THERE are obviously many more complications to these questions that the committee chaired by Karl Strauch, professor of Physics, must deal with before making any recommendations to Presidents Bok and Horner. But the Strauch Committee is still expected to submit its final report in February and it is conceivable that, if approved, the changes they outline could begin to be instituted...
Like most specially appointed University committees, the Strauch Committee is formulating its recommendations in private and will only offer them to the community after giving the final report to Bok and Horner. While the committee has solicited outside information from other universities and asked interested groups and individuals to present testimony, the weekly meetings are generally closed to outsiders. The minutes are strictly for the use of committee members and will not be released even after the committee has finished its task. Strauch has emphasized to reporters and members of his committee that he should be the only spokesman...
