"When we initiated this action (phasing out the undergraduate education program), we expected some reaction from the Legislature," USC Provost Frank Borkowski said. Rep. Sam Foster, D-York, a co-sponsor of the bill, introduced it to the General Assembly Wednesday. The bill states the university "must maintain a teacher education program." USC's board of trustees voted to eliminate the undergraduate education program by a vote of 13-5 at its meeting Dec. 10.

"USC needs to address as many needs as possible,'' Foster said. "I see this move by the board of trustees as one that will have a negative effect on the people of this state." Foster said telling the university what programs to keep would not normally be a legislative matter, but he added the Legislature has to provide for the needs of the state. 4'USC turns out some of the better teachers in the state.

"USC officials know better what should be eliminated. Obviously, they think the undergraduate education program can be eliminated. I think they may need to take another look," he said. "In the final analysis, USC is a state agency" and the Legislature shapes the way the state functions, Foster said. Foster said he thought the chances of his bill passing were very good. Borkowski disagreed. "Once the information is known and clear, the university will be successful. We will make clear the final savings and plans for the teaching Droeram tw Hiii probably will not pass."
