A currently circulating proposal to realign the general education and lover division programs at CSUF has quickly drawn
negative faculty response.
' Tbe History Department and
members of the English Department have criticized the proposal, which calls for the creation
of an overseertng University College (UC) structure to coordinate
aU lower division and general education courses at CSUF.
Dr. Stephen Benko, chairman of
the history department, aald that
atameetingheIdDec.6tocUscuss
the proposal, tbe department faculty unanimously voted to oppose
tbe establishment of the proposed
UC at CSUF.
Tbe major objection, said Dr.
Benko, is that a UC "wouldn't
contribute significantly to the
educational process, and would
simply establish another administrative tayer" at CSUF.
The-UC propvsal ■currently
being circulated among univer
sity faculty was drafted by members of an Academic Planning and
Policy (AP*P)AdHoc Committee
on the Addition, Dissolution, or
Restructuring of Schools and Divisions as part of the overall university revampment campaign at
CSUF.
According to the Ad Hoe Com-

"We want the faculty to look
at tbe proposal and think about
lt as merely a possible reorganization idea—a think plan and
nothing more,"said Dr. Shanks.
The response has been Immediate and critical. "While the

Dr. Shanks said that links bete- een various courses fullflUIng

the University College through
enhanced communication and ar-
Iculation between instructors
and various departments, schools
and community colleges.
Dr. Shanks said the committee

proposal, but It is looking tor

In 197S, Alqulst introduced SB

the establishment of a two-year
pilot program at San Jose State
University and California State

The pilot program allows persons over tbe age of 60 to enroll
In regular courses without the

The reason for limiting tbe project within only two of the 19 campuses was explained by Stephen
Horn, President of Long Beach
State. "Senator Alqulst, who
conies from Santa Clara County
and who is a senior member of
tbe Legislature, put In tbe legislation originally to permit all of
our campuses to offer such a
program. Eventually, lt was compromised since there was worry about cost impact."
Senator Alqulst Is again pursuing the possibilily of extending
the pilot program to the other

said Benko.
/ According to Benko, "it would
be academically unacceptable to
create a structure (the UC) for
which no philosophical basis has
been established."
Benko said that many of tbe
things mentioned In tbe UC doc-
ranant have been done before or
are being done within existing
university structures without
creating a new administrative
structure.
Similar reservations are shared
by English Department Chairman
Dr. Kenneth Sleb and English instructor Dr. William Cowling.
Dr. Sleb said " it's difficult
to see tbe necessity for a UC
when existing structures are
more than adequate," and added
that the English Department is
studying the proposal most cant-
tusly.
"There doesn't seem to be a
compelling' urgency to alter the
existing structures to create a
new administrative level of authority," said Dr. Cowling.
