(ONBC) officials say their decision to push back the univer- sity’s start up one full year will give them more time to get ready, The surprise announcement came last Wednesday, just a week after a task force of nor- thern MLAs completed a series of public hearings on the opera- tions of UNBC. Officials said the university needs more time to prepare its programs, get accredited by pro- fessional agencies, consult with the colleges and the regions, hire professors and staff, and plan what shape UNBC’s facilities will take throughout the north. Although some courses will be started this year and next year, the bulk of programs are now scheduled to be in place for - September 1994, “While it would be desirable to stay with our target of Tenders go out next week for the pouring of some of the founda- tions, He also pointed to the ex- perience of Simon Fraser Univer- sity when it was set up. Faculty were hired that didn’t really buy into the mandate of that institu- tion, he said, leading to an ad- ministrative crisis and the even- tual dismissal of the president. ‘It was 2 colossal problem that really dogged that university’s academic credibility for a number of years,’’ Sadler said. UNBC’s personnel director had been in the position of having to hire one faculty member every two days from now until opening day, The move to delay is being greeted with relief in the nor- thwest. “It’s a wise decision,’* said local forester Rod Arnold, a member of a group calling itself Council. ‘‘They’ve got to get it right — they've only got one shot at it.” Northwest Community College president Don Anderson said the decision isn’t expected to affect the college’s plans to offer responsible to risk compromis- ing the quality of the university's development just for the sake of maintaining a target date,” said governing council chairman Mur- ray Sadler, ‘“The possibility of last-minute changes and disap- pointments is too great.’’ ‘*People deserve to have a date they can rely upon so they can make definite plans,’’ he said. “September 1993 is no longer a reliable and responsible date. September 1994 is a firm and achievable date.” |. Sadler said the timing of the September of this year. Four or five core arts and science program courses — such as English and psychology — are to be offered here, he said. “*1 think it makes a hell ofa lot of sense,” Anderson said, noting the delay will give more time for the college and the university to determine how they're going to work together, “I don’t think it’s threatening to us at all,” It takes time to set up anew university,’ added Skeena MLA Helmut Giesbrecht. He said the move may be in part a reaction to the criticism ‘university administrators faced at public hearings into northern post-secondary education, chaired by Giesbrecht and Bulkley Valley MLA Jackie Pe- ment. The task force into UNBC operations started its hearings in Prince Rupert and moved east. ‘The. first time we heard . anybody speak in glowing terms of ‘an accumulation of events.” — not any one thing. . “Some people in Prince George are trying to blame this on the regions,” he said. ‘‘And that is unfair. That’s not the only reason. That’s one of the reasons. We need to take more time to listen to and consult with and provide services to the region. But that’s only one of many reasons why we have delayed it.”’ Sadler said construction of main campus buildings in Prince George is going ahead as scheduled. The buildings are ta be’ completed and ‘enclosed _belore. fréeéze-up. this fall. -*. ’ Sadler said clearing of the site has been completed and an ac- cess road has been built. “CHARLIE”, “MARGIE” AND “JOEY” was in ‘Burns Lake,” Giesbrecht said. “‘And that was one person.’” | NEED A | FOSTER HOME WHERE THEY CAN | LIVE TOGETHER Charlie, age 1 2, Marcie, age 10, and Joay, age 8, are well- mannerec, energetic siblings who enjoy participating in ac- - tivities such as cubs/brownies, swimming, skiing, gymnastics and baseball.
