"The report is reflective of the very difficult task
of achieving concensus and what education is all
about," Holderman said at the meeting.
The commission was set up last year by Holderman
to study the undergraduate mission at USC. It
spent one year studying the university's
undergraduate education and faces "very sticky
problems" that it "have yet to resolve," Holder^
man said.
The commission, headed by Harry Lightsey, dean
of USC's Law School and acting president of the
College of Charleston, recommended that USC proI/|HA

nowevcr, tne commission said access to education
should not be provided at the expense of
quality.
One of its recommendation was that general
education requirements should be common to all
undergraduate programs, including English,
mathematics, natural sciences, and humanities and
social sciences.
All programs should include a six credit-hour
minimum in English 101 and 102 or above. Three
credits of mathematics and three additional credits
of computer science, mathematics, logic or statistics
should also be included in bachelor's programs.
Humanities and social sciences should include six
credit hours, including three of history and six of
natural sciences, with a mandatory lab requirement.
The commission suggested colleges set admission

USC's four-year campuses should be kept up to
date in bachelor's degree programs. The Columbia
campus should offer a range of undergraduate
degree programs that would meet needs in both
academic and technical areas.
USC's nine-campus system should be strengthened
and communication among campus faculties encouraged.
Funds for systemwide meetings should
also be allocated.
The report said campuses should communicate on
course requirements, curricula changes, prerequisites
and course renumbering. Off-campus
course requests at system campuses should be
reviewed by the appropriate campus faculty.

icademics
years of undergraduate school should be reaffirmed
and additional measures taken to ensure faculty
recognition and rewards.
The report also said faculty development and support
should be furthered through sabbaticals,
release time and research and scholarship opportunities.
Faculty exchange programs were also
encouraged.
The commission recommended system campuses
offer higher education access to students who have
not met tour-year campus standards. Also, they encouraged
studies of academic and co-curricular factors
influencing undergraduates.
Upgrading campus libraries and specialized
teaching facilities were encouraged as well as funding
from the state Commission on Higher Education
for computer technology.
The commission's final recommendation was that
decisions regarding campus evolution should involve
an assessment of the impact upon the community,
students and system as a whole.
