AAUP to discuss release of faculty tenure evaluations
By GENE GEORGE Staff Reporter
The disclosure of tenure evaluations of university professors will be the subject of tonight's panel discussion sponsored by the chapter of the American Association of University Professors.
The discussion will start at 7:30 in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union.
Michael Davis, dean of the School of Law, Sidney Shapiro, professor of law, and David Paretsky, professor of biology, will be the panelists.
Evelyn Swartz, Lawrence chapter president, said tonight's discussion would be based on the recent conference meeting at the University of Georgia.
GEORGIA PROFESSOR James Dinnan was sentenced to 90 days in jail when he refused to reveal how he obtained the tenure hearing of a fellow professor.
Dinnan was on the panel that voted 6-3 not to promote Malja Blaubergs, assistant professor of education.
Dinnan was held in contempt of court for not revealing his vote when
Blaubergs took the issue to federal court.
"We have not had any questions about the problem." Swarts said. "I thought that this was a national issue that affects our profession."
Dinan is appealing to the federal appeals court, claiming that faculty evaluations should be kept confidential.
The national AAUP, however, has established guidelines that allow hearing to obtain information explaining the hearing's outcome.
IRVING SPTZBERTG, general secretary of the AUP, said that, despite those guidelines, it was as inappropriate to jail Dinnam as it would be to refuse to provide a reason for the tennis committee's decision.
Wartz said that the local chapter had not considered forming any guidelines and that she doubted tonight's meeting would generate runoff.
Davis said he thought tonight's forum would consider the legal implications of a KU professor to reveal information, as Dinnan did.
Davis said that he was prepared to act as an adviser at the forum, but not at the University general counsel. He would have the official opinion on the matter.
--are satisfied with SAC, but the Associated Students of Kansas, a Kansas student lobbying group, has endorsed the idea, Schnacke said.
Rights committee asks to add member to Board of Regents
By MIKE ROBINSON Staff Reporter
Schnacke said the Student Advisory Committee, which comprises the student body presidents from the Regents institutions and advises the Board of Regents, was ineffective because of high turnover and the lack of power to make motions or vote at Regents meetings.
Greg Schnacke, student body president, said the resolution on the Board of Regents, which was addressed to the Kansas Legislature, would lay the groundwork for a more specific proposal on a student regent.
In its last meeting of the Senate term, the Student Senate Rights Committee last night approved a resolution that calls for adding a voting student member to the Kansas Board of Regents.
Resolutions to create a seat for a Black Panhellenic representative and to denounce Kansas University Endowment Association investments in the university means they will have to be resubmitted after the Senate elections Nov. 19 and 20.
Some student body presidents in the state are against a change because they
The committee also passed resolutions establishing a Senate seat for a representative from the Stouffer Neighborhood Association, supporting free speech at the University and naming the visual arts building after E. Laurence Chaimers, a former KU chancellor.
Adding a Senate seat for the Stouffer neighborhood would require an amendment to the Student Senate Rules and would bring the number of senators to 66.
He also said that 23 to 24 states already had similar arrangements with their university governing bodies.
The resolution condemning Endowment Association investments in South Africa was tabled because the Association had not enough to make an informed statement.
The committee also approved a new living group seat after Bill Carswell, chairman of the Stouffer Neighborhood Association, said the seat would help the association deal with the University administration.
This resolution merely shows KU support for the idea, Schnacke said.
Carswell said the association was trying to increase participation among Shouffer residents, many of whom are parents and parents with young children.
A proposal to add a Senate seat for the Black Panhellenic was tabled because the committee wanted more information and because Tanya Ivory, the successor senator who sponsored the petition, did not appear before the committee.
He said that Senate was not the answer to all the association's problems, especially in housing matters, but that representation was needed never-
