i Senate considers ethics measure
By Angie Brunkow
Staff Reporter
UNL’s Academic Senate will vole
Tuesday on a resolution designed to
protect women, ethnic and racial mi
norities in the
classroom.
The resolu
tion, presented by
the senate’s Hu
mans Rights
QE?K§ A*Ff* Committee,calls
OE.ri.AA IJEi.for ihc adminis
- . ' tration at the Uni
versity of Ncbraska-Lincoln to circu
late around campus a section of the
Professional Ethics Statement.
The section states that professors’
judgments of student work should be
free from any bias or discrimination.
Students would be instructed to report
violations of the code to the Affirma
tive Action Office.
The resolution also would instruct
departments to add questions regard
ing the instructors’ sensitivity to mi
norities and womenon teaching evalu
ation forms.
Departments that already include
the questions would be exempt.
Paul Olson, chairman of the Hu
man Rights Committee, said the reso
lution had changed since it was first
presented before the senate last month.
The original resolution asked pro
fessors to print the excerpt from the
professional ethics statement on their
syllabi.
Olson said the committee decided
to change the resolution because of
objections from professors who “think
their syllabi arc sacred.”
The committee first formed the
lUM/iuuuu auv/i iwviviii^ vUilipiuiniS
from students who said their profes
sors were being insensitive lo minori
ties and women in class, he said.
The resolution was designed to
inform professors about professional
conduct and lo encourage them to use
it in the classroom, he said.
“Nobody’s language is going to be
sensitive all of the time... but whai
we hope is that people make an effort
lo clean up their act,” Olson said.
Olson said he didn’t know if rac
ism and sex ism in the classroom were.
widespread at the university. But the
extent of the problem was secondary,
he said.
“Even ifoncsludcnl is being forced
out of the university . . . that’s a
problem.”
If the resolution is passed, Olson
said, it could be in effect by next fall.

“I got a chance to debate a national
service bill for the House,” he said. “I
also got to debate Eleanor Clift, the
editor of Newsweek.”
This experience stimulated
Johnston’s political interest.
After graduation, he went to a
National Conservative Student Con
ference.
“1 got to meet great conservative
kids from all over the world,” Johnston
said.
The following summer, Johnston
went to the Leadership Institute School
in Springfield, Va. — a place where
student conservatives are trained to
be activists.
Johnston was so pleased with the
school, he said, that he took a semes
ter off from UNL to work at the
institute as assistant to the president.
“This gave me the momentum that
I needed,” he said.
When he relumed to the university
in January, he founded Students for
America.
Johnston said he had been active in
College Republicans, but he thought
the group was limited because it was
lied to a political party.
“I wanted an organization that
would be free to criticize people of all
political parlies,” he said.
“We work together with the Col
lege Republicans, but we both have a
specific purpose.
“They’re bound in an unholy alle
giance to a political party,” he said,
“but they still have a function.” ,
The function of Students for
America is more clear to Johnston. He
said it had many short-term and long
term goals.
“Our main goal is to get students
over their apathy,” Johnston said.
“Everyone has political opinions, so
why not be an activist and have fun
with them?”
Johnston said the organization’s
quick success had exceeded his ex
pectations. He said he hoped to have
more than 100 members by next year
to keep the activist tide turning.
“We’ve never had less than 35 kids
at a meeting,” he said, “and we want
to keep the momentum rolling.”
Outside the membership goals, the
group is focusing on administrative
policy. Boyd said one project was to
reinstate prayer at commencement.
“It’s an outrage that it was taken
away in the first place,” Johnston
said.
Johnston said the group also wanted
to change the policies of UNL’s main
policy maker, Chancellor Graham
Spanier.
“He’s called himself Students for
America’s Public Enemy No. 2 (after
Bill and Hillary Clinton) and he is
correct,” Johnston said.
“He has said that he is supportive
of the kiss-in that the gays had protest
ing a legitimate armed forces policy.
“The administration is spending
money we can’t afford on political
correctness services that arc not
needed. We need services geared to
all students,” he said.
Johnston isn’t sure whether the
group’s efforts will have an effect.
“If anything, we want to make
them becarcful, because we’re watch
ing” . .
Johnston is not as adamant about
his future plans as he is about his
political ideology.
“I don’t know what I want to do,”
he said. “I’m still a freshman, so I
don’ t have to. I just want to havc fun.
Law school isapossibilily.hcsaid,
but it’s loo soon for him to make a
commitment to it. Only one thing is
certain in his future:
“Whatever I do, I’ll always be
active in politics.”
