National/Regional Task force to report on PSU PORTLAND (AP) — A study of how Portland State University can become a comprehensive research university will be presented to the Oregon Board of Higher Education. A nina-membor task force made up of present and former board members will give its report Feb. 21. The chancellor of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte told the task force Monday that a young, urban university has to provide something needed to gait) the respect that attracts more.fundlng and a top qualitv faculty.. Chancellor E.K Fretwell Jr., who was invited to speak by Loren WysS, chair of the task force, . said urban universities should search for ways to meet thefr cities'future,needs. • * ■’ \ % ‘/Continuing education should be continued •..at a Very high.level."•Fretwell said. “This is what an urban university ought to be doing now and in the future. Student participation is important, and where better can you get it than in an urban setting?" Like Portland State, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte grew from a two-year col lege serving veterans to a four-year university, Fretwell said. However. North Carolina-Charlotte does not have doctoral programs as Portland State does, Fretwell said. "I think PSU is 10 years further ahead than we are," he said. "It is in the major population • .center of the state, and it is authorized to do" things we don’t have the authorization tp do. o o "It is important for people to realize thahthey have "a good .thing here ifthey know how to steer ; it."
