I On motion by Mr. Merriman, seconded by Mr. Huff, it was voted to approve the above recommendation. 9. The President commented as follows: Non-tenured faculty not reappointed listed here- with. The Trustees at the November meeting approved all of the reappointments that were recommended. No action was required or recommended for a list of 15 non-tenured faculty who were not being recommended for reappointment. In every instance, the recommendation for non-reappoint- ment had originated within the department, been recommended by the Department Chairman, by the Dean, by the Provost, and by the President. There had been much publicity with reference to the non-reappointment of three instructors in the Department of American Thought and Language. In the course of the Trustees' dis- cussion, it was decided to delete the list of non-reappointtnents from the Board agenda so that if any of the departments wished to change their minds they were free to do so prior to the December Trustees1 meeting. Subsequent to the Board meeting, it was determined that it was the desire of the departments to stay with the original recommendations, and the instructors involved were notified that they would not be reappointed at the expiration of their present contracts. Mr. Huff moved that, since traditionally it has been the usual procedure to include in the minutes the list of non-tenured faculty not recommended for reappointment, the list deleted from the agenda for the last meeting be included in today's minutes as follows: I Philip M. Morris, German & Russian William D. Elliott, Music Jack R. Vernon, Economics Robert J. Marsh, Mott Inst. Nathan Kroman, Sec. Educ and Curric Frank M. Stefanes, TCRA Donald A. Blome, Geography John E. Hunter, Psychology Robert S. Fogarty, Am. Thought and Lang William G. Groat, Am. Thought and Lang John Lawless, Am. Thought and Lang Robert Edward Brown, Natural Science Robert P.
