Business admissions tougher
By MARK TILFORD
Staff writer
Beating tomorrow's application deadline isn't the only requirement prospective School of Business students will have to meet.
Last spring, the school started a competitive admissions policy. A lack of teaching resources caused by an exodus of business school faculty was the main reason for the beginning of the policy, Dave Shulenburger associate dean for academic burgess, the business school, said yesterday.
"That's the main thing that's driving this, just a lack of resources," Shulenbauer said.
The base requirements for admission have not changed, but the competitive policy will take into consideration a student's grade point average, ACT scores and, if necessary, the difficulty level of a student's elective courses, Shulenburger said.
Students may enter the business school as juniors.
In 1882, the school had 64 faculty. Now it has 49. Shulenberger said.
At the same time, business student enrollment increased from 807 in 1983 to 1,150 in 1985, but then decreased to 624 in 1990. This was because of competitive admissions.
Shulenburger said an increasing number of graduate teaching assistants and lecturers were being used instead of tenured faculty.
"I'm very pleased with the performance of our lecturers and TA's, but it's just not the same." Shulenburger said. "I think ultimately what happens is that commitment increases when you have a faculty member who knows he will be here 10 years instead of just a semester."
Shulenburger said salaries for business professors at KU were significantly below those at KU's peer schools. Peer schools are schools similar to KU in their size and mission.
"Many of the people we lost last year went to universities were they could make over $10,000 more," Sulenburger said.
Kent Smith, a junior and president of Delta Sigma Pi, the professional business fraternity, said that he supported the competitive policy, but that he also supported higher tuition for KU.
"I think competitive admissions is a good policy because the school is beginning to get flooded with people trying to get in," Smith said. "Personally I would rather pay more tuition and get more professors."
Smith said teaching assistants were probably being asked to do too much by pursuing graduate degrees in engineering or hundreds of undergraduate students.
Don't do without the things you really want. Simply because of today's high prices, we can't afford all of them. Your items available in stores are listed at lower prices than those on sale or bargain down an already low price, since many items in classified are sold by private parties. Don't do without - it with children.
If you can't buy it . . . bargain.
