University Governance to examine tuition, new relationships policy
By Christoph Fuhrmans Kansan staff writer
The effects of the new University consensual relationship policy, which went into effect Friday, will be a hot topic for University Governance
Governance, which consists of University Senate, University Council and the Senate Executive Committee, begins a new semester when University Council meets for the first time Thursday.
The relationship policy does not prohibit relationships between faculty and students but tries to eliminate the conflict of interest within the relationship.
"That's really the intent of the policy," said Robert Friauf, who is the head of University Council.
Discussions on the policy will continue at the next meeting Thursday.
University Governance also will focus on tuition increases, the program discontinuance hearings, the revision of the faculty handbook and the recommendations of the Tenure and Related Problems committee for dismissal hearings.
The tuition increase for the 1994 school year would be 9 percent for resident undergraduates and 13 percent for nonresident undergraduates Part of the increase would pay for faculty salary increases.
Friauf said that the tuition increase would benefit students in the long run.
"This is a plan which will allow the increase in tuition to go directly to the University." he said.
The program discontinuance hearings will resume this semester with four programs to be examined. The academic degrees that may be discontinued are a master's degree in atmospheric science and bachelor of arts degrees in Italian, comparative literature and humanities.
The open discontinuance hearings will be conducted at the end of September by the Committee on Academic Procedures and Policies of University Council.
"The purpose is to allow faculty and students to provide information and express their opinions," Friauf said.
After the committee finishes the hearings it will submit a report to University Council. The council then will present its recommendations to David Shulenburger, vice chancellor for academic affairs.
"The discontinuance hearings will occupy a good part of the fall semester," said T.P. Srinivasan, who
beads the University Senate Executive Committee.
Srinivasan also is concerned with other issues for Governance.
"The faculty handbook revision needs to be followed up aggressively early in the fall," he said.
The last revision of the handbook was about four years ago.
Srinivasan said that the handbook must provide explicit explanations of some of the provisions of the faculty codes and provide an explanation for both faculty and students so there would not be any misinterpretations.
"That is the bible for the faculty." he said.
The other main issue affecting faculty this semester will be Governance's examination of the recommendations of the Tenure and Related Problems committee for future faculty dismissal cases.
the tenure committee oversaw the hearings for former law school professor Emil Tonkovich.
Srinivasan said that University Governance needed to sharpen the hearing procedures, eliminate the negative fallout for both the victim and accused and make the reasons for dismissal clearer.
Examination of committee recommendations will begin early this fall.
