Philosophy professor fills in as honors program director
By Tatsuva Shimizu
Kansan staff writer
J. Michael Young, professor of philosophy, has been busy this fall as acting director of the honors program in the College of Liberal Arts.
Young replaced Sharon Brehm after she left the University this summer to take a dean's position at University of New York at Binghamton.
James Mayskens, dean of the college, said Young would fill the position until a permanent director was selected.
Muyksens said that Young had been involved in undergraduate programs for many years.
"He knows the needs and interests of undergraduate students." he said.
Young also teaches honors tutor
ials, which provide honor students
with opportunities to meet faculty
members and discuss with them
various topics. He also is involved in
the scholarship nomination process.
He has plans for the honors program, he said. One of them is to integrate some courses and make packages of two to three classes. In
those classes, teachers or reading materials could be exchanged.
He said that another plan was to organize groups of honors students and organize curricula so that they could take many classes together
Young came to KU in 1969 after he had earned a doctorate's degree in philosophy at Yale University. He said he chose KU because it had good maths and because he also would be able to teach undergraduate students.
You said that he loved teaching.
Even in the introductory philosophy class, he treats students as his colleagues, he said.
"I can learn from them as well as they can learn from me." he said.
Four administrators meet with GLSOK
Explaining philosophy to students who have never studied it is challenging and interesting for him, he said.
Philosophy is complicated and has no single answer, he said.
Compared to 20 years ago, students have more interest in a career these days, he said. They come to the University to prepare for future jobs.
Group's members present list of goals for a more hospitable KU environment
By Monica Mendoza
Kansan staff writer
Last night, four KU administrators sat down with members of Gay and Lesbian Services of Kansas in an attempt to outline a plan of action that would meet student concerns about discrimination on campus.
Del Shankel, interim executive vice chancellor, and three other KU administrators attended the GLSOK meeting in response to a protest Tuesday at Chancellor Gene A. Budie's home.
Sanktel told the group, which met at the Pioneer Room in the Burge Union, that the University intended to homosexual student concerns.
"But there is a difference in opinion about what is the best way to bring about a change." Shankel said.
bring books a change. Sahal said.
He said he was not trying to quiet
the group, but instead was attempt-
ing to discuss a plan of action.
“it's conceivable that it may take one, two or three years before we get the federal government to change their policy,” Shankel said.
Members of GLSOK presente, Shankel with a list of goals for a more hospitable environment at the KU campus.
Christopher Craig, GLSOK peer adviser, said he wanted the administration to take the discussion a step further. He said that setting a time frame for achieving the goals would be difficult and, he added, Shankel to discuss the list of goals with other administrators and contact GLSOK members in 30 days.
Liz Tolbert, GLSOK member, said she was tired of hearing how concerned the administrators were. She wants to see action.
Tobert said the University was more interested in protecting itself and not hurting the ROTC program by hurting the gay and lesbian students.
Craig said he didn't believe the University shared the same goals as GLSOK. He said that he was tired of committees that were not taking action and that he was tired of trying to get support from legislators.
Shankel said that the administrators shared the goals of homosexual students.
Shankel said he was aware of the state legislators' response to homosexual concerns.
"But I don't believe the issue dies there," he said.
Shenkel and Frances Ingemann,
Senate Executive Committee chairperson,
will be attending a conference next month in Washington, D.C.
conference specifically will address the issue of being treated at other universities.
Shankel said a University Council at the national level would try to persuade the Department of Defense to change its policy.
Tolbert said change needed to occur now at the University level.
"If the federal government won't listen to its own reports, then why would they listen to a University Council?" Tolbert said.
Shankel said he thought there could be a change.
"I think you have started down a useful path by giving us this document," he said.
Tolbert agreed that the meeting was a positive move, but she still wants KU to make a little more noise, she sard.
