Faculty 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 would be made in early June.
James Carothers, chairman of the University
James Carothers, said he was sur-
sumed by the show of screenplay.
Friday morning, March 23, 1984
"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."
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. Carr said that the school 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 complaints against the department instructors 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
assigning a grade. It seems to me that to not accept the policy is strange."
Carothers said he was puzzled by the close vote because few at the meeting spoke in favor of it.
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.

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.

The Student Senate Finance Committee last night reconsidered, and then tabled, a motion that would require student organizations to send their staff members to the committee would consider financing them.
The committee passed the original motion Wednesday after a committee member requested a membership list from the Gay and Lesbian Services of Kansas.

I can't tell him for that. He gets paid to State Sen. Tom Rehorn, D-Kansas City), said that Hart had his priorities well in ord that one.
Rehorm will well have hit on the answer he said. "I'm not going to kid anybody. Ka isn't the hottest state in the nation. I'm not g to impose my ego on him."
Mike Swenson, press secretary for Gov. J Carlin, said, "A state like Kansas that has I say in a nomination or national election trouble attracting candidates. That's und standable. They're campaigning where people are."
But Hart is a hometown boy made good, 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.
"We're proud to claim he grew up here, b Colorado can more realistically claim him as favorite son."

Maybe Kansas just isn't important Democratic presidential candidates. After the state has always been staunchly Republican, Republicans would be happy to see all Landon ran for president in 1936.
