"I feel I have been efTcctivo in cfUce. But I think the
time has come for a charts in leadership."
Quoting from his letter of resignation, sent to
Reagan, he said that "my usefulness to you in this"
administration has corns to an end. : . '- ;
Pressure for Watt's resignation has been buiidinj-
especially, among Democrats but also among
Republican senators recently since the latest in

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.
