Editorial The constitutional plan is a universitywide doc- trine of objectives for the future of Eastern upon which new planning at all levels of the university will be based. After months of semantic argu- ments among CUPB members, the constitutional plan was drafted and redrafted, and to cover the university’s vast range of academics and adminis- trative structure, the wording of the plan was left cloudy and widely interpretive in its meaning. In Eastern’s hierarchal subculture of councils, task forces, committees and strategic planning, it probably helps to go through the motions and for- malities of having something official on paper. But in real life, no one really cares whether the university has declared in one of its objectives that it will “ensure that Eastern is nationally rec- ognized as a traditional, residential university of high academic standing.” People now want to know how Eastern intends to do so, and they would like to set aside the mission-statement lan- guage in favor of something more straightfor- ward. From a student perspective, no one really cares whether the university now intends to officially “encourage” learning experiences like internships or study-abroad programs. Granted, the constitu- tional plan no longer requires these learning experiences as some of its earlier drafts did, but a No democratic reform to develop a working class society student interested in an internship wants to know your turn based upon Marxist-Leninist ideas (per- that his or her academic department is doing will save capitalism manent revolution).
