"They don't know how (to improve the system),” said ludith Rama lev. Portland State president. "They only know something needs to happen to prepare higher education in the state for the rapidly changing economic and social conditions that we are now experiencing in Oregon " Joseph Cox, chancellor of the Board ol Higher Education, is the chief proponent ol the changes “We will focus on reex timming what resounc-s we have available to us and whether we are using those resources to do tlie right thing, in the right place, in the right way," Cox said in a statement released to the media lust week A two-university model is only one of many possible si »*• norms Co* hopes to have ready for the board to consider Others include < mating a sin gle board of education governing all institutions from kinder garten to college, rather than a separate board for higher edui a lion and another for the other levels, allowing campuses to Iw’come public corporations, and transferring half of state higher education funds into vouchers to be used to pay for state public or private schools Another restructuring possi bility is to merge programs, making Portland the system's engineering, high-tech and inter national business center Frohnmavor said restructuring the system of higher education could benefit the University by allowing it to deliver services to more areas. "It would allow us to be in more places than one and it would expand our geographit and educational presence," In said. Cox said changes in higher education are needed now due to limited state and student resources. "Because both the state's and the resources of students ore limited, we will need to find more cost-effective ways to EXISTING STATE SCHOOLS University ot Oregon Oregon State University Portland State University Western Oregon State College Southern Oregon State College Eastern Oregon State College Oregon Institute ot Technology Denies BOlT*"'•'Me touch." he said Tim Griffin, the hoard’s vice i ham el lor of corporate and pub lit affairs, said the board has received mixed reviews on how it handles the education system We've had funding cut after funding cut. end we've had lioth positive and critical comments about how the system of higher education delivers." he said. Frohnmayer said now is a good time for restructuring bei a use business communities are realizing how valuable high er education is "Business leaders are really seeing higher education as one of the guiding forces of econom ic strength in the future." Frohn mayer said Me also said that restructuring the system may encourage investment in higher education, which may he needed because more people will be going to col leges and universities In the next four years, high schools will graduate 30 percent more students than in 1995. which means more students will he attending colleges and universities. Frohnmayer said. The two-university system is only an idea, hut concerns are already being raised Critics of the plan think the dual system could threaten uni versity independence and fuel rivalries “In the past five* years. espe f lallv due to the refocusing of rosmm i’s a ft u r Ballot Measure 5. universities have become more and more distinct from each other." Rnmalev said She is concerned a two-uni versity model would rob Port land State of its urban university uniqueness. “I'm guessing, because I've gotten very little information to judge the possible impact, but those schools that have chosen strategies like this in the past have not promoted institutional distinctiveness.” she said Ramalev believes the two-uni versity model would make the higher education system more rigid when the system needs more flexibility arid specializa tion to respond to a rapidly changing Oregon, she said "It isn't dear to me from what I’ve seen whether PSl' would retain its distinctive urban uni versity mission." Steven Reno, president at Southern Oregon State, in Ash land saiti that he doesn't have enough information to form on opinion of the proposal, which u tar only teems.to call for .1 name change. "All I know from the proposal is the name of my college would change to UO at A." Reno said. However, he said if that name change includes being managed by the University of Oregon or 1m*< oming one of its satellites, "It is unacceptable and it would compromise the identity, integrity and the autonomy of this institution." Ramalev likened the push to revamp higher education to being at the start of a race and knowing where the finish line is. but having no idea how to get there. The start is knowing that higher education needs to he integrated into the rest of the state's investment strategy, and the finish line is the successful implementation of whatever plan will best accomplish this goal, she said. But until then higher educa tion officials are left running in circles. “Is it a sprint, or a cross-coun try race7" Ramalev asked. "I don't know."
