Promotion,
tenure
panel set
F acuity
Senate

The Faculty Senate voted to set up a five-person
Ad Hoc Committee on Promotion and Tenure at its
meeting last Wednesday in 101 EMU.
Although the measure was passed by the Faculty
Senate by a 13 to 9 vote, with three abstentions, final
approval rests with the general faculty this Wed
nesday.
Hie purpose of the committee, according to John
Shepherd, sponsor of the motion and President of
the American Association of University Professors
(AAUP) “is not to address itself to the question of
when tenure is awarded, but to clarify who, when,
and how it is done.”
According to Shepherd, there are many am
biguities of toms in the administrative and faculty
handbooks. “Areas of confusion include selection
and peer review, parole of department beads, when
and how the review is conducted, and the content of
the review.”
Grace Graham, immediate past President of the
AAUP and also a speaker for the motion said,
“there are no rules beyond when a person should be
considered for tenure in the administrative han
book. There’s nothing about any input from faculty
or students required by the department head and no
requirement that an instructor be told of his own
evaluation.”
Although the John Perrin tenure case was not
specifically mentioned, Graham went an to say that
"There have been cases where a man is not put up
for tenure until his sixth year of employment — and
has never been told that his work was inadequate.”
Membership of the committee is to consist of two
administrators and three faculty members, of
which one must be a member of the Faculty Ad
visory Council to the President, and one a nan
tenured faculty member.
ASUO President Bill Wyatt suggested that
students be included on the committee. However,
when Michael Posner, psychology professor,
proposed that two students be represented on the
committee, the motion was defeated by a 9-16 vote.
Also, the Faculty Senate unanimously voted to
recommend to the general faculty several revisions
of Part I of “The Code of Student Conduct.”
Peter Sherman, chairer of the Student Conduct
Committee spoke to his motion by saying that
revision of the conduct code is a “housekeeping
affair.”
For example, one part of the code lists “per
manent or temporary suspension of charters, social
probation, and denial of the use of University
facilities “As possible sanctions for University
offenses.
Sherman said these sanctions are outdated
because “no charters are authorized by the
University and only in the days when the social
schedule of a group could be pulled did social
probation and the restriction of University facilities
have value.”
However, members of the Student Conduct
Committee were not yet ready to propose
meaningful types of sanctions which could be im
posed for University offenses.
Other changes in the “Code of Student Conduct”
include erasing sanctions for violating closing hour
restrictions and visiting hour rules in the dor
mitories and striking “restriction to campus living
quarters” and the “denial of the use of an
automobile for a designated time” as sanctions.
Provisions added to the conduct code include:
— “Restitution for damaged, stolen or misap
propriated property or stolen or misappropriated
money.”
— “Malicious destruction, damage or misuse of
University property owned or controlled by the
University, including library materials, or of
private property on the campus on real estate or in
vehicles owned or controlled by the University.”
Also, in a special State of the University message,
University President Robert Clark spoke to the
senate about the suggestion of the State System of
Higher Education Chancellor Roy Lieuallen to
merge the University of Oregon Medical, Dental
and Nursing schools and change the name.
Although these three schools presently have only
“nominal relationships” with the University, Clark
said that additional ties such as residential
requirements and curriculum contracts for special
education personnel do exist.
The catalyst for the move to separate the three
schools from the University of Oregon, Clark said,
may be seen in the trend in larger states toward
centralization of medical schools.
The cost of separating the three schools from the
University would be about (35,000 to $40,000 for an
“administrator who might be called a president.”
Clark added, though, that this would be a low salary
figure.
Several names have been proposed if the Medical,
Dental, and Nursing schools do merge. Possibilities
include Oregon College of Health Sciences, Oregon
Institute of Medical Science, and Oregon Institute of
Health Sciences.
The possible merger of the three schools is
presently being considered by the State Board of
Higher Education.

Branch robbed
for third time
The University Branch of First
National Bank of Oregon was
robbed Dec. 27, marking the third
time the bank was hit by robbery
in 1972.
According to Eugene Police
officials, a young man with a
pistol entered the University
bank branch at 1380 Villard St. at
about 3:45 p.m. with a brown
leather briefcase.
At a teller’s window, the man
opened the briefcase, displayed
the gun, and gave her a note
saying he had a gun and wanted
money, police and bank officials
said.
The teller took approximately
$1000 from her cash drawer and
put it in the man’s briefcase,
police said, and the man walked
out of the bank.
The robber was described as
about 25 to 30 years old, between
five feet 10 inches to six feet tall,
medium build, long blond hair
tucked under a stocking cap and
blue eyes, a short scraggly
goatee, blue jeans, a wool blade
and white plaid “jack shirt,’’ and
cowboy boots.
