our faculty senate and the board of
trustees,” Douglas said. “They just
disregarded our statutes and pro
cedures governing our senate's
committees.”
Prokasy said Wednesday that he
doesn’t agree with the UI senate.
“I believe appropriate steps were
taken in the termination of the ge
netics department,” he said.
“When it says I approved (the
termination), I acted on a faculty
decision,” Prokasy said. “I didn f t
approve it until after the faculty of
the arts and sciences college had
voted to do so.”
But Douglas said relying on the
arts and sciences college’s vote
wasn’t enough. Under UI’s stat
utes, no academic unit may be ter
minated before a review and vote
by the faculty senate.
Prokasy also said he was dis
turbed by the investigation proce
dures at UI. He said he had no
knowledge of the UI senate’s inves
tigation or resolution until last
week when a reporter from The
Daily Illini called him to write the
story.
‘This means I was never con
tacted by the faculty senate or
given a chance to defend my ac
tions,” he said.
“I’m also curious about why an
action approved in the 1986-87
school year wasn’t reviewed until
1990,” Prokasy said.
“Admittedly it took a while to re
alize the extent of the situation,”
Douglas said, “and then the ere-

By PEGGY McGOFF
Contributing Writer
Cultural groups are separated
by a “glass ceiling” which sup
presses minorities and keeps them
rom being a part of society’s deci
sion-making process, a renowned
clinical/industrial psychologist on
cultural diversity said Wednesday.
Edwin J. Nichols, speaking to an
audience of about 25 people in the
Tate Student Center’s Georgia
Hall, challenged University stu
dents to reduce this glass ceiling by
accepting the thought and value
systems of ethnic groups different
from their own.
As part of the fourth annual
Multiracial UGA program, Nichols’
speech traced the history of Euro
pean, African and Asian value,
knowledge and logic systems.
02403202Developed thousands
of years ago, these systems con
tinue to separate ethnic groups,
Nichols said.
He divided American society
into policy-makers and policy-fol
lowers. White males, the “ A-
group,” decide policy, he said,
while women and minorities, the
“B-group,” only implement that
policy.
Group B never becomes a part of
formulating policy, while Group A
becomes very ethnocentric and
very gender-biased, Nichols said.
This “cultural bias” prevents the
resources of women and ethnic
groups from being fully utilized.
American society must understand
ethnic differences to prevent this
waste of resources.
He warned, however, that
changes in society's emphasis on
the white male must be made care
fully. “We have to be very cautious
in beginning to change. Otherwise,
we all lose.”
Nichols encouraged the mostly-
student audience to look for oppor
tunities to experience cultural di-

versity. By working towards racial
tolerance, students may begin to
change perceptions of ethnic
groups.
“Begin to venture out, to look, to
see and to realize that we are dif
ferent,” he said.
Not everyone in the half-black,
half-white audience agreed with
Nichols' theory. Scott Starling, a
senior in a post-graduate journa
lism program, believes fault lies in
the idea that tolerance will dis
solve the separation between
Group A and Group B.
“I think the problem is that he is
applying a capitalistic viewpoint
instead of an egalitarian one,”
Starling said. He feels a capital
istic system will always support
the glass ceiling that suppresses
minorities.

‘We have to be very
cautious in beginning

we all lose.’
-Edwin J. Nichols
a psychologist
fairs Council president, disagrees.
“Once people are educated in the
area of cultural differences, I think
we can get rid of a lot of racism and
discrimination,” he said.
Roundtree, like most of the audi
ence, thought the lecture-style pro
gram was excellent. “It was very
different from the typical rabble-
rouser speech on campus,” he said.

Douglas said the principal con
cern of the senate was to resolve
the grievances of the faculty af
fected by the termination.
“My concern isn’t in placing
blame, it’s for the faculty members
who were displaced," he said. “You
htove to realize that these faculty
members were left without depart
ment affiliation. They couldn’t get
salary increases and existed
