Council OKs recommendations
By Dan England
Kansan staff writer
University Council gave its stamp of approval yesterday to a proposal by University Senate Executive Committee that two of three restructuring recommendations not be implemented.
SenEx's proposal was passed on to Council after a year-long program review, including a University-wide study that produced the recommendations and subsequent public hearings that allowed for public comment on those recommendations.
SenEX's recommendations, which were made public yesterday, will go to David Shulenburger, acting vice chancellor for academic affairs, for consideration.
SenEx did not approve the proposed merger of the department of computer science and the department of electrical and computer engineering. But the committee did make suggestions for the school, which will stay in the College of Liberal Arts and Science.
SenEx suggested that an advisory board remain in place to provide leadership to the department of computer science, that computer science faculty be expanded, and that joint appointments between the departments of computer science and electrical and computer engineering be encouraged.
But SenEx's action — and Council's subsequent approval — did not alleviate concerns about the program's future, which still is questioned by some faculty members.
"Io leave a program hanging like this damages the morale of the people in the program," said T.P. Srinivasan, professor of mathematics.
Earl Schweppe, professor of computer science, said his department was concerned about any more review of the program by the University.
"We have operated under uncertainty for a long time." Schwenpe said.
SenEx's decision not to recommend the University's
Program review moves on
University Council approved yesterday the following proposals from University Senate Executive Committee:
A recommendation advocating the transfer of the department of art and music education and music therapy from the School of Education to the School of Fine Arts.
A recommendation against merging the department of counseling psychology with the department of educational psychology and research.
A recommendation against merging the department of computer science with the department of computer and electrical engineering.
proposed merger of the department of educational psychology and research with the department of counseling psychology matched that of the committee at the public hearing. In its report, the hearing committee listed six advantages and 12 disadvantages.
"The general overall sense was that the rationale and goals for this current proposal were not clear and did not justify the merger," the report said.
The decision not to merge the programs passed Council with no objection.
SenEx did endorse the University's proposed transfer of the department of art and music education and music therapy from the School of Education to the School of Fine Arts. The merger proposal passed Council with no objection.
In other business;
Nancy Dahl, SenEx chairperson, protested the way the University handled the cancellation of classes following the Final Four basketball game. In a letter that will be sent to Chancellor Gene Budig, she states that public announcements should have been made earlier and that closing academic classes in honor of athletic events was questionable.
University's plans for cultural center raise questions
Story continued from Page 1.
Thompson said he did not agree with what had happened at North Carolina.
"I'm sure Jordan had good intentions, but it really had an opposite effect, and the students have become polarized," he said. "What you have there is a center that will be of very high quality funded by Michael Jordan and a center for everyone else that has to make do with school funds."
Thompson said he thought KU's proposed center would not have the same problems as the one at North Carolina because of the efforts of campus student groups.
"Black Men of Today really pushed for the center, and they got several other groups involved," he said. "It's an idea that's been around for quite some time, and the students have been asking for it."
The KU center will receive $10,000 from both Student Senate and the Office of Student Affairs. It will also receive equipment, office supplies and a graduate assistant from student affairs. Thompson said additional money would come from the University.
