B. INTERIM REPORT RE UNIFICATION OF MANAGEMENT AT INDIANA-PURDUE REGIONAL CAMPUS AT FORT WAYNE.   (F,  H,   11/4/70)
Vice President Lawshe reported that he has on his desk a proposal which is also being submitted to Indiana University providing for complete unification of all student services (including admissions and registration) at the Indiana-Purdue Regional Campus at Fort Wayne.    The proposal has been signed by the Purdue Dean and Director and the Indiana Chancellor at Fort Wayne.    Dr.   Lawshe said he is prepared to endorse this proposal which has many ramifications of importance in the operation of a joint facility.
Dr.   Lawshe also reported that he felt that some ground work for the future of unification was laid when he and Dr.  Hicks met recently -with President Ryan of Indiana University.    Although this is a difficult problem -wath much detail work to be done,  he felt that,   with the support of the Trustees,   a good start has been made on eventual complete unification of management at the Fort Wayne campus.    If this cannot be achieved within the next two to three years,   there is a great possibility that the Fort Wayne campus -will become an autonomous university.    A Commission on Higher Education,   if such is authorized by.the- 1971 Indiana General Assembly, will have the authority to recommend that action.
