"I am convinced that completely fresh approaches can result in some new models that can teach more effectively and do so at less cost," he said. President Hasselmo will appoint a search committee for Heydinger's replacement this week. II· "I've known Rick throughout his tenure at the University and have witnessed firsthand the contributions he has made in the University's vast endeavor to reshape itself as a force for the future," Hasselmo said. "I'm also grateful for Rick's ability to recognize talent in others. Because of that skill, he's leaving the University with a thriving team of professionals who are ensuring that the University lives up to its potential." Governor Arne Carlson's decision to recommend to the legislature the restoration of $23 million in previously I vetoed funds for 19 state specials at the U is "very welcome news," President Hasselmo said. Restoring the $23 million will now require legislative action, which may come as soon as this week. f f i State faces a $340 million deficit, and Carlson said he expects all 4 higher education systems and the state,s 424 school districts to share in next year's budget cuts. The U has agreed to discuss with the legislature "the possibility of folding some, but not all, legislative specials into the University's regular operations and maintenance budget to facilitate priority setting across all types of programs and funds," Hasselmo said.
