This is not the product of the council.” Moseley said the need to move forward in the process was such that some points clearly do need more examination and approval, “but it is not the case that it was not put together by this work group.” Vincent outlined the communica tion steps taken within the council when drafting the plan and said many conversations have taken place between council members over the past several months con cerning the revisions. He empha sized that the draft is nowhere close to being a finished version of the di versity plan. “We anticipated that this would be seen as a draft and subject to ma jor revision and influence from the campus community,” Vincent said. Kassia Dellabough, who served on the advisory council, expressed frustration that such concerns about the draft and the need for more in put were not expressed during the many opportunities provided throughout the year. “I’m frustrated because there are a lot of people working on this, and there’s opportunity to show up and voice those concerns, and we’re now in May of a year — more than a year — of working on this, and it’s just, it’s frustrating,” Dellabough said. “There’s been lots of opportu nity to voice this concern all along the way. ” Also discussed at the meeting was the student conduct code. The University is one step closer to re vising the code for the first time since 1964. A draft of the new code is complete and has been forwarded to a newly created senate commit tee for review. The Senate’s Committee on the Sta tus of Nontenure-track Instructional Faculty and the Office of Academic Affairs’ NTTIF Practices and Proce dures Implementation Group re leased a report with specific recom mendations concerning NTTIF treatment within their departments. Recommendations included the in troduction of a system to track and monitor salary compensation for the teachers. The Senate also passed a motion tightening the rules for how instruc tors grant “Y” grades to students. The motion specified that grade changes involving a “Y” mark made after a term’s deadline for grade submission would need to be accompanied by a letter of explana tion to the Office of the Registrar, which could approve or deny the change. meghanncaniff@dailyemerald.com News reporter Adam Cherry contributed to this report Art: 7 MFA students will graduate this year Continued from page 1 “Some objects are wrapped or cov ered,” he said. Faur said he tries to evoke the ob ject rather than show the object. “The spaces that I photograph ... are very quiet spaces, like a museum or a morgue,” Faur said. Religion is a foundation for his im ages, he said. “The impetus for these photo graphs was a reconciliation of the un seen as it was described in the Holy Quran, in the scripture, and a certain phenomenon that is specific to large-format photogra phy,” Faur said. Faur added that he tried to com bine the Islamic art tradition with the realism of photography. “ (Islamic art history) is traditional ly non-representational, non-figura tive; it traditionally relied on orna ment and architecture, calligraphy,” he said. “(My artwork) is a reconcili ation between that and photography, which is, historically speaking ... this sort of imperial form of evidence. In its origin it was considered the purest form of scientific record.” Chad Tolley, who also expects to graduate in June, will show a series of etchings at the exhibit. “The body is a symbol that I use consistently throughout my work,” Tolley said in his artist statement. “How the body is postured, dissected and contorted indicates either a mo ment of conflict or reconciliation. “My work is not about confronting ‘the enemy’ or illustrating a concept. It is about expanding my own under standing of how I perceive reality. I approach the work blindly, relying heavily on intuition.” Faur and Tolley’s art will join the metalsmithing and jewelry by Ukiko Honda, photography by Angaleen Schroeder, paintings by Todd Griffith and Marshall Roemen, printmaking by Kristie Johnson, fibers by Sally Metcalf and visual design by Joseph Stengel-Goetz. Each artist will have a chance to describe his or her artwork in a series of gallery talks May 14, 21 and 25. Wagle said the exhibit will help the students take the next step in their careers. “Every exhibition on the resume is going to help advance your career,” Wagle said. “An exhibition at a uni versity art museum is ... a very good venue to show in.” Faur said he never assumed he would make a living as a full-time fine arts photographer but, while he had concerns about the idea muse ums were built on, he was excited to get his work out into the public. “I have a lot of feelings about mu seums and museum culture as well as gallery culture,” Faur said. “I go back and forth. As appreciative as I am of this opportunity, it’s incredibly important to critique that platform, to critique the system and the history of the museum — its function as a cul tural and commercial space. “I would rather show my work ... in someone’s home,” he said. Faur said his advisers and others had been “of the most extraordinary help” on the project. “I wish that their names were in there with mine, because they were all so helpful,” he said. There are about 40 students in the MFA program, seven of whom will graduate this year, Wagle said. The MFA exhibit’s public reception will last from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. today. The exhibit will remain on display until June 26. Admission to the mu seum is free for University students, faculty and staff. adamcherry@ daily emerald, com JpaSI •WCS“S^;7^'*" lheUnWe^01 ^%r 0w\WeVv0 ww*.p«;6e evenrtMtnePny=>'
