Information from the hear- ing will be considered by the Regents in preparation of a final report to be pre- sented to Governor Tommy Thompson and the legisla- ture later this year. The public hearing follows an eight-month study of the UW System, conducted by the Regents with participa- tion of UW faculty, staff, students, elected officials and the public. The docu- ment from the study enti- tled "Study of the UW System in the 21st Century" addresses the key chal- lenges and opportunities facing public higher educa- tion in Wisconsin during a time of competing demands for state resources. The Board of Regents of the UW System is seeking feedback from the campus and community on the cost, quahty, and accessibility of a UW System education. A public hearing, to be chaired by Regent Michael Grebe, will be held in Milwaukee and downlinked on compressed video to the Parkside campus on April 2. The hearing will be held .from 3 to 6 p.m. in Studio B of the Communication Arts building. Individuals at the Parkside site are invited to share their views on the future of the University in the areas of access to UW programs, higher education affordability, fostering learning and improving the efficiency of the UW System. During the hearing, testi- mony from the public will be communicated to the Board of Regents live. Due to limited time, those who • Kristine Hansen News Editor I Beginning July 1, 1996, three of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside's col- legeswill consolidate into two.The School of Education, the School of LiberalArts, and the Schoolof Business will be I consolidated into the Collegeof Liberal Arts and Sciencesand the School of , Business and Technology. The College of Arts and Scienceswill consist of 21 departments. The School of Business and Technology willmerge the department ofComputer Science and Engineering with the Schoolof Business. The Schoolof Education will be categorized under the Collegeof Arts and Sciences. Last spring, the Budget AdvisoryCommittee sug- gested reducing costs through reorganization by reducing the number of schools."There was a dis- cussion by Faculty Senate ofvarious models; finally it came down to this particu- lar option," said Robert Canary, Secretary of Faculty. How will this affect stu- dents in the School of Education? "What happens at the upper level between faculty and administration doesn't affect the students and classes being taught," said Sharon Petrach, advi- SOrto Education students. Canary said, "I think it largely affects the adminis- tration, but not students. What. affects them is stu- dent affairs and courses offered." Canary played an Barbara Shade to go under severe budget cuts. . Dwayne Olsen, Education professor, said.Tt's been talked about all year long. There's been t.wo or three proposals floating around. I don't t.hink anybody knew until last week's Faculty Senat.e meet.ing. That's when t.hey decided on it.. Just what. it. was going to be, no one knew." "It's really been in progress for over a year. This is something that a lot of institutions in the sys- tem are doing," said Canary. Shade will be stepping down to the level of a facul- ty professor. Shade has served as dean since 1987. When asked how she feels about leaving her dean position, Shade said, "Not a problem. I've been there twelve years. I'd planned to leave anyway. I'd done all I can do." A search for an interim dean is being con- ducted right now. The search for Shade's perrna- administrative role in drafting the restructuring. Parkside Education pro- fessors had known about the proposals for restruc- turing but were recently informed of the change. Students had heard news of the possible change but dismissed it as a rumor. "I'm sure she [Shade] has known about it for months," said Mary Waller, former Parkside professor of education. Barbara Shade, present- ly dean of the School of Education, said, "They don't seem to be happy with it." Education professor Clara New said,"There's not been any formal plan put before the faculty. [Plans] are constantly in writing." The Vice ChancellorlProvost John Ost.heimer orally proposed the possible restructuring in a Faculty Senate meet- ing last fall. Canary said that the School of Education is the smallest of the three and would have been the first Parkside to Focus on Women Notestein (D-Milwaukee). Other speakers include Ana Garcia-Ashley, a Milwaukee activist, and Mary Gonzalez, a Chicago community orga- nizer. Music will be per- formed by Judy Gorman, a New York singer. The conference, which runs from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the Union, costs $20 including lunch or $15 with- out lunch. For more infor- mation, call 595-2177. The 8th annual Focus on Women Conference sched- uled for March 30 on cam- pus will feature talks by three state representatives. Sponsored by the UW- Parkside Women's Studies Advisory Committee, the Focus on Women Conference will include talks by state Senators Gwendolynne Moore (D-Milwaukee), and Peggy Rosenzweig (R- Wauwatosa), as well as Representative Barbara Cont. on p. 2 Reorganization Cant. from I nent replacement will begin in October. When Shade became Dean in 1987, speculation began about the School's procedures. "Shade was not chosen by the usual search commit- tee. She was just put in and no one was ever asked. She was suddenly raised to Dean," said Waller. "They can't pretend they did [a search}, there wasn't one, We were never asked. One day she was a fac- ulty person acting as department chair. Then she was promoted to Dean. It happened so improperly, without faculty input," said Waller. About the Journal Times front page article last week, Canary said, "I thought that was quite silly," referring to the singling out of Shade. There has been' some general dis- satisfaction with the College of Education. Parkside Student Government Association (PSGA) members Zac Pawlowski and April Schoenberg, both education stu- dents, will hold a forum for con- cerned education students. "We would like to provide the opportunity for students to share their concerns .and provide con- structive criticisms of the depart- ment in an open forum to be held later in the semester," the letter reads. And "We would like to givestu- dents the chance to share some of their experiences, good or bad, without repercussions. This is not intended to be a hostile environ- ment nor an environment of charac- ter assassination, instead we hope it will provide an arena for students to freely discuss a variety of stu- dent concerns." Students that would be interested in participating in this forum can contact Pawlowski or Schoenberg in the PSGA office. Pawlowski can be reached bye-mail at . pawlowsz@it.uwp.edu. _ "There are a lot of students who have transferred to [other schools]. There's been unequal treatment of students due to race. I think [Shade's] policies and behaviors are race-based," said Waller. One student in the Education pro- gram said, "There's favoritism towards students who comply with professor's beliefs." The Business department will be able to offer better job opportunities for its graduates. "Every single graduate [should be matched with] a job. Putting them together, we can increase our sources. Both pro- grams can use more students. The employers of the region would like more graduates," said Richard Brown, dean of the School of Business. Brown will serve as dean of the School of Business and Technology effective July 1. "It will certainly help students in that we'll be able to more effectively find ways for computer science and business programs to work togeth- er. By putting the two programs in the same school, we can improve advising dramatically," said Brown. "There are some program syner- gies between MIS (Management Information Systems) and computer science. We'll work together gaining corporate support to purchase hard- ware and software," said Brown. "I think students will gain a greater visibility for the field in general. I think it makes perfect sense," said Brown. "There are those who would have preferred no dean at all, for exam- ple. There were some people who would have preferred to retain the status quo. [But] there was agree- ment that for most people, this is a reasonable compromise," said Canary. A similar two-school structure was at Parkside in 1970. "We've come full circle. Four schools is a bit too big.for a college this size," Canary said. While money is a big factor in the restructuring of the university, there may be other reasons. When asked why the change, Shade said, "I have no idea; I suppose budget cuts." "The state is reducing its invest- ment in our public and higher edu- cation. For computer programs to be state-of-the-art and up to date, we need [corporate] help," said Brown. By reducing administrative over- head, Parkside will save $71,000 in the next fiscal year, as stated in the Journal Times. his friends in Europe to hear Gorman. While in Germany, Gorman recorded her first album, which was later released under a Milwaukee-based label in the late 1980's. Her recording was nomi- nated for album of the year in New York. Gorman has per- formed in ten coun- tries and forty states. She looks forward to her visit to Wisconsin and she recalls many wonderful experiences playing here. She will be presenting a con- cert of her original songs which reflect her political and social concerns, love issues, womanhood, and our endangered environ- ment. Gorman will present her lecture, "The History of Women and Music from Ancient to Contemporary Times," at noon on April 1 in Union 207. Her con- cert is scheduled in Union Square for 7:30 that evening. Gorman will also make a spe- cial appearance at the Focus on Women Conference held at the Parkside Union Saturday March 30, from 8:30-3:30 pm. with a personal crisis in her own life, Gorman evolved from a woman too intimi- dated to pursue her dream to an accom- plished singer, song- writer and lecturer. Gorman is a self- taught musician whose biggest inspirations were abolitionist Harriet Tubman and blues great Alberta Hunter, who sang well into her 70's. Gorman began her professional singing career in her late twenties. Had she started at a younger age, she thinks she may have had more opportunities due to society's focus on youth. However, her age and wisdom have created more success for her because she has been extremely focused and commit- ted. Gorman claims she is free of any youthful illusions. Gorman's career moved into high gear when well-known folk musician Pete Seeger invited her to an inter- national music confer- ence in Germany. Seeger was impressed by Gorman's perfor- mance at an environ- mental festival he had organized and wanted "This iswhat I do!" Folk singer to perform • Andrea Kreft Guest Writer For Brooklyn native Judy Gorman, singing was a dream. Deep inside she carried the passion to sing. Receiving little encour- agement when she was younger, no one seemed to understand her vision. Today, Gorman claims, "Music has become a metaphor for becoming myself. I can't even imagine myself doing anything else for a liv- ing." Gorman will be a featured lecturer and performer as part of the activities sched- uled by the University of Wisconsin-Parkside for Women's History Month. Gorman's lec- ture will focus on the history of women in music. She believes women can conquer the odds and move their lives forward in whatever direction they may choose. "The most important thing in achieving your goals is to become unam- bivalent, unapologetic, and unconditionally committed," said Gorman. "Tobe able to say with pride, this is what I dO'" By coming to grips Note for English Majors Sigma Tau Delta,the English honors society,is accepting new members.
