Wednesday, October 10, 1979 daily nebraskan pagey 'Drop out' issue shelved By Gordon Johnson The Faculty Senate decided Tuesday to postpone until November action which would chahge class withdrawal procedures. The senate also voted to postpone action on a recommendation by the Griev. ance Committee and discussed the future of the Research Council. Under present university policy, a grade of W (withdrawal) can be assigned even after the finals have been taken. The pro posal offered by the Grading Committee would allow a W to be given only until the 12th week of school. An amendment to the proposal, which was approved by the senate last April, stipulated that the instructor must certify that the student is passing the course. Lowell Satterlee, chairman of the Research Council, told the senate that if the research council's budget is cut further, the council may not survive. Satterlee said the proposed 1980-81 budget for the research council was cut from $250,000 to $100,000 by the NU Board Regents when they cut the proposed budget from a 19 percent to 15 percent increase. The budget has not been approved by the legislature. "Knowing the budget may be cut again, we are afraid it won't do the research coun cil any good," Satterlee said. "If the research council docs not survive this, which could happen if money is not put in, input into research by UNL faculty could fall to zero," he said. Satterlee said that unless more money is obtained for the research council, the council should be dissolved. In response to this, the Faculty Senate voted to give money which is In reserve for the hiring of luminary professors to the research council. The senate also voted to postpone vot ing on a recommendation, made by the Grievance Committee, to restructure some of the guideline's for determining faculty tenure. The committee recommended that only tenured staff should make recom mendations, that guidelines are needed to control removal of information from a faculty member's file, and how oral argu ments should be evaluated. The proposal also suggested that faculty members who "evaluate" the administration should be protected from retaliation, and that those being evaluated should be informed on the progress of the evaluation. Faculty Senate Chairman, William Campbell said the Regents assured the senate that consultation will be sought before a budget decision is made. Campbell said he fears that this years' low budget appropriation could prove to be a trend for future years. Daryl P. Swanson, acting director the Nebraska SwHIlSOn n&meCl an( ast Union, was named director of both unions' Tuesday. j. Swanson, who has served in various union posi- UniOn director tions since 1963 has been acting director since March when former Director Allen Bennett resigned in June. Swanson, 40, will receive $29,000 annually as director. A search committee was formed in July to find a successor to Bennett. doufjjlQS 3 13th P 475???2 ; 5:30-7:30-9:30 Monty Python's LIFE OF BRIAN' 5:20-7:20-9:20 "WHEN A STRANGER CALLS' (R) 5:40-7:40-9:40 LAMP)'. o o O O 5400 0 St. 464-7421 Sign STARTS FRIDAY NO PASSES!
