Faculty on panel back grade board
Staff Reporter
By JENNY BARKER Staff Reporter
Friday morning, March 23, 1984
Faculty members of the University Council yesterday expressed widespread support for a grade appeal board at the University of Kansas, which has been approved by the board has in its past drawn fire from instructors.
"I had thought there might be significant faculty opposition, but there certainly doesn't seem to be any on University Council," Carothers said. "It seemed to be getting strong support, but we have colleagues who are very apprehensive."
James Carothers, chairman of the University
senate Executive Committee, said he was
surpassed by Mr. Browder's experience.
CAROTHERS SAID some instructors were worried that many students might unnecessarily appeal grades if students had access to an appeals board, while other instructors objected
because an appeals board would take away their exclusive right to change grades.
He said that because of the favorable response, SenEx would probably send a grade appeals proposal to the Council for consideration at its April 5 meeting. Yesterday, the Council considered only the idea of creating a grade appeals board, not a specific proposal.
The proposal for a grade appeals board now before SenEx would create a board of four faculty members and two students that could order a grade change. Under current policy, only an instructor can change a grade, unless he has died, has been incapacitated, or has been found guilty of sexual harassment or academic misconduct.
SOME FEARS OF THE faculty as to the amount of complaints a grade appeals board would cause are apparently unfounded, Carothers said. William Balfour, KU embudsman, has told SenEx that in the last 1½ years he had
heard only three or four complaints that would need to go before the board described in the proposal.
The proposed appeals board would hear grade complaints only after students had sought grade changes from their course instructors and the chairmen of the department in which the courses were offered. Even then, the board would hear only complaints that they occurred because the students allegedly failed to adhere to the grading policy that they established at the beginning of the semester.
Charles Kahn, a professor of architecture and urban design and a Council member, said, "It's a very narrow definition of when an appeal can be issued."
ALLAN HANSON, a professor of anthropology and a council member, said, "If we don't accept it, we're saying an instructor can lay out very explicit guidelines at the beginning of the semester and then arbitrarily change them when
Carothers he said he was puzzled by the close vote because few at the meeting spoke in favor of it.
assigning a grade. It seems to me that to not accept the policy is strange."
"I would be surprised if anyone who favored that change would have voted to table it, but we did not hear often or extensively from them." Carothers said.
The council also voted 16-15 to table a proposal that would allow research at KU to remain classified for longer than the one-year limit set by current KU policy.
He said he doubted that the classified research proposal,would be approved this semester.
ED MEYEN, acting KU vice chancellor for research, graduate studies and public service, told Council members that the proposal would not free faculty to begin classified government contracts but would allow them more flexibility to do classified research for private interests.
