Lake eyes changes
or Faculty Senate
by Bart Becker
A student-faculty senate
merger and reduction of the
size of the Faculty Senate are
the main goals of the
newly-elected president of the
I) niversity of Nebraska
Lincoln Faculty Senate.
James A. Lake, A UNL law
professor, named these two
issues Thursday and touched
on several other duties which
he felt should be handled by
the Faculty Senate President.
The duties of the president
of the Senate aren't described
in any of the rules passed by
the University Senate.
Lake said routine duties the
president should take care of
were presiding over senate
meetings and taking care of
some organizational work.
He named several duties
which he-felt could be handled
by the Faculty Senate
President to relieve some of the
"drudgery" which has been the
responsibility of the chancellor
(formerly the president).
Said Lake: "When I was
elected, the chancellor took
care of agendas, minutes, the
syllabus of Senate committees,
and revisions of committee
membership. The president of
the senate can take over some
of these duties.
"The time the senate is
engaged in routine work needs
to be kept at a minimum,"
Lake said. "We've seen a step
in this direction in recent
years. Committee chairmen are
no longer reading full reports.
Rather, they are summarizing
and copies of all the reports are
distributed to members."
A more salient issue. Lake
said, is that of enacting some
sort of student-faculty
governing board merger.
"I think a faculty-student
senate is in the future, but the
Faculty Senate recently
rejected that proposal," he
explained. "In my year in
office I intend to work on
these problems."
At the campus level, Lake,
who has been on the Lincoln
campus for 21 years, feels a
university senate can become a
reality. He noted, however,
that "there will always be pure
student problems which don't
concern the faculty."
"Students, of course, see
things from one side and
faculty from another," he
pointed out. "If students were
members of a University
Senate it really wouldn't give
us any problems."
Lake seemed unconcerned
that students' lack of
information on some Issues
might bog down a joint
governing group.
"My only experience has
been with students on
committees." he said, "They
realized when they didn't have
the knowledge to add to the
group. But when they had
something to say or add they
plugged into the group.
"In fact," he added, "I feel
that students are probably
reluctant to make their voice
heard on committees. They
possibly feel inferior when
they're surrounded by a few
Ph.D.s and a few Deans. I've
never had any trouble."
In addition to their
rejection of the joint governing
body, the Faculty Senate last
year rejected a proposal for a
representative senate.
There are 907 people on the
Senate. Lake described the
UNL situation as a "town
meeting", and noted that UNO
has a representative senate.
The importance of the
Senate president is dependent
on two factors, according to
Lake. One is "the extent to
which the Board of Regents
looks to that official" and the
other is "how the chancellor
looks to that official for
advice."
The Faculty Senate
President is an ex-officio
member of the liaison
committee. The senate
president and the liaison
committee chairman form
what Lake calls a
two-pronged spokesman tor
the faculty."
He noted, however, that
when people have to check
with two places it can cause
some confusion. He said one
suggestion, that the President
of the Senate also serve as
Liaison Committee Chairman,
seems like a possibility.
Lake indicated that he is
concerned with establishing a
rapport with the Student
Senate and with the
administration.
One of the stumbling blocks
he foresees is that he may be
involved in many meetings to
which he is invited "only
because protocol calls for it."
"I'm happy to go if the
Senate needs representation
but I don't want anybody to
think they have to invite me or
the Senate will feel slighted,"
he said: That could be awfully
time consuming."
