Faculty question tenure report
KU faculty, administrators and a Board of Regents staff member last night to discuss a recent Regents report concerning post-temer review
Bv Karen Park
Kansan staff writer
About 30 people attended the panel discussion in which faculty members expressed concerns about possible motives behind the tenure report.
Martine Hammond-Paludan, director of academic affairs for the Regents, told faculty members that Regent Don Slawson had requested the staff report because of articles he had read about five-year post-tenure review programs that had been established at other universities.
"The faculty seems puzzled by a Regent's intent for requesting the report," she said.
Hammond-Paludan said the Regents had to answer questions from the Legislature about the quality of faculty at the Regents institutions.
The Regents are trying to persuade the Legislature to finance the third year of the Margin of Excellence and are requesting qualified admissions, she said. But the Legislature is asking whether tenure review systems at the universities are working. Reginald Robinson, associate professor of law, said the purpose of tenure was to ensure that a faculty member would not be fired because of controversial beliefs or research.
He said that many people outside the University had the perception that once faculty members obtained tenure they became lazy.
Robinson said that for the most part the perception was incorrect. However, if a tenured individual had ignored his duties, the University would have failed to meet its problem and would follow its guidelines to correct the situation.
Post-tenure review every five years would place an unnecessary burden on departments, Robinson said.
Each year, KU faculty members are evaluated for merit raises. Many faculty members think that an add-in five-year evaluation is unnecessary.
Dr Blinkman, vice chairwoman for academic affairs, said the Regents were faced with the job of explaining why we were the quality of higher education.
"They are concerned about efficiency and accountability," he said. He said the concern about the
quality of faculty at universities should not be feared by faculty.
"We should take this as an opportunity to explain and inform the people without the background how we will tenure review," Brinkman said.
Margaret Bayer, associate professor of mathematics, said the Regents should focus on enhancing faculty productivity instead of reviewing a faculty member and concluding that the member was unproductive.
"I can't believe unproductive faculty members want to be unproductive," she said. "What should be discussed is what can be done by the individual and the University to increase productivity."
"We are not the most effective, efficient or sensitive people to explain what we do," he said. "We need the Board of Regents to help us."
Felix Moos, professor of anthropology, said he completed a 13-page annual merit review and did not see any need for faculty members to further explain their accomplishments.
Hammond-Paludan said, "The Regents want to be advocates of the universities, but they are not sure about the answers."
Fraternity finds burning cross in front yard
Kansan staff report
is in the city's jurisdiction.
A large wooden burning cross was found lying in the front yard of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, 1301 St. Paul's University about a 4 a.m. KU police report.
A typed note stuck in the ground with a plastic spatula accompanied the cross, said Chris Mulvenon, Lawrence police spokesperson. After KU police put out the fire, Lawrence police were called because the house
Mulvenon the note referred to White people being racist. The police have no suspices in the case. The Lawrence Fire Department is trying to determine how the cross was set on fire.
Bryce Petty, SAE president, said he thought the lengthy note's ultima message was that the SAE大使 wrote it in a way as an example of campus racism.
"I think because of last semester's incident that our house has gotten a lot of attention." Petty said. "That's the easiest way to get their stunt noticed."
Petty said fraternity members had handled the incident calmly.
"It's obviously getting a little old to some of the members in the house, but I guess we learned from last year's announcement to roll with the punches," Petty said.
