Leroy Augenstein Vol. 1, No.7 Michigan State University Nov. 11 , 1969 Teaching Code lists • responsibilities SlX The Code of Teaching Responsibility, submitted by the Educational Policies Committee, was adopted by the Academic Council at its meeting- last Tuesday. * * * The teaching responsibilities of the instructional staff are among those many areas of university life which have for generations been a part of the unwritten code of "scholars and gentlemen." Now, however, along with other formerly unwritten contracts, it seems appropriate to set forth these responsibilities in the form of a code. The provisions of such a code are so reasonable to learned and humane men that it may appear · redundant or unnecessary to state them. However, to be so the University conceives important that the them performance of the instructional staff in meeting the provisions of this code shall be in determining salary increases, tenure, and promotion. in to consideration taken * * * 1. instruction Instructional staff members are responsible for stating clearly ' the instructional objectives of each course they teach at the beginning of each term. It is expected that each instructional staff member will direct his the toward fulfillment of these objectives and that examinations will be consistent with these objectives. Instructional staff members are .responsible to orient the content of the courses they are assigned to teach to the course descriptions approved by the University Curriculum Committee and the Academic Council. 2. Instructional staff members are responsible for informing students in their classes of the methods to be employed in determining the final course grade and of any special requirements of attendance which differ from the attendance policy of the University. 3. It is expected that graded examinations and papers will be provided to the student for inspection and discussion. Thus, fmal examinations will be retained for one term to We take the fifth A story in last week's Faculty News erroneously said that in the Big Ten "MSU ranks highest in its resident tuition and fees and sixth in nonresident tuition and fees."

We regret the typographical error. . provide the opportunity for review with the instructor, if the student so desires. It is expected that examinations will be graded within a sufficiently appropriate time to make the examination a part of the student's learning experience. 4. All instruction31 staff members are expected to meet their classes regularly and at scheduled times. In case of illness or any other emergency, the instructor will notify the department chairman so that appropriate action may be taken. 5. All instructional staff members whose responsibilities involve students are expected to schedule a reasonable number of office hours for student conferences. Office hours should be scheduled at times convenient to both students and the additional option of prearranged appointments for students when there is a schedule conflict. The number of office hours is to be determined at the appropriate administrative level, and office hours should be a matter of common knowledge. instructors with 6.

Students wishing to appeal a departmental action or recommendation may' do so as outlined in Provision 2.2.8.1 of "The Academic Freedom Report": "These departmental and college committees shall be the sole agencies for hearing complaints of this kind. A studenl may appeal the ruling of a departmental committee to the college committee. But there shall be no appeal beyond the college committee except to the dean of the college, who may ask, upon a showing, that a given case be reconsidered." Acting President Walter Adams said: ··Dr. Augenstein lived an exciting life, combining a fervid interest in education and politics. Both as a faculty member at MSU and a member of the State Board of Education, he worked untiringly fOr'what he believed to be the public good. His peripatetic presence will be missed in every hamlet in the state of Michigan." *** as Since coming to Michigan seven yean ago the newly chairman of established biophysics department, Mr. Augenstein became well-known throughout the state. Within two years he had organized a small but diversified department and secured substantial federal grants to support its research and to construct offices and laboratories for it in the new Chemistry Building. At the same time, he was personally active in research on the biophysical , the brain processes basis by which information and on the mechanisms by which radiation damages biological matter. Mr. Augenstein also found time to devote to his abiding concern for bridging the gaps that divide science ~ religion and politics.

'Library is nothing more than reflection of faculty' --Chapin By BARBARA McINTOSH Assistant News Bureau Editor ··The library is nothing more than a reflection of the faculty." This is the view of MSU's director of libraries, Richard E. Chapin. He says that his door is always open to faculty, and he emphasizes that "to meet the faculty's specific curricular and research needs, we must have their cooperation." Chapin adds: "We are able to acquire important works on current .the usual · most research through ·bibliographical chain.' But we do not get pamphlets, mimeographs and reports from associations or conferences. We h~e no way of finding out about these materials unless faculty members tell us." In the past the faculty built the library. But now, because of the vast number of sources, only library officials the means available to get all have current publications, Chapin says. He also holds faculty rahk as a professor of journalism. ··We need the faculty's assistance, really good, to build a however, complete library."

(The following reports were gathered by Mike Born, Gail Morris and Gene Rietfors.) In spite of the Massey Report's selback in the Academic Council, there is Rttle doubt that most Council members favor at least some measure of student participation in academic government. the degree gf "The rub, I think, comes in trying to prescribe that participation for the whole University," said Richard E. Sullivan, professor of history and a member of the Steering Committee. Nearly a year after being called together, the ad hoc Committee on Student Participation in Academic (chaired by Gerald J. Government Massey), saw its report stalled in the Council. Five sessions produced action on only three of the report's 15 recommendations. A reconstituted committee, headed by James McKee, professor of sociology, is to report back to the Council in two months. It may seem ironic that the motion to refer the Massey Report back to committee came from a student, Gina Schack, who served on the ad hoc committee. The question of student voting rights in the Council prompted formation of the committee in the first place. But Miss Schack said she had good reason to end debate on the Report. some ,bad "I sensed feelings developing," ,she explained. "A lot of views and objections were raised that we hadn't counted on. There is a need now to better understand some of these views and challenges raised the Council." in * * * A Faculty News sampling of Council members from nine colleges reveals degrees of dissatisfaction _ with the Massey Report on its tWo counts: rationale (some contend that it lacked a rationale) and its attempts to assign specific numbers of students to standing committees (some felt the committees would be too large and unwieldy). One faculty member said that the key issue--defining student participation-was not squarely faced. Several endorsed the idea of soliciting student views and opinion, but they student expressed concern participation was being equated with student power in matters for which facuIty would be held responsible. that And a few insisted that to consider only student participation is to avoid total question of university the governance. Eldon Nonnamaker, associate dean of students (not on the Council but a member of the Massey Committee), said that he favors greater student participation as outlined in the Report. But he added: "My contention stili is that ... we need to look at the whole problem of university government and develop a structure to deal with the whole thing. The Report was just a stop-gap measure." * * * Most facuIty in our sample supported voting privileges for students in the Council, that student membership remains at or near its present level of three. provided Those tending to favor the student included Sullivan; Charles C. vote Killingsworth, College of Social Science; William E. Sweetland, education; W. Fred Graham, Justin Morrill College; Beatrice Paolucci, home economics; and Steven Spees, Lyman Briggs College. "I would have no difficulty at all agreeing to the vote for the present number of students on the .Council," Killingsworth said. "But if you have, say, 20 students, you shift the balance of power significantly." Spees said: ''The Council is supposed to represent faculty opinion. When you start adding students, you are changing its nature." Sweetland favored students voting in the Council, noting, "I know how it is to attend meetings and not be able to students' vote." Graham endorsed voting: students have become in serious matters, they have done well." A t campuses across the nation students are steadily gaining more say in academic government. Examples of this larger student range from token gestures restructuring of some to complete institution's governing system. Generally speaking, four these developments forms: take presidential advisory council composed of students; voting membership on university committees; voting rights in the faculty senate; and all-uniyersity legislative groups composed equally or proportionally of students, faculty and administrators. The fourth, more radical departure from traditional procedures , is now in effect at two universities.

''To have a vote is not necessarily to be well-represented . . . I want to be sure I understand what the basis for ' student particpation is, and then I can agree on the details for implementing it." Miss Paolucci, professor of family and child sciences, observed: "It was never explained why students ought to have the kind of representation they were asking for. There is also a philosophical question: How much sho~ld they have? "One of the neglected ~spects of the question is accountability. Faculty are held accountable . . . to the people of Michigan and also to the students."

The council is to be the college's chief deliberative and legislative body responsible for long-range planning and directing the activities of the entire college community. At the University of New Hampshire a unicameral system of government is evolving. Composition of a new University Senate includes an equal number of students and faculty all nominated on a "district" basis. * * * Restructuring- at the University of Kansas will result in a Faculty Senate, Student Senate and a joint group to be known as the University Senate. Such "community government" plans are also being considered or developed at the State University of New York at Binghamton and at Columbia University. At SUNY, a policy-making university assembly with a ratio of five faculty members to three students to two administrators would govern. Less startling but significant steps toward including students in academic affairs have also been taken on many other campuses.

I Two • ·Vlews of student governing role Garfinkel: Com bination needed Herbert Garfmkel, professor of political science and dean of James Madison CoUege, wrote a substitute preamble to the Massey Report. He introduced and later withdrew it at the Oct. 14 meeting of the Academic Council. Garfmkel plans to submit it to' reconstituted Committee on the Student Participation in Academic Government. Following are excerpts from that preamble. • ... It is necessary that the University ' provide specific and appropriate means whereby student ideas, responses and proposals can be brought to bear upon the policy-making processes of Michigan State University and its constituent parts. What are appropriate means? These derive from a proper understanding of the distinctive roles of faculty and students as members of an academic community. * * * The Trustees have delegated to the faculty responsibility for determining and maintaining academic standards and establishing a curriculum from which to recommend awarding of degrees. The reasons for this traditional allocation of authority derive from the nature of a university faculty. They are selected on the basis of professional competency as tenured scholars. And faculty the provide the coptinuing body of scholars, who are entrusted with maintaining the long-run interests of the University ... * * * The appropriate role of students in academic policy deliberations is to bring forward views which are peculiarly those of students and to participate as learners in the processes of educational policy-making. But it must be observed that student roles are limited by the fact that they are always short-range with limited the University. to commitments Moreover, there are always temptations , to satisfy shOTt-run interests; that is, to yield to opportunities to buy diplomas cheaply at the cost of academic standards ... Herbert Garfmkel Also, certain decisions entail a special competency, such as determinations of faculty appointments, retention, promotions, tenure and remuneration. Student advice should be sought with respect to faculty performance, but in a manner which makes clear that this is an advisory role on one aspect of these' decisions, and in a private manner which is decently protective of the personal reputation of the individuals undergoing an evaluation. Au thoritative decision-m3k:ing on academic policy for the University as a whole ultimately must be a faculty judgment. * * * Questions such as the following need consideration: Students should serve on which committees, exercising which functions, in what way, with or without votes, in what proportion? . . . What is needed is the right combination of faculty respon'sibility for academic standards with genuine avenues for channeling student ideas and proposals into the policy-making processes of the University. Bettinghaus: Toward a community of scholars Here, then, are some criteria we might consider in planning a role for students in academic government: I. Students ought to be selected through normal academic levels, not current student government channels .. Erwin P.Bettinghaus, professor and assistant dean of communication arts, was a member of the Massey Committee on Student Participation in Academic Government. He is the ooly faculty holdover from the Massey Committee to the reconstituted committee chaired by James McKee; Following are excerpts from a Bettinghaus speech, '''The Role of in Academic Government," delivered Oct. 24 at the Midwestern Regional Conference of Academic Affairs Administrators at Kellogg Center. the Student 2. Students ought to be selected on the same basis as faculty committees for committees and legislative bodies ... If faculty are elected. by their peers, so should students be. If students are to meaningfully participate . : . they must be willing to develop machinery to insure the perpetuation of students on academic bodies. 3. Meaningful numbers of students must be allowed to participate in the academic decision-making process . . . The more voices that can be effectively added to discussion and consideration of academic matters, the more likely it is that we will arrive at sound decisions. 4. Students should be given voting privileges on committees of which they lire members ... We are not likely to get . responsible behavior from students who have the privilege of talking all they want, but who do not have to share the responsibility .for the decisions finally made. 5. Students must be given in all aspects of responsibilities academic government, not merely those they feel strongly about. 6. Students and faculty alike must recognize that they are represent~tives of an institution that truly beloQgs to the people of their state, not simply to either the students of the moment or to the representatives of a particular discipline or college. 'faculty that suggests • . The very complexity of modern education the proper student role in the academic governing process be carefully examined. Current student participation has frequently been the result of a response to student demands, or as an attempt to "quiet down" a restive student body. Institutions have acted without clear guidelines, without knowledge of what contributions students can make, and without setting criteria that might guide an entire institution in developing an effective academic government. Students, on the other hand, have frequently asked to participate in the academic decision-making process without clear knowledge of how that process works, or where they might most effectively contribute the process. to * * * If we are not to become a collection of unionized employes with faculty, administrators, graduate students and students all belonging to different unions, we must make moves to strengthen the unity of the University, not its diversity. That unity can best be through development of emphasized stron g student-faculty-administrator governing bodies at all levels of the University - bodies charged with the development of a community of scholars. Erwin Bettinghaus . I do not mean to depreciate the efforts of student governments, but merely to suggest that academic governing bodies ought to be composed of representatives from academic units. Community Chest drive needs push rhe University has raised 74.2 per cent of its quota in this year's United Community Chest campaign. But there was a note of cautious campus chairman optimism Armand L. Hunter in reporting pledges of $137,578.50. from "Although we appear to be on schedule, the fact is that we are running out of time if we expect to meet our quota of $185,299," Hunter said. "Pledges are still coming in, but not at rate the weeks." they were the first three Hunter urged all faculty and staff who have not contributed, and who wish to do so, to contact their division chairmen as soon as possible. that He also announced seven divisions had reached 100 per cent of their quota: Business, Communication Arts, Home Economics, Lyman Briggs, Secretary's Office, University Business Office and University Relations.

The industry'is on the verge of a breakthrough, however, and as the reduction rate becomes smaller there will be research material never before available." He also forsees better use of computer technology and materials other than books. Single concept fIlms and audio materials will become basic in program learning. Already faculty members are able to tape record lectures for playback in the audio library on the fourth floor of the main library. Chapin expressed optimism regarding funds for continuing growth. "The University does not have a choice. We must set a priority for increased funds. Everyone in the University depends on the library." "You never have a great university until you have a great library." Part IV: Law school's needs Part IV of the Proposal for a College of Law at Michigan State discusses one need of a law school here: the faculty. The final portions of the proposal - discussing library, space and facilities, and students - will be presented in a future Faculty News. (In the Oct. 14 issue which listed members of the committee drafting the the name of Charles P. proposal, Larrowe was inadvertently omitted. He is a professor of economics.) * * * m. The Basic Needs for Establishing a College of Law The quality of a new College of Law depends on four factors: (1) the quality of the faculty and, in the initial stages, the time, effort and imagination they are allowed to devote to planning for the College, (2) the quality of the h"brary, (3) the adequacy of the space and facilities for the College, and (4) qualified students committed -to public service through law. that faculty A.

(Continued from page one) they also present potential dangers and threaten loss of individual liberty. He said that crucial decisions must be made about these matters rationally and morally and that only a scientifically literate, well-informed public can make such decisions. The nature of the decisions, he maintained, means that man in a sense will have to "play God." Earlier this year, Harper ,and Row published, his book, "Come, Let Us Play God." Many of his speaking engagements were before church groups and, on occasion, he preached from the pUlpit of Peoples Church. He was featured recently in a seri~s of 26 half-hour television programs dealing with science and moral and ethical decisions. Mr. Augenstein was frequently involved in public issues, many on scientific matters. He was known as a, proponent of sex education and a crusader against drug abuse by juveniles. Just before the recent moon landing, he iriitiated a campaign to tighten the planned precautions to avoid possible contamination by moon viruses or other organisms. He was unable to change previously established procedures but he said he feIt that the campaign would mean better precautions in subsequent flights. Mr. Augenstein was born March 6, 1928, in Decatur, IlL He attended James Milliken College, served in the Army as an X-ray technician, and enrolled at the University of Chicago, where he received the B.S. in physics in 1949. He then moved to the University of IDinois and received the M.A. degree in physics in 1954 and a Ph.D. in 1956. Mr. Augenstein is survived by his widow, Elizabeth; a son David Leroy, 4; I; his a daughter, Kimberly Beth, parents, Mr. and Mrs. Roy H. Augenstein of Decatur, and a brother, David, also of Decatur. Private interment will be Wednesday in Evergreen Cemetery in Lansing. On Augenstein's work at MSU, Richard U. Byerrum, dean of natural science" described the late biophysicist . as an "active seier. tist" 'who conducted a "very productive rese~rch program." He noted that the biophysics department was built by Augenstein into a successful operation that attracted much outside researph support. "It is a big los~," Byerrum said. Said Andrew D. Hunt Jr., dean of human medicine: - "Augenstein established a productive and effective Department of Biophysics. He was a man of extraordinary talent who lent great eclat to the University and presented exciting and unusual points of viewtostudents in the health professions. " Faculty honors, projects David D.
