Built in 1899 under the guidance of John Morris (who with his sister Lydia created the Arboretum and left it in the University’s care), the Fernery is a designated national landmark that recalls the splendor of its age—so much so that a scale model of it, taken to England for the Chelsea Flower Show in 1987, won the first Royal Horticultural Society Gold Medal ever awarded to a North American exhibitor. The model, now in the Smithsonian’s Victoriana collection, will be in Longwood Gardens’ Christmas display November 24—January 1.

The glass and stone structure has undergone full architectural renovation over the last year through a major gift of Morris Arboretum Advisory Board member Dorrance Hamilton, which “came at an important juncture for us in launch- ing the Morris Arboretum Capital Campaign,” said Director Paul Meyer. Council September 28: ROTC at “Arm’s Length” At Wednesday’s meeting the University Council endorsed the Report of the Commit- tee to Review ROTC Arrangements (Almanac September 27) after passage of a major amend- ment—elimination of Option e, which called for terminating the relationship altogether. The amendment passed 19 to 7 and the endorsement 25-1 with 4 abstentions. This action presents, as Council’s advice to the President and Provost, both the Report’s preference for Option c—which would “maintain the presence” of ROTC at Penn but not as an educational program for credit—and its fallback recommendation, Option d, which would allow for negotiation of cross-town or consortial ar- rangements with other schools if Option c cannot be implemented. (Option c is reprinted on page 3 of this issue, showing the eight criteria to be met in negotiating the proposed relationship.) Action on Bylaws: Continuing discussion that began last spring on revision of the Council Bylaws, Council debated a motion to reserve one of its 15 undergraduate seats for the United Minorities Council; it was defeated, 20-16. A-3Assembly Spokesperson Rochelle Fuller said that the Bylaws should include “and staff” in Council’s scope and purpose, in the passage now specifying attention to “...those matters that affect the common interests of faculty and students.” Past Chair of Senate Gerald Porter said this was an oversight and would be cor- rected as the proposed revisions are prepared for publication and mail ballot shortly. Safety First: President Judith Rodin reiter- ated statements she had made to the Trustees Executive Committee on September 23, that “the safety of students, staff and faculty is the number (continued next page) Deaths of Two College Members Two May 1994 graduates of the College died over the weekend. Mary McGuire, a native of Princeton who had led Penn’s Reach-a-Peer Hotline and was volunteering for Habitat for Humanity in San Antonio, Texas, was killed Friday night when her car was hit by a drunk driver. Andrew Sawyer of Easton, Conn., a men’s swim team member who had come to the campus over the weekend to mourn Ms. McGuire’s death with her Delta Delta Delta sisters, was found unconscious on the bathroom floor of the Tri- Delt house on Locust Walk. He was pronounced dead on arrival at HUP at 8 a.m. on Sunday. Support groups have been established at Tri- Delt’s old and new houses, and at Mr. Sawyer’s fraternity, Delta Kappa Epsilon. Acting VPUL Valarie Swain-Cade McCoullum said Monday that anyone in the University who knew the young people or is close to students who knew them should be aware of such counseling resources and of those at: Chaplain’s Office 898-8546 Christian Association 386-1530 Counseling Center 898-7021 Fraternity/Sorority Affairs 898-5263 HillelFoundation 898-7391 Newman Center 898-7575 Student Health 662-2860 VPUL Central Office 898-6081 Women’s Center 898-8611 From an 1899 photograph, courtesy of the Arboretum Exams and Inauguration Day On Friday, October 21, the Univer- sity will celebrate the inauguration of Judith Rodin as its seventh President. The ceremony will be held from 10:30 a.m. to 12 noon in Irvine Auditorium and will be followed by a celebration in front of College Hall to which the entire University is invited. We would like as many faculty, stu- dents, and staff as possible to be able to participate in the events being held on Friday. To that end, I urge you to try to avoid scheduling examinations on that day. The Senate Executive Committee joins me in making this request and recently adopted the following motion: The Senate Executive Committee looks forward to the inauguration of President Rodin on October 21 and urges the fac- ulty to the fullest extent possible not to schedule examinations on that day. I hope you will be able to comply with this request and that you will join us at one of the several events being held during the President’s inaugural celebration. — Stanley Chodorow, Provost

Renewal of Splendor: The Morris Arboretum’s legendary Fernery—the only remaining free-standing Victorian conservatory in North America constructed specifically for exhibiting tropical ferns—will reopen to the public, fully restored, on October 31. Built in 1899 under the guidance of John Morris (who with his sister Lydia created the Arboretum and left it in the University’s care), the Fernery is a designated national landmark that recalls the splendor of its age—so much so that a scale model of it, taken to England for the Chelsea Flower Show in 1987, won the first Royal Horticultural Society Gold Medal ever awarded to a North American exhibitor. The model, now in the Smithsonian’s Victoriana collection, will be in Longwood Gardens’ Christmas display November 24—January 1. Meanwhile, the full-scale original, replanted with tropical and subtropical ferns in time for its dedication on October 30, looks to the future by helping educate the public about tropical ecosystems where 11,000 of the 12,000 known species of ferns occur. The glass and stone structure has undergone full architectural renovation over the last year through a major gift of Morris Arboretum Advisory Board member Dorrance Hamilton, which “came at an important juncture for us in launch-ing the Morris Arboretum Capital Campaign,” said Director Paul Meyer.

Graduation/Commissioning Activi-ties: Under the new arrangement, commis-sioning activities would not be permitted onUniversityproperty.(TheceremonyiscurrentlyheldatIndependenceHall,butBodekLoungeisreservedasanalternativeincaseofbadweather.)In addition, University recognition of ROTCcadets and midshipmen (either in graduationannouncementsorattheceremonyitself)wouldnotbepermitted. 7. The “arms-length” agreement, as de-scribed above, would be negotiated with a mutual understanding that, in the event of a national policy change that would allow full and open participation of gays and lesbians in the military (which we believe is likely in the near future), the ROTC arrangement would return to its current status. 8. Finally, we recommend this option only with the understanding that, if the agreement as described above cannot be negotiated mutu-ally, the University should begin proceedings to remove ROTC from campus and pursue cross-town arrangements between Penn and a nearby institution (described below). Thisalternative,asdefinedbytheparametersabove,isthemostappealingcourseofactiontotheCommittee.ItpreservesthediversityandopportunitythatROTCbringstocampus,whiledistancingtheUniversityfromadiscriminatorypolicythatconflictswithourownstatementofnon-discrimination.Italsoacknowledgesthevalueofinfusingmilitarytrainingandliberaleducation,andtheimportanceoftheroleofPenngraduatesinthenation’sfuturemilitaryleader-ship.ByestablishingmoredistancebetweentheUniversity and theDefenseDepartment,weareabletobalancecompetingvaluesandcontinuetoleadanationalprotestagainstthediscriminatorypolicy.

Need-Blind Admissions: An Update1993-94 Report of the Council Committee on Admissions and Financial Aid

August 17, 1994

(continued past insert)

Throughout this academic year, theAdmissions and FinancialAidCommitteere-examinedtheUniversity’sneed-blindadmissionspolicy,primarilybecausethecostoffinancialaidhasbeenincreasingmorerapidlythanrevenuesfromtuition.Thisreportreviewsthehistoryofneed-blindadmissionsatPenn,showsprojectionsoftheincreasedcostoffinancialaidandtheirimpactontheschoolbudgets,examinesthepotentialimpactofapartiallyneed-consciouspolicy,andconsidersseveralapproachestohandlingtheincreasedcostsoffinancialaid.History After a thorough study, the1991-92Admissions andFinancialAidCommitteeissuedareport(AlmanacNovember24,1992)thatstronglyrecommended the retention of need-blind admissions. Its summary ofconclusionsandrecommendationsisreproducedhere: 1. Thecurrentneed-blindadmissionspolicyisessentialtorecruitingandmaintainingadiverseandtalentedstudentbody. 2. TheUniversityadministration isurged toexploreothermeansofaddressingprojectedbudgetaryshortfallsbeforetakingwhatappearstobetheirreversiblestepofalteringourpresentneed-blindadmissionspolicy. 3. TheUniversityshouldaimforalong-termgoalofgenerating$150millionofendowmentforundergraduatefinancialaidwithinthenextfiveyears. 4. The Committee onAdmissions and FinancialAid should meetannuallywiththeVicePresidentforDevelopmenttodiscussendowmentgoalsandtheprogressbeingmadetoachievethem. 5. TheUniversityshouldbetterpublicizeitsneed-blindadmissionspolicy,andproducematerialsforpotentialapplicantsinwhichtheeffortsoftheUniversitytocounterbalancefederalstudentaidcutsarealsopublicized. 6. TheUniversityshouldincreaseitseffortstosecureendowmentsspecificallydirectedatincreasingthefinancial-aidresourcesavailableforforeignstudents.InternationalalumniandforeignfirmsoperatingwithintheUnitedStatesshouldbespecificallytargeted.Thisreportprovidedfinancial-aiddataforthe1990-91academicyear,show-ingaverageparentalcontributions,studentcontributions(typicallyfromsavingsandsummerjobs),outsidegrants(fromFederalandStatesourcesandfoundations),studentselfhelp(mostlyfromwork-studypositions),andgrantsoffinancialaidprovidedbytheUniversity.ThosepersonswholackfamiliaritywiththeUniversity’sfinancial-aidprogram,andthosewhoseektounderstandthebasisfortherecommendationsabove,shouldreviewthereportofthe1991-92committeebeforestudyingthisreport.Projected Tuition Income and Costs of Financial Aid InApril,1993,duringadiscussionoftheneed-blindadmissionspolicyattheUniversityCouncilmeeting,Mr.SteveGolding,theUniversityBudgetDirector(recentlypromotedtotheVice-presidentforFinancialAffairs),indicatedthattheunrestrictedbudgetforundergraduateaidisoffsetagainsttheundergraduatetuitionrevenuesallocatedtotheschools.

Salary Recovery from Endowed Chairs InthecurrentCampaignforPenn,endowmentfundsforapproximately140chairprofessorshipshavebeendonated,which,at$2millionperchair,provideapproximately$280millionofendowmentfunds.Itisourunder-standingthatwhenanendowedchairisreceived,therecipient’ssalaryisnolongerchargedagainstthebudgetofhisorherschool.Hence,thecentraladministrationshouldbeinthepositiontoassignafractionoftherecipient’ssalarytofinancialaid.Sinceasignificantfractionofthesefacultyteachtheundergraduates,aportionoftheirsalarieswouldbecomeavailableannuallyforfinancialaid.Thiscouldamountto$1-2millionannually. TheAdmissionsandFinancialAidCommitteeraisesthispossibilityasacomponentofthemoregeneralquestion:Towhatextentdoendowedchairsfreeupgeneralfundordiscretionarymonies?Astheneedforfinancialaidgrows,itmaybecogenttopursuethiscourse.Perhaps,toachieveabetter-qualifiedstudentbody,thisproposalwillbeappealingtothefacultyandadministration.Performance Requirements for Financial Aid WhileitiswellrecognizedthatPennstudentsareamongthebestintheUnitedStates,theCommitteequestionedwhetheritwouldbeappropriatetoconsideranupgradeoftheperformancerequirementsforstudentstoretainfinancialaid.Currently,aGPAthatexceeds2.0mustbemaintainedtoremainingoodstandingandbeeligibleforfinancialaid. Atotheruniversities,studentsareexpectedtomaintainaveragesinex-cessof3.0or3.25tocontinuereceivingfinancialaid,andhence,itseemedreasonabletoquestionwhetherasimilarpolicyatPennwouldimprovetheperformanceofourstudentbodywhilepurgingtheweakerstudentswhoarehavingdifficultiesacademically.Itwasrecognizedthatsuchanapproachwouldhavetheadvantageofstrengtheningthestudentbodywhilereducingthecostoffinancialaid,butwouldplaceanundueburdenonfinanciallyneedystudents.Forstudentswhoarewellprepared,butnotfunctioningatahighlevel,itwouldprovideanimportantincentivetoworkharder. After some deliberation, theCommittee concluded that raising theminimumGPAtomaintainfinancialaid,e.g.,to2.5,wouldhaveanegativeimpactonthestudentsadmittedinthespecial-interestcategories.Sincemany of these students have weaker credentials when admitted, suchapolicywouldworkagainst thepopulationof students theneed-blindadmissionspolicyisintendedtohelp.Conclusions and Recommendations Severalconclusionsandrecommendationsfollowfromtheargumentspresentedabove: 1.

Guidelines for Addressing Academic Issuesof Students with Disabilities

The following Provost’s Memorandum, originally issued on June 2, 1989, is being published as a reminderto the University Community not only of our policy regarding students with disabilities, but of the resources available.It has been revised to include the definition of disability that is used in the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.It also incorporates recent changes in the accessible vehicle guidelines (formerly known as Handivan) andlists additional accommodations available to students with disabilities.
