UNL Faculty Senate recommends
retaining open admissions policy
My Jeff Goodwin
The Faculty Senate voted Tuesday af
ternoon to recommend to NU President
Ronald Roskens that the university keep
its present policy of open admissions.
At their March 27 meeting the NU
Hoard of Regents directed Roskens to
"forthwith consult with the faculties and
others to prepare and recommend specific
standards or requirements of admission,
or a combination thereof, to be presented
to the Board of Regents for its considera
tion at the meeting on May 15, 1982."
In voting to retain the present admis
sions policy, the senate rejected three op
tions which were presented by the Coun
cil of Academic Officers acting on behalf
of the administration.
The first option would have set subject
matter as the criteria for admission.
Under that option 4 years of English,
3 years of mathematics, 2 years of labora
tory science and 2 years of social sciences
would be required of all freshmen entering
the University of Nebraska. Students who
did not meet those requirements would be
allowed to enroll on a special basis if they
take courses to make up their deficiencies.
The second option would admit stu
dents if a) they had an ACT score of 1 7 or
better; b) graduate in the upper half of
their graduating class; or c) have an over
all grade point average of B or better on a
scale of 4.0.
The third option would offer a combin
ation of the first two options.
The senate also defeated two amend
ments offered by Sen. Robert Narveson
which would have designated options one
and three as alternative choices if the
Board of Regents votes to change the cur
rent admissions policy.
The senate also approved an amended
version of a resolution by Sen. David Nich
olas which opposes any proposal "to base
salary increases solely on exceptional 'mer
it' or performance and the corollary that
faculty members who perform their dut
ies satisfactorily will receive no salary in
crease." In other business the senate passed a re
solution which will be sent to Vice Presi
dent for Administration Alan Seagran pro
proposing that the University Wide Emp
loyee Benefits Committee be restructured
so that the membership is based on the
number of employees in each system.

Quentin II. Gcssncr, dean of Continuing
Studies at UNL has been installed as presi
dent of the National University Continuing

ner assumed leadership of the organization
at the close of the 67th annual NUCEA
conference in Cincinnati, Ohio.
He succeeds Joseph Goddard, dean of
the Division of Continuing Education at
the Universtiy of Tennessee, Knoxville.
NUCEA is an organization of about 275
accredited colleges and universities wluch
form r. network of institutions responding
to the continuing learning needs of the citi

purposes requiring continuing education.

Puerto Rico and Canada, represent major

resents the majority in higher education,
and that part-time learning is now the pre
vailing mode in higher education today. Of
the 12 million students in higher educa
tion, 4 million are 25 years of age or older,
and the percentage of older students is in
