Academic forum panelists say UNL
needs flexible faculty, more money
By Matt Olberding_
Staff Reporter
Faculty members at UNL need
to be more flexible to adapt to
changes on campus, a panelist said
at the 1994 Academic Senate Fo
rum on Thursday.
Randolph
Fcrlic, chairman
of the Nebraska
Coordinating
Commission for
..Postsecondary
bcilATC Education, coin
beriA I E pared the faculty
at the University
of Ncbraska-Lincoln to elephants
—slow, stubborn and becoming an
endangered species.
The two-hour forum, which also
featured state Sens. LaVon Crosby
of Lincoln, David Bemard-Stevcns
of North Platte and University of
Nebraska Regent Nancy O’Brien of
Waterloo, focused on UNL’s fu
ture. The event was held at the
National Bank of Commerce, 1248
O St., and was cosponsored by the
UNL Academic Senate and the bank.
Fcrlic said problems such as dc
mographic and technological
changes, a loss of professionalism
and a crisis in leadership faced
UNL and other universities. If not
addressed, those problems could
compound in the future, he said.
But Fcrlic said UNL was lucky,
because it had a strong faculty and
the excellent leadership of Chan
cellor Graham Spanicr and NU
President Dennis Smith.
Crosby agreed with Ferlic that
change was necessary. However,
she said, change comes slowly.
“As human beings we cling to
the old way of doing things, said
Crosby, chairwoman of the Legis
lature’s Committee on Commit
tees and a member of the Appropri
ations Committee.
UNL is the role model for other
NU campuses, she said, and it
should set the precedents in higher
education that those campuses
should follow.
O’Brien said UN L’s mission was
to be the primary cultural and intel
lectual resource and center of re
search for the state. That role prob
ably will never change, she said,
but the way the mission is fulfilled
will have to change.
Bcrnard-Stevcns, vice chairman
of the Legislature’s Appropriations
Committee, said his biggest con
cern for the university’s future was
money.
He said the slate’s budget was
$97 million short for the next bien
nium, and he was afraid many cuts
would be made in the area of cdu

cation.
The state has been spending less
for education in the last few years,
and Bcrnard-Stcvcns said he was
worried that education was becom
ing less important. Many city bond
issues to raise money for education
have failed recently statewide.
“Education does not seem to be
the top priority anymore,” he said.
