KU students could someday earn degrees in peace-making, if E. Jackson Baur, professor of sociology, has his way.
KU reviews degree in peace
Such a major must pass a maze of approval and review before it is included in next year's Undergraduate Catalog.
The proposed major, called Conflict Regulation and Management, will train students who want to be businessmen, teachers or school administrators. Baur said.
"It's a good background for anyone with conflicts and grievances," he said.
STUDENTS WHO choose the conflict management major would take classes in areas including political science, business, African studies, business and sociology.
Baur said the courses would prepare students to handle strikes, labor conflicts, competing departments in firms and environmental disputes.
Conflict management could be a second major or an undergraduate major for students who plan graduate education or social welfare he said.
However, conflict regulation majors
would have to accept law school
courses have trouble finding them.
He added that recent graduates of most schools had similar job problems.
"It would be risky," Bauer said,
"and you can't keep contacts—go out
on doors on doors."
"Of course it's risky," he said. "But this team was designed for people with training in this area."
THE PROPOSAL will be sent to the Council of Chief Academic Officers, a group representing Kansas state schools, if it is approved.
MOST SCHOOLS have affirmative action offices, and many corporations are hiring ombudsmen, or neutral who listen to consumer complaints.
Baur said that the number of jobs for which conflict regulation majors would be needed is too low.
Finally, the conflict regulation major will be submitted for the Regents approval.
Human relations commissions are springing up in large and mid-sized cities, he said, and the need for them is growing more and more worker joined unions.
"It's a very devious course with lots of hazness." Saurait says. "The proposal causes a defense defeat."
If that committee approves the proposed major, it will be submitted to the College Assembly at its Dec. 2 meeting.
Before approving the major, the Regents will decide whether it duplicates majors at other state schools, and whether it will increase restraint, Bernard Franklin, chairman of the Regents, said yesterday.
This year, a nine-member U.S. House committee is studying a proposal to fund a National Peace Academy that offers top-level administrators and diplomats.
The conflict regulation major process may not be approved until fall 1981. Bauer said.
Baur said conflict regulation programs could help fill the country's growing need for arbitrators, administrators and go-betweens.
If the Assembly, the University's governing body, approves the new major Christoffersen, vice president of academic affairs, will decide its fate.
At the University of Kansas, a College of Liberal Arts and Sciences committee is considering the conflict between an advisory board outlined last year.
In the meantime, he said, interested students can take conflict regulation as a special major.
The idea of studying conflict regulation is not new. In 1943, he said, a bill to create a national Department of War was introduced and defeated in Congress.
In their sophomore years, interested students should recruit three faculty advisers and ask for the college dean's permission to create a major, according to the 1981 Undergraduate Catalog.
However, the catalog says that the
do not overlap with existing maps.
The procedure for setting up special majors is in the catalog, which is available in the office of admissions and records, 122 Strong. In addition, he would ask him for information about the conflict regulation program.
