Moeser wants senate
to focus on sensitivity
The chancellor says
all UNL graduates
should know how to
deal with diversity.

Chancellor James Moeser told the
Academic Senate Tuesday to be more
culturally sensitive.
At the senate’s meeting at the Ne
braska East Union on Tbesday, Moeser
told senate members about students’
views of campus sensitivity.
moeser nau lauteu 10 siuuenis
about their opinions of diversity issues,
he said. Students were concerned that
faculty weren’t sensitive to cultural
differences, he said.
He challenged university faculty to
make students more aware and sensi
tive to diversity before they leave the
University of Nebraska-Uncoln.
“Students walk through our gates
for mi average of about four years,”
Moeser said. “If our students leave
without sensitivity to different races
and cultures, then we have failed in
cme of our goals.”
Moeser said he hoped to help solve
this problem by educating incoming
freshmen through New Student En
rollment. \
The senate also looked at the sec
ond draft of the proposed post-tenure
review policy.
The newest draft was written based
on recommendations from the Aca
demic Rights and Responsibilities
Committee. The senate assigned the
recommendations to ARRC after the
original proposal met resistance in
February.
After the committee went over the
review, a new draft of the policy was
written and submitted to the senators
for review.
English professor Jim McShane
was part of the committee that drafted
the new version of the policy and ex
plained it to the senators who had
questions.

nize the mutual decisions of the pro
fessional faculty,” McShane said.
Many senators said they felt rushed
in voting on the document Tuesday.
Some also felt unsure about voting
because many colleagues in their de
partments didn’t get a chance to re
view the new policy before Tuesday.
The senate voted to wait until next
semester to vote on the policy.
The senate also installed its new
president, English Professor James E.
Ford. The senate elected Pat Kennedy,
a marketing professor, as its new presi
dent.
Following the elections, the sen
ate presented the 1997 James A. Lake
award for academic freedom to edu
cational psychology Professor David
Moshman. Moshman is a leader in the
preservation of academic freedom
throughout the state of Nebraska.
