Holdermar U.. <LUL5Will 1111 By Weslsy Tucker Staff Wrft?r A string of recommendations and proposals from the Commission on Higher Education and the state Legislature may cost USC millions of dollars and a number of faculty jobs, USC President James B. Holderman told Faculty Senate members Wednesday. Holderman told tfe^ senate that many of fKa rvt*A?\Aoolo K/>{ nrt uiamM ubv pi \zpvoaio WV1115 cviioiuci cu tvuuiu seriously weaken the university's budget and curriculum standards. THE PROPOSED 7 percent budget cut would mean firing about 350 faculty members throughout the nine campus USC system on a "last hired, first fired" policy, Holderman said. More than 17 percent of the 350 faculty members who would lose their jobs are black, Holderman said. And firing these blacks would hamper the university's appeal of a United States Department ot Education order forcing USC and eight other state-supported higher education institutions to desegregate. HOLDERMAN also commented on the commission's proposal to end USC's College Legislator < j_ ? _ t _ f_ _ loaoonsnc By Teresa K.

"The next step would be to take two-year programs away from USC and make a community college system in South Carolina. Then consolidate Carolina in a state college and leave Carolina by itself," Holderman said. "The last step would be to combine the School of Medicine with the Medical University of South Carolina, which they are in the process of doing now." In other business, the senate received an economic impact statement from the College of Business Administration showing that USC does about $415 million of business in the Columbia metropolitan area. Only state government and Fort Jackson have a larger impact, the study showed. "IF WE were industry we would be treated like royalty. Instead, we're thought ?if as a state agency and given less consideration," Holderman told the senate. The senate also passed a faculty grievance procedure amendment requiring that persons involved in grievance processes be contacted well in advance of any hearings so that faculty members can be well prepared for grievance actions. drafting bill ommission iterests before directly to the House floor by ire. introducing a bill. 58 letter to the The bill will include only a Audit Council, provision that the com<1 the council to mission be eliminated, : coordinating Nunnery said, and will not tion programs suggest any alternative andled better boards to guide higher ;r system.
