ASSEMBLY

approve the measure against their
will.
Linguistics Professor Tomas
Giv6n told the assembly that some
faculty wore afraid to vote against
the proposal because they'd been
pressured by department heads and
deans to support it
Giv6n moved that the assembly
use a secret moil ballot to vote
instead of raising their hands dur
ing the meeting The motion was
defeated J47-170
Political science Associate Pro
fessor Sumi Cho said it was ridicu
lous for Givon to Iwtlieve that a
small number of faculty could
strongarm others into voting
iigamsi (ho proposal.
"What's really at issue here is
whether people will ho politically
acc ountable for their vote," Cho
said
Other opposition came from foe
ultv who said the new requirement
ignores important issues such as
religion.
"Speaking as a non-Jew, to omit
the anti-Semitism problem from
the first course on race is a terrible
mistake," religious studies Profes
sor J T. Sanders told the assembly.
"No group has been more persecut
ed ... than Jews."
Hut Ethnic Studies Director
Quintord Jaylor, a member of the
committee that drafted the new
requirement, said dosses about
anti-Semitism could fall under the
second course, which addresses
ethnicity.
"There is nothing in the propos
al that excludes the discussion of
anti-Semitism or anti-Arab dis
crimination, or a host of other
issues,” Taylor said.
Some faculty questioned
whether the University could
afford changing the requirement.
However, University President
Myles Brand said the costs — esti
mated to be at least $200,000 to
$240,000 for hiring new faculty —
could be covered by re-allocating
funds that are already designated
for new faculty.
The University Senate approved
the new requirement last month
with a 33-5 vote, which sent the
measure to the assembly.
PRIVATIZATION

months and wo go into another cycle of cuts, we may
have to seriously consider the high tuition model rather
than closing parts or ail of institutions." Bailey said.
The high tuition model, as some are calling it. would
be accompanied with increased student aid, Oakley said.
This aid, she said, would come from the state.
"There are a lot of students that can easily afford
$10,000 to go to school." Oakley said. "Instead of the
state paying some for everyone’s tuition as it is now. those
wealthier students would pay more while the state paid
for poorer students to go to school."
If this model is implemented. Bailey said he is afraid
a "dumbbell affect” of students will occur, with wealthy
and poor students able to be educated, but the middle
class left out because they can’t afford it, yet don't qual
ify for aid.
To adjust to the shortfall under the 1990 Measure 5
property tax limit, Gov. Barfiarn Roberts has recommended
cutting higher education by 16 percent in the 1993-95
biennium.
The University receives about $64 million in state
funding each year.
