Agenda Item 5C: Report of Faculty Affairs Committee Ione Ryan, member of the Faculty Affairs Committee, reported, as mandated by the Senate, (Resolution 80-16) on the results of a memorandum con- cerning student harassment of faculty sent to all faculty members by the Committee. The memo also indicated the procedures presently available to faculty in obtaining redress of such harassment. Only three responses to the memo were received. Moreover Dean Mallory, Associate Dean of Orientation and Judiciary, indicated that only two cases have been re- ported to his office. Both cases were settled to the satisfaction of the faculty involved. Mr. Caulder, head of Campus Security, told the Conm- mittee that approximately two cases are reported to him annually. In view of these findings and the limited response to the Committee's memo, the Committee felt that no change in the present procedure for reporting cases of student harassment would be warranted and, until the situation changes, felt no further action should be taken. Agenda Item 5D: Report of University Curriculum Committee The Faculty Senate approved the following curriculum changes: 1. Revision of B.S.B.A. (see University Curriculum Committee Minutes of October 16, 1980). 2.
