Facultv on panel back grade board
By JENNY BARKER Staff Reporter
Faculty members of the University Council yesterday expressed widespread support for a grade appeals board at the University of Kansas, although a proposal for creating such a board was not approved.
Friday morning, March 23, 1984
James Carothers, chairman of the University Senate Executive Committee, said he was SHOPPING.
"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."
CAROTHIERS 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.
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.
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.
SOME FEARS OF THE faculty as to the amount of complaints a grade appeals board would cause are apparently unfounded. Carrie O'Neill, who was a professor at Stanford 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 chairman of the department in which the courses were offered. Even then, the board would hear only complaints that came about because the students did not answer 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 said he was puzzled by the close vote because few at the meeting spoke in favor of him.
assigning a grade. It seems to me that to not accept the policy is strange."
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.
"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.
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.

Mike Swenson, press secretary for Gov. J. Carlin, said, "A state like Kansas that has I say in a nomination or national election I trouble attracting candidates. That's und standable. They're campaigning where people are."

But Hart is a hometown boy made good, favorite boy.
"We're proud to claim he grew up here, b Colorado can more realistically claim him as favorite son."
"A lot has been made of the fact that Kansas Senator Hart's home state," Swenson said, "b' it's also accurate that he hasn't lived here f some time.

Tenants may also have a problem. Woekl said, if they sign a lease that runs through the summer and plan to leave at the end of the spring semester and sublease the apartment in July and August.
OUTLOOK
"Realize that whatever the landlord may say, it's hard to sublease a place," she said. "It's very hard to sublease in summer in Lawrence."
Repairs can cause trouble
Tenants usually have two types of problems with repairs, Chapman said, involving either cosmetic changes to the apartment or repairs necessary to make the dwelling meet city housing and building codes.
Tenants should usually not paint walls or make other cosmetic changes to an apartment without the landlord's permission. Otherwise, the landlord could sue for damages, even for holes left in a wall from hanging a painting.
Although a landlord would not have to make decorative improvements to the apartment that the tenant requested, Chairman said, the landlord must maintain the apartment in compliance with city codes that affect health and safety.
If the landlord fails to keep the building up to code, the tenant can file a complaint with the city housing inspector or the Consumer Affairs Association.
Wreck said that students had often filed complaints with her office because landlords had not kept oral agreements about improvements or repairs. She said that all such agreements should be written into the lease.
The city housing inspector usually allows the landlord two weeks to correct
