would fie controversial. "We are
forced to have to think about
this due to our finam ml situa
tion." he said
Kissler also made it clear that
ho is not in favor of changing
over the University, but he real
izes that it may have to lx1 done.
The University has come up
with three possible options for
its privatization.
The first option was turned
down hv the state Legislature
Inst summer The plan was to
abruptly transform the Universi
ty to a private institution as of
July 1. 1993 This option would
have drastic ally raised tuition to
at least $H>.non per year, com
pared to the present amount
The shift would have caused a
projec ted 50 percent shrink in
enrollment
Oaklev was satisfied the con
version would not lie feasible
after evaluating the conse
quences pointed out by the
(Jffu.e of the Cham ellor
Hie second and third options
arc- still lieing c onsidered by the
state system
The se< ond option is a transi
tion. with a grandparenting of
c urrontly enrolled Oregon resi
dent students This would allow
students already enrolled to
c ontinue paying tuition at state
rates
This transition would be
spread over several years, reduc
ing the sudden loss of enroll
ment somewhat About half the
students would be paying the
current pric e of tuition, and the
other half would pay the private
coat of tuition, about $10,000.
The third possibility being
considered by the state board is
to convert the University to a
higher tuition base in a phased
PRIVATIZATON
transition over an extended time
period. The analysis of this
option is not vet dear. Hut there
are costs to operating more like a
private institution, and addi
tional aid would need to Im> con
sidered for low-income
students
Kissler believes the third
option is the most feasible.
Privatization seems to be more
strongly opposed than favored
Faculty member Dick Gale
expressed this best in a 1992
editorial appearing in the Ore
goman.
"I fantasize that Measure 5
cuts may soon yield a conver
sion of the UO into the Univer
sity of Oregon Inc., an elitist
private university, a third-class
version of Stanford or the Uni
versity of Southern California,"
he wrote. Gala also points out
that fantasies such as these are
becoming realities.
Other opponents argue that
the conversion of the Universi
ty to a fully private university,
with no state support designated
for Oregon residents, would
result in a university that served
ver\ few state residents
The University would have to
remain small, raise its tuition
and take fewer Oregon students
in favor of more out-of-state stu
dents. Also, wealthy students or
students who are poor enough to
qualify for financial aid will
have easier access to the system
than students from middle
income families.
Supporters of the conversion
argue that the University needs
the change to compete with
other schools. In order to main
tain quality instruction, money
must he generated. Privatizing
the University is one way of
doing this.
The University will come up
with a way to deal with Measure
5, despite the possibility of pri
vatization. The threat is heading
toward reality every day. Tax
cuts in any state mean initial
savings, but eventually the per
sonal gain results in less state
funded necessities, such as
higher education
EDUCATION

Can thi> University a fiord such technologically
advanced classroom activities?
"Who knows?" he said. "If you increased the
number of students at the University enough, per
haps it would result in a cost savings."
The second and third focuses are on curricular
streamlining projects, which would allow a stu
dent to graduate in four years or less with no has
sles. and distant e education projei ts, which could
perhaps allow a student to study .it the University
from a television broodiest in Monmouth Those
two proposals are aimed at ai i ommiuiatmg that
extra 40 pen ell! of high m liool graduates the state
faces
Perhaps the University could place more
emphasis on summer session. Brand said at his
State of the University speech Oct 20 Or. as
Kissler said, advanced high si hooi students < mild
possibly get more credit for college-level work,
mavbe expanding the Advam ed Placement pro
gram for secondary education.
The fourth focus is on faculty capacity projects.
which are aimed at experimenting with new ways
of teaching. Wright, who is also a member of the
steering committee for the plan, said one of his
ideas is to make graduate teaching fellows give the
lectures for his large math courses and then he
could teach the discussion sections. That way a
( ommon student complaint — that of having lit
tle interaction with actual professors at the Uni
versity — could be eliminated.
The final focus is on assessing how effective
these projei ts are
The key is that any suggestion for increasing
productivity is just an idea, Wright said, "just a
gleam in the eve.”
Administrators >av the International and Honors
Colleges are also important to the University's mis
sion because studies show that these smaller,
interactive programs help give the students a bet
ter fending of belonging
Increasing productivity is a direction the Uni
versity plans to take regardless of the outcome of
the sales tax vote on Nov 9, brand said higher
education in Oregon will continue to lose state
funds even if the sales tax passes; the exodus of
funding will just l>e slower.
