Board committee
suggests
changes
in tenure
PORTLAND (Special — Administration and
operation of tenure in the State System of Higher
Education and proposed changes was the focal point
of a meeting of the State Board of Higher
Education's academic affairs committee held
Friday.
The main thrust of the proposed changes,
recommended to be sent to the full board for further
action in its meeting July 23 in Portland, was to
make tenure able to provide instructors with job
security while still leaving opportunity for in
stitutions to recruit new personnel by spelling out
the guidelines and definition of tenure as clearly as
possible so faculty and institutions would be aware
what was expected of them. Robert Holmes, a
member of the committee, said. “Our job seems to
be to make things as clear as possible "
The following are some of the changes proposed
by the committee:
(1) The possibility of terminating faculty
members involved in programs eliminated or
reduced for financial needs.
(2) Providing the use of “fixed term ap
pointments" for a special group of faculty mem
bers, including those whose salaries are paid out of
gifts, grants, or contract funds, visiting professors
and part-time faculty members. This could also be
used to alleviate the present problem of the “up or
out" policy. Under present regulations, faculty
members who have not been placed on tenure after
six years of employment must either be given
tenure or a year’s notice.
(3) Tenure is to apply only at the school the
person is employed at and can’t be transferred.
(4) Setting up guidelines for a systematic
review of faculty members who have been given
tenure.
(5) Requiring faculty members to be employed
and evaluated annually for five consecutive years
before they can be considered for tenure instead of
the present set-up where faculty members are
eligible for tenure after three years of employment.
(6' Requiring a minimum of six months’ notice
of termination for faculty members in their second
year of employment at a state institution instead of
the current provision for a year's notice for faculty
employed one full year. The present requirement
for a minimum of three months’ notice during the
first year of employment would still be in effect.
Discussion on whether to allow tenure for
faculty teaching less than full-time but more than
half-time was considered. The chairer of the
committee. Elizabeth Johnson, said, “I’m con
cerned about how you compute who’s part time.”

Eight patients added to program
The Kidney Association of Oregon (KAO) has announced that
eight more Oregonians have been added to its life-saving program,
individuals who have developed kidney failure and who must use an
artificial kidney machine to stay alive.
The new patients are: Jannice Claypool and Geraldine Bentley,
Roseburg; Ilene Schultz, Tigard; Dwight TTiompson, Rogue River;
Norma Putman, Carlton; John Putyrski, Scappoose; Juanita Martin,
Bend; and Janice Scott, Portland.
According to the announcement by KAO executive director Chuck
Foster, 35 Oregonians are now being kept alive in the Kidney
Association statewide program.
Foster said, “We have admitted 13 new patients to our dialysis
program since the beginning of 1973. This,” he explained, “is a larger
number of patients than have been added in previous years, an
average of more than two new patients per month. Prior to 1973, KAO
had been admitting an average of about one new patient each month.”
Committee asks Wounded Knee donations
The Wounded Knee Legal Defense-Offense Committee is looking
for everything from real estate securities and automobiles to bail
money and law books to continue helping those arrested in and around
Wounded Knee, S.D.
All of the defendants are presently out on bond but the committee
anticipates future arrests will bring a need for more bail money and
legal aid.
The committee sees their work continuing for many more months
due to lengthy trials, appeals and affirmative action suits.
Susan Tilsen, a member of the committee, has circulated a letter
calling for aid in various forms. Typewriters, an adding machine, a
duplicating machine and certain law books are needed as well as autos
for transportation to,and from the committee’s Rapid City law office.
Tilsen’s letter requests that the committee be contacted before
sending law books. Any money should be sent by check, in the com
mittee’s name, to P.0 Box 147, Rapid City, S.D. 57701.
Money for bail in excess of $1,000 will be deposited in a trust ac
count that pays interest. Donors can make arrangements for these
deposits with the committee. The committee will also accept land as
security for bail.
Tilsen’s letter also mentions a 46-minute promotional audio tape
about the history and present situation of Wounded Knee. Tapes are
selling for $5 for individuals and $15 for radio stations and newspapers.
The tape can only be used for news and fund-raising, according to
Tilsen’s letter.
