The final set of hearings will be Thursday at 9:30 am. and 3:30 pm. in the Nebraska Union. The 3:30 pm. Thursday hearing has been designated as the one which will concentrate on student reactions. Kaup said students cart attend any of the hearings but Academic Planning Committee members will be most able to direct questions to students at the Thursday afternoon hearing. Each campus must develop a five-year plan because of an NU Board of Regents mandate. The draft is a compilation of five-year plans submitted by each UNL college and non-academic unit such as the budget and finance departments. The draft was written by the chancellor's central plan ning group which includes the chancellor the four vice chancellors and the director of institutional research Kaup said. The hearings have been delayed for two weeks because of the change in administration Kaup said. When Martin Massengale was named chancellor in March he asked to delay the work done by Interim Chancellor Robert Rut ford so Massengale could have input Kaup said. Because the end of the semester is near the hearings were scheduled for next week in order to insure student and faculty inputs Kaup said. The final UNL Five-Year Plan will be written by the chancellor's office later this summer or early fall Kaup said using comments and criticisms gleaned from the hearings.
