cast, which is the largest turnout
for a runoff election in recent
years. This large turnout came on
the heels of a record total 505

Project Future
COMMENTARY
by Michael Frerichs, Managing Editor
The unveiling of Project Future was met with somewhat less than
a warm hearted reception. Ideally, the Committee had expected indi-
viduals to respond sublimating their personal concerns to the common
good and the great demrocratic abstraction which they believed had
been presented. For the most part, this did not occur.
A general criticism which I encountered was a questioning of the
Committee’s work as a whole and the practicality of futuristic specula-
tion in light of the University’s immediate needs. At this time of budg-
etary consciousness , the value of a study marked with a price tag in
excess of $30,000was questionable putting the Committee in an un-
comfortable situation.
Another major point of criticism was of the presentation itself.
The bulk of the document and the extensive use of professional jargon
made the report difficult to understand. An individual was hard put to
formulate a comprehensive picture of what was actually being present-
ed. For the most part, the proposals elicited fragmentary responses
with each individual focusing on the area of his primary concern.
There were few at the open meetings who adressed themselves
to the proposals as a whole. The areas dealing with governance and
managerial structure form the core of the proposals. The other pro-
posals are, more or less, dependent upon the efficiency and interaction
of the decision making bodies.
Peter Pesoli, professor of English, made some relevant comments
at the open meetings in regard to managerial structure as pertaining
to the Collegium. In the proposals the Collegium is designated as the
singal most important body in the formation of academic policy. But
Pesoli pointed out that the Collegium’s apparent power is illusory. He
explained that the problem stemmed from the fact that the Collegium
is given the responsibility of designing proposals but no real authority.
In other words, they would not be credited with their own work, but
would be subject to the approval of the Center Coordinating Council.
He also pointed out that representation on the CCC was out of
balance. For example, some 25 faculty members in the Center for
Arts and Humanities are shown as having only one representative on
the Council while the Library Center has equal representation yet
has considerably fewer members.
Another significant point made by Pesoli regarded representation
on the SEU Governing Council. The administrative officials cocupy
five seats while students and faculty are represented by only two
apiece.
