Friday, April 25, 1980 7 Faculty Council to explore Forer suspension University Daily Kansan BY TERESA RIORDAN Staff Reporter Five months after Norman Forer's suspension, Faculty Council will start an investigation into whether the admission violated due process in the incident. In its meeting yesterday, the council voted to charge the Tenure and Related Problems Committee with investigating whether due process was followed when tenure was associated professor of social welfare, was suspended without pay last December. The council also approved changes in the Faculty Code of Conduct handbook to be provided by the KU chapter, proposed by the KU chapter of the Association of American University. THE HANDBOOK changes are all subject to the approval of Chancellor Archie R. Dykes. When considering the handbook changes, the Faculty executive committee requested but never received a timetable of events leading to Foer's suspension from Dykes. FacEx had decided last Friday to address the procedures followed in the Forer case, and to bring up the case in council. George Worth, a FaceEx member, said that the council decided it was far more important to "fix up the procedures than toake over old coals" in the Foer case. However, members of the faculty in Faculty Council decided yesterday that there was enough evidence in the case for an investigation. by the administration," Robert Shelton, a council member said. "A printed order of conduct was violated He was referring to the handbook code, which states that no disciplinary sanctions may be imposed upon a faculty member if he fails to attend against him and an opportunity for a hearing. "WE ARE REFUSING to stand and tell the administration that they violated a faculty member's rights." Shelton said. In University Council yesterday, a proposal that gives students an extra week to drop classes without receiving a W on admission has been moved and forwarded to the administration. The proposal, a report from the Committee on Academic Policies and Procedures, increases the initial drop period from four weeks to five. time for University withdrawal policies, divides the semester into three segments of five weeks each. The report, which establishes a uniform Steve Cramer, a student representative on the council, said that the real problems of students weren't addressed in the report. "The time problem is never the real crux of the withdrawal process; the problem is in the procedures themselves." Cramer said. IT RECOMMENDS THAT the first segment be a University-wide "free drop period" and that each school develop its own policies for the other two periods. "The question is whether students should have this restrictive withdrawal policy imposed upon them at all," he said. The council also discussed a recommendation that requires instructors to file down slips for all freshmen and sophomores who have Ds or Fs by the eighth week of class. THE REPORT, which includes five more recommendations, will be distributed to faculty members for comments. The recommendation of down slips, which is also included in a report from the chancellor's Recruitment and Retention Committee, requires that the slips be filled with the appropriate school or department staff. Other recommendations of the report include: absence slips for students excessively absent in freshmen and sophomore classes; making high school transcripts of freshmen and sophomores available to instructors; an adoption of a University pre-enrollment system at the earliest possible date. Big 8 seeks new commissioner The chairman of the Big Eight Search Committee, William Baughn, said yesterday that the committee would select a new commissioner by May 17. Baughn, who is also dean of the graduate School of Business at the University of Colorado, said the five members of the board agreed not to release any information. After the committee has selected potential commissioners, Big Eight faculty representatives will vote on the candidates chosen. Bauhn said the athletic directors of Big Eight schools would have a major impact on the selection because they would be working closely with the commissioner.
