Admissions

such as calculus.
• Have ACT composite scores of
20 or be in the top half of their gradu
ating classes.
• Or be granted admission by re
view, cither unconditionally or with
course-deficiency requirements or con
ditional admission.
Most students score 20 on the ACT
or graduate in the top half of their
classes, Hilliard said, but for those
who do not meet these requirements,
alternate routes are available.
For example, he said, a student
would have the option of completing
12 hours with a grade point average
of C or above at a junior college.
Then he or she could attend UNL.
Hilliard said the requirements for
courses such as foreign language and
mathematics might not be changed as
dramatically as some people might
think.
“In the future, many of the areas
will be the same as now,” he said.
“Students will still be admitted but
will have to make up any deficiencies
they may have.”
The decision to recommend rais
ing standards was made after consid
ering several drawbacks and benefits
of the action, Hilliard said.
The report lists several reasons
why UNL might consider keeping its
status as an essentially open-admis
sions university.
For example, the report says, UNL
is the only institution in Nebraska
offering certain curricula.
Also, cultural diversity at the uni
versity might suffer if special efforts
are not made to attract and retain
more minority students.
However, the report lists several
reasons for changing admissions stan
dards.
Hilliard said the committee de
cided the benefits outweighed the
possible drawbacks.
For example, the report says, stu
dents who score low on the ACT or
who graduate al the bottom half of
their classes have a high attrition rate,
and UNL has limited resources to
help those students succeed.
Lower-scoring students may have
their motivation thwarted in the highly
competitive atmosphere al UNL,
according to the report. They actually
may find it easier to fit into the envi
ronment of a smaller regional school.
The report also says that less-able
students may drag the rest of the class
down or have a negative influence on
the learning environment.
In addition, an open-admissions
policy generally is a negative factor
in building positive perceptions of an
institution’s quality.
In other words, the report stales,
students may look at UNL and think,
“Anybody can get in there.”

haluchi there could be moved outside

After the replica arrived in Gering,
it was placed inside the museum’s
new 2,000-square-foot addition. The
museum planned ahead by leaving
off one wall of the addition to accom
modate the replica.
The replica was moved in, and
then the east wall of the building was
completed, he said.
Steen said he was especially ex
cited by the possibilities the replica
presented for school children.
“Thousands of school children from
the area will get to sec it, and it will
add so much to the educational expe
rience of these children,” he said.
