Jevon Cutler (hand raised) and other students participate in the WRC discussion with President Frohnmayer in 177 Lawrence Hall.
Senate
continued from page 1
standards for University licensees
and their sub-contractors.
“If you look over (the Licensee
Code of Conduct), it should be ap
parent that many of these rights
were won by U.S. workers in the
1930s,” Sen. Greg McLauchlan
said in favor of the motion.
After the role-call vote to en
dorse the code, Frohnmayer, who
was in attendance, told Senate
President Peter Gilkey that he
would implement the code im
mediately.
How the principles presented
in the code were to be enforced
was the source of an extended de
bate. Multiple amendments to the
original WRC amendment were
discussed and the Senate quickly
became mired in parliamentary
procedure.
Sen. Jereme Grzybowski pro
posed an addition that would
p
have bound the University to the
fledgling WRC for five years. This
change was later replaced with an
amendment calling for an annual
review of the WRC and the Uni
versity’s relationship to it. The re
view would be made by a Senate
oversight committee.
The hesitation at making any
kind of extended commitment to
the WRC was summed up by
Frohnmayer.
The WRC would not allow ac
cess to the media at its March 31
inaugural meeting in New York
City and denied the University’s
request to have an observer pres
ent, Frohnmayer said.
That kind of secrecy would not
be tolerated on this campus or in
this state, which is known for its
commitment to access, he said.
Frohnmayer’s other concern
dealt with representation on the
WRC board. There are currently
only three seats for university rep
resentatives. “I personally and
professionally think that is an im
balance,” Frohnmayer said.
The organization’s finances and
administration were also at issue,
but Frohnmayer expressed his
willingness to look past the short
comings of the WRC as it is just
getting started. “I would have vot
ed for it,” he said.
University Vice President Dun
can McDonald, who was the facil
itator of the Licensing Code of
Conduct Committee, noted that
nearly 90 percent of the 44 or
more universities that have
signed on with the WRC have
done so conditionally — without
making any official long-term
commitment to the organization.
Many students were in favor of
a five-year commitment to the
WRC because, as Sarah Jacobson,
a student who served on the
LCCC, said, a five-year commit
ment would be a show of support
that could help get the organiza
tion off the ground and “make it
an effective monitoring group.”
Other Senate news
The University Senate approved a
statement of community standards
which was immediately given to Uni
versity President Dave Frohnmayer
with the request that he promulgate
it as a University Policy Statement
The standards seek to "preserve the
freedom of thought and expression”
of all University community mem
bers. Specifically, the standards call
for a commitment to: v
Respect the dignity and essential
worth of all individuals.
Promote a culture of respect
throughout the University communi
ty
Respect the privacy, property and
freedom of others.
Reject bigotry, discrimination, vio
lence or intimidation of any kind.
Practice personal and academic in
tegrity and expect it from others.
Promote the diversity of opinions,
ideas and backgrounds, which is the
lifeblood of the University.
Both the Faculty Advisory Committee
and the Student Senate endorsed the
standards.
Discussion of the Senate’s adoption
of the standards had a distinctly con
stitutional tone.
Senior political science major Scott
Austin took issue with the breadth of
thestatementand the fact that, in his
opinion, it limits free speech.
“A student or faculty member has the
right to be racist,” he said. “Freedom
is hearing something that makes you
nauseous and defending their right
to say it.”
Ann Strahm, a graduate student, said
the standards are important to pro
tect non-mainstream opinions.
“This University wants all people on
this campus to feel they have a right
to be here and have a right to their
opinions”she said.
The standards passed by a vote of 28
2, with one abstention.
The standards will serve only as a rec
ommendation to Frobnmayer. There
is nothing in the resolution about en
forcement of the standards.
