The ex officio voting membership shall include the academic deans.

The ex officio non—voting membership shall include the President,
all Vice Presidents, the chairmen of the several standing University
Senate Committees, including Senate Advisory Committees and the
Academic Ombudsman if not already elected members. Other ex officio
members may be added by the University Senate Council for the purpose
of supplying information and viewpoints on problems considered by
the Senate. These ex officio members shall enjoy all the privileges
of the elected membership except the right to vote.

Dr. Ogletree reminded the Senators that the Senate is responsible for
academic policy and that there are at least three Vice Presidents who deal
directly with academic affairs: the Vice President for Academic Affairs,
the Vice President for the Medical Center, and the Vice President for.

the Community College System. He then made a motion to amend the previous—

ly approved motion to return these three Vice Presidents to voting status
in the Senate. The motion was seconded.

At this point in the deliberations question was called of the presence
of a quorum. A count indicated the lack of a quorum.

The Senate then voted to adjourn, and the Senate adjourned at

Minutes of the University Senate, March 8, 1971

  

Mr. Mark Paster, a student, was permitted to attend the Senate meeting.

The minutes of the regular meeting of February 8, 1971 were approved as
circulated.

On behalf of the College of Business and Economics, Dr. Charles F.

Haywood presented a resolution on the death of Professor R. D. McIntyre.

Robson Duncan McIntyre
Born March 11, 1899
Died February 26, 1971

R. D. McIntyre was a member of the original faculty of
the College of Commerce (now College of Business and Economics),
having joined the faculty of the University of Kentucky in 1925,
the year in which the College was established. He retired from
the position of Professor of Marketing in 1965. His forty years
of University tenure included three years of military leave with
the U.S. Army Air Forces, from which he was released in 1945
with the rank of Major. He had also served in the U. 3. Army
Infantry in World War I.

In 1964 Professor McIntyre was awarded the Sullivan Medallion.
In making the citizen's award to an active member of the faculty
for the first time, the Faculty Committee on Sullivan Awards set
aside a precedent of thirty—eight years. The presentation of the
Sullivan Medallion by President John W. Oswald included the
following tribute: "As Professor of the College of Commerce, and
as faculty adviser to student groups, you have given fully of your
capacities in inspiring and assisting students to achieve to the
fullest of their potentialities, and you have done this in a manner
which has earned for you the lasting affection and respect of the
students and faculty. Among students, faculty and alumni you are
known affectionately as 'Professor Mac'——the man who is always
available when help is needed.”

Professor Mac was a faculty member of the first Student Union
Board. He was a charter member of the Alpha of Kentucky Chapter
of Beta Gamma Sigma, national honor society for scholarship in
business administration. For many years he served as faculty
adviser to Delta Sigma Pi, national honor society for service in bus—
iness administration. In 1928 he was elected to membership in
Omicron Delta Kappa, national honor society for leadership, and
served the local chapter in various capacities throughout his
tenure with the University. He was elected to the General Council
of ODK as National Member at Large in 1937—39, National Treasurer
of ODK from 1939 to 1953, National Vice President 1953—1955, and two
terms as National President 1955—1959. In 1953 ODK conferred
upon him, as the eleventh recipient in the Society's history, its
Distinguished Service Key, and at the Society's Golden Anniversary
Convention in 1964 he received the Meritorious Service Award.

Professor Mac was one of the founders and a member of the first
Board of Directors of the Central Kentucky Community Concert
Association, now Central Kentucky Concert and Lecture Series, Inc.

 
   
  
 
 
  
  
  
 
 
 
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
  
 
  
   
    
 
 
 
  
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

  

    
   
       
 
   
   
   
  
 
 
 
 
  
  
 
   
    
    
    
  
  
  
   
   
   
    
   
    

Minutes of the University Senate, March 8, 1971

He was president of the Association for sixteen years, and

for twenty years he was chairman of the Artists Committee,
which has brought to Lexington many outstanding musical organ—
izations and soloists.

Professor Mac was a native of Illinois and held the B.S.
and M.S. degrees from the University of Illinois. He is survived .
by an uncle and a cousin. His home was, in fact, the University '
of Kentucky, and his family included his many colleagues and the 5
more than four thousand alumni of the College of Business and
Economics. It is appropriate that this Senate should by resolu—
tion pay tribute to the memory of a colleague who through distinguished
community service brought honor to our University.

 

On behalf of the College of Law, Dean W. L. Matthews, Jr. presented E
a resolution on the death of Professor Roy M. Moreland. l

m
‘?33 The Faculty of the College of Law presents this resolution in ”)x‘
memory of Professor Roy M. Moreland who passed away on the morning
of Wednesday, March 3, 1971, shortly after coming to his office at
the Law School. .

 

For forty years Professor Moreland was an excellent law teacher 3
and a widely recognized legal scholar and writer. Since retiring
from teaching in 1966 he had continued his research and publication f
in criminal law and the conflicts of law. Also, he had continued to \
be in daily attendance at the Law School, and had maintained a L
comprehensive interest in the affairs of the College and the Univer— {
sity.

 

 

1
Professor Moreland's whole professional career was given to (
this institution and to the community and state of which it is a l
part. After undergraduate study at Transylvania, he received the ;
LL.B. degree from the University of Kentucky in 1923. He practiced fla
law at the Lexington bar before joining the faculty in 1926, 4":
near the close of the formative years of the Law School. His
graduate work was taken at the University of Chicago where he r
received the J.D. degree and at the Harvard Law School where he E
received the S.J.D. degree.

 

Throughout his long tenure Professor Moreland contributed
distinctively and in many ways to the development of legal education,
here and elsewhere. He was Faculty Editor of the Kentucky Law \
Journal for many years. He was instrumental in reforming and drafting
the Kentucky Code of Criminal Procedure. He served in this Senate
at different times. He taught and counseled a great many students ,
of different generations, who now practice law throughout Kentucky ‘
‘,' to a high standard. The effect of his mind and manner on all who

‘ came under his instruction will be long remembered by them.

In all of his efforts Professor Moreland had the professional
and personal respect of his students, faculty colleagues, and many
friends. They will miss him greatly, as will the College of Law
and the University of Kentucky which he served so well.

Minutes of the University Senate, March 8, 1971

Be it resolved, therefore, that this resolution in his

memory, become a part of the minutes of the University Senate,
and that copies be sent to his family.

The Senate stood for a moment of silence in tribute to Professor McIntyre
and Professor Moreland and in acceptance of the resolutions.

At the time of adjournment of the February 8, 1971 University Senate
meeting there was a motion on the floor to amend the amendment to Dr.
Ogletree's amendment, as amended, to return the Vice President for
Academic Affairs, the Vice President for the Medical Center, and the
Vice President for the Community College System to voting status in the
University Senate. The Senate approved this motion which was on the
floor at the time of adjournment of the previous meeting.

Dr. Michael Adelstein made a motion to amend the amendment to
Dr. Ogletree's amendment, as amended twice, to extend ex officio
non—voting membership to the Professors of Aerospace Science and Military
Science. The Senate approved this motion.

The Senate then approved the Ogletree amendment as amended by the
Senate Council and further amended to add the Director of Libraries
and the three academic Vice Presidents to the ex officio voting
membership, and the Directors of Aerospace and Military Science to the
non—voting ex officio membership. The amendment as finally approved
by the Senate for recommendation to the President for presentation to
the Board of Trustees as an amendment to the Governing Regulations
reads as follows:

The ex officio voting membership shall include the academic
deans, the Director of Libraries, the Vice President for Academic
Affairs, the Vice President for the Medical Center, and the
Vice President for the Community College System.

The ex officio non—voting membership shall include the President,
all other Vice Presidents, the Director of Aerospace Science, the
Director of Military Science, the chairmen of the several standing
University Senate Committees, including Senate Advisory Committees
and the Academic Ombudsman if not already elected members.

Other ex officio members may be added by the University Senate
Council for the purpose of supplying information and viewpoints
on problems considered by the Senate. These ex officio

members shall enjoy all the privileges of the elected membership
except the right to vote.

Dr. Rovin spoke to the Senate as follows:

At the January meeting I raised the point that we might want to
reconsider a different kind of role for the Senate Council in trying to
expedite the business and the matters that come in front of this body.
Actually, what I was really saying was that perhaps we ought to
reconsider what this body does in the role that the Senate plays.

 
  
 
 
 
    
 
 
 
   
  
  
  
  
 
  
   
  
 
 
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
  
  
 
 
 
 

 

  

  

 

 

 

 

Minutes of the University Senate, March 8, 1971

It seems that, to a great extent, this body considers issues which
could be handled by your executive body, the Council; small issues,
minutiae, which could be considered and reported on in a different way
thus releasing the Senate for consideration of more substantive issues.
Examples: the future of graduate education and review of current graduate
programs, the future of undergraduate education, evaluation of academic
planning and area requirements, the advising program, the size of the
student body, is education for all citizens feasible, the disadvantaged
student program, responsibility to faculty members, a definition of
research, quality of assessment of research, innovation and pedagogical
practices, e£_cetera.

The Council feels that these are the items of substance which should
be considered by the Senate and that these are the kinds of goals that the
Senate should be considering —— how we attain them.

To this end, we would like to make some suggestions for how the
Council might function better to facilitate this body's consideration
of the more important items. Examples: responsibility for the University
Calendar, candidates for degrees, conditions for graduation, waivers
of minor rules when deemed appropriate and which do not change policy,
minor editorial and mechanical changes in the Rules (this could be done
in concert with the Rules Committee), certain program approvals (in
January we brought to you a program in Family Practice in the College of
Allied Health Professions). These programs are worked up in detail by
the Council and brought to this body. It seems there might be other
ways of handling these. We can handle items such as the candidates
for degrees, calendars, and issues of concern embodying only a small
segment of the University by stipulation rather than by considering
them on this floor. Another mechanism would be to report on these at
the beginning of each Senate session.

If this body would delegate to the Council the handling of these items
it seems that these other more substantive items could be brought to
this floor for consideration-

Dr. Rovin then asked for floor discussion on the above recommendations.
Professor Sedler stated that with the present ZOO—size Senate he felt
the only way it could function effectively in dealing with philosophical
questions was through the appointment of smaller groups of the Senate to
explore a given subject, analyze it, and make action recommendations to
the full Senate. Dr. Rovin stated that such a mechanism had already
been begun in that the annual reports of the Senate Committees would be
submitted as one or two—page reports circulated to the faculty which
delineated the action items to be implemented, depending on the decision
of the Senate, and that the rationale would be a separate document to be
on file in the Senate Council Office.

Professor John Lienhard raised the question of the prerogative of the Senate
to approve degree candidates. Dr. Rovin explained that the prerogative

was not being removed; that it was only the mechanism; that the list

of candidates would be circulated to the faculty and if no objection was
raised Within the prescribed ten—day period the list of candidates would
then become official for presentation to the Board of Trustees; and that
this change in mechanism would eliminate the call for a special meeting

of the whole Senate in order to approve candidates for degrees.

I
Dr. Rovin stated further that the Council would want its handling
of minutiae to be an informal one, a "gentlemen's agreement” so that the
Senate would feel free to voice its disapproval of the Council actions
at any time it saw fit to do so.

Dr. Rovin then asked for an informal show of hands of those Senators who
were in accord with the recommendations he had presented. A majority
of the Senators indicated accord with Dr. Rovin's suggestions.

On behalf of the Senate Advisory Committee on Student Affairs Dr.
Frank Buck, Chairman of that Committee, presented a new proposal concerning
student participation in academic affairs, such proposal to amend Section
V, to add sub-head G. to the Rules of the University Senate, Revised
October, 19K). This proposed amendment in the Rules to add this sub-head

had been circulated to the faculty under date of March 1, 1971 by the
Senate Council.

Following limited discussion the Senate approved the amendment to the
Rules of the University Senate to add sub—head G under Section V. This
amendment, as presented and approved, reads as follows:

G. Student Participation in_Academic Affairs

1. The faculty of each college within the University and the
faculty of the Graduate School shall establish some form of
Student Advisory Council (SAC) to represent student opinion on
academic matters pertinent to that college or school.

2. The form for each council as well as the areas of responsi—
bility shall be determined by the faculty of the college or

school. Students themselves shall be responsible for the
selection of council members by democratic process. Each

student advisory council shall keep records of its proceedings.

The Dean of such college or school shall forward for approval

a statement of form and of areas of responsibility to (a) the
Senate Advisory Committee on Student Affairs and (b) the President.

3. The faculty of each college or school shall determine
whether a student member of its Student Advisory Council shall
be entitled to vote with its faculty council or equivalent
body on academic affairs.

The Senate approved a motion to adjourn and adjourned at 3:42 p.m.

Law Building.

Items on the agenda will include the resolution per—
taining to amendment of the Governing Regulations to permit
administrators to vote in the Senate (which was on the
floor of the Senate at the time of adjournment of the

UNIVERSITY SENATE COUNCIL
Io ADMINISTRATION BUILDING March 1, 197].

TO: University Senate and University Faculty
FROM: Senate Council

SUBJECT: Agenda Item-for March 8, 1971 Senate Meeting:
Proposal from the Senate Advisory Committee on
Student Affairs Relative to Student Participation
in Academic Affairs

The following proposal, as presented by the Senate Advisory
Committee on Student Affairs, is circulated to the faculty and Senate in
accordance with the Rules of the University Senate for consideration at
the Senate meeting of March 8, 1971. It is recommended that the Rules
of the University Senate (Revised October 1970) be amended as indicated
below:

 

INSERT Section C, under V. , page 63, of the Rules of the University
Senate, to be entitled, Student Participation in Academic Affairs as
follows:

Student Participation in Academic Affairs

1. The faculty of each college within the University and
the faculty of the Graduate School shall establish some
form of Student Advisory Council (SAC) to represent
student opinion on academic matters pertinent to that
college or school.

2. The form for each council as well as the areas of
responsibility shall be determined by the faculty of the
college or school. Students themselves shall be responsi-
ble for the selection of council members by democratic
process. Each student advisory council shall keep
records of its proceedings. The Dean of such college or
school shall forward for approval a statement of form

and of areas of re5ponsibility to (a) the Senate Advisory
Committee on Student Affairs and (b) the President.

 

 University Senate and University Faculty
Agenda Item, March 8, Senate Meeting re
Student Participation in Academic Affairs
March 1, 1971

3. The faculty of each college or school shall determine
whether a student member of its Student Advisory Council
shall be entitled to vote with its faculty council or equivalent
body on academic affairs.

This proposed codification has the concurrence of the Rules
Committee. Therefore, the Senate Council endorses it in the spirit
set forth in the Governing Regulations of the University of Kentucky which
provide for student participation in the educational units of the University
and recommends its acceptance by the Senate.

INFORMATION AND BACKGROUND:

 

The form of the Student Advisory Council should be determined
by the normal faculty-administrative structure established in each college.
In the creation of the Council, consultation with students is essential. No
particular form should be required, so as to allow as much flexibility as
possible among the various units. The purpose here intended is to maxi-

mize student participation in academic policy—making; therefore, the
larger the college unit, the greater the number of students to be involved
in voicing diverse student concerns. Appendix A provides a possible

model of form; Appendix B suggests appropriate areas of W.

 

The Committee strongly recommends that at least one student
be allowed a vote on the Faculty Council. In accordance with the
Governing Regulations, it leaves the decision to the faculty of each
unit, how to determine the means of liaison between Faculty Council
and Student Advisory Council.

The participants in the various SACs are subject to the rules
set forth in Part II: Selected Rules of the University Senate Governing
Academic Relationships, in the document, Student Rights and Responsibilities.

APPENDIX A

A POSSIBLE PLAN FOR THE FORMATION AND ORGANIZATION OF A COLLEGE
SAC

In March, 1971, or as soon thereafter as possible, each major teaching
unit dean should announce with appropriate publicity that a meeting of all under-
graduates and/or a meeting of all graduate students will be held to establish
Undergraduate and/or Graduate SACs. At these meetings, students would
determine the size of their SACX and elect members using the following guide-
lines:

(1) The Graduate SAC should be composed of no less than three (3)

nor more than seven (7) members.

(2) Each Undergraduate SAC should be composed of no less than

five (5) nor more than eleven (11) members. At least one-third
of the members of each Undergraduate SAC should be under—
classnien (freshmen and sophomores) and at least one-third
should be upperclassmen (juniors and seniors), unless an
insufficient number of these students are available.

(3) Members would serve through April 30, 1972.

Beginning in March, 1972, and each March thereafter, the members
of each SAC would be selected for a term beginning with their selection and
continuing through the end of April of the following year. Members should
be selected by one, or a combination, of the following procedures, as the
outgoing SAC shall determine:

(1) election in public meeting, with candidates being nominated

through application to the outgoing SAC;

election by college—wide ballot;

selection by the outgoing SAC through an application-screening
process;

selection by a sub-committee of the outgoing SAC and the chief
administrative officer at that level through an application- ,
screening process;

election or selection through a representative system whereby
educational sub-fields or sub-units of that SAC unit are given
seats to fill on the SAC.
