REPORT

those from many other countries hut not Italy,
the fix:us of the program.
At the school. University students must register
for 11! to 15 hours of credit because of Oregon's
quarter system, students have only sot weeks to
spend in a program designed to last eight Univer
sity students start their work with other students
hut leave two weeks early
The committee’s opinion is that offering up to
15 hours of work lor the six-week experience is
excessive, considering students have the problem
of "settling into” and "moving out of" new expe
rience in a relatively short time
The report also questioned the compatibility of
American students studying in a relatively un
structured Italian school, "typical of many burn
pean universities " The committee points to a
large number of incomplete grades and comments
from students who said the program was unstrut
lured and "chaotic."
"To what extent,” the committee asks in the re
port, "should we passively accept the foreign in
stitution's way of doing things when it seriously
conflicts with our own procedure and when we
are tho paying clients/" The committee concedes,
however, that it does not intend to "remake insti
tutions abroad in our own linage "
The report recommends providing structure foi
students from the University, in the form of tests
and assignments, and from the host school, by
asking teachers to provide guidance to American
students
Although the report says the Italian University
lor foreigners did test students at the end of the
six-week stay and evaluate student language pro
gress, program direr tors needed to he r learer with
students about requirements, preferably in writ
ing
"Such an expec tation exists lor classes held on
rumpus and should for essential (or all t ri-d 11
granting programs abroad as well,' lire report
said
(he (ommittee also had concerns about place
nrent of students, who have largely been left to
decide for themselves which level (beginning, in
termediate or advanced) to enroll in, resulting in
many students switching levels .liter as much as
two weeks ol course work
Perugia's program financing also attracted the
committee's attention C.urrentlv, sin h < osts as
the direc tor's salary are insured fov the students'
fees lo pay lor the program's costs, main stu
dents were signed on
Kathleen Bowman, vii e provost lor internation
al affairs, i ommissioned the report, and said rely
ing on student participation lo fund the program
led to larger groups of inexperiem ed students
"We do not want student solvency lo tie com
promised by the need to secure more students,'
she said "What the data seems to suggest is that
students who have had instruction in Italian per
form blitter
Bowman used the study abroad program to
Waseda I Diversity in Tokyo as an example ol one
that strengthened its requirements tor participat
mg students
Minor changes have resulted hum the report
f or example. Bowman said J‘> student-, are now
in Perugia, compared with -1 I last year
Bowman said the University will not enact ma
jor changes to the Perugia program or study
abroad until Professor Regina Psaki. nuy\ in Italy
conducting the program, returns next month
Bowman said Psaki and the students who .re
noyy studying in Perugia will he interviexvi d and
asked about their exponent e with the program
"The actual assessment of the program isn't
