to sponsor their employees to return
to business school and receive management
degrees, Merten predicts.
Students will receive 20 credits
of advanced standing toward the
MBA degree for their previous
graduate work and will participate in
an accelerated core curriculum beginning
in June each year. They will
complete their degrees with elective
courses taken during the following
fall and spring semesters.
ILR ENTERS RESEARCH
CONSORTIUM
The School of Industrial and Labor
Relations has finally become a partner
in the National Center for the
Workplace (NCW), a multiuniversity
research consortium examining
problematic trends in the workplace
and developing ways to improve industrial
and labor-management relations.
Cornell originally developed the
idea for the NCW, convinced Congress
to appropriate funds for it and
had hoped to run it. But the Department
of Labor rejected ILR's bid in
favor of a proposal by the University
of California at Berkeley. The consortium
also includes Columbia University
and the Universities of Wisconsin
and Texas.
TRIMESTERS CONSIDERED
What do you get if you cut Winter
Break by 10 days and begin spring
semester two weeks early? The
answer: a new trimester schedule—
and some unhappy students. The
idea is beginning to circulate among
some university officials looking for
ways to reduce costs.
Campus planners believe that a
trimester plan, which would make
greater use of campus facilities yearround,
would use the university budget
more effectively by improving
marginal costs and enabling students
to increase their incomes by earning
more money from summer jobs.
The proposal is expected to be
put on the strategic planning agenda
for the Faculty Council of Representatives.
University calendars are traditionally
planned five years in advance.
