Retention problem a recruitment issue By JOSEPH DITZLER Collegian Staff Writer The University needs clearly de fined goals for retaining and re cruiting minority students, the executive assistant to the president for administrative affairs said Wednesday. William Asbury told a small gath ering at the Paul Robeson Cultural Center that the University is mak ing significant progress toward the recruitment of undergraduate and graduate minority students, but fundamental changes need to be made in the way the University views minority retention. One of the basic problems facing all the University's desegregation programs is money, Asbury said. The University is not inclined to be successful if it just talks about how much money it has to spend, he said. He said the University needs to attract minority students to pro grams other than traditional ones minorities enroll in, such as human development. "We really have to make what seems to be some fundamental changes in our approach to reten tion; what we know about retention; what we know about market pen etration to attract students in all the f p s 1;:i..601, i -•,- t, , I '' ' ( 4 ;' - i:; , .''''

The University could realize some goals this fall by increasing the number of black students -to the minimum goal set for the 1984-85 fiscal year, he said. Asbury said another goal is in creasing the number of black fac ulty and staff members and the number of black graduate students next year. He also said that developing coop erative programs with Lincoln Uni versity and Cheyney University of Pennsylvania must go much far ther. He said the University will be developing individual programs and arranging exchanges of faculty and staff during the next fiscal year. He said he assumed visiting Uni versity faculty may draw students away from CheYney faculty who must meet course enrollment levels in order to get paid. Graduate programs so far, met with a varying degree of success, he said.
