ssues Surfaced Which Will Affect Students Aside from problems resulting from the overcrowding of classes due to increased enrollment, professors and department heads cracked down on the grade inflation, and the legislature threatened a tuition hike of one-hundred percent. There were always clouds, it seemed, over some portion of the aca- demic environment. Many students were oblivious to the issues, content in attending classes, Scholz ' s, and going home on the week- ends. 1981 saw many issues surface which would have a profound effect on the way in which students would be educated at the University in the future: Kathleen Kelleher, an assistant instructor in the Department of Govern- ment, was released from her teaching duties because of the nature of her course was considered too controversial by some of her students. Resolution of her case is still pending. Al ' s classes were combined into classes of 300, and taught by a full-time professor after this. Again in the Department of Gov- ernment, indeed, all throughout the Col- lege of Liberal Arts, a furor arose over the hiring and tenure policies in that department. The new Chairman, Charles Cnudde, along with Dean Robert King of the College of Liberal Arts, came under strong attack. The University Council considered extensive alterations in the degree requirements, which included an addi- tional English requirement, and the reinstitution of foreign language require- ments campus-wide. This proposal was opposed by many professional degree programs, the fear being expressed that this would lengthen many courses of study to five years. Campus-wide and state-wide, Teaching Assistants and Assistant Instructors organized to obtain higher salaries, better hours, and more freedom in outlining the topics to be covered in the courses they taught. Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free, said the Tower. 12
