For the first time, New York students who want to keep their state
scholarships will have to meet academic standards, to include come-
pleting a fixed number of courses and achieving a set grade point
average each semester.
The state’s Commissioner of Education has not yet set the speci
fic standards, but some college officials are already expressing fears
that minority and economically disadvantaged students will be se
verely hurt by the new regulations. At the City University of New
York officials say thousands of low-income students could be dis
qualified from receiving state financial aid under academic stan
dards. — Collegiate Headlines
While many ailing athletic departments around the country look to
their universities for financial help, the University of Michigan’s
athletic department is being asked to share its wealth with the state.
The chairman of the state senate’s higher education appropriation
subcommittee says his panel won’t approve funding for several
university building projects until he gets a look at the athletic depart
ment books. Sen. Bill Huffman says he’s bothered by the fact that the
athletic department is making money while both the university and
the state lack needed funds. — Collegiate Headlines
The Golden Girls of the University of Missouri-Colombia are
losing some of their shine.
UMC officials announced recently that the dance spirit troupe that
performs in sequined, and somewhat skimpy, costumes will not
perform at as many school functions this year. In deference to the
members’ studies and in an effort to clean up their image, music and
athletic department officials are reducing their performances at
home basketball games and eliminating appearances at alumni
gatherings and other functions. — Collegiate Headlines
