 \nWednesday,July 3,1985  \n# BENNETT ANNOUNCES RESEARCH REORGANIZATION PLAN,BUT LEAVES FIPSE OUT\n\nEducation Secretary William Bennett yesterday announced a long-expected plan toconsolidate the Education Department's research operation but backed off anearlier intention to move a higher education improvement program to the newresearch office.  \nUnder the plan,which wil1 take effect in 90 days barring congressional action,the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education(FIPSE)will remainhoused in the Office of Postsecondary Education instead of being relocated tothe newly structured Office of Educational Research and Improvement(OERI),amove top ED officlals last week said might occur.  \nAnd ED eventually plans to rename OERI the National Institute of Education,which now refers to only part of the division.While ED does not need con-gressional approval to revamp the division,it does need Congress to pass abill changing OERI's name.Wendell W11lkie,Bennett's chief of staff,said thepurpose of the name change is to keep research activities identified with NIE,the name with which those functions have traditionally been associated.EDwill soon send Congress the bil1,he added.  \n# Opposition To FIPSE SwitchThe projected realignment of FIPSE drew oppo-sition from the higher education community,especially from the American Coun-cil of Education(ACE),which said such a move would 1solate the $12.7 m1llion-grant program from other important higher education functions(HED,July 1)。\n\n\"We decided to conduct the reorganization simply within the context\"of theexssting programs in OERI,said W11lkie。The only program currently outsideOERI to be incorporated in the new research office is certain portions of thesecretary's discretionary fund,which will be moved to a new sub-unit of OERIcalled Improvement of Practice,he added.  \n\"That relieves our primary concern,\"said Charles Saunders,vice president ofgovernmental relations for ACE。\"They clearly recognized the concern ofFIPSE's location by both the [higher education]community and Congress.\"  \nOther than FIPSE,the plan Bennett announced in yesterday's news conference is1dentical to a proposal ED officials released last week to interest groups andkey members of Congress(HED,June 26)。It would eliminate NIE and the Nation-al Center for Education Statistics,as they now exist,and give the assistantsecretary for OERI more hands-on control of research.It will also make NIE'soversight council an advisory committee for the whole research office.  \nThe new $215million OERI will not significantly alter staffing or funding nor                                       (more)   \n      July 3,1985  \n# BENNETT ANNOUNCES RESEARCH REORGANIZATION PLAN,BUT LEAVES FIPSE OUT(Cont.)\n\nhave any impact on the competition for research laboratories and centers cur-rently under way at NIE,ED officials said.  \nDescribing the department's first significant step toward reorganization,Ben-nett said the plan would \"streamline\"research and\"make it more responsive tothe needs of the people.\"He added a renewed commitment to peer review andinvolving practitioners in setting the research agenda.  \nSpecifically,the plan will \"eliminate needless administrative duplication\"bycutting out layers of bureaucracy,according to Bruce Carnes,special assistantto the secretary.\"It will eliminate bureaucratic congestion\"by eliminatingthe presidentially appointed NIE director and deputy director,leaving the as-sistant secretary for OERI with more direct responsibility,he said.  \nChester Finn,OERI assistant secretary designate,added that eliminating thosepositions will also cut down on paper work,staff offices and budget prepara-tion confusion.--Diane Reis  \n# SCHOOL PLANS
