APPENDIX G
INTERLOCKING STUDENT GOVERNMENT WITH THE UNIVERSITY SENATE

All regular student members of the University Senate shall be members
of the Student Senate (or, as it is now called, Assembly). The
Student Government President would continue to be elected in a
campus—wide election, as at present, and would ex officio be a fully
participating member in the University Senate. The functions of the
Presidency within Student Government itself would be taken over by

a Student Executive Committee. This body would be composed of the
President of Student Government, who would be its chairman and its
delegate to the Board of Trustees (unless he was not a state resident),
the three student members of the University Senate Council, and the
Speaker of the Student Senate (to be selected from that body just

as the Speaker of the Assembly is currently). Such a body would
promote better explanation of the diversity of student opinion and
provide the basis for more manpower in discharging the many duties

of the Student Government Presidency. The Student Executive Committee
would be empowered with creation of a cabinet along the lines of the
present system.

 

It should be noted that this plan could easily be joined with the
plan for interlocking student representation in the University
Senate with the Student Advisory Councils, if established. The
advantages of representation achieved there would carry over into
advantages over the current residence system of representation in
the Student Government.

The Senate approved a motion to adjourn at 5:30 p.m.

Dr. Rovin introduced the Senate Council members: Professor Garrett
Flickinger who is completing Dr. Carl Cone's term, Dr. Stephen Diachun, Eg‘
Dr. William K. Plucknett, Professor Staley F. Adams, secretary, Dr.
Timothy H. Taylor, the three newly elected members: Dr. Michael E.
Adelstein, Dr. Roger O. Lambson, and Professor Paul Oberst, and the two

ex officio members: Dr. Robert W. Rudd and Dr. Paul G. Sears, Board of
Trustees' members.

Dr. Rovin requested that the minutes show the appreciation of the
University Senate for the efforts of the former Chairman, Dr. William K.
Plucknett, during the past year.

The minutes of the Senate meeting of December 14, 1970 were approved
with a correction on page five to indicate that Mr. Guido called for a
roll call vote on the motion to adjourn rather than Mr. Nelson; and an
amendment to delete from the minutes the discussions of Mr. Bright and
Dr. Plucknett.

 

On behalf of the Senate Council, Professor Staley Adams, its secretary, 5:.
recommended the establishment of a new Department of Allied Health J
Education and Research in the College of Allied Health Professions, as
described in the memorandum circulated to the faculty under date of
December 2, 1970. The Senate approved the establishment of this department.

 

Establishment of a Department of Allied Health Education
and Research in the College of Allied Health Professions

The establishment of a Center for Learning Resources in Allied
Health within the College of Allied Health Professions has led us to
review carefully some of the potential academic and administrative
problems its presence might create.

This Center will, by its very nature, require faculty from a
variety of disciplines as well as with differing levels of prepara—
tion. It is quite possible that some of them will represent £5»
specialities for which no appropriate department presently exists.
The opportunity for joint appointments will be pursued wherever

*Absence explained

feasible; but even so, it appears to us that there should be a single
department which would be responsible not only for their support, but
also provide the necessary base for their review, evaluation, promotion,
etc.

In addition, the College of Allied Health Professions in the next
few years will become increasingly involved in experimental programs
designed to prepare a variety of new types of health care personnel.

Some of these will eventually deserve departmental status; others

may not. To create a department for each new experimental curriculum
could lead to chaos. Yet, if we are to attract the type and calibre of
faculty these experiments demand, they, too, will require a firm academic
base of operational support.

For these reasons, the Dean of the College of Allied Health
Professions, the College Faculty and the Academic Council for the
Medical Center proposes the establishment of a Department of Allied
Health Education and Research within the College of Allied Health
Professions which would house not only the various faculty but also
the experimental projects as well. Its titular chairman would be the
Dean of the College of Allied Health Professions.

On behalf of the Senate Council, Professor Adams recommended the re—
establishment of the Department of Cell Biology in the College of Medicine,
as circulated and described in the memorandum to the faculty dated December 2,
1970. The Senate approved this recommendation.

Proposed Re—establishment of the Department of
Cell Biology in the College of Medicine

This proposal is one of three recommendations made by the
Vice Presidents of the Medical Center and Academic Affairs re—
lating to the reorganization of the University's academic structure
in basic biology. Since there appears to be general agreement among
those concerned on this recommendation, it is being presented at
this time. The other two recommendations are still under consideration.

It is recommended:
that the present Department of Microbiology resulting from the
combination of the Department of Cell Biology in the College of
Medicine and the Department of Microbiology in the College of
Arts and Sciences be divided and that the Department of Cell
Biology be re—established in the College of Medicine, with instruc—
tional responsibili“y for those courses included in the professional
components of the curricula of the Colleges of the Medical Center
and/or such graduate courses or programs as are approved by the
Graduate Faculty and the Senate Council.

Dr. Ockerman presented a recommendation that the proposed calendars
of the Colleges of Medicine and Dentistry for the academic years 1971—72,
1972—73, 1973—74, as circulated to the faculty in December, 1970, be approved.
The Senate approved these calendars as circulated.

Proposed amendments to the University Calendars for the years 1971,
1972, 1973, and 1974 which had been circulated to the faculty under date
of December 29, 1970, had not been in the hands of the Senators the
required 10 days before this meeting; therefore, the Senate approved a
waiver of the Rules of the Senate so that these proposed amendments might
be considered at this meeting.

 

 

 

The Secretary of the Senate read the proposal to the Senate and recommended F”.
its approval: [7

 

The Senate Council recommends to the Senate that the Baccalaureate—
Vesper Service be eliminated and that Commencement be moved to an
earlier date. This action has been recommended by the University ‘
Cultural and Ceremonials Committee for two reasons: (1) minimizing
the length of time between the end of final examinations, thus
lessening the inconvenience to parents and families, and (2) constantly
decreasing attendance at the Baccalaureate Service. After reviewing
the committee report, the University President recommends dis—
continuance of the Baccalaureate event.

_ In View of the foregoing, an amendment to the University Spring
calendar for the years 1971, 1972, 1973, and 1974 are now proposed
at this meeting of the Senate. This proposal is to delete the following
dates: a

1971 May 9 Sunday Baccalaureate—Vesper Service
May 10 Monday 104th Annual Commencement

 

   

Minutes of the University Senate, January 11, 1971

1972 May 14 Sunday Baccalaureate—Vesper Service
May 15 Monday 105th Annual Commencement

1973 May 13 Sunday Baccalaureate—Vesper Service
May 14 Monday 106th Annual Commencement

1974 May 12 Sunday Baccalaureate—Vesper Service
May 13 Monday 107th Annual Commencement

The statement concerning Commencement should then be added to the
end of Spring Semester date as follows:

1971 May 8 Saturday 104th Annual Commencement
1972 May 13 Saturday 105th Annual Commencement
1973 May 12 Saturday 106th Annual Commencement
1974 May 11 Saturday 107th Annual Commencement

After discussion which revealed the possibility of final examination
conflict; the suggestion that the calendar remain as is for the 1971
Commencement weekend, and future years show the Commencement being held
on Sunday; and some other alternatives presented by the Dean of Admissions
and Registrar, Mr. Bright presented an amendment to the proposed amendment
to move Commencement from the proposed Saturday dates to Sunday dates as
follows: Sunday, May 9, 1971; Sunday, May 14, 1972, Sunday, May 13, 1973;
and Sunday, May 12, 1974. The Senate defeated this motion.

Professor Sedler of the College of Law then recommended that the proposed
amendments to the University Calendars be referred back to the Commencement
Committee (formerly the Ceremonial and Cultural Activities Committee) for
further study. The Senate approved this recommendation.

Chairman Rovin stated that he would like, at this time, to have the
University Senate hold a discussion about the role the Senate sees the
Senate Council playing in terms of expediting the business of the Senate;
ways to streamline these Senate meetings; the kinds of prerogatives the
Senate Council can assume to make things easier for the Senate; and the
Senate's concept of how it would like to see the minutes of the Senate
meetings.

Motion was made and approved to hold this discussion at the next meeting
of the Senate in order to give the Senators time to consider these questions.

On behalf of Dr. S. F. Conti, Director of the Thomas Hunt Morgan
School of Biological Sciences, Dr. Weaver presented a motion that the
approval of change in number and description of ASC/AGR 260, Genetics,
to ASC/AGR 360, Genetics, with changed description be referred back to
the Senate Council; and further, that the concerned parties in the Morgan
School and the College of Agriculture be asked to confer on the problem
of introductory courses in Genetics and report to the Senate Council.

He stated that while the original course description of ASC/AGR 260
did not conflict with any of the courses offered in the Hunt Morgan School,
the new course description overlapped if it did not duplicate material

given in two Arts and Sciences courses, BOT 530 and ZOO 504; that it
almost exactly duplicated an already existing course, BIO 404.

Professor Adams, representing the Undergraduate and Senate Councils, spoke
in defense of the change in number and description of the course, pointing
out that the course had been offered at the University for many years; that
the description change was presented to bring it into line with what is
actually being taught; that it is a basic course in genetics which is

used by the agricultural sciences, pre—veterinary, pre—dentistry, pre—
medicine, education, and others; that it is a very well liked course that
has around 150 students enrolled each time it is offered; that the reason
for change in course number was at the request of students who had asked
that the course be raised 100 in level to bring it into line with what was
actually being taught. He stated further that the BIO 404 course was
designed without investigation of the content of ASC/AGR 260 as it was
being taught, and that, in fact, the Hunt Morgan School had instituted the
course, BIO 404, which duplicated an already existing course, ASC/AGR

260 (now 360).

The Senate then defeated the motion as presented by Dr. Weaver.

Dr. Robert Ogletree, Professor in Education, presented a motion that
the University Senate Council circulate the following motion to members
of the Senate with an appropriate background explanation and that the motion
be brought before this body for action at its regularly scheduled meeting
in February:

The University Senate recommends to the President that the
Board of Trustees be requested to change that section of the
existing Governing Regulations pertaining to the University
Senate so that the President, all Vice Presidents, all Deans,
the Director of Libraries, the Professor of Military Science
and the Professor of Air Science be permitted to enjoy all
the privileges of the elected membership including the right
to vote.

 

Specifically, this motion would change the third paragraph of Section
IV, The University Senate (University System) to read:

The ex officio membership shall include the President, all
Vice Presidents, all Deans, the Director of the Libraries, the
Professor of Military Science and the Professor of Air Science
who shall enjoy all the privileges of the elected membership
including the right to vote.

Other ex officio members shall include the chairman of the
several standing University Senate committees, including Senate
Advisory Committees, if not already members of the Senate and
other persons whom the University Senate Council may add 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 stated that this recommendation was being presented to move
to the point of returning the vote to the administrators so that this
body becomes tripartite rather than bipartite.

   
 
  
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
  

 

  

 The Senate approved the motion as presented by Dr. Ogletree.

The Senate approved a motion to adjourn at 4:20 p.m.

UK FACULTY APPROVES PLAN THAT WOULD GIVE
STUDENTS GREATER VOICE IN ACADEMIC AFFAIRS

The University of Kentucky faculty has approved a plan that would give
students a greater voice in decisions on academic affairs. The plan must be
approved by UK President Otis A. Singletary and by the UK Board of Trustees
before it would be effective.

By a vote of 99-59, the UK senate voted Monday to accept a majority report
that had been submitted in November. The move would place no students in the
senate as voting members. There now are five students serving in the senate.

The change would bring the senate voting membership to 200. Of that numben
160 would be faculty members and #0 would be students.

A two hour discussion of the proposed change of governing regulations saw
some six or seven UK educators speaking against the report. The opponents'
collective opinion seemed to have been summed up by one professor who said,
”This will give people who have no degree a voice in making decisions about the
requirements for a degree, among other things."

Proponents of the majority report dismissed the argument and other objec—
tions as constituting an "imaginary fear syndrome“ that students would somehow
take over the running of the University. They also reminded opponents of the
report that the numerical count would be four-to—one in favor of the faculty if
a document divided sentiment into bloc voting.

The meeting was moved from its usual site in the College of Law courtroom
to a classroom on the first floor of the Chemistry-Physics Building. The pro-

ceedings were telecast into two adjoining rooms where an overflow of student
Spectators watched on closed circuit television.

 Student members of the faculty would be apportioned on the basis of one
for each of the lb colleges and one from the graduate school. The 25 others
would be apportioned among the colleges or schools on the basis of the relative
student populations of those colleges for the school year in which student
membership elections were held.

Student senate membership elections would be conducted during the second
semester by Stude
