mission, said the disagreement be
tween the commission and university
officials should not be taken person
ally.
“People should not misinterpret
differences of opinion to reflect rela
tionships,” he said. “We are all pro
fessionals.
“We simply have to agree to dis
agree,” he said. “Half of working with
people is understanding.” \
The mission of the coordinating
commission is more than just to coor
dinate higher education, Stahl said. It
is to regulate it as well.
“Although we are coordinating,
we are a regulating body,” he said.
“That’s hard for most people to un
derstand.”
Massengale disagreed, saying that
the group was set up strictly as a
coordinator.
“As long as they stay in coordinat
ing position, (there’s) no problem,”
he said. “My own personal feeling
was they were getting into govern
ing.”
Because the commission is a new
organization, Stahl said, the regents
as well as other education governing
boards felt threatened.
“If I was in their case, I would feel
imposed upon if that autonomy was
totally taken away,” Stahl said. “If I
was in their place, I wouldn’t like it.”

Along with the wish-list letters,
Doyle said UPC event directors would
go to the different student organiza
tions and tell the groups about the
eventsandactivities UPC has planned.
“This will bea major time commit
ment from everyone,” Doyle said.
“It will be impossible for the event
directors to meet with all the groups.
That’s why student volunteers are so
important,” he said. “Student volun
teers are the key to this policy being
successful.”

The powerof ihecommission, Stahl
said, hasn’taffccted how members do
their jobs.
“It’s important to remember never
to be a jerk; you’ve got to use good
judgement,” he said. “This is not a
power play on anyone’s part—that’s
very inappropriate.”
Regardless of the two governing
boards’ motivations, having two lists
looming over the the university ulti
mately will cause confusion, Sen.
Scott Moore of Seward said.
y& simply have to
t agree to disagree.
—Stahl
i
Executive director of the
commission
-tt -
Moore, chairman of the
Legislature’s Appropriations Com
mittee, said legislators would look at
both lists when determining univer
sity appropriations.
However, he said, “it would be
simpler if we were singing out of the
same hymn book.”
The commission and regents used
different methods when comprising
their peer lists. The regents hired three
former university presidents with no
ties to UNL to determine their list.
They selected universities with simi
lar budgets, programs and salaries.
Faculty salaries weren’t a consid
eration on the commission’s list.
“We’ve refused to let faculty sala
ries get involved; it’s irrelevant to
what we’re doing,” Stahl said. “We
did not structure the concept of sala
ries into what we did.”
Budget review, tuition fees study
and program review were the main
objectives for the commission's list,
narrowed down from ISO institutions
selected by the National Center for
Higher Education Management Sys
tems of Boulder, Colo.
Massengale said the regents selec
tion group had a background in higher
education, and the commission's pro
cess primarily used numbers. He also
was concerned with the exclusion of
faculty salaries.
“If you are making budget (com
parisons), faculties are a major part,”
Massengale said. “You can’t leave it
out.”
Commission officials said they
weren’t concerned with the universi
ties’ specific structures.
“We examined the institution. We
did not worry about labels,” Stahl
said. “We virtually were blind to
names.
“We weren’t thinking what they
were called. If they’re similar, they’re
similar.”
Stahl said some people’s fears that
the commission’s list would hamper
UNL’s future growth were unfounded.
“(People are saying) this list is like
building a fence around UNL, they
aren’tgoing to grow,” he said. “That’s
completely inaccurate.”
