education pro
gram only to find they don’t
have the skills they need.
Davis also supported a pro
gram that would give
graduating seniors this year a
“cushion.” He said they could
be given a temporary teaching
certificate, which would expire
within a certain period of time.
They could use that cushion
period to pass the CBEST, he
said.
Susan Roper, dean of teacher
education at Southern Oregon
State College, said that even
though there has been a 40 per
cent to 50 percent reduction
since 1970 in the number of
teachers being turned out by
r
education programs, Oregon is
still very adequately prepared.
“The most important pro
blem is being able to attract the
kind of teachers we want to
teach our kids.” she said.
“Teacher education is not sit
ting idly by. It’s continually
upgrading admission standards
and field experience," said
Robert Gilberts, University dean
of teacher education. "Here at
the Unversity of Oregon, we are
considering going to an extend
ed five-year program” to make
teacher education more com
prehensive, he said.
In other business, two
University faculty members
were among six educators
selected by the board to receive
faculty excellence awards. The
board voted to recognize
University physics professor
John Moseley and University
chemistry professor Peter Von
Hippel for research and scholar
ship excellence. They will
receive a $5,000 salary supple
ment retroactive to September.
