university--every campus and every
college of the university. Our own
budget cut--I'm not sure I should admit
this publicly--has not been unfair or out
of line
CCR: You said the budget has been
cut. I was under the impression we had
to find funds somewhere to pay back
University Park.
Gross: No, no! We are simply not
getting as much as we ordinarily
would. Each unit of the university is
retrenching. It's happening almost
everywhere in American universities
today.
CCR: Is it a case of bad management?
Gross: No. There is just not enough
money to go around--given the fact in
most universities enrollment is declin
ing. I think that we are adjusting to a
difficult problem in a very sensible way
at Penn State. We are adjusting to a
difficult decade ahead: remember that
inflation and recession affect the uni
versity as well as every other sector of
the university. Many universities do
not plan the way this one has. As a
consequence, they are caught short.
Sometimes they go bankrupt or they
close programs. At Penn State these
fiscal crises seem to be handled much
more sensibly and more methodically
because a long-range view is taken.
The university will encourage our
plans so long as we can secure our
funds from the private sector. Basically
we have to secure the funds for the
sorts of projects I've mentioned.
CCR: Another subject. Recruitment by
faculty.
Gross: They know they will have to
help. If the students aren't in the
programs, then faculty positions are in
Interview
Gross: I would be in favor of a core
curriculum of some sort--even at an
upper-division campus like this. There
is a need for business and engineering
students to understand the humanities
and for students in the humanities to
learn something of the basic sciences,
business and engineering.
The student who takes courses only
in his discipline is being self-destruc
tive. He is confining himself to limited
professional growth and viewing a
potential profession as only a vocatiog.
- He won't advance as far as he would
like.
CCR: I understand an alumni associa
tion is being developed. I thought we
already had one.
Gross: There was an organization, but
it wasn't very active. We have worked
hard on making it as active as possible
by publishing three newsletters. We
had a dinner on May 13, together with
other Penn State alumni groups. Wil
liamForrey, is president of the organi
zation. We are hopeful that the alumni
association can be another source of
jeopardy. It's really a matter of surviv
al. Another reason for recruitment is to
have a better-balanced student body.
CCR: What are your views on the
proposed core courses under consider
ation?
funding and help us in beautifying the
campus.
CCR: How will you get reluctant
faculty to take part in recruitment?
Gross: We are asking faculty to take an
active role in recruitment. Talking with
students at commonwealth campuses
and community colleges would help a
good deal.,
