CONSOLIDATED STUDE UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, LAS VEGA 4505 Maryland Parkway Las Vegas, Nevada 89154 Telephone (702) 739-347? MINORITY REPORT OF THE AD HOC COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE THE INFORMATION DIRECTOR PROPOSAL 30 June 1981 Following are my objections to the recommendations made by the committee« Blue books should not be the responsibility of an Information Director, All work need not be coordinated with the UNLV Office of Information Services. All off campus publicity must be approved by the Office of Information Services,but gaining such approval for all forms of on campus publicity would mean an unnecessary work load for the CSUN Information Director. It is .impossible to determine at this time the amount of time requlxed to fulfill the responsibilities of this position,simply because it has nelzer been done. If this is not a full time position, CSUN will be wasting thousands of dollars paying a full-time professional salary. By preparing for the coming year during the summer, the Director can cut down the fall and spring workload. The 1981-82 budget has already been planned and approved, and it simply does not include $12,000 to pay a professional employee. As CSUN must vjork through Affirmative Action in hiring a proffesional employee, we may be forced to provide CSUN funds, a£so unbudgeted, made necessary by a national or regional search. Also, conducting such a search would take time. We don't have time„ The goals we have set in forming this position are to be reached this year, the position must be filled as soon as possible. The qualifications recommended by the Committee are unnecessary» Dr. Larry Kokkeler, professor of communication studies specializing in public relations, has expressed the opinion that this position can be effectively filled by an undergraduate. CSUN is a student organization, run by students. Allowing a student to serve as CSUN Information Director will provide him valuable experience. "Information Director" is a more accurate title than "Publicity Director" if duties such as overseeing the student directory are to be delegated to this person. Also, experience has shown that people are less willing to cooperate with a person whose title includes "publicity." Because I object to the recommendations made by the Committee, I sulxir.if the attached proposal as an alternative to both the committee's recomm&ndeztions and the original proposal. The CSUN Information Director will oversee CSUN press relations and publicity of the activities of CSUN departments. The Information Director will be responsible for A. Providing both on campus and off campus media with press information, including press releases, photographs public service announcements and public statements by the CSUN Executive Board and the CSUN Senate. B. Arranging all media advertising. C. Overseeing design and printing of all promotional materials. D. Arranging press conferences when necessary. The Information Director will not be responsible for A. Delivering materials to or picking materials up from printers or other agents. B. Posting and distributing promotional materials. The Information Director wi
