"J think you have to understand that it was not directed
at individuals,'" he said. "Jt was never intended to be an
attack locally or on the systems office. It was, in fact ,
directed at the system itself. The faculty felt the system
was not working.
"If theie were problems with local udiuiuiiiiatois,tley
could have been traced back to organization," he said.
"The senate felt that a major difficulty with running the
university was that campus chancellors didn't seem to
have the autonomy needed to function well " Campbell
said. "This could be definitely blamed on organization!!
and the way the system was being operated.
"We focused on two functions we felt were duplicating
what already went on the campuses," he said. In the
resolution, these positions are cited as the vice president
for academic affairs, currently held by Howard Ottoson,
and the vice president for administration, currently held
by AJan Seagrcn.
"It may be true that some problems manifested them
selves locally, but the blame lay on the organization of
the system," he said.
"This was not a resolution that said, 'do away with the
systems office,' " Campbell said. "Although Arts and
Sciences passed such a resolution, there were, in fact,
many of us who felt the central administration performed
some useful functions, but that certain parts of the
systems office caused more problems than they were
solving.
"Since I've not been affiliated with the senate for some
time, I can't tell if there's been a change," he said.
"However, I have the impression that many of those
problems have gone away with changes in personnel in
the systems office and chafes in the mode of
operation."
Raglin said he believed the relationship between faculty
and the central administration "probably hasn't changed
all that much." He said there probably are as many
faculty members who are not impressed with 1 lie central
administration today as there were before.
"I don't think that number changes much," Raglin said.
There's not as much visible discontent as existed during
that period, but 1 here have been changes in administration
on the Lincoln campus, too.
"They've cither directed their ire toward (UNL
Chancellor Martin) Masscngale, or he has been aide to
solve some of their problems by negotiations out here,
1 don't know.
"1 think there's always going to be ferment, especially
when you've got the UNL campus as the foundation
campus. The bulk of the people in this state know UNL.
They don't know UNO or the Med Center; they know the
Lincoln campus. I think the faculty on the Lincoln
campus are very aware of that . So I imagine those who
were not content at the time resolution occurred are still
not content.
"That doesn't particularly disturb me. It's just a
reality," he added.
Raglin cited the policy decisions made on computers,
academic programs, budget allocations and student
activities.
"I don't think the faculty on either one of those
campuses could have done a better job," he said. "In
fact , I'm not sure they could have done as good a job."
lrry Walkin, president of the faculty senate, said the
body's main contact in the central administration is
Howard Ottoson.
"Ottoson is very responsive to the feelings of the
senate," Walklin said. "We have had good working
relations with Dr. Ottoson's people in the academic affairs
operation."
Walklin said that, in circumstances when it was
appropriate to contact other members of the
administration, the senate "did not necessarily agree with
every policy, but had very reasonable dialogues."
"the rapport established during these discussions seems
to be the kind that should be taking place," Walklin said.
