Student faculty committee report
(Continued from page 8)
C. School and Departmental Level
Believing that issues of general concern to students are as likely to arise on the school and departmental levels as on the University level, the Committee recommends that the faculties of schools and departments should during this academic year, and in consultation with students, consider appropriate methods by which students may participate in the formulation of policies and decisions. The Committee believes that within each school there should be some committee which is charged with the function of an ombudsman i.e., a committee to receive, to evaluate, and where appropriate, to act upon complaints of students and faculty in that school on matters touching classroom procedures, grading practices, curricular, and other academic and administrative matters.
In general, the Committee believes that there should be more student-faculty committees in departments, as well as at other levels of university operations.
D. The University and Society
The Committee also recommends that the role of the University in society—specifically, the extent of its social responsibility and of the leadership it should seek to assume—be considered by an existing committee of the University Senate or the Senate Council, or if more appropriate by an ad hoc committee created for this purpose. The Committee urges that such a committee be established without delay. (Relevant to this general recommendation are the specific suggestions in that part of the "Dissenting Report" entitled "Redirection of the University's Social Responsibilities," which the subscribers to the majority report would consider supplementary rather than dissenting, since the Committee did
not have the opportunity to consider such matters.)
The Committee recommends, in particular, that the Human Relations Committee include in its charges communication between the committee and the community of Lawrence, with special consideration given to the people of the black community.
E. Academic Misconduct
The Committee recommends that the Senate Executive Committee investigate as expeditiously as possible the establishment of a Committee on Academic Misconduct. The basic responsibilities of this committee would be those of adjudication and censure in cases involving acts committed by members of the faculty or members of the student body which tend to vitiate the purposes of the university. Among such acts would be academic dishonesty, gross misconduct in class, and flagrant negligence in the discharge of teaching duties.
Since the University Governance Committee could not, in the time available to it, attempt to prescribe such things as the composition of the proposed committee, its scope, or the precise nature of the censures to be meted, we recommend that Senex appoint an ad hoc group to consider carefully the need for such a committee, the charge to be assigned to it, and how it could best discharge its duties.
4. Implementation of Specific Recommendations
The specific recommendations of the Committee can be implemented by the enactment of the SENATE CODE attached to this report as Appendix III. Enactment will require a two-thirds vote of the membership of the present Senate Council; a majority vote of the members present and voting at a subsequent meeting of the present University
Senate; a two-thirds vote of the membership of the present All Student Council; and a majority vote of the students voting at a subsequent all-University election.
Interim steps which would be taken to make such enactment effective as soon as possible are to be found in Article XIV, Section 3. of Appendix III.
CONCLUSION
The principle of student participation in university government was an established fact at KU well in advance of the efforts of this Committee. Indeed, we were fortunate to have a strong base of student involvement upon which to build. In a sense, this report represents no more than a logical, though unique, extension of existing intra-university relations germane to the governance of our university.
These recommendations must stand the test of time. Even with more time, the committee could not have conceived in advance precisely what new ideas would be most workable or acceptable to the total university community. Experience with dictate whether certain recommendations shall eventually be modified, however appropriate such ideas may appear at present.
Thus, we propose an experiment in university relations. The plan has the appeal of being tailored to the situation. The principles embodied in this venture will not come to life, however, without the exercise of good faith, patience, and integrity that are implicit in the design of any cooperative plan.
