ABSTRACT: The Task Force on Undergraduate Admissions
undertook in 1976 to determine: (1) what steps, if any, to
take to participate the results of the California
Postsecondary Education Commission study of the
university's
eligibility pool, which may show that the pool has grown
larger than 12 1/2 percent in high school graduates; (2)
what recommendations should be made for affirmative action
in admissions; (3) what are the academic, administrative,
affirmative action, and procedural implications of the
recommendations proposing that performance test scores be
coupled with high school GPA as a basis for admission; (4)
what alternate predictors of success, if any, should the
university consider in admissions; and (5) what is the
assessment of the university's experiment in reduced
minimal
admissions requirements for transfer students? The task
force responses and recommendations are included, and the
university's admissions requirements, proposals, and
related
information are appended. (Author/MSE)

This is an ERIC database document. ERIC is the National
Education Information Network for providing ready access
to the literature of education -descriptions of exemplary
programs, research and development efforts, and related
information that can be used in developing more effective
educational programs. The ERIC database is currently
available on CD-ROM in the main library (ground floor of
the west wing) at Michigan State University. To locate
ERIC documents in the library identify the first line of
each record (i.e., the field ERIC TITLE NUMBER). ED
following ERIC TITLE NUMBER indicates an ERIC document,
an unpublished research study. Most of these items are
available in the Microforms library, located on the 3rd
floor of the west wing. All you need is the six digit ED
number. If EJ follows ERIC TITLE NUMBER the item is a
journal article. The complete journal name is listed after
the code JOURNAL.
