Assembly
continued from page 1
The University Faculty Senate
voted against a resolution con
demning a war with Iraq in De
cember, several days after Frohn
mayer sent a letter to every
senator asking him or her to rule
the resolution unfit business for
the senate. However, the group
decided in January to call for a
non-binding meeting of the Uni
versity Assembly, made up of
more than 2,000 members, to re
open discussion on the resolution.
The Friday meeting in 180 PLG
was attended by an audience of
about 200, which included assem
bly members, students and com
munity members.
Members of the University As
sembly were the first to speak on
the resolution. Barbara Pope, in
terim director for Women’s and
Gender Studies, asked Frohnmay
er to look at the resolution as an
individual decision, not as a
precedent for the University in
the future.
Faculty senates across the coun
try have decided against condemn
ing the war for fear that it will stifle
debate on campus, a sentiment
that was repeated by the National
Association of Scholars in The
Chronicle of Higher Education.
Members of NAS said that senates
should stick to education and cur
riculum, and remain separate from
foreign politics.
University Professor Emeritus
Thomas Givon seemed to agree
with NAS.
“The question is to me ... just by
moving the topic here does it make
it University business?” Givon
asked. “Bringing political free
speech to the University in the way
that it is done here is basically hid
ing. You don’t want to go out in
public, you don’t want to go in per
son so you go and hide behind
your tax-paying institution. And I
think this is not the most coura
geous act that I’ve seen.”
Michael Stern, professor of Ger
manic Languages and member of
the University Assembly, argued
the other side of the issue.
“The opposition to our resolu

tion has come from people who
have said that it would stifle de
bate,” said Stern. “I’d like to point
out that the resolution is about
opening debate. It’s about dis
cussing the issue and coming to
some kind of statement as a facul
ty and as a community.”
Concerned Faculty for Peace
and Justice, a University group,
has been working to gather the sig
natures of 508 assembly members
for a petition that would summon
an official legislative session of the
University Assembly. The special
session would allow the group to
speak for the University, and could
not be overruled by the University
Senate or by Frohnmayer.
Students for Peace has been col
lecting its own petition, which it
presented at the meeting. Dinae
Horne, a junior business major,
was part of the congregation of stu
dents who gathered on the steps of
Johnson Hall last week in protest
of a war against Iraq, and was one
of many Students for Peace mem
bers to speak out Friday.
“My more intelligent and com
passionate friends, I’ve noticed, are
talking more and more about be
coming Canadian,” said Horne.
"I'd like to point out
that the resolution is
about opening debate."
Michael Stem
professor of Germanic
Languages
“The desire to ditch mycountry is
one that I’m not proud of. I can’t
help but feel like it’s just cow
ardice. I don’t want to be part of it.
I want to stand here and say that I
am opposed to this, and that I am
an American and that’s legitimate.”
One of the few students who
stood up in support of the war and
in opposition to the resolution
was Greg McNeill, a senior politi
cal science major.
“I do support the president and
the administration in this war, and
I realize that a lot of you don’t,” he
said. “And it’s the simple fact that
we have differing issues, differing
beliefs on this, which is why the
University should not take a stand
on the issue.”
