By MATT HORTENSTINE Staff writer The Board of Governors set up a 17-goal plan to attract and retain minority, female and disabled students at its meeting Thursday at Chicago State University. BOG spokesperson Pam Meyer said the steps taken were in· reaction to a 1985 law that requires the Illinois Board of Higher Education to study the problem of disadvantaged student access to public universities and monitor the progress. For the five BOG univer­ sities, the IBHE determined that one plan should be developed. The plan was developed for the BOG by the Systemwide Committee on the Specific Student Groups, said Meyer. The proposal's implementing strategy is intended to strengthen relations between school districts and community colleges in which disad­ vantaged students y Swedringer, a dental hygenist from Lakeland College in afternoon at the dental clinic in the Health Service building. predominate, she said. n, examines Mike Weter, a junior zoology major, Thursday Mollie West, director of public affairs at Chicago State University, said that an annual report from each university stern cutsadmissions off. admissions;comment Thursday a, ppbecauselications he officiating expens uesp; two describing its progress must be It also closed admissions for was traveling back to television licensing agreements made to the BOG. an applications for former Eastern students Charleston from the Chicago totaling $50,250, which will Some of the main points of meeting. allow WEIU to broadcast ''The the plan include: 1988 fall semster at dismissed twice from the - •Encouragment of faculty to are up 46. 7 percent, university on Dec. 11, Rives In his report to the BOG, Untouchables" and "The undert ake acti vi tes rn President Stanely said in a news release.
