SenEx Clarifies Exigency
Kansan Staff Reporter
By DAVE BURPEE
Financial exigency should be defined in procedural terms instead of as a set of fixed criteria, according to a report submitted by the Senate. Senate Executive Committee (SenEx).
Robert Adams, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and chairman of the SenEx committee on financial exigency, submitted the report. He said the report also was being sent to the faculty.
The report defines financial exigency as the fiscal situation in which the University is unable to meet its mission and goals without eliminating the position of one or more tenured members of the university.
The definition, the report said, should be viewed as a procedure.
Temurred faculty can be dismissed only after the chancellor and SenEx have written a statement that the financial condition of a University unit can no longer support temurred faculty members and that there is no other opportunity to but to dismiss them, the report said.
Throughout the process, the report said, the affected faculty members are to be informed and "the full protection of in-forested freedom and due process are guaranteed."
"Termination of tenured faculty under financial exigency is in the form of layoff, with at least one year's notice, with specified rights of the individual assured. A variety of practices, such as optional early retirement, early tenure and an extended leave, are available as methods to amortize the effects of financial exigency," the report said.
The report said that the basic assumptions made in the study were that financial exigency needed to be formally declared before terminating any tenured faculty for a particular degree. Financial and financial exigency could be declared in unit one without being declared in all units.
One section of the report considers preventive planning recommendations that should be implemented as soon as possible. The recommendations include seeking a more favorable ratio between the number of full-time equivalent students and the number of teaching positions authorized. Steps would be taken to "preserve and
The report also recommends that all nontoureted faculty be released before any tenured faculty member is laid off or dismissed.
enrichance the academic quality of the University," informing public officials of the quality of University achievements and institutions; and providing peer review of the faculty.
The report also said that "any attempt to prevent or mitigate the occurrence of financial exigency should always include careful consideration of the needs and resources required and be affected by the resultant change in the University's structure and procedures."

Another section of the report discusses program considerations to implement the changes described above.
Adams said the committee would hold an open hearing on the report at 8 a.m., April 18. The committee will meet at 7 p.m.
The considerations include guarding against a growth of the ratio of administrators to faculty, reducing and combining programs instead of eliminating them, considering as many factors as possible in the internal reallocation of resources.
