              $500,000 Earmarked for Undergrad Enrichment
President Henry King Stanford has announced on behalf of the University of Miami
Board of Trustees that the Board has authorized one half million dollars to be used for
undergraduate enrichment during the current academic year. These funds are to be
raised as part of a special campaign effort which was proposed to the Board by R. B.
Gautier, Jr. Chairman of the Board, and are intended to supplement existing undergraduate academic programs in those areas demonstrating the greatest need of
support in relationship to student participation qualitatively and quantitatively.
Receiving major portions of the funds will be the Otto G. Richter library and a
proposed Teaching Facilitation Laboratory. Other monies will be used for audio-visual
and laboratory equipment, expansion of the Residential Academic Program, and for
distinguished visiting lecturers who will concentrate on the enrichment of undergraduate
programs.
Richter Library's funds will provide additional support in book acquisitions and in
student services. Among possible additional services are a student lounge area, an extension of library hours and services and an enlargement of video-tape cassette and other
special programs. A student / faculty / aclministration committee will be responsible for
final determination of these expenditures. Membership on the committee will come from
Undergraduate Student Government, the University Library Committee and University
library administrative staff.
The Teaching Facilitation Laboratory (TFL) will be a cooperative project of the Office
of the Dean of Faculties, the School of Education and the Division of Communications
Services. It will provide assistance to faculty members seeking help in developing instructional techniques and resources.
The thesis for the proposed laboratory is that quality education requires both the
identification and utilization of all the available University resources which can be
mobilized to enhance teacher-learned communication. These resources include administrators, professors, students, technicians, media and materials.
TFL will be multi-purpose, but it will be designed principally to permit University
instructors and prospective teachers to take part in the following activities:
•Informal instruction in new methods of curriculum development and learning
•Informal instruction in the latest developments in instructional research and
evaluation
•Short-course seminars in the preparation and utilization of instructional communication
• The development of experimental instructional materials which will include the
formulation of independent learning packages for individualized instruction
• Make available current sources of commercially prepared instructional materials
• Eventually, to provide short-course training of multi-media library and resource
center personnel
TFL will be available as a resource facility for instructors wishing to improve their
teaching skills.
Funds for the Residential Academic Program will enable its extension to other dormitory areas.
Funds for audio-visual and laboratory equipment will be used to replace worn out and
out of date equipment. Among departments receiving new equipment will be physics,
biology and communications.
"We are extremely pleased that the Board of Trustees has recognized the University's
