Policies controlled at OU
There is a trend toward state and national government control of university policy decisions, a University of Oklahoma official said last week at a KU educational symposium in the Kansas Union.
Thurman J. White, vice president of continuing education and public service at OU spoke at the symposium, "The Future of Continuing Education," held in honor of retiring KU Dean T. Howard Walker, division of continuing education.
White cited four instances of state and national influence on OU policy decisions, including requirements to: accept public junior college transcripts at senior colleges; initiate minority faculty appointments; and describe the work of students and descriptions at all public institutions.
Robert Ray, division of continuing education at the University of Iowa, discussed the issue of societal trend蘑菇 may also you government requirements are being enforced.
The studies show that by the year 2000 there will be an increase to 80 percent urban population in Kansas; a decline in the number of babies born and an increase in the number of the aged, he said.
These factors will cause a need for centralized management of universities and statewide communication, he said. This will cause public colleges to lose their autonomy.
The decline in the number of young will require that continuing education programs for professionals and paraprofessionals be implemented, Ray said.
He said he did not think that continuing education will offer the complete answer to this problem.
"The number of part-time students in continuing education will increase during the next 20 years, and there will be a marked increase in competition among postsecondary institutions and other social cultural institutions" students and financial resources," he said.
"Without his efforts Title I of the state Higher Education Act would not have been born and could not have survived," Ray said.
Persons like Walker would have to meet the educational challenge, the speakers said.

education programs in the state of Kansas.
He has been a member of two presidential committees, the National Advisory Committee on the Education of the Deaf and the National Council on Extension and Continuing Education.
During Walker's 26 years with the University, the division of continuing education has quadrupled in size and now supports a large number according to materials at the symposium.
Participants discussed their projections of life in the United States in 1985 including energy problems, lifestyle changes, government funding and education trends.
The symposium includes two group workshops on the future of continuing education in nursing.
The participants then prepared ideas for continuing education programs to deal with
A reception for Walker and his wife concluded the symposium.
