.Higher costs for students 'inappropriate'

In the commencement address at Oakland University last month, Pres. Clifton IT IS TRUE, of course, that the individual does benefit substantially from a R. Wharton Jr. discussed the imaitcial problems of higher education, particularly college or university degree, even though it is difficult to estimate the private costs the trend toward higher tuition rates. Following highlights from that speech. and the private benefits ...... Given the growing complexity of our increasingly interdependent world, one could easily argue that the social benefits from improved community decisions due * * * to higher education are at least equal to the current costs of providing instruction in our public colleges and universities. There are many explanations and even more rationalizations for the fiscal The significance of education in general economic growth is without question. problems faced by higher education today. To a great extent, these problems have Less understood, perhaps, is the role of our institutions of higher education in the been created and intensified by a number of simultaneous developments such as production and distribution of knowledge' which contributes generally to the level constantly increasing educational costs and similarly increasing demands for of productivity of the economy and thus results in higher incomes for all workers educational services; an economic downturn coupled with continued inflation; and - unskilled skilled, managerial and professional. That workers in general b.enefit a major decline in federal support of academic research. Incidents of so-called from our accumu1ated knowledge, rather than simply those who have acquired 11 "campus unrest" no doubt have also influenced an anti-education attitude among higher education, is indicated by the high incomes of unskilled workers in some legislators and the public.

But in the search for new and improved methods for supporting a social institution so vital to our society, there is one trend which I * * * consider most inappropriate and undesirable: Namely, the trend toward shifting a larger and larger share of the costs of an education to the student. NO ONE WOULD disagree that a student should pay a fair share ofthe costs of ... Everyone is aware that the total costs of education are rising; students and his education, even though there are likely to be disagreements as to what parents have been equally aware that the costs which they must pay have also constitutes a "fair share." What is objectionable is the presently escalating shift been rising. What has not been as readily evident is a twofold trend: First, the away from public support toward greater private support. share of total costs which is paid by students has been increasing; and second, There are a number of serious consequences if this trend persists, such as the there has been a pronounced shift away from grants and scholarships toward such impact on the equality of access for the disadvantaged and on the allocation of devices as loans and income contingency plans so that there has been an even resources within the university ... further increase in the total actual burden borne by an average student or his That higher education in all its varieties is in financial crisis is beyond question. parent. What many of us have failed to realize is that the scale of the fmancial difficulties This trend and these proposals run so wholly counter to the major reason for makes this not just an economic but a social policy crisis as well. Thus it becomes public education that the fallacies underlying them should be examined most a political problem of major significance. Higher education does not operate in a carefully so that the public may judge whether such steps are truly in the public social or political vacuum, and we may not avoid the social and political interest ... implications of what we do and say about our fiscal problems in higher education.

Rhoda E. Weiss, Livonia senior, was selected by the Senior Class Council to speak at commencement. In her address, Miss Weiss criticized many of the University's athletic policies and suggested that they be studied: "Here at MSU, I recommend the establishment of a President's Commission on Athletics to investigate all aspects of all athletics--scholarships, recruiting procedures, drugs, injuries, cheating, sponsors, academics and so on."
