Measure 2, to reword how the Oregon Student Public. Interest Research Group is funded, passed 1.653 to 573. BudgetContinued from PaRe distributed among the state’s eight colleges and universities. Hill said. Bill Lemman, State System executive vice chancellor, said he has no idea where the $7.8 million in cuts will be made. He said those decisions cannot be made until after Gov. Neil Goldschmidt signs the higher education budget. But Rep. Tom Mason. D Rortland, the chairman of the budgeting committee, said none of the cuts will come out of faculty salaries. Some of the cuts could be made in general service programs and travel ex pense accounts for higher education officials, he said. “We looked at detailed cuts, then the (higher education ex ecutives) said, 'OK if you’re go ing to make the cuts, let us do it.’ ’’ Mason said. “Some of it could come from the chancellor’s office,” said committee member Sen. Grattan Kerans, D-Kugene. The commit tee attacked State System Chancellor William Davis and his staff earlier this year for allowing administrative salaries to outpace faculty salaries since the 1985 legislative session. Fart of the cuts are needed to balance the budget, but $1.8 million of the money will lx? returned to State System schools to fund programs that were hand-picked hv committee members. Committee members named their pet programs the "sup plemental alternative list of directed regional university programs." The list includes 13 pet pro grams for which the governor had recommended no funding. Kerans placed a High Energy Physics research program and the Labor Education and Research Center .it the l Universi ty onto the list. The committee said each of the programs should receive $100,000 in 1988-89. Kerans specifically requested funding for the LERC program, which is a unique program in the Northwest and "a great benefit to the blue-collar community.” "We have been able to receive tremendous support from labor for the State System,” Kerens said. "Last biennium they wen? very supportive of both the faculty salary increases and the tuition freeze.” The l.KRC has not received an increase in funding since l*t7‘>. and program administrators “have been very patient.” Kerens said. "The decision to add funds to the l.KRC is something we welcome.” Hill said “But we are not sure where those funds will come from if we are asked to cut other areas to provide them.” The budgeting committee agreed to give tlit* l Iniversity an additional $2.:< million in the next two years to cover costs for added instructors and equip ment, which is required because of the dramatic increase in student enrollment this year. Karlier this week, the commit tee discussed limiting student enrollment at State System schools to control the rising costs. “That idea has gone by the by,” Mason said. Mill said the $2.3 million was an important increase, but the University’s top priority is a raise in faculty salaries, which the budgeting committee will consider later. The committee included $3 million for “Centers of Ex cellence" programs at Portland State and Oregon State univer sities and the University of ()regon. That decision was contrary to the wishes of the Oregon Stu dent bobby. “It makes little sense to fund the Centers of Excellence, or as wo are now calling them. Islands' of Excellence, which directly affect .1 small number of students, when cuts are being suggested that will adversely af fect the quality ol education tor most students." said OSL Direc tor Sherry l )eser in a letter to the committee last week Hill was displeased with the distribution of COE funding among the three universities. The University and PSU each received ;t() percent of the COE funds, and OSU received 40 percent in the committee’s budget. The governor recommended tfiat the committee give the 1 f diversity and ()Sl I 44 percent, and 1 *Sl 1 12 percent "It looks as if tin* l Iniversity’s share of the Centers of Ex i ellence money doesn't ade quately reflect the productivity of our centers," Hill said. Kerens agreed "We are just going to distribute the Centers of Excellence money in tin* next biennium the same way as in this biennium, even though PSU has yet to get a (good return on its COE investment). They’ve gotten zero return at PSlI," kerans said The University's current $2..r> million COE program has at tracted nearly $10 million in gilts and grants in the last two Turn to Budget, Page Et al.
