News brief
GPA requirements
to change for 2004-05
The University’s admission stan
dards were changed Thursday at an
Oregon University System Strategic
Planning Committee meeting at Ore
gon State University. However, the
University’s GPA requirement will re
main fixed at its goal of 3.25 for 2003
04 and the change to high school sub
ject-areas requirement won’t take
place until the 2004-05 school year.
For the University of Oregon, high
school students must soon complete
16 required subject areas before ad
mittance; the standard was previous
ly set at 14. The committee made
greater changes to admission stan
dards of Portland State University
and Oregon Institute of Technology.
Both institutions will raise their min
imum GPA requirements from 2.50
to 3.00, leaving Western Oregon Uni
versity and Southern Oregon Univer
sity as the two remaining OUS
schools with minimum GPA require
ments below 3.00.
OUS spokeswoman Diane Saunders
said reasons for the admission changes
varied from institution to institution,
but that universities mainly wanted to
update their standards to better fit pro
files of incoming students.
Saunders added that increasing
admission standards did not indicate
that the board is attempting to curb
enrollment in light of decreasing
state funding.
“The board is far away from deter
mining whether something like that
is necessary,” she said. “Something
nobody wants to do is limit access.”
She said the board is currently in
the information gathering stage of
weighing the positive and negative
affects of limiting enrollment. While
the board recognizes that educa
tional quality could be harmed with
increased enrollment and de
creased state funding, it also wants
to assess how students will be
harmed by limiting access.

Recall
continued from page 1
position that had not been funded at
the group’s previous budget hearing.
Career Center Director Larry Smith
said the group wanted the GTF po
sition because it would help them
make the Career Center’s budget
more efficient by replacing some of
the work that was done by three full
time staff members. Committee
members said they were impressed
by this creative budget solution and
allocated #4,856 for the GTF posi
tion, and approved the Career Cen
ter’s budget at #215,181 for 2003
04, a 16.45 percent increase.
A representative for the Survival
Center appeared at Thursday’s
meeting to ask PFC to grant the
group an extension of its deadline
to appeal because it had missed its
original deadline because of un
foreseen problems. However, PFC
stood firmly behind its established
process and decided not to grant
the extension.
Finally, PFC read and approved
budget totals for four groups that
had been misread at previous hear
ings. Oregon Future Lawyers Asso
ciation’s budget for 2003-04 was
83,526, a 14.65 percent decrease.
PFC approved the Ecological Design
Center’s total budget at 818,372, a
8.13 percent increase. Land Air Wa
ter’s budget for 2003-04 was
817,048 a 1.08 percent decrease.
PFC had allocated a total of 853,622
to Conflict Resolution Services for
2003-04, a 15.29 percent increase.
