Senate: Conduct code may face revision
Continued from page 1
on it without being able to read or
see it” prior to its publication, Lin
said. “The first line of this docu
ment is incorrect. 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.

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.
