NOTICES Continued from Page 1 "Those not lens worn not based on performance, but rather on tho contract daln," said Lorrutno Da vis, vice provost for academic affairs. Despite this, many who received the notices say it’s hard not to tako It personally, especially because employees in the student services area received most of the notices. "Sometimes It fools like wo re a target.” said Anne Leavitt, the associate vice provost for Aca demic Support and Student Services, "it fools as though the work we do hero is being devalued.” Potty Scott, a counselor In Academic. Advising and Studnnt Services for four years, also said she was hurl and angered by tho letter. ”1 felt like tho letter was written with a bunch of legal mumbo-jumbo that made you feel you hud no value to the University," Scott said. ”1 felt crummy and ns though the University thought I am indispensable." Leavitt, who hus worked at the University for eight years, said she is uncertain about the near future. Her husband, who works for the Forest Service, may be out of a Job at the end of the year due to tho cutbacks in the woods products indus try. "I've worked In higher education all my life and to change now would bo a major departure from my career,” Leuvitl said. "The hardest part, besides the economic risk for my family, is that I believe in my work and it's hard to leave when 1 made a professional commitment to he an educa tor.” Although he understands the University's posi tion, Knight Librarian George Shipman said his staff is very close to both students and faculty. “Nobody supports students and faculty more than librarians because of the Instruction and re search that results In library use." Shipman said. "It's frustrating not to lie considered with faculty, but instead to ire lumped in with a larger group whose missions may not be as diroctly related to instruction and research as librarians. "Wo are closer to being faculty thun any olhor of the other support function* on campus." he said. Many, although apprehensive about the uncer tainty of their jobs, said they fear most for stu dents who will be facet! with fewer services while paying increased tuition. “The bottom line is that students arc going to lie hurt by this." Scott said. "What's going to hap pen when students are paying more monoy and there ant loss people around?" Both Swank, a counselor In Career Planning and Placement, said her work is valuable to stu dents especially because students are “scared about the job market right now “ Although administrators are defined by the University as non-teaching staff, many do teach classes and said they are offended that the Uni versity doesn't acknowledge this. Shipman, who also received a letter, said it is frustrating to bo categorized as non-teaching when librarians loach various classes such us In troduction to tho Library, Legal Research and Business Research. Some administrators who received tho notices said they are keeping their eyes open for job op portunities elsewhore. und others uro merely waiting to see what tho Oregon Legislature de cides next year. "It’s ironic, tieing a career counselor, tfr.it I may be on my own soon,” Swank said. "But I love tills job and I'm not really looking for anything else right now. I'm waiting for the Legislature to con vene und I'm just sitting beck and still doing my job." The Legislature will convene in January, and the agenda Is likely to include consideration of a permanent tax-restructuring plan for referral to voters. Some administrators who received these no tices work in the computing center, library, the EMU, Registrars Office, Counseling Center, Busi ness Affairs.
