Student senators are watching intently for the results of a meeting today concerning faculty evaluations.
Kansan staff writer
At 3:30 p.m. at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union, student senators, faculty and members of the University Senate Executive Committee will discuss plans for faculty evaluations at the University of Kansas.
"This is an opportunity to get our voices heard on this issue," said
Evaluations bring Senate response
The evaluations being discussed are not those filled out by students at the end of each semester. The proposed evaluations would be filled out annually by deans or department heads. Evaluations would incorporate information from various sources, including peers and students.
The Board of Regents has mandated that the University establish a structured evaluation policy by
Meeting draws attention
Convenient, Confidential, Economical
Today's meeting will allow faculty and student senators to respond to the proposed faculty evaluation plan.
Rachel Schwartz, Nunemaker senator, wanted to see the University establish an effective evaluation policy. Schwartz said such evaluations would benefit students.
Jeff Stowell, SenEx member, said today's results would have ramifications on students.
"I think it is nice for Chancellor Hemenway to go around and recognize good professors," Schwartz said. "But I think there ought to be an equal opportunity to recognize not-so-outstanding professors."

By Spencer Duncan
At Watkins, students receive comprehensive, confidential gynecologic care. We have a board certified gynecologist and a certified gynecologic nurse practitioner. And our prices are lower than many off-campus facilities.
Cook said he supported faculty evaluations and that the meeting would be important in deciding how the final process would work.
Sept. 20. If the University does not establish its own plan, the Regents will impose a plan.
"What happens at this meeting will not affect students right away," he said. "But a faculty evaluation policy will eventually affect students."
Services include: ● contraceptives and contraceptive counseling (walk-in basis) ● annual exams and Pap smears including evaluation and treatment after abnormal Pap smears ● treatment for acute gynecologic problems ● treatment of STDs for females and males ● infertility counseling and treatment.

And everyone is doing the same thing. Line-dancing participants gather in a group on the dance floor and perform several steps to complete a routine. The routine usually is repeated throughout the song.
The Macarena gained national attention when 37,576 Seattle Mariners fans did the dance during a game this month. This week, the dance received more attention when 4,320 delegates at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago came onto the floor dancing.
Louis Orlando, disc jockey at Coyote's night club, 1003 E. 23rd St., said line dancing was done mostly by women.
"A lot of the reason is because you don't have to have a partner," Orlando said. "Ladies have a hard time getting guys to dance."

anything specific to the area of performing specific duties," Shulenburger said. "The board wants an explicit declaration with plans for faculty development."
Shulenburger said current revisions of the existing policies were designed to keep teaching at an acceptable level.
"The controversy is the lessening of protection against arbitrary actions taken against tenured faculty," he said.
"The point of tenure is academic freedom," Genova said. "While I agree incompetent faculty should be cut, I believe the present policy already addresses that problem."
"We need to make sure what we are doing in no way compromises the freedom of tenure. It appears external forces, maybe not consciously, are in the first phase of threatening tenure."
Draper said faculty dismissal was

not at the heart of the Regents' requests.
"We are dealing with a minuscule number of faculty that this would apply to," Draper said. "Faculty development is just one of a number of directives for the board, and the section that deals with dismissal is just one small part of a much broader plan."
Bruce Twarog, professor of physics and astronomy, was one of 12 faculty members to send comments.
"This is a nice thing if there is a long-term problem," Twarog said. "It does not address short-term problems. This is a tedious process that doesn't deal with someone that chooses to coast for a year or two. There have to be immediate answers."
