Brandt and Frank Horton, vice president for academic affairs and research, came to the Student Senate meeting Wednesday to answer questions on the new adm.ission policy to be presented to the Board of Trustees in October. The proposal would not "change the number of people admitted to the University," Brandt explained. It will classify those who need special assistance, he said. In the past, Brandt said, there has been a conflict between what the University has promised students and what it has provided. " We tell students that they are ad­ mitted under norm .. : admission sUm· dards and then turn around and flunk them out within one or two semesters," Brandt said. Some ol the senators expressed concern over the impact the policy would have on minority students in the University. Horton said the effect on minority students was taken into con­ sideration when the proposal was adopted.
