Further subjections about the reallocation are encouraged, Strong said. The Academic Planning Committee wiU conduct public hearing Nov. 5 through 11 en the reallocation, he said. "This is an opportunity for anyone who is poten tially cfTected to speak," ha said.

The UTL Administration must submit lists of pro grams and activities recommended for reduction or termination to the regents by Dec. 10. The regents . will conduct public hearings on the recommenda tions in January and February before making their final decisions in March. . Maurice Baker, president of the Faculty Senate and professor of agricultural economics, said he believes the faculty has had adequate opportunities to express their views on the budget reallocation. , Although there is a good chance that some UNL personnel may lose their jobs because cf the 2 per-' cent reallocation, there b no count on the number cf jobs that will be elected, Baker said. , Strong said, "We certainly do entertain the possi bility cf job loss." However, he said that any reduc tion in personnel would not come for at least three years after the final decisions on program elimina-: tion are made. Under the NU bylaws, tenured faculty who are dismissed because of program reduction or elimination must first be given a min imum cf 12 months notice, Strong said. He said that elTorts would be mads to transfer cfTected faculty to other UNL programs. Students currently enrolled in a program sche duled for elimination or reduction would be allowed to finish their studies in that program, Strong said. "It would be incorrect to assume all of these sav ings would be immediately realized by July cf 1034," he said. "There might have to be some phasing." Under the criteria issued by Massengale, a pro gram could be considered for elimination if it does not contribute to UNL's mission of teaching, research and service; is not accredited or risks the loss contributeof accreditation; is not of sufficient size or quality to deliver good service; is duplicated unnecessarily within UNL; or makes no essential contribution to the present and future need3 of education and society in Nebraska. Programs could also be eliminated due to insuffi cient demand by students and other clientele. , Programs that would not be considered for elimi nation would be those existing as a result of legisla- tive statues; the only programs of their kind withih Nebraska; those having a national or international reputation for exceptional quality, and those clearly classiHable as being within an area identified for eraphasi3 and improvement by the regents Five Year Plan.
