AAU
continued from page 1
Tl;e University had never hosted
the conference since it became a
member of the organization in 1969.
The University is not scheduled to
host another conference for at least
another 62 years.
"We've been privileged to host the
AAU for the last two-and-a-half days,"
University President Dave Frohnmay
er said at a press conference Tuesday.
Frohnmayer added that it is an honor
for the University to be part of the as
sociation because members are ad
mitted based on "excellence and re
search and production of knowledge
in the academic endeavor."
Areas of discussion at the meeting
included the role North American re
search universities should play in ad
dressing global issues such as terror
ism, economic equality and health
crises. AAU representatives also talked
about the need to increase the role of
the humanities at research universi
ties.
The meeting also drew CIA Direc
tor George Tenet to the University.
AAU Vice Chairman Mark S.
Wrighton said Tenet stressed the need
for universities to create programs
that develop students' understanding
of culture, economics and religions so
universities can play their part in pro
viding talented individuals to organi
zations such as the CIA.
Other areas of discussion included
the status of affirmative action since
the latest U.S. Supreme Court deci
sions regarding the University of
Michigan's admissions cases, as well
as interdisciplinary research and edu
cation.
John T. Casteen, AAU chairman
and president of the University of Vir
ginia, said discussions focused on
ways to emphasize and support the
humanities.
"This is an unusual issue for the
AAU because most of our common
dealings have to do with the sciences,"
Casteen said.
Frohnmayer said representatives
from about three-quarters of the
member institutions attended the
meeting to discuss several issues con
cerning policy and educational re
search. Frohnmayer added that the
University's role as a research institu
tion is important.
"It's really quite critical and it
means a great deal in (the Pacific
Northwest) that we have some part of
this nature of responsibility," he said.
Wrighton, also the chancellor of
Washington University in St. Louis,
said he was glad to attend the meeting
at the University and made a point to
mingle with students during his stay
here.
"We had just a great time," he said.
"I found some very delightful stu
dents interested in their institution
and learning and making a contribu
tion to their community.''
AAU President Nils Hasselmo said
he was impressed with the campus
and noted that the University should
be proud to be a part of the organiza
tion.
"That is a mark, a badge of honor,
because membership is by invitation
only," he said, adding that Frohnmay
er and his staff were very hospitable.
"They have set truly outstanding stan
dards for hospitality, both in terms of
intellectual content of the experience
and in tenns of the warmth and beau
ty of this campus."
