KU Office Seeks Better Juco Relations
By CONNIE PARISH
Kansan Staff Writer
In order to work more effectively with junior college transfers, a new office has been created at the University of Kansas, and a coordinated effort is planned by other offices on campus.
Last September, the Office of Community
College Affairs was created. Ron McGraw,
chief executive officer of McGraw-Hill
"the number one goal of our office is to better communication between the junior college staff and students."
In a speech at Allen County Community College in the spring of 1970, Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr. announced that he was setting up a cooperate with junior students, McGregor said.
Since there were few guidelines to follow, McGregor has been working to set up his own system since the office was created. He said he had started working to acquaint KU acroby and staff with the goals and philosophy of the company, but said it would like years to achieve the goal.
McGregor said a state legislative bill passed in 1965 removed the community junior college from control of local school boards. Since then, a number of new community colleges have been established and have become increasingly important in Kansas higher education.
Few KU professors are acquainted with community college goals and programs, McGregor said, and many junior students are unaware that their staffs have had little time for communication with KU.
As Director of the Office of Community Junior College Affairs, McGregor has encouraged faculty visits to junior colleges to make it easier to determine how the university can relate to them. When possible he has visited with administration and faculty of these schools.
"The principal thing is to develop and maintain better communication between junior colleges and the University of North Carolina so we can solve them in a mutual way." McGregor said.
Junior college transfers face problems about which it is difficult to generalize, he said. However, he said that one cause of problems might be that students are性格 are emotionally oriented and KU isn't.
Some vocational courses offered at junior colleges do not count toward a degree at KU,
But, overall, he said, the problems a junior college transfer faces are no different from those of a student already at the University who transfers to another school within the university.
McGregor is also chairman of the Faculty Senate Committee on Cooperation with Junior Colleges. This committee has been on the books
for years, but has been relatively inactive until recently, according to McGregor. He said that the committee's goals were basically the same: to make the college more relational; to bring about cooperative effort.
Gilbert Dirk, who was appointed admissions director in June, said his office was working with McGregor and the Office of School Relations in the junior college minor college transfers in the heat way possible.
He said that two evaluators from the admissions office visit junior colleges and other institutions to talk with advisers, counselors, and prospective students.
"If doing so they hope to prevent problems for transfers or at least make sure as few as possible
Dyck said that the admissions office sends out letters of welcome and orientation books to all students. Dyck added that the admissions office
Now junior college transfers go through the same orientation program as all freshmen. They are given no special treatment. McGregor said he planned to develop a special orientation program for junior college transfers within the next few years.
Dyck has compiled statistics on the distribution of newly enrolled students from 1964 to 1971. He noted that in the fall of 1971, 162 students transferred to other institutions. Of these, 383 had transferred
from Kansas junior colleges.
Djock's study also showed that the number of transfers to KU from Karaus just before had grown by about 20%.
KU had transfers from all 19 community junior colleges in Kanaas last fall, and from four private junior colleges, according to Dyck's statistics.
In 1944, the largest number, 40, transferred from Hutchinson Community Junior College, and 39 came from Kansas City Kansas Community Junior College.
Last year, 112 students transferred from Johnson County Community Junior College, more than from any other Kansas junior college. Sixty-five transferred from Kansas City Kansas Community Junior College and 51 came from Hutchinson Community Junior College.
The number of transfers from Kansas junior colleges grew steadily from 1964 to 1967, when the number reached 232. In 1968 the number increased to 206, in 1969 and 1970 leveled out to 220
The jump from 220 in 1970 to 383 in 1971 resulted from the opening of Johnson County Community Junior College. Dyck said this was the first time he graduated from the first class graduated in the spring of 1971.
Dyck said that his office planned to compile more statistics on junior college transfers in the future.
