Joh11 Burton, chairman Anthony A. Derezinski, vice chairman James Clifton Thomas Guastella Richard N. Robb William Simmons Gene,•a Y. Titsworth l_ -campus Commentary This edition of Eastern Today will focus on the family. Financial difficulties can cause problems in any family. Worries about paying the bills or being able to provide for those we care about strain our relationships. It's a similar situation in the family of higher education. We work harder with fewer resources to provide a quality education for those who depend on us, our students. But in order to continue providing the kind of education they deserve, more money will have to be found. That's why the Presidents Council of State Universities sponsored a series of forums around the state, one of which was co-hosted by Eastern Michigan University. The forums on the "Future of Public Higher Education in Michigan" fo­ cused on the critical need for financial support and strategies to address the problem. A report issued by the Presidents Council shows Michigan's public universities are relying on tuition and fees for a continuously increasing proportion of their revenue. In l 988-89, the level of state appropriation to public colleges and universi­ ties per full-time student was $468 below the national average. Of the fifty states, Michigan was thirty-second in funding per full-time student. The report notes that Pat Moran part of the problem can be attributed to the cyclical nature of Michigan's economy and pressing demands on the state budget to address other critical priorities. At the same time more and more students have been enrolling in public universities in recent years, and the universities are serving an increasingly diverse constituency. There has been a moderate increase in the number of minority students, a sharp increase in the number of women enrolled in higher education, and a substantial increase in the number of students attending school on a part-time basis. Yes, higher education is expensive. But as EMU President William Shelton says, "It's important to look beyond the cost to the value." It's not just the students who attend our universities who benefit, but all of us, our communities, businesses and the state. The students we are educating today are the people we will depend on to lead us in the future. They'll be making decisions which may impact the cost of a new car, for example, or the extent of our social security benefits. On a separate topic entirely, I want you to know I am leaving Eastern Michigan to further pursue the development of my professionalcareer. It has been a great five and one-half years and I will miss all of you as I move on to other challenges. Your support has been most appreciated. Please keep in mind that as EMU alumni your continued efforts to enhance this University will be its true measure of success.

  • Appendix B Selected Faculty and Staff Recognitions and Accomplishments College of Education, Emu 1991-2004
    APPENDIX B SELECTED FACULTY AND STAFF RECOGNITIONS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, EMU 1991-2004 Items in this Appendix were taken from the 1991 through 2004 issues of Monday Re- port.58 The years reflect content in issues of the Monday Report between July 1 of one year through June 30 of the following year. As a result, there may be minor discrepancies in terms of the year when the activity actually occurred. Within each year, entries are in no order, except that they are generally in the order in which they appeared in Monday Report and, as a result, they may or may not be in the order in which they actually occurred. This is undoubtedly an un- der-reporting, in that some faculty members chose not to make their professional activities known at/near the time they happened, reporting them only, and later, in documents for promo- tion/tenure, etc., if at all. In the interest of space, almost all references to titles (except for books) or topics have been omitted. With few exceptions, all references to “time” (dates, “recently,” “next week,” etc.) have been omitted. Verbs have been changed to past tense. Variations on individual’s names are as they were included in the original Monday Report listing, and I apologize for any misspellings or other mis-uses. Frequently-mentioned organizations are given using acronyms, typically after being identified in full once. Questions can legitimately be raised as to why certain types of items are included, espe- cially considering the great bulk of this Appendix. There is a deliberate reason for doing so.
