IV, No. 5 TO THE PRESIDENTS, FACULTIES, ADMINISTRATIVE AND SUPPORT STAFFS, AND STUDENTS OF mE CALIFORNIA STATE COLLEGES: New Approach for the State Colleges In February I ;eported to you the details of my "new approach to higher education .. . for the California State Colleges," as outlined before the Committee on Educational Policy of the Board of Trustees. Since then I have appointed two special task forces and a special commission to pursue the goals of these proposals. The task forces have met on several occasions and are being supplemented by working groups on the campuses. So far, over 40 proposals have been submitted to Task Force I (Innovation in the Educational Process) for review. Task Force II, Improving Efficiency in the Use of Resources, is currently reviewing a subcommittee report. During the week of April 19-23, I traveled East to visit the Carnegie, ESSO, Sloan, and Ford Foundations, and the Department of Health, Education and Welfare - to discuss the possibilities of securing funds to help implement these proposals. Considerable interest was expressed in our new approach, and I am hopeful that we may receive some help from these organizations. Recently, I appointed a Commission on External Degrees - headed by President Thomas H. McGrath of Sonoma State College - to consider ways of permitting higher education requirements to be met outside of typical campus settings. This six-member group, which may be expanded later, is concentrating on ways to improve and expand our extension programs ..:... with a view toward granting external degrees through these programs. The Commission , too, is exploring such possibilities as credit for certain work experience, cooperative plans with industry and governmental agencies and performance testing of students not enrolled in r~gular programs. We have in recent years witnessed marked growth in our extension programs. Currently, there are nearly 70,000 enrolled in State College extension programs; projections indicate this figure will jump to 125,000 by 1975. We can, I believe, better serve our extension students- and open access for many others who seek higher education in a "College Without Walls" - by concentrating on means to offer an external degree. I have asked this Commission to examine new ways to serve new adult populations - by televised instruction, correspondence, taped lectures and classroom instruction on or off campus - through programs of academic soundness and integrity. In addition to Chairman McGrath, Commission members are PresidentS. I. Hayakawa, San Francisco State College; D. Dale Hanner, Vice Chancellor, Business Affairs, and Dr. John L. Houk, Deputy Dean, Academic Planning, both in the Chancellor's Office; Dr. Ralph C. Mills, Associate Vice President, Academic Affairs, Chico State College, and Dr. Nelson Norman, Professor of History, San Diego State College. Dr. Richard Barbera, Coordinator of Continuing Education in the Chancellor's Office, will serve as staff consultant to the Commission. Dr. Mills, who has major responsibility for extension and developing continuing education at Chico State, and Dr. Norman, a member of San Diego State's Advisory Committee on Continuing Education, were nominated for Commission membership by Dr. Levern Graves, Chairman of the Statewide Academic Senate. President McGrath, who had been assigned to Task Force I, is reassigned to the Commission. President John H. Bunzel of San Jose State College has been named in his place. Kellogg West A unique and impressive center for continuing education- Kellogg West- opened in April at Cal Poly, Pomona. The only center of its kind west of the Great Plains, Kellogg West has been designed to serve the State College system and its communities by providing residence and educational facilities for continuing education, short and long conferences, training programs, seminars and other educational events linking the colleges with the public. Planning for the Center began in 1966 and was made possible through a $3 million grant to the State Colleges in 1968 from theW. K. Kellogg Foundation of Battle Creek, Michigan. The Center was endorsed by the Trustees in 1967, with further planning approved in 1969. Kellogg West consists of an educational center and dining and residence facilities. Audio and video connections to instructional services will link Kellogg West to all major academic areas of the Cal Poly campus. When fully implemented the system will permit participants to observe lectures and laboratory demonstrations conducted throughout the college. In addition to being able to provide thousands of Californians with valuable educational experiences during the years ahead, Kellogg West makes the Voorhis campus of Cal Poly available for selected innovative programs - at a time when we are exploring new approaches to higher education. Guidelines for Student Air Travel Our systemwide guidelines governing student travel on chartered aircraft recently had the distinction of being endorsed by a Federal agency. Secretary John A. Volpe, of the U.S. Department of Transportation, recommended in letters to more than 2,400 governors and college and university officials that guidelines similar to those of the State Colleges be adopted. Secretary Volpe said, " ... we feel the California guidelines serve as an excellent model by identifying criteria essential for safety and reliability." Copies of State College policy were included with his letter. This is the first time, to our knowledge, that a Federal agency has endorsed a State-de,'eloped transportation standard for national application. Our current policy , which was a tightening of a previous policy established in 1961, was authorized by the Trustees in 1969 following development by our Legal Office, under the supervision of Mr. Norman L. Epstein, Vice Chancellor and General Counsel. The Secretary's recommendation grew out of the 1970 air tragedies involving Wichita State University and Marshall University football teams. Sincerely, ,/~ -#~ Glenn S. Dumke Chancellor
