HKS GIVES FACULTIES NEWS OF CHEER, CHALLENGE
In his address to the Faculties Sept. 12, President Stanford welcomed new and returning members with his customary enthusiasm, enhanced this year he said by the improved quality of the freshman class, as reported by Director of Admissions George Giampetro. Of the 2100 new freshmen anticipated, 56% rank in the top two-fifths of their high school graduating classes as compared with 40% in 1964 and 37% in 1963.
(Other academic developments appear in the President's Report for 1964-65, published Sept. 10. Of particular interest to those concerned with the problems of preserving academic freedom is the President's opening essay, “The University and Anti-Communist Pressure." Copies are in the Deans' offices and are available on request by faculty members in the office of Bryce Dunham, assistant to the president.)
Items of cheer and challenge reported by Dr. Stanford include:
Air conditioning throughout the 7-story faculty wing of the Ashe Building will be underway by Dec. 1, thanks primarily to last year's astute budgeting which produced an addition to the reserve for contingencies of $166,879. Air conditioning of the J. Neville McArthur Engineering Building is in process as a further gift from Mr. McArthur. The Two projects will cost $280,000. For new faculty members, Dr. Stanford explained UM’s fiscal policy, as laid down by the Board of Trustees, is deceptively simple: Balance the Budget, a policy firmly reaffirmed after the revelation of the $20 million deficit chalked up by the University of Pittsburgh.
Salaries will be a major consideration in budget preparations for the next fiscal year. Increases will be based on continued recognition of meritorious performance, recognition of increased requirements in maintaining living standards, and achievement of the AAUP minimum compensation scale for each professional rank, observing the 2% exclusion if appropriate.
Major construction authorized by the Board of Trustees will include Building A of the Science Center, to be underway in October at a total cost of $6,236,077, and a new 800-men residence hall to cost $3,500,000. Funding of the science structure is from the following sources: U.S. Government grant, Title I, PL 84, $1,420,810; Title III Loan, $3,000,000; sale of North Campus and resources from the Golden Anniversary Development Program, $1,815,267. The residence hall, to rise along the south end of the lake, will be funded under the Federal College Housing Act. Completion of both structures is expected by the fall of 1967.
