The Ed School faculty yesterday began formal debate on a proposal for massive regrouping and reorientation of the school's resources.
The proposal, which the faculty's Committee on Academic Policy released last week after a 15-month study, attempts to consolidate the school's two dozen doctoral and master's programs within a framework of newly emerging priorities and declining federal support.
Sobel said yesterday, "SDS accepts the terms of the debate and welcomes the chance to smash the CFIA. The really important thing about the debate is the questions from the floor. What we're hoping for is real participation from the audience."
Theodore R. Sizer, dean of the Ed School and chairman of the committee, acknowledged that the proposal had not been able to go into finances "in a detailed way."
Such conservative planning, at its most extreme, would force several professors, most of them non-tenured, to be dropped from the school. The present 8-1 student-faculty ratio would grow as high as 14-1.
