L. Rozman, assistant professor
of political science, caused
some faculty "to want to take
a new look" at the academic
government and procedures
now existing.
"There is a need for
clarification and much more
solid agreement on procedures.
Whether it can be achieved, I
don't know," Peterson said.
The resolution as passed by
the Faculty Senate March 9,
calls for a Constitution which
"should enumerate the powers,
functions and responsibilities
of the constituent parts of the
University, including an
explicit statement of
procedures assuring academic
due process for both tenured
and nontenured faculty
members."
THE CONSTITUTION
would become "the basic
document for governance of
the University of Nebraska, "
the resolution states. It
petitions the Board of Regents
to convene the convention in
the summer of 1971.
Henry F. Holtzclaw,
professor of chemistry; Vernon
F. Snow, acting chairman of
the history department; and
Peterson drew up the
Academic Constitutional
Convention resolution shortly
before a special Feb. 9 faculty
meeting to discuss the Kozman
case.
The resolution was
adopted at that meeting. On
March 9, the Faculty Senate
confirmed the action, but
struck a phrase providing
delegates for ,such governing
bodies as may be mutually
acceptable" to the other
delegates.
At the Regents meeting
Saturday, the Board deferred
action on the resolution until
April, but directed Chancellor
D. B. Varner "to discuss ways
and means for a study of this
kind with representatives of
the administration, faculty,
and student bodies on all
campuses of the University and
to present a plan for Regental
consideration."
PETERSON SAID
Wednesday that he believes the
Regents are "very
sympathetic" to the intent of
the Academic Constitutional
Convention.
The convention was
discussed at an Inter-Campus

THURSDAY, MARCH 18,
IB -jfc- i l-
Faculty Committee meeting
Monday. The Committee
includes representatives from
the Lincoln campuses, the
Omaha campus and the
Medical School.
He added that faculties on
campuses other than the two in
Lincoln have not yet taken
action calling for the
convention. But plans are being
discussed to name faculty,
students and administrators to
a committee to prepare ideas of,
machinery and what could be
done at the convention for
presentation at the April
Regents' meeting.
WHEN THIS committee is
formed, Peterson warned
against making representation
an obstacle.
The Faculty Senate deleted
a phrase allotting delegates to
governing bodies at their March
9 meeting. Saturday, Regent
Kermit Hansen of Omaha
suggested that the public
should also be represented.
"We want to get competent
concerned people, wherever
they come from," Peterson
said. "If we try to get
representation from every
University department, or
every aspect of the student
body, the convention could
bog down."
On the constitution itself,
Peterson asserted that
representative? of the faculties,
students, administrations and
the Regents could come
together and agree on broad
guidelines for policy.
And the Constitution might
be written in a summer.
"The raw material is here,"
he said referring to existing
University documents. "If w
could bring them together,
modify them and tie them
together in a meaningful way,
we could end a lot of
confusion that has existed this
year."
