Do corporations have the right to control curriculum?
By Chris Alessi
According to a Boston in-
vestment firm, some colleges
and universities across the na-
tion I may be weighting their
course offerings toward math
and science in order to attract
larger corporate contributions.
"For many universities and
colleges, 'selling their pro-
grams to corporations and
other philanthropic agencies
and individuals is key to
economic viability,"\says the

study. | 0
Many schools are becoming
progressively? dependent on
support from the private-sec-
tor because aid given to col-
leges from federal and state
governments is decreasing.
"For the past two tojftnree
years, there has been several
articles written discussing the
need to tie academic institu-
tions into ^corporate institu-
tions/' according to Academic
Dean Dr. David Palmer.
I "This is due to the value of
directly producing people who
will go into jobs in those in-
stitutions," adds Palmer.
There may be a problem with
this though, "if an institution
gets too closely tied in, then
subtley and then more directly
later on, you may find yourself
WuTfcypQhslve tonhe direct
demands of the'corporations/*
Problems such as this, do
not arise untilfthese corpora-
tions begin to say what
courses and institution should
have. "While this may be
allowable to some extent, the
fear and underlying question
is 'how far do we go?' It may
get to a point where the cor-
porations I are ^giving *.the
universities! an ultimatum:
either you teach this sequence
of courses, or we, the corpora-
tion, won't give you the
money," said Palmer.
3 "It is when an academic in-
stitution becomes closely tied
with an outside source, that
one must be very weary about
being dictated to," he added.
K The integrity of any universi-
ty must always be maintained.
If the demands by any outside
source become too great, and
the university begins to fall to
these demands, it is here.that
authority shifts Into the wrong
hands."
Palmer feels ithat Mer-
cyhurst College has not had to
deal with this situation. "We
don't have strong enough ties
with corporations so that we
have ever felt that force of dic-
tating the curriculum."
The problem seems to be
more evident at larger institu-
tions. These institutions may
prove to have a distinct tie in
with another corporation.
"At these* institutions,
money for research is directly
ear-marked for particular
departments that have a direct
interest with research being
performed at a ^corporation."

The Boston report claimed ,
that there is evidence that the

Palmer says that this maybe

Returning to campus on Monday after Easter vacation

discuss their long weekend with roommates and friends,
while it may have prompted others to engage in the

Socializing was not a difficult task, especially if one
lives in the dorms. However, finding a place to study Mon-

The library was open to students on Monday, but-shut
its doors at 4p.m. Generally, most students do not arrive
on campus until after*3p.m. whenhhe^dorms officially

{When we sat down and
began to ponder how we
should write the Op-Ed article
for I The Merciad , we were
faced with three options.
First of all, we could brag
about how many long hours,
arduous tasks and difficult
decisions we had to deal with
for this project. After explain-
ing these numerous complica-
tions we could finish the story
by. bragging about how much
of a success the concert, will
be. While ail of this may be
true, it contains both an air of
arrogance as. well as an
essence of uncertainty at the
present moment.
Secondly, we could use this
article to call to arms for the
students ofi Mercyhurst to
heed in order to help us with
their concert. Yes, that's right,
it is your concert and as such
is just as important to you that
it becomes a success. $ ^

whenj John Cafferty and the

could be a step closer to being
required to devote ?two years
of their lives to military or
civilian national service.
The sporadic debate over a
national youth service flared
anew with Sen. Gary Hart's re-
cent proposal to establish a
system requiring all youths to
perform some kind of service
for the nation.
Hart's proposal would give
$3 million to a commission to
design a workable youth ser-
vice system.
Although advocates
disagree about the best kind
of program, and although Con-
gress rejected a similar plan
last year, most national youth
service proponents welcomed
Hart's initiative. | S*
"There is* a great deal of
debate that needs to occur
before any consensus is
reached, and Sen. Hart has
stirred up some discussion,"
