Regents to discuss tenure
A proposed addition to the Kansas Board of Regents tenure policy statement is one of the chief items on the Regents agenda this afternoon.
The Regents are meeting today and tomorrow in the Kansas Union.
The additional phrase would allow an institution and its new employees to agree on probabilistic service of up to seven employees in experience the employee may have had.
The policy would be contingent on employer-employee agreement at the time of hiring.
Prior service at other universities or colleges now counts toward the seven years that full-time instructors and professors at KU must work to earn tenure.
THE PROPOSED addition, which was recommended last fall to the heads of the seven Regents schools, has since been criticized by several sources, including the
KU chapter of the American Association of University Professors.
The AAUP said the policy could put new instructors at a disadvantage by requiring them to negotiate their probation period if they were not in a good position to do so.
Final plans for the Watson Library renovation, a $10,000 request for a student information center and an additional classroom on Ellsworth Hall also will be discussed.
Chancellor Archie R. Dykes will request approval of the final plans for the Watson Library renovation.
The Regents director of architectural services will be asked to review the plans, and the director of purchasing then will take construction bids.
Dykes also will request that fiscal year 1980 renovation and improvement projects for the KU residence hall system be furnished in $10,000 or a new student information center.
THE MONEY for the new center, tentatively to be built near the corner of 15th and Iowa streets, would come from housing funds.
Dykes will request that the replacement of the Ellsworth Hall roof be added to the list of residence hall renovation projects.
The cost, estimated at $9,000 to $8,500,
would be paid from the Ellsworth Dormitory Repair and Replacement Reserve fund.
Margaret Berlin, student body president, said she would meet with the Regents this morning as a member of the Student Advisory Committee.
The committee comprises the student body leaders of all Regents schools.
in said the committee would complete an amendment to the Regents policy manual regarding political advertising in closed campus areas.
The amendment strengthens the definition of terms used in the present policy, she said.
Employees expand picket line to Stokely plant in Minnesota
Teamsters Local Union 696 last weekend
十 employee of Stokley Van-Camp,
Stokley, Fairmont,
Fairmont, Minn., Stokley plant. The
180 members of local 487 in Fairmont have
died from 487 in Fairmont.
Since Monday, local 487 has not crossed the picket line.
A 24-hour picket line went up in Lawrence Jan. 11 because of a lockout of Stokley employees Dec. 21. The plant was closed after contract negotiations failed.
BILL MOORE, business agent for local 696, said the Fairmont community supported the Lawrence union members who went there.
Hugh Malchewsky, chairman of the Stokely Workers' Emergency Aid team, said Fairmont was a strong union town.
"They really have a strong union. They are behind us," he said.
Malcheksy said the Stokely union members had received food, cab service around town, and warm reception from union members in Fairmont.
"The union in Fairmont has been quite supportive," he said. "They have opened their homes and their hearts to us."
Robert Cochrane, director of employee relations at Stokely headquarters in Indianapolis, said Minnesota employees would not be penalized for honoring the Lawrence picket because a contract with them that they could refuse to cross picket lines.
Cochrane had said earlier this week that the "lockout was over" for the estimated three to four Lawrence employees who had returned to work Monday.
THE EMPLOYEES RETURNED to work in response to a letter from Stokley that offered some employees work in maintenance repairs.
The letter said their wages would be increased by 50 cents an hour, the same offer that has been rejected twice by Stokely employees since Dec. 21.
The 205 employees refused to accept Stokley's contract offer because they contended that the wage increase would not meet the rising cost of living.
Lawrence picket lines also have formed at Stokely headquarters.
Moore said that the Teamsters threw honored the picket.
Sokely employees now are considering extending a picket to Wisconsin, Malchessky said.
