AAUP says tenure steps OK
Departmental promotion and tenure procedures at the University of Kansas are generally satisfactory, according to a committee report of the KU chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP).
Jack B. Oruch, chairman of the Academic Freedom and Tenure Committee of the AAUP, said yesterday the report was important for the clarification and comparison of procedures used by different departments.
Richard F. Hardin, member of the AAUP tenure committee, said that the report was quite uncontroversial and that it would assist faculty members in the evaluation of their department's tenure and promotion selection procedures.
However, the AAUP committee report did make several recommendations in the procedures used for tenure and promotion selections.
The recommendations were:
--departments and schools that haven't recently examined their promotion and test standards.
—Departments shouldn't emphasize research at the expense of teaching;
—Departments that regularly spend less than one-half hour discussing each candidate for promotion or tenure should give more attention to their careful and detailed consideration:
- Departments that have no specified means of evaluating teaching should adopt at least two of the methods used by other departments or device other methods.
- Finally, departments should make sure that full and well-prepared dosiers on the candidates are given to the final promotion and tenure selection committee.
Six departmental chairmen contacted yesterday said that they hadn't examined the AAPU committee report yet and could make no comments.
The report was derived from a three-page questionnaire prepared by the committee and sent to departmental chairmen and deans early in the spring semester of 1975.
Fifty replies from departments were
Property demolition to begin this month
Dermification of properties around the site
Mittalium should be kept behind the Haskell lock should be kept
When completed in about three years, the Haskell Loop will be a two-lane highway that will run through east Lawrence and highway K-10 with Massachusetts Street.
Mike Wilden, assistant city manager, said Friday that the demolition contractors would set the exact date for the demolition. The arrests are Ernest Abels and Coffman and Sons.
The committee report concluded that the success of any promotion and tenure system
received by the committee, and 25 questionnaires weren't returned.
would depend on the individuals who served on the promotion and tenure committees. The report said treating a candidate as an individual also was important.

In today's issue of the University Daily Kansas is the first of several questions about why some of the students, taken from his last book, Common Sense, are a vital to the survival of our university.
The Old Man states that if his questions create enough interest among the students, he will send them to a university. He asks of wisdom and discuss possible answers to many of the World's great problems.
Q.NO.1
One of the important questions in America today is where profits come from because of economic downturns. We know that when the wages go round. Whenever our economy breaks down and we go into depression the answer to that depression is really easy. All we need do is to find where profits come from so that everyone can get some money. This will help us to keep the economy moving forward.
But, where do profits come from? Profits are something and something cannot come from nothing. Profits must come from somewhere.
The communities tell us that profits come from exploiting labor. Yet, during our last depression we had many million hungry workers who could be hired for starvation wages and we had a great surplus of capital. The very fact that no one was employed in these industries from their labor is proof enough that profits do not come from exploiting labor.
In order to promote economic enquiry I offer a hundred dollars reward to anyone who can tell us where profits really come from.
