MRS BERNIE TUCKER OFFICE OF SEC OF FAC EAST WING LIBRARY 003 010 Assistant provosl assesses her task Fundamental and flexible are often - repeated words when the new assistant provost for undergraduate education . discusses her job. Dorothy Arata will say, laughingly, that "I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm certainly enjoying it." But then she talks about the "heroic effort" she'll make "to keep an all - University view of undergraduate education." A former associate director of the Honors College, she was named to her assistant provost's job in January. Viewing her new role, Arata refers to "human and dollar resources we haven't utilized" because of a traditional tenden<.y to viewthings from "disciplinary postures. " The disciplinary postures shouldn't be eroded, she says, but used - with the disciplinary id~as and suggestions gathered and synthesized into broader Dbrothy Arata: Keeping an aU - University view of undergraduate education. - Photo by Dick Wesley Vol. 2, No. 16 Michlgan State University Feb. 9,1971 --------------------------~--- Academic Council to continue discussion of freedom report packages with an all - institutional cast, to increase flexibility. "We have a lot of monolithic, vertical structures, and not many horizontal structures," she says. Matters that might involve the new assistant provost for undergraduate education include interdisciplinary programs, how residence hall personnel might be utilized in undergraduate education without competing with faculty, and the future of general education. Arata says something in addition to the vertical structure needs to ' be created, "and you don't do that by fiat." * * * THE NATURE of the University has changed, she says, from order by fiat to more participation in all areas, academic and governance. Faculty _ will not be ordered, she said, but they will have to be persuaded that something can be done in a new way. She sees her position as "coordinative." She . says she will probably move about, in and out of study groups, to keep up on what is happening.

The Academic Council will meet this -afternoon at 3: 15 in the Engineering Auditorium to continue discussion of amendments to the Academic Freedom Report. in a special session Originally presented, to the Council last week, three of the amendments were tabled, then approved in principle, and one was defeated. The University Student Affairs Committee (USAC) presented four proposals for action by the Council: (1) Remove sections of Article 2 of the f~eedom report which deals with faculty nghts and responsibilities; (2) Adopt a resolution incorporating the text of the deleted sections until a document on faculty rights and responsibilities is formally approved through University channels; (3) Add a new section in Article 2 pertaining to student grievances; and (4) Approve a new procedure for amending and reviSing the freedom report. . • A new proposal the Friday Expected to be offered at today's Council meeting is a proposal to ease conflict between the Taylor Report and the Academic Freedom Report. The proposal, drafted at a special meeting called by the Steering the Committee, would delete from Taylor Report (in statement 5.4.08.3) that prevents the student affairs committee from amending the responsibilities and faculty section of the freedom report.It would also insure that no amendments or revisions of the freedom report (relating to faculty rights and responsibilities) would be made without review by the faculty affairs committee and the Elected Faculty Council. rights PURPOSE OF THE proposals was to. supercede an Academic Freedom Report amendment procedure approved by the Council last November which is inconsistent with the faculty bylaw amendments approved by the Academic Senate last month. (The bylaw amendments provide increased student participation in academic governance and have become known as the Taylor Report.) The November amendment to the freedom report states that ASMSU, USAC or the Board of Trustees may propose amendments or revisions to the those freedo.m report, except for sections dealing with faculty rights and responsibilities. Those sections (2.1.4.9 ·and 2.2.) would be amended only through proposals from the faculty affairs committee, to be presented to the Elected Faculty Council and then to the Academic Council. That provision was made because of alteration of the Council from a faculty body "to a student - faculty body. The bylaws as amended in the Taylor Report make no reference to ASMSU, and, according to Vice President for Student Affairs Milton B. Dickerson, thus do not take away the students' powers to initiate amendments, even to the faculty section of the freedom report. But the bylaws do remove the initiatory powers on tIle one section from the USAC. It is because of this inconsistency that the ASMSU Student Board is to prevent the seeking an injunction trustees from conSidering the Taylor Report at their Feb. 19 meeting. * * * THE MOTION to delete Sections 2.1.4.9. and 2.2. of the freedom report was tabled by the Council on an appeal from Frederick Williams, professor of history: Williams expressed concern timing of the deletion' about the (referring to comments made by trustees in the State News about faculty rights and about "faculty rights going into a state of limbo.") _ Continued on page 3 Faculty group may move - . . closer toward bargaining Members of the MSO district of the Mich'igan Association for Higher Education (MARE) will meet today to consider actions t.hat could move the group closer toward seeking recognition as a collective bargaining unit for faculty.

The unsure ones may (Editor's Note : The present faculty retirement policy, according to the "Policy Handbook for MSU Faculty," was adopted by the Board of Trustees in 1962 and later amended. It provides that the "normal age for retireJUent of faculty members is 65, but is optio!lal on the fust day ·of the term following attainment of age 62, and compulsory on the fust day of July following attainment of age 70." To continue in service after age 68, the policy says, "a faculty member must be in good health, must be able to pass a physical examination given in the University Health Center, and must be rendering effective service to the University. " The policy also says that "a retired faculty member may be re-employed, usually for part - time service, on a term - to - term or a yeat - to - year basis . . . ") persuaded that with dialogue and existing resources, we can come up with exciting, flexible new programs for undergraduates with a slight and nonpainful shifting of human resources." * * * THE FIRST step, she says, is neutralizing or reversing the adversary base of students versus faculty versus administration, or diSCipline versus discipline, "to see better our cornmon goals . . . and reduce duplication and competition. " And that is to be done with a good deal of communication. Arata is now "hooking into groups which are carrying on dialogues within tight little circles" - the such as residence hall groups, educational policies subcommittee which is discussing general education, and the natural science faculty group which is studying its curriculum. "We're on a collision course" with general education, Arata says. "The tendency is to loosen requirements in 'higher education, to give more responsibility to the students to learn. That's all well and good, and I sympa thize with that flexible programming. But on the other side we ha ve dep artments with dollar constraints who are withdrawing from service courses and are handling their own majors." So the fundamental question, she says, is: "How deep is the commitment of individual units to general education? And if we are committed, what can we do?" "I think we have much less commitment than we have deluded ourselves into thinking we have," she says. "We've let University College do it." * * * THE OFFICE of assistant provost for undergraduate education has been left vacant since John Wilson left the post some-two years ago to become president of Wells College. Arata thinks this is a good time for the role to be reactivated because she says she senses a new spirit on the campus, something she hasn't seen in her 14 years here. < - "Maybe it's the pinch of the vanishing dollar," she says, "but I feel a different kind of attitude - more open, honest, more -Willingness to look at what we're dom~ , internally.

The standing committees EPC concerns: From law school to tuition MsU ,Paculty NeWs, Feb; 9, ti971 Note: This is the fIrSt of a series of articles about each of the University's standing committees: , ~ Some of the most impor,tant the academic changes made at University are channeled through the Un i versity Educational Policies Committee (EPC) , a committee of 17 faculty, five students and two ex officio administrators. Some of those important academic changes: A revised grading system; three new residential colleges; the Code of Teaching .Responsibility. Although a standing committee of the Academic Council, the EPC works primarily to advise the provost. T h,e issues discussed by the committee, however, come from a,range of sources. From the provost, for example, come such long - range matters as the law school proposal, explained EPC chairman W. D. Collings, professor of physiology. The Academic Coun.¢l is more likely to submit items to the EPC which are Council meets today. • • Concluded from page 1 Although the motion was tabled, discussion continued throughout the meeting. Bishop N. Pipes Jr., professor of humanities, repeatedly expressed his concern that Council members should have time to discuss the matter with their colleagues. James H. Pickering, associate professor of English, said that faculty rights had existed prior to 1967 (when the freedom report was adopted) and referred to section 1.2.5. in the faculty bylaws which pertains to faculty rights. Thomas H. Greer, professor of humanities, also assured faculty that their rights would not be in a state of limbo if the two sections of the freedom report was deleted, since, he said, the trustees' bylaws contain a statement on faculty rights. 'So a motion from Gerald Miller, professor of communication, expressing approval in principle of the .. tabled motion, was passed. * * * BUT STUDENT represent~\iye Gina Schack pointed out that the 'question l1'eedom remains: Which Academic This is the matter, she said, on which the ASMSU would request an injunction. A motion .10 approve the USAC amendment to the freedom report was defeated, but may be reconsidered at ' today's meetmg. Chitra Smith, associate professor in James Madison College, again asked for more time to consider the question, since, she said, the USAC proposal would give ASMSU "veto power" that it did not have in the original amendment procedures. But Jack Bain, dean of communication arts, argued that Mrs. Smith was taking the matter out of context. The students, he said, could "veto only those items which deal with student affairs, not an academic question. We've said students are not to have a vote in our affairs (in the Taylor Report), and now we're worried about our rights as expressed in a student document. Our trust and faith in students gets less and less each time we're asked to deal with this." Miller also commented that with the deletion of the faculty rights section, the freedom report amendment procedures are liberal in stID allowing a faculty veto as well. Report' amendment is to be adopted? • Bo:ard of Trustees won't vote on bylaw changes this month The suit by ASMSU to halt trustees' action on the proposed faculty bylaw amendments (the Taylor Report) has been described as unnecessary by President Clifton Wharton. He said that ASMSU's "legalistic approach (filing suit with the Student - Faculty Judiciary) tends to obstruct efforts to reach a solution rather than enhance them." New collection now in Kresge "The Eaton Collection," a group of 33 paintings mostly by contemporary American artists, will be shown at the Kresge Art Center Gallery through Feb. 28. . The collection, established by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Eaton of Woodbury, Conn., includes works by George C. Ault, Milton Avery, Robert Beauchampj Xavier Gonzalez of Spain and Karl Knaths. Hours are 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5 p.m., Monday - Friday; 7 to 9 p.m., Tuesday; 2 to 5 p.m., Saturday and Sunday. Wharton said that he does not intend to ask the Board of Trustees to make a fmal decision on the bylaw changes at its Feb. 19 meeting. "Instead, the Taylor Report is being presented for discussion, not action, by the Board." He listed three reasons for his course of action: . Not all Board members are expected for the Feb. 19 meeting ("I feel final action on this important subject should reflect the consensus of all trustees"); the report's long history is so complex that "it would be unfair to the Board to ask it to reach a decision without allowing them the opportunity to thoroughly consider all the issues;" and "I know the trustees share with me a confidence in the ability of students and faculty to reach a mutally satisfactory resolution of any differences which exist."

His "ad hoc issues," Collings said, such '8.S the question of admitting freshmen to the Honors College or the feasibility of continuing the military education advisory committee. From students have come questions relating to money, such as tuition. * * * ~ HE EPC agenda receives items from other sources as well. The Code of Teaching Responsibility was developed at the prodding of Ombudsman James Rust, Collings said. . Every time instructional rat~ng forms are changed, the EPC takes a look at them; the committee has studied the status of WMSB with recommendations on its future status; EPC was asked to comment before the Department of Theater was transferred from one college to another; and it was asked to develop a process for selection of distinguished faculty. And the list goes on. "We've never had time to generate a policy statement on our own," Collings said, because the committee is too busy answering queries from other sectors of the University. And providing some of the answers is time consuming. The committee spent six months on the recent study, "Organization of Undergraduate Education." That advisory report from the provost has just been returned to , EPC for reconsideration of alternative patterns for a University policy on general education. The provost's charge; Collings said, gives the committee' latitude to develop whatever recommendations it chooses. Working with the EPC, Collings said, involves "a great deal of homework,'.' but there are rewards "in what you learn about the University, the plans, and even the programs of other universities." Much of the work of the EPC isn't revealed until the studies are completed. "This is not an effort to lock the door," Collings said, but the committee feels it cannot reveal what's being said in meetings because discussions or studies are incomplete. And all reports must go to the provost first, Collings said. Collings is looking forward · to increased student participation with his committee. "I think it would be great," he said. "So far students have been very effective members." Two students, he said, have been the most "interested, constructive people" on the committee. He said he did not expect the item in the recently approved bylaw regarding faculty amendments - prerogative in maintaining the intellectual authority of the University - to be invoked on the EPC, "because we've had thinking, vocal stUdents sitting and voting on the committee." Collings said that if faculty members were going to apply any such principle, "it would have been invoked before now." On its own initiative, the EPC already increased the span of student participation within its membership. Bylaws provide for one undergraduate and one graduate student representation, but EPC some time ago added two undergraduates and a second graduate student as voting members of the committee.

The University reached last June 30 with a deficit of $712,000, or four - tenths of 1 per cent of the budget.

With the help of a laparoscope - a long tube with a tiny magnifying lens and light at the end _ scientists W. Richard Dukelow and Dennis A. Jewett determined that the mOnkey was conceived at about 11:10 a.m. on Aug; 13,1970. It was born last Jan. 26. Laparoscopy and other means, including color photography, enables the researchers to observe ovaries of monkeys both before and after pregnancy, and to formulate accurate predictions of ovulation. Dukelow is director of the Endocrine Research Laboratory, and Jewett is a doctoral student in the lab.
