The faculty senates at the Univer sity of California at Berkeley and Arizona State University have ap proved versions of the resolution. A vote of the University of Oregon’s University Senate will come Wednesday, and the remaining Pac 10 faculties are expected to consid er the issue before the end of the school year. “I want the professors of Ameri ca to speak up and say there’s a problem here in American educa tion that has to be addressed, and it’s up to the presidents to do it,” Earl said. Earl, president of the University senate, said college sports have be come such a huge business empire that many universities have been unable to control them. He said es calating spending by athletic de partments threatens the core aca demic mission of colleges. At the University, the athletic de / --: partment runs a deficit of about $2 million a year, a shortfall that is made up from the University’s gen eral fund. Earl said he hopes that getting all of the Pac-iO academic senates be hind the resolution will provide some cover for university presi dents, who are under pressure from alumni and fans to expand sports programs in spite of cost concerns and faculty objections. It is hoped that other conferences will follow the Pac-lO’s lead. At ASU, faculty members voted 73-0 to approve the resolution. Pro fessor Doug Johnson, president of the ASU Academic Senate, said while the athletic department at Arizona State isn’t allowed to run a deficit, faculty remain concerned about spiraling spending. Some university presidents share those concerns. University Presi dent Dave Frohnmayer, the Pac lO’s representative to the National Collegiate Athletics Association, said it’s time for universities to con front the issue. “I think we obviously have to do what we can to see that spending is in line,” Frohnmayer said. “We don’t want to get in a situation where we’re looking at escalating deficits.” But he said efforts to control sports spending will have to ad dress potential conflicts with an titrust laws, which limit what uni versities can do as a group to restrict salaries or set spending caps. The NCAA recently lost an an titrust lawsuit over coaches’ salaries that could cost the associa tion tens of millions of dollars. Earl doubts the resolution will stop projects already in progress, such as the $80 million expansion of Autzen Stadium. He also knows that his resolution might not be a hit with sports fans. “I think a lot of people out there tend to think of the University as a sports franchise because athletics is our primary tool for public rela tions,” Earl said. “What the fans have a hard time remembering is that athletics has nothing to do with education. It’s a business we’ve gotten into on the side, and it’s not supporting the educational mission.” The Associated Press 006351 Applying Psychology to the Real World Department of Psychology, Summer Session, 2001 Join us for an exciting summer of Psychology !
