Faculty members voted Monday to defer action on the resolution adopted May 20 by the
University Senate, a body comprised of faculty and administrators.
The resolution, which expressed confidence in the fairness of Dr. Judson Foust, president of CMU, as well as deploring "the repeated efforts of a
minority group to make a public
spectacle of those honest differences which are likely to
arise. . . ," was tabled by a vote
of 168-90.
During the meeting George
Lauer, registrar, asked that
committees be appointed to
examine these areas of disagreement: "employment policies, orderly dismissal, working conditions, academic free-
d o m, democratic processes
and interpretations of faculty
participation in the governance of the university."
No action was taken regarding Lauer's proposal.
Charles Westie, president of
the local chapter of the AAUP,
said following the meeting, "As
a member of this academic community and as an alumnus, I
take pride in the outcome of
Monday's meeting. When presented with the issues, the men
and women of the faculty made
a decision which was, in effect,
a vote of confidence in the university."
Wilbur Moore, vice president
of academic affairs, gave the
following statement after the
meeting, "Though differences
in point-of-view often arise in
an academic community, the decision of the faculty on important issues is sought and welcome. I have every confidence
in the basic good intentions and
the desires of the faculty and
administration to work together
for a strong university."
