Unaware Of Trend
Information and research exerts
the optimal pressure on the points
which should now be our major
areas of concern: the General
Assembly and the Board of Visitors
— not because they are the source
of our problem, but because they
are the means by which expansion
may be halted.
Recent discussions have made it
obvious that members of the
General Assembly are not aware of
the trend toward expansion for
they see the situation in
increments. No real decision can be
made by anyone when they are
deprived of information. The
University administration should
begin by releasing to the legislature
and general public the full details of
its expansion plans through 1980
and beyond.
As for the Board of Visitors, all
that is needed is the courage to
make the decision they know is
right and stand by it. If the real
villain in this tale is the formula
used to determine the University's
funding, the Board should take a
firm stand against that formula,
rather than against students and the
University.
