In an overview of Design iI' Diversity, the report states that in lbe area of in- creasingminortty enrollment, Systemwidegoals for rnt- "'rtly freshmen and transfer ltudentsare a 50% increase over current UW System levels by fall 1993 and a 100% increase by 1998. Each insti- tution will establish its own goals, conduct primary reo cruitment within its own geo- graphical area, and work in close cooperation with local ,minority communities and school systems." To aid the multicultural en- vironment in the classroom, the report states, "For the 1988-93 time period, the UW System wm-tncrcase by 75% the number of underrepra, sented new minority faculty and academic staff hired as eompared to the preceding ftve years." Parkside cur- rently has 36 total minority faculty, instructional academ- ic staff and non-instructional academic staff. The report also stated that up' to $100,000 will be ear- marked beginning in 1989 to match institutional develop- ment efforts intended to im- prove ethnic studies. It said "funding should be requested for a systemwide minority faculty recruitment support fund to help institutions com- pete more effectively in the academic marketplace. " Total minority/disadvantaged program funding for the 1986- 8J fiscal year was $2]7,070._ Shaw said in his report that the plans for institutional im- provement of minority educa- tion he was requesting from each institution by January 1989 must include: "an as- sessment of the institutional environment, including stu- dent services, admissions, registration, student pro- gramming. academic per- sonal and finacial counseling, and other aspects of the msn- Madison boycotts UC over scuffle by Abu Hassien The UW·Madlson Student AIeoclaUonwalked out of IJIlitedCouncil General As- :Dlbl y Saturday, Nov. 5, bOY- ~ lling the meeting because a physical assault by ~d Governance Director Pre MCGinnison Madison Co- 11lu81dentNoel Radomski on fail rsday, Nov. 3, and the Iak UTe of United Council to e lIJlmediateaction. ~aret McCormick, dre n CO-PreSident, ad- Ihe ';d thedisappointment of G, adisondelegation to the ~etaJ Assembly and the ~ dent'scommittee for not ~c<:~ an,yaction to prevent Saturcta s attendance at the "0 y summit, froDl ur delegates must hide halls staff members ...in the Ue IIIand stalTWeUs (during Illlck eellngS)," said McCor- the IX, She contin,;,ed, stating by MYcottof Umted Council discl;:,sonWllJcontinue until "I'\Te ary action is taken. lion, Ie he.ard talk of suspen- iIlclle rrmnatlon Without pay, ~nnln n:'matlO n With pay, To t10n w a e someone, the ac- tauyOUldhave to be' specifi- Iol>'t related to the job.

There were no wit- nesses to the event, although McGinnis has admitted to the physical assault. McGinnis presented the in- cident to the Shared Gov~- nance committee for thetr reaction, and denies that it was related to United Coun- cil. I .'His explanation was e 0- quent," observed Jon Hear- ron, Parkside delegate to tl~e -Shared Governance commIt- tee "He admitted what he did' was wrong. He gained the support arid confidence of the committee with the exceptIon of Madison." . 'It's a personal affaIr. I wasn't acting as a membet: of United Council, I was actmg as Rob McGinnis," stated McGinnis. Although he was present at the Saturday meetln/?, McGinnis had informed hIS commit.tee that he would not be in attendance. The Gener- al Assembly was, according to Hearron, "supportive and pleased by his decision to at- tend." "1 find it ironic that in Sep- tember, Madison requested General Assembly to overlook their failure to pay for mem- bership for the summer. A liberal compromise, one. that strongly favored Madison, was reached. Now, they want to be strict on this, going as far as a walkout if they don't get what they waJ?t." sai~ Ross Pettit, PSGA vtce-Prest- dent and delegate to Direc- tor's committee. "Parkside could never get that kind of leverage." . It was discovered m Sep- tember that Madison failed to pay for membership for the previous three months, al- though they did vote and par- ticipate as a full member. General Assembly decided t? require payment from MadI- son for only a portion of the debt, requiring them to cover the costs of Unit~d Councl1 programming in Madison. . t "Let's stick to our name, commented Smith. "United Council. We're not very united when one of our m~m- bers walks. What MadIson wanted was a reaction. Now. we need to get all the facts and determine the best course of action." new program tutional setting and reward systems that might affect mi- nority enrollment and reten- tion." Chancellor Sheila Kaplan assigned goals to each of th senior officers on campus to meet the January deadline. Grace said Student Affairs is 'working on two issues at present. , The first is a racial conduct policy, to which Grace has al- ready appointed a committee. "That committee is to come up wilb a proposed racial conduct, non-dlscrtmtnatory policy for the campus relative to racial misconduct, racism, racial slurs and anything that has to do with discriminatory behavior towards minori- ties," he said. The committee wlll be looking at pollcies some of the other campuses in the system have already passed to formulate their own policy. The second major goal is See Design, page 4 Changes in add/drop policy have been recommended for Fall 1,989 Jon Hearron Editor-In-Cbief Parkside's add/drop pollcy was recently reviewed by the Academic Policies committee in accordance with a man- date by the Board of Regents. The mandate requires that any university having a drop rate exceeding five percent must review their add/drop policy. Last year, Parkside's drop rate was 5.4 percent. The eight member Academ- ic Policies committee has for- warded two recommendations to the Universtiy committee, according to Chairperson Jeanie Thomas. The first pro- posed change is to limit the number of credits that can be registered for during early registration. Presently, the upper limit for early registra- tion is 20 credits. The second proposal would entail the administrative drop of any student not attending class for the first week. Ac- cording to Thomas, "This may already be an option open to professors. If this the case. all that needs to be done is remind people (professors) that this Is something lbey can do." Students would be allowed to register for these classes again. Thomas stated, "These changes have shown positive results on other campuses around the state." Thomas also added that Parkside Is not that far from the five per- cent level targeted by the Board of Regents. If the Uni- versity committee and the Faculty Senate are in favor of these recommended changes, they will be implemented by the 1989 Fall semester. Inside...

Design for Diversity was a report given to the Board of Regents by President Kenneth Shaw In April of this year. as an improvement to his earlier proposal to address ml- nority affairs. A Shared Commitment. This report is a plan out1in1ng a course of action to be taken by each sys- tem campus to improve and increase minority programs. awareness. enrollment and retention. Design for Diversity targets the minority segment of the UW System student body. The systemwide plan sets goals of a 50 percent Increase over current levels of minority freshmen and transfer stu- dents by 1993 and a 100 percent Increase by 1998. The UW System Is committing a great deal of financial and staff resources to this program and rightly so. The question is: will we reach these goals or Is it just another program that will fall by the wayside? What makes us think we can now achieve new goals in the area of minori- ty affairs when we haven't in the past? One minority student said. HI never felt like a minority until I came to Parkside. It This raises another question: will Design for Diversity segment and Isolate minority students from the mainstream of the student body by bringing so much focused attention to them? We hope not. Though ethnic student enrollment this academic year is up 6.5 percent over last year's figures. Parkside has a long way to go to meet the System mandated goal. For one thing, the administration could begin by finding out where Ute University stands in relation to where we need to be by 1993. No office on campus has statistics available on the retention rate of minority" freshmen and transfer students. Retention Is the first Issue addressed (page one. first paragraph) In the UW System's Design for Diversity. Also, has any evaluation been earrted out on the effecti- veness of past minority student recruitment efforts and the advantages of having an office the sole mission of which is to serve minority students? The Ranger endorses this proposal. and will do what It can to help the University fulfill its goals in this area. but until answers are found to questions such as the above. the prospects for its successful implementation are up in the air. by Jon Hearron Give it a 'college try'...

Next week's story will deal with some possible solutions for these students and the Uni- versity as a whole. The posters have been hung around campus. "Do you know a student being forced out of Parkside because of Welfare or AFDC? Equal op- portunlty Is a lie when the poor are routinely denied a college education. WEJT does just that!"

The program is run through both Racine and Kenosha. Single mothers used to be exempt from this program until their oldest child turned sIX years old. On July 1 of this year the State passed new legislation stating that the exemption age had been dropped down to when the oldest child turns two years a old. This Is where the conflict begins. Sherry Thomas, Director of the Child Care Center on campus, explained that the WEJT program. in most cases, allows a maximum of two years of education.
