impossible for faculty members to take courses or to earn degrees at the University should be lowered or removed."
THE TASK FORCE also said the University should improve opportunities for faculty to take part in off-campus professional activities.
The task force said it did not want a special administrative department for faculty and that "responsibility for such tasks will be administered every level of University administration."
KU, Costa Rica renew exchange program
Worth said the task force made its recommendations as broad as possible.
"We didn't want anyone to think that we were the final authority on the subject," he said. "We didn't want to restrict anybody and have any say in the details of the program."

Jim Scaly, executive assistant to the chancellor, said Dykes had read the recommendations and would meet with vice chancellors soon to discuss them.

A 20-year-old exchange of students and faculty at the University of Kansas and the University of Costa Rica was renewed last month.
Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor,
flew to Costa Rica Oct. 18 to sign a renewal of the exchange program and returned to KU Oct. 22.
"We are the only university in the country that is offering international programs last week. "International programs are very important. It is a dimension that makes this universi- dity more competitive."
Shankel said the program with Costa Rica was the oldest and most stable program for study abroad that the University offered, and had generated strong, steak interest.
The agreement, which dates back to 1958, is renewed every three years. In 1976, Rector Claudio Gutiereler, the University of
Costa Rica's counterpart to Chancellor Archie R. Dykes, came to KU on behalf of his institution to sign the agreement.
The agreement says, "The continuity of this relationship, which has existed for more than 20 years, makes this intellectual link the oldest in the American continent."
Anita Herzfeld, head of the Study Abroad office, said that many distinguished professors had participated in the program.
William Albrecht, former dean of KU's graduate school, and Charles Michener, a member of the national academy of science, have taken part in the program.
Shankel said KWU would offer offering a graduate program to personnel of the Costa Rica Institute of Electricity, which is comparable to Southwestern Bell AT or TAT.
This would help Costa Rica's communications industry. A number of faculty
from Costa Rica also have come here to obtain their Ph. D. he said.
Shankel said KU chose Costa Rica for the study program because the country had many advantages.
along the same lines as ours, and Costa Rica also had an advanced educational system," Shankel said.
"I think that when the program was started, Costa Rica was selected because of its history of stability.
"Also, the country was politically oriented
About 15 to 20 students go to Costa Rica each semester, Shankel said. Students from other Universities also participate in KU's program.
About the same number of students came to KU from Costa Rica, he said.
"It was fun, but quite exhausting at the same time," he said. "There was great hospitality. The people of Costa Rica were fantastic."
Shankel said he visited Mount Irazua, a volcano that erupted in the mid-1960s. He also visited the American embassy in San Francisco and with a council on education for Costa Rica.
