The University of Kansas should return to a more classical form of education for undergraduates, Deanell Tacha, vice chancellor for academic affairs, said at the first University Forum speech yesterday.
Tacha take a group of about 50 people, mostly faculty members, that the University needed "to restructure its curricula to provide a more equitable environment at the undergraduate level" instead of promoting professional training.
"I think students should have a reason to claim a degree from KU," she said.
Tacha, who was appointed vice chancellor this year, said she had found that students with high grade point averages in their first semester at KU would be more likely to complete their degree.
"We should be trying to encourage the best and brightest of the students in
that first semester they are up here," she said.
TACHA ALSO IS chairman of the Commission for the Improvement of Academic Education, which will enhance the quality of education at KU Nov. 1.
"I want something to happen with the commission report," she said. "I want to recommend some solutions to some problems." Her faculty has brought to my attention."
The faculty mentioned problems with eating, cheating and the intellectual climate.
"I am convinced that no administration alone can translate these concerns into a workable academic environment. The faculty must be directly involved."
However, Tacha said the administration believed restructuring the undergraduate programs would encourage a better intellectual climate at KU.
"We also need a better advising program and don't mean only one or two days."
throughout the entire semester," she said.
ANOTHER WAY to increase the intellectual climate at KU, Tacha said, would be to have more academic content during orientation period.
"If all there is is country club week,
there does not put in the notion of an
academic," he says.
Students need some mandatory introduction to the library and how it works.
ONE PROGRAM that KU does have, however, is the Faculty Associates Program, which encourages interaction between students in a scholarship hall and the teacher who helps them, Tchaa said.
"A faculty member will attach himself to a living group and eat there, participate in activities with them, hold seminars and sometimes take students out to meetings or discussions," Tacha said.
KU also needs to inform the public and prospective students about the academic strengths of the school, she said.
