at that rally
Twain said there may lx* a march from
the EMU rally to the downtown rails
Fast year, after the officers were
acquitted of assault charges in the heat
ing of motorist Rodney King, violence
broke out in Eugene after a rally at the
Federal Building. Windows were bro
ken at the building, i ausing thousands
of dollars in damage, and two people
were subsequently convicted of misde
meanor charges
Twain met with members of the
Eugene police department, the Univer
sity Office of Public Safety, University
administrators and interested students
in an effort to organize a means of
expression that would "hopefully avoid
a \ iolent outbreak,” she said
Trained student peacekeepers, not
affiliated with the police, v\ i 11 he on
hand to assist in conflict resolution,
should the need arise. Twain said

FACULTY
Continued from Page 1
ulty members said they each
spend an average of 32 hours a
week on instruction, which
includes teat hing. preparation,
advising and grading.
However, the survey found
resean h-related m livities aver
age only about 17 hours per fac
ulty member, which includes
instructing graduate students
and about nine hours a week of
professional service to the cam
pus.
An average work week is 5M.2
hours per fai ulty member, the
survey found.
A ( omparison ol seven Asso
ciation of Amerit an Universities
discovered the University con
sistently ranked among the
schools with the lowest instruc
tional and overall expenditures
Some of those compared
include the University of
Nebraska. Lincoln; the Universi
ty of Washington; and the Uni
versity of Michigan, Ann Arbor
Despite this. University fai ul
ty prodtu tivity ranks highly.
Compared to It AAU universi
ties in another study, the aver
age University instructor
produces 2:t4 7 credit hours of
teaching duties per term com
pared with the AAU average of
'02 7.
This productivity measure
takes into account the number of
students the faculty teaches in
their i lasses and multiplies that
by the number of hours the ( hiss
meets a week, or the number of
hours the class is worth
University faculty were also
found to spend 19.9 hours per
term on one on-one instrm turn
w ith students i ompared to the
study average of 11 t
"Our faculty work harder
comparer) to other universities,
and we do more with less."
MacDonald said
Furthermore, the study shows
that the average University fac
ulty salary is Si l.ioo lower than
the average s.ilarv at 29 compa
rable universities
The study also showed the
University spends $1,394 in tax
dollars per student compared to
an average of al lf> other
universities.
