Tenure change proposed
The American Association of University Professors yesterday expressed its disdain for the Regent Tempe Policy and Regenta Tempe Policy that could add years to the probation periods institutes serve.
T. P. Strivissan, chapter president of the AUAP, said the AUAP would recommend changes to the Regents Council of Chief Officers, which proposed the amendment.
The Council of Presidents, made up of the executive officers from all of the Regents institutions, yesterday referred the amendment back to COCAO.
"I am sure that they (COCAO) will get the message from the Council of Presidents," Srinivasan said. "If they are asking COCAO what is it, I am very hopeful that they will change."
However, Ralph Christoffersen, vice chancellor for academic affairs and KU's representative on COCAO, had said earlier that the amendment "was straightforward and a step in the right direction" toward clarifying the tenure requirement driving the change of members.
THE AAUP ADOPTED a resolution
criticizing the amendment, contending it was too vague.
Brissinasan said the AUAP would recommend to COCOA, that the amendment specify when the University can add years to an instructor's probation period.
Srinivasan said the AAUP would recommend that two exceptions be added to the curriculum so that the service that substantially differs from the faculty member's KU position and prior service at an institution that is not considered compatible to the University of Kansas.
The KU Faculty Council approved the same recommendations Jan. 28, but COCAO did not include them in the amendment.
Upon Chancellor Archie R. Dykes' again approval, the AAPL's recommendations again will be forwarded to COCAO's November agenda, Strivsnan said.
ALTHOUGH COCAO rejected the AUAP's recommendations earlier, Srinivasa said he was hopeful that COCAO would approve the recommendations in November.
"Once they realized how serious this was and the strength of faculty sentiment, the Council of Presidents realized that this should be reconsidered," he said.
The amendment would change the
probabinary periods teachers must serve upon being hired by the University.
New instructors at the University usually are placed on a seven-year probationary service period before being awarded tenure. The new instructors must be submitted to release from the University.
Under the current policy, an instructor serving more than three years of probation at another institution would be placed on leave if hired by the University of Kansas.
HOWEVER, the amendment states that the institution must admit that four years of probationary service, the employing institution provided that probationary period at that institution does not end.
The AAU executive committee said an instructor could have served probation in excess of 10 years if the amendment had been approved by the Revents.
The AAUP's resolution said, "We探听 the fact that this amendment was adopted by the Chief Academic Officers of the disgraced in disregard of faculty sentiment.
"We urge that the amendment be revised to stipulate that an extended probationary member should not be ordinary, and will be limited to circumstances involving a significantly different responsibility in the past from that of an official such that the faculty member is being appointed."
Women Regents given respect by their colleagues on the Board
By TONI WOOD Staff Reporter
After more than six months of working in an environment dominated by men, the two women on the Kansas Board of Trustees agreed to待 and respected by their colleagues.
By TONI WOOD
Sandra M McLennan, Hutchinson, and Margaret Glades, Yates Center, were appointed in February by Gov. John Carlin on the 18-member Board of Beegts.
"Sometimes, you think you're going against a stone wall," Glades said. "But later, see they've taken your views into account.
"The other members do listen and are very cooperative—not in a condescending way. They haven't made us feel that you don't know as much as they do."
McMullen agreed that the other Regents members had listened to her opinions.
BOTH WOMEN said they often had been
"I think I bring a different set of experiences and point of view to the Regents," she said. "Everyone brings a different perspective because of the experiences in the past."
on boards or committees of which they were the only female members.
McMullen was chairman of the Hutchinson Junior College Board of Trustees and was the only woman on the board.
Giades was the only woman among about 30 men on the Baker University Board of Trustees.
"Sometimes a woman's view may differ," she said. "I can remember times when I was the only one on a board for or against something."
whether of the women have full-time jobs, but are involved with community activities and with their families.
BOTH WOMEN said being a Regents member meant not only attending the monthly meeting, but also studying the issues, reading the information they provided, and working with Regents staff, keeping up with correspondence and visiting campuses.
Glades said she and McMullen had visited each of the seven Regents institutions last spring to acquaint themselves with the administrators and faculty.
Part of the learning process for McMullen and Glades has been made easier
by the full-time Regents staff in Topeka, according to both women.
McMullen said, "The staff keeps us very well informed. I feel adequately prepared for the Reentests meetings.
"THE THING that impresses me most is that we Regents have enough information on which to make decisions at each meeting."
Both women said they thought the meetings were conducted in a business-like manner. Many of the issues involve large amounts of money to the universities.
"It is rather mind-boggling," Glades said. "But we are dealing with a large budget when you think of seven universities."
Glades said she was satisfied both with the way the meetings were conducted and with the composition of the Regents.
"I THINK WE have a very balanced board," she said. "We have businessmen, a young view from Bernard Franklin, a former leasler and two women."
The women were appointed for four-year terms on the Regents, but will be eligible for re-appointment.
