Faculty Senate accepts
responsibility statement
by MICK MORIARTY
Nebraskan Staff Writer
After 45 minutes of discuss
ing, haggling and amending
amendments, the Faculty
Senate accepted a revised
statement on faculty
responsibilities Tuesday.
The senate first passed an
amendment Introduced by
Walter Militzer, professor of
chemistry, which would have
barred classrooms from being
used "for the political ambi
tions of any party or persons,"
and further barring the
classroom from being used as a
vehicle for personal attacks.
Then by a vote of 74 to 61, the
Senate rescinded the part of
Militzer's amendment dealing
with politics in the
classroom.
Desmond Wheeler, professor
of chemistry, argued suc
cessfully that the part of
Militzer's amendment dealing
with politics in the classroom
(a provision appearing in the
handbook of the College of Arts
Authority
Sandie Springer, chairman of
a newly-formed tenant advisory
board which will discuss prob
lems with LHA, agreed with
Malloy. "Married students are
more respectable than other
low-income families. They give
the housing authority a better
name with landlords," she said.
Hamilton explained students
and also elderly couples may
seem to be favored, but this is
due to the type of housing
available to the authority.
Of 1350 units available, 640
are either efficiency or one
bedroom apartments, ac
cording to Hamilton. Only 350

and Sciences), "might get us in
trouble if, for example, an
economics professor opposed
the way the government was
handling the economy."
Members Of the Faculty
Senate also disagreed on an
amendment proposed by
Frederick M. Link, professor of
English, which read, "Each
faculty member is expected to
inform his students in writing
of the standards, objectives,
requirements, and evaluation
procedures at the beginning of
a course'.'
Link argued that in the past
some students not enrolled in a
course on its first day of
meeting have missed important
instructions. He said a written
statement on policy for each
class would preclude later
possible difficulties over grade
changes.
Although Link met little op
position in discussion of his
amendment, faculty members
resoundingly defeated the pro
posal in a voice vote.

have three or more bedrooms.
"More units are available for
small families," said Hamilton,
"so low-income students and
elderly families are more likely
to find suitable housing."
Hamilton noted that 77 per
cent of LHA units are rented by
these two groups.
Meanwhile, Joan Wooten,
who receives Aid for Dependent
Children (ADC) welfare
payments, said ADC mothers
"automatically get a hard
time" from LHA.
She cited frequent inspections

The result was that the
faculty accepted the original
statement prepared by the
Committee on Academic
Privilege and Tenure which
said teachers must inform
students of class policies, but
they do not have to do it in
writing.
Further disagreement
developed over Professor of
English, Paul A. Olson's,
question, "Does this statement
apply to the administration and
Board of Regents, as well as
the faculty?"
Assistant Professor of
English James A. McShane
moved to replace "faculty
members" with "all members
of the academic community."
His amendment failed.
The concensus was with
Wallace M. Rudolph, professor
of law, who said the statement
on faculty responsibility should
apply only to the faculty and
not members of the Board of
Regents, or graduate and
undergraduate students.
The final draft included
statements that each faculty
member is expected:
"To treat all students with
dignity and respect."
''To meet all regularly
scheduled classes or provide a
reasonable alternative related
to the educational objectives of
the course."
"To maintain an at
mosphere of free and open in
quiry in the classroom."
The Faculty Senate will
resume Tuesday's meeting
(which lasted the alloted one
hour) on Thursday, November
12, 4 p.m. at Love Library.
Included in the business for
the resumed meeting will be
the report to recommend
changes in the structure and
operation of the Senate.
