Administration's Tool

"The committee structure has
been criticized as a tool used by the
Administration to delay consideration
or effectuation of proposed
change. I feel that much of this
criticism stems from a lack of
knowledge, on the part of students,
about the committee structure,"
Mr. Hickman said.

"I feel strongly that more
student participation in this area,
and it naturally follows, more
communication with students
about the committees, will serve to
allay this criticism. I feel the
committees provide a means by
which rational and meaningful
change may be accomplished within
the University, and offer an excellent
opportunity for student participation,"
he explained.
