Minutes of the University Senate, November 13, 1967 (con't)

Senate Committee, presented the four recommendations encompassing size, ‘

composition, election procedures, voting members of the University Senate, W
as set forth in the circularization from the University Senate Committee dated
November 1, 1967, and recommended that the Senate accept, in principle, the
recommendations made on items one through four as presented. The recommendation
was seconded. Motion was then made to amend paragraph 1 under item (2)
Composition, to read as follows:

Dean Robert Drake, acting for Dr. Richard Butwell, Chairman of the Universuyg"
\

”The committee recommends that the University Senate continue to be
composed of both elected and ex officio members and that the elected
members represent proportionately the members of the fulltime teaching
and/or research faculty* with no administrative title above that of
department chairman (with the rank of assistant professor or higher)
of the following groups: .”

The Senate approved this amendment to the original motion.

 

The Senate recessed at 5:00 p.m. to reconvene at 7:30 p.m., Monday, EN
November 20, 1967, in the Court Room of the Law Building. ‘

The Senate reconvened at 7:30 p.m., Monday, November 20th, in the Court Room 1
of the Law Building.

The Chairman stated that while it had been expected that action would resume ‘
on the recommendations made in the University Senate Committee Report, it was the
belief of the Committee that the greatest advantage to be gained from this
reconvened meeting was broader discussion and more feedback concerning the size,
composition, election procedures, and role of ex officio members of the Senate;
further, that the Committee would like to make itself available to confer with
individuals and/or small groups about these matters during the week of November Nd
after which the Committee would reconsider its charges in the light of the over-afl‘.
discussions and present a revised report to the December meeting of the Universiw ”
Senate. He reported that the Senate Council favored this course of action and ‘5!”
that he was asking for the general consent of the Senate to refer the report MF'
back to the Committee for further study and, simultaneously, to charge the I
Committee with presenting a revised report at the December 11, 1967 meeting of Hm
Senate. w

Following discussion which revealed differing opinions, a hand vote was takw
which gave approval to open the floor to discussion of the Committee's recommendaflma
further conference with individuals and groups during the week of November 27th,
and report by the Committee to the December meeting of the Senate.

The following questions were raised and discussed:
Should the Directors of Aerospace and Military Science be included in the ex
officio membership. If so, department chairmen should also be included in this

group.

What does the chair envision is the function of the Senate outside the ¢%i
Senate Council.

Why should the associate dean of Agriculture be included in the ex officio
membership and not associate deans of other colleges.

Minutes of the University Senate, November 13, 1967 (con't)

Paragraph (3) (a) of the Committee's report covering eligibility should be
clarified. The Senate informally voted that there be no time restriction on the
eligibility of an assistant professor to be elected to the Senate.

What persons now listed by office as ex officio members should, in fact,
be ex officio members.

The chair asked for an informal indication, by show of hands, of those who
favored the Committee's recommendation that ex officio members not be eligible
to vote. A majority indicated that ex officio members should have n9 vote.

The chair asked for further expression of whether or not the three student
members should have voting privileges. By a show of hands the Senate indicated
their preference that the three students not be allowed a vote.

The Committee should consider the question of whether or not an alternate
student representative should be designated to attend when the President,
Student Congress, cannot and to spell this out in the regulations concerning
ex officio members.

Should the ex officio members (including the three student members) be
subject to the same rules that govern non~attendance for the elected faculty——

that of expulsion for three unexplained absences during an academic year.

Question was raised of how to designate the groups in item (2) of the
Committee's Report covering Composition. A member of the Committee indicated
that a flexible mechanism might be instituted for determination of ex officio
'members rather than pinning the membership down by specification.

Where there are joint faculty appointments a mechanism should be instituted
so that they are not counted in both places.

Clarification is needed of whether the election is to be conducted by the
Secretary, University Senate, or by other means.

If an Election Committee is not re—established, an interpretative body should
be provided to help the Secretary of the Senate resolve points of doubt.

Those who are eligible to vote should be spelled out.

The Committee should consider means to implement transition from the presently—
constituted body to whatever size body is approved.

The Committee should consider the matter of representation as it relates to
younger members of the faculty (under—representation by the younger, less well—
known faculty).

The Senate voted informally that the present size (1—5 ratio) should govern
Senate size.

Should item (2), CompoSition, be stated by college or school rather than
divisions or groups.
