The following resolution is approved with comment:
Ilo

(80-%5) The charge to the Faculty Affairs Committee who will report
to the Faculty Senate not later than September of 1980 con-
cerning harassment of faculty by students. It is true that
no task force had been charged with the particular task of
reviewing this concern, the General Faculty Task Force is
charged with the development or review of faculty life within
the university community. This particular concern has been
passed along to them for inclusion in their study.

I believe that the Faculty Affairs Committee should look into

the matter to ascertain how extensive the problem is and cer-
tainly to investigate and make recommendations as to procedures

to deal with the situation. I must confess that when I saw a
"system of redress of grievances," I felt a little like George III
receiving a communique from the Continental Congress! I hope

you will excuse the historian in me.

Actually, I believe that the Faculty Affairs Committee should
address the entire question of student academic discipline.

I have always believed that matters of academic discipline
should remain within the academic division of the institution.
If the Faculty Affairs Committee would like, I would be happy
to share my views more specifically with them.

singgrely Yours, 4
