Governmental review may force federally funded writing, math centers to be limited in use By Rocco Pallotto The use of the federally-funded writing and math centers may soon be limited to Special Service students as a result of a review by the government last summer. "Special service" students are those who are economically and/or educationally disabled. Of the approximate 2600 student enrollment, only about 154 or six percent considered special service. "We had our program reviewed by the U.S. Department of Education," said Writing Center Director Carolyn Perry. "We found out that our giving help to any student who asked for it was in violation of the federal grant." The government has now given the special service program until February 15 to let it Icnow how they are going to correct the situation. Lock Haven University President, Dr. Craig Willis said that the government is just interested in seeing that the centers serve the group they are intended to serve. Perry said that there has never been any conflict in serving all students who asked for help. "We had been helping the students we were supposed to help and many others," she said. "The special service students are not only ones who need writing help." Last year total of 1619 students used the two centers, now in their fifth year, and of these, only 147, or nine percent, were special service. The math center tested and evaluated 800 students last year for placement into math courses, 46 of those being special service. The center may no longer be able to aid the math department in student placement in the capacity it once served. Bruce Skolnick, director of Special Services, said that the government is not taking any action against the program, only asking for the situation to be corrected. He said the evaluator did praise the program when he visited, however. Both Willis and Skolnick declined comment on whether the university would come up with its own program, saying they are still looking at the situation. Skolnick did say, however, that anything he could do would keep as many students involved in the program as possible, however, but they have to remain in compliance with the grant. He also said that he may have more answers in a week or so, since the news was just announced this past Thursday. So, according to Skolnick, it's "business as usual at least until the 15th of February. There is potential for change, but two weeks is a lot of time." 5 These two students find Ihe sledding to be fun as they make their way down the snow covered hill behind Smith Hall. B D £A4ilI JCUTLC • Ta«s4ay. February S. 198S Bureaucrats hinder center The bureaucracy involved in the higher education system never ceases to amaze me. The Federal government has begun to enforce the special service requirements that students must meet before they are eligible to receive help from the tutorial services on campus. (This includes the Writing Center and the Math Service.) The requirements are so specialized that only about 150 of the 2600 students at LHU will be able to use the services.
