AAUP Rebukes Loyalty Promise
The KU chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) last Friday approved a resolution disapproving the amendment to the "disclaimer" section of the National Defense Education Act (NDEA).
When You're In Doubt, Try It Out—Kansan Classified
THE PRESENT Public Law, amended in 1962, leaves criminal record and subversive group membership to the consideration of the commission for making grants.
THE RESOLUTION ratified here will be transmitted to the executive committee of AAUP and in turn to Kansas Congressmen.
When the NDEA Act was passed in 1958 it required students to swear they had never belonged to organizations deemed subversive by the NDEA administrative committee.
The KU chapter suggested an addition to the protest resolution, calling attention to the stipulations requiring a list of criminal convictions (above minor traffic violations) and "subversive" organization membership of students applying for NDEA grants.
The disclaimer clause section has often been referred to as the loyalty oath clause. It was amended in 1962
Students with past records or crime or membership in groups objectionable to the government are not necessarily excluded from receiving grants.
"It is the feeling of our chapter that these stipulations are unfair to students when many other grants require no such information," said Harold Krogh, professor of business administration.
"A man of his time - aware, critical and deeply committed. But most of all, he's just plain funny."
