University Senate delays policy review
By JOEL THORNTON Staff Reporter
The University Senate cannot reconsider an approved policy for program discontinuance today because formal notification to faculty about the proposed action was not received by chairman of the University Senate Executive Committee said yesterday.
James Carothers, SenEx chairman,
said that he and other SenEx members
had reviewed the Senate Code and had
recommended that no action could be
taken today.
The KU chapter of the American
Association of University Professors submitted petitions to the SenEx office yesterday, asking that the program discontinuance policy, which was approved by University Council April 14, be out to a faculty vote.
THE POLICY PROVIDES KU administrators with guidelines if they decide to discontinue any academic programs.
Opponents of the measure have said that the new policy would allow the University to cut academic programs without having to pay for courses that was previously required to lay off tenured faculty members.
Financial exigency is said to occur when the University is so low on funds that it must lay off faculty.
Supporters of the measure, including Carothers, have said that the policy gave KU faculty the best protection against layoffs.
Evelyn Swartz, president of the KU chapter of the AAUP, said the petitions for a faculty vote had more than the 50 signatures needed to bring them before University Senate and more than the 100 signatures needed for a faculty mail ballot.
THE PETTITS CAN BE discussed at today's SenEx meeting, but no action
can be taken on them until the notification is provided.
T. P.: Srinivasan, professor of mathematics and an opponent of the policy, said that bringing it before the University Senate was a formality because it was unlikely that a quorum would be present.
"Essentially, what it amounts to is that the proposed policy will now go back to the faculty for a direct vote," he said.
However, he said, he is concerned that some faculty may leave Lawrence for the summer before they receive their ballots.
The deadline for applications for those interested in serving on the Lawrence City Commission to replace Commissioner Barkley Clark is 5 p.m.
Clark will resign after next Tuesday's commission meeting, leaving the remaining four commissioners the task of leading them to serve the two years left in his term.
Panel to select commissioner
The commission has said that people interested in nominating someone for the position should send a letter of application listing the nominee's qualifications and a signed statement by the nominee saying that he is willing to serve.
The list of candidates will not be
released until after tomorrow's deadline.
the commission will choose Clark's replacement after interviewing the list of applicants.
The commission has set study sessions for Saturday afternoon and Monday morning to interview candidates.
If the interviews are not completed Monday the commission will continue interviewing candidates next Thursday.
in case of a 2.2 deadlock for Clark's successor the city attorney would cast the deciding vote.
