KU Students Fight . . .
(Continued from page 1)
kinesiology are now circulating a petition to present to Chancellor Raymond Nichols.
"This denial of tenure was based upon an administrative decision to reduce the number of tenured faculty," the petition says, and "the decision is totally unrelated to the ability of Professor Jones in areas related to physics." The author standing teaching ability in the difficult subjects of kinesiology and in areas related to physical disabilities.
"To deny tenure to Professor Jones is to deny us, future professional occupational therapies, the benefit of her professional experience, competence and faculty leadership.
Jones was a victim of what Nichols described in his State of the University address as "the danger of becoming tenured in."
Presently, 67 to 70 per cent of KU's faculty are tenured, according to Ambrose Saricks, vice chancellor of academic affairs and chairman of the University Committee on
Promotions and Tenure. Saricks said that most University studies on the issue of tenure recommended a level of tenured faculty no higher than 66 per cent.
"When the percentage goes higher than this, a university becomes unable to introduce necessary new blood into the system," he said. "Then the University is tertured in."
Saricks said there were several factors that would make it increasingly hard for faculty to gain tenure. A tightening of the academic job market and the absence of an equitable early retirement plan were burrowed as the two most important factors.
As enrollments level off and the number of teaching positions levels off accordingly, Sarikis said, teachers tend to remain where they are now. But the problem of too many tenured faculty.
Saricks also said that since the KU faculty retirement program was based on age 70 another problem was created. Since most faculty members want to receive full
retirement benefits, they teach until age 70. This late age retirement plan leaves less room for new faculty members to join the staff.
Guidelines for determining who might be nominated for tenure are provided by the American Association of University Professors, of which KU has a chapter.
The criteria for receiving tenure are matching performance, research activity and experience.
Recommendations for tenure are made by schools and departments to the Committee on Promotions and Tenure consisting of ten KU faculty members and Saricks. They are made at the end of a faculty member's sixth year of teaching at KU.
Once the award of tenure is made,
it ensures the faculty member of a formal
degree in education.
According to Grant Goodman, president of the KU chapter of the AAPU, the burden of proof in such a hearing would lie with the institution.
Marie Galanti, Lansing graduate student; Chris黛雯 Jane, Leawood sophomore; Tim Rake, Overland Park senior; Linda Barra, Wesleyville junior; Christina Kapeen, Des Plains, III, junior.
Reasons for removal of a tuned person would be moral terpitude or utter intolerance.
An assault charge against Hillel Unz, University of Kansas professor of electrical engineering, was dismissed Thursday from Douglas County Court for lack of cause.
Assault Charge Is Dismissed
Fourteen University of Kansas students were in charge of the Delta Phi, Delta Phi and French honor society.
Society Initiates Members
The charge was filed by Hassan Razaghi Khamias, KU graduate student, in connection with an alleged incident during the graduation ceremony. In a statement to the press, Unz said, "The unanimous resolution adopted by the International Club on April 26 in support of Mr. Rhamsi's allegations reflects badly on the integrity of its officers and members."
the new Pi Delta Phi members are Genevieve韦利, Fort Leavenworth graduate student; Jannane Hewett, Scott junior; Katherine Beer, Lawrence graduate student; Laura Downer, Lawrence graduate student; Laura Heller, Lawrence graduate student.
The final decision as to who receives tenure is made by the chancellor, according to Saricks. The chancellor can deny or approve tenure for those who are recommended to him by the Committee on Promotions and Tenure.
Khamsi said that if indeed the case had been dismissed, he was astonished.
Rick Malisck, Kansas City, Mo., senior; Karen Johnson, Sidney, Neb., junior; Kathy Panehanel, Cleveland, Ohio, graduate; Eric Vaugh, Wickliffe, Ohio, graduate student.
"I am consulting my lawyers about further legal recourse in the matter."
Goodman, who has been at KU since 1962, could not remember any termmed faculty at KU.
"This was a criminal act," Khamsi said,
(he said) that Unz had openly admitted to
the court.
