The minutes of the November 10, 1975 meeting were accepted as circulated.

Chairman Krislov made the following remarks to the Senate concerning the
informational items on the agenda.

In the past few years we have tended to wait until the second semester
to appoint a Search Committee for the Academic Ombudsman. However, we feel
it would be better to move as quickly as possible so that individuals can be
approached and can make plans to serve as Ombudsman. We asked President
Singletary to name a Chairperson and he named Dr. James E. Criswell. The
Senate Council will be selecting its faculty member on December 12th. We
will also receive names for the faculty member and student member to be
selected from the membership of the Student Affairs Committee. We have
asked Student Government to nominate their members and we hope to have the
Committee fully constituted by next semester so that it will be operative
in the early part of the semester. You should be thinking about candidates
for this important position.

The Committee on Suspension of Graduate Programs has been constituted
and a Chairperson has been selected, namely, Dr. Sidney Ulmer. The other
members are Professors Schwert, Knoblett, Silberstein, Ford, Rudd, and Dean
Stephenson. The Committee is formulating a change in the University Senate
Rules, which will be brought to the Senate for approval, and it will be pleased
to receive any suggestions or comments from you.

Since Professor William Peters, Chairman.0f the Committee on Admissions
and Academic Standards, will be on sabbatical leave for the Spring Semester,
1976, he has resigned and Professor Patricia Horridge has accepted the
Chairmanship of that Committee. Professor Peters planned his schedule so that
the work of that Committee was current when he announced his resignation.
However, since then somesuggestions have been received from the Rules Committee.
These suggestions have been transmitted to Professor Horridge and I want to
tell you about them.

*Absence explained.

MINUTES OF THE UNIVERSITY SENATE, DECEMBER 8, 1975

\
Two areas have been and continue to be very troublesome. One is the [
definition of a professional college. We have asked the Committee on Admissions ‘
and Academic Standards to attempt to define that more carefully. We have also «*
asked them to review all the Rules regarding admissions and academic standards ﬁlm
which apply to undergraduates, to determine what aspects of these Rules can i
apply to graduate and professional students. We have problems with rules
concerning graduate and professional students. The Academic Ombudsman handles l
many cases, some of which involve possible litigation. Hence, the Rules
Committee feels that an investigation might lead to a clarification in a
number of areas. If any of you have any suggestions, please send them to
Professor Horridge. y

I wish to announce that the Rules Committee has approved the Student Govern— I
ment's procedures for the apportionment of the student members of the University 1
Senate for 1976—77.

The Chairman moved to the first action item on the agenda, that of the Resolution ‘
on Smoking which had been circulated to the faculty under date of November 26, l975.
The current Safety Rules and Regulations for the University were circulated to the [
Senators, and read as follows: ﬂ)“

V. Smoking Regulations: .

Smoking is prohibited in designated areas as a precaution against
starting fires, damages to floor covering, and to prevent annoyance to non—
smokers. l

(KRS 227.300) and the National Fire Protection Association which is adopted
by reference in the Standards of Safety, and by an ordinance of the city of
Lexington.

The following rules are included in the State Standard of Safety ‘

1. Smoking is prohibited in assemblies (200 persons or more), which
would include large classrooms.

2. Smoking is prohibited at all times in theaters, museums, gymnasiums, r.
laboratories, elevators, shops, or any volatile storage area. ‘Qﬂ‘

3. Smoking is permitted in offices, lounges, restrooms, and certain
corridors where ash receptacles or urns are present to receive
discarded smoking materials.

4. Do not throw discarded smoking materials out of a window, on floors,
or anywhere except in an ash receptacle.

5. In our buildings, safety regulations must be observed for the
protection of everyone. It is dangerous and irresponsible to risk ‘
the lives of all for the pleasure of a few. Faculty members should
not violate the regulations nor permit students to do so.

However, if an instructor feels compelled to allow his students to smoke, f
should at least restrict this to an area outside the classroom. Not to f

MINUTES OF THE UNIVERSITY SENATE, DECEMBER 8, 1975

eliminate or curtail smoking is to ignore the feeling of many students, some of
whom are reluctant to complain to a professor about how irritating and un— 31
healthy they find a smoke—filled classroom to be. 3i

l
1
‘ Enforcement of these regulations in many areas will be a matter of l
academic discipline. When smoking receptacles are not available, ”N0 l
SMOKING" signs are needed. If there are questions on safe areas for this
r purpose, the University Safety Department will be glad to assist in this
problem.

‘ :;;;..;:;..u...... ,2.

Chairman Krislov recognized Dr. Jack Blanton, Vice President for Business Affairs, who
{ spoke to those safety rules as follows:

\ I was asked today by Dr. Krislov to present to the Senate the

‘fl University's regulations concerning smoking on campus. The only regulation
ha. I am aware of is found in the University's Safety Manual which was revised
~ “ in 1974. We have made available to you an excerpt from this Manual which

has been approved by the Board of Trustees. As you can read in this hand—

out smoking is prohibited in assemblies of 200 persons or more, which include

1 large classrooms. Smoking is prohibited at all times in theaters, museums, /,

I gymnasiums, laboratories, elevators, shops, or any volatile storage area. I;
It is our interpretation of these Rules that smoking is permitted in class—

! rooms of less than 200 students. The Administration will exert maximum
effort to enforce the existing rules. Enforcement of these rules, however,

‘ requires the cooperation of the faculty and the students.

If the University Senate acts on the matter of smoking in the class— ‘

room (and I refer to the Resolution you will consider) I think it is . : ﬂ
important for the Senate to distinguish between smoking as a matter of W
health and safety, and smoking as a distraction in the academic process. 5
If the Senate wishes to approach this question as a matter of health and ’
safety, it would appear the proper course of action would be for it to {
‘&M~ make recommendations to the President and the Board of Trustees. If the

Senate approaches the smoking question as a distraction and detriment to
‘V the learning process, it would appear the Board of Trustees has delegated
this matter to the Senate for its disposition. Whichever approach the ‘
Senate takes on this matter, I believe it is important to address the t
‘ question of sanctions or penalties that are to be imposed against those who
{ violate the policy. A regulation that does not include sanctions is of little
help to those attempting to enforce it. For example, would the Senate View L
the violation of the regulation by professors as a violation of the Faculty 1
f Code? Or would it View the violation of the regulation on the part of , .F
( students as an academic violation? I do not pretend to have answers to ’1
these questions. I leave it for your deliberation.

The Resolution as circulated under date of November 18, reads as follows: ,. I»
f The University Senate requests that the Administration enforce a 3
l

r o u I I o a
Q“ No Smoking policy in classrooms, examinations, seminars, faculty, senate
w‘»- and other academic meetings.

MINUTES OF THE UNIVERSITY SENATE, DECEMBER 8, 1975

Chairman Krislov recognized Professor Marjorie Crandall to present the case
for the Resolution.

When I at first suggested this Resolution I did not realize it was
going to be such a volatile issue. I would like to make a short state—
ment in favor of the Resolution to prohibit smoking during University
meetings. But before I begin I would like to thank the members of the
Senate Council who voted in favor of this Resolution so that it could
be considered here today.

Tobacco smoke is unpleasant and a severe annoyance to a large
percentage of people. The smoke is so bad in some classrooms that some
students do not attend meetings simply to avoid the smoke problem. Thus
it should be a matter of administration concern if smoking is interfering
with efficient teaching, or testing, or other University functions. In
addition to being unpleasant, tobacco smoke also contains toxic chemicals.
Non—smokers would prefer not to be exposed to these chemicals. It is
the right of everyone to breathe clean air in public places and for this
reason I hope that you will vote in favor of this Resolution.

Following some questions and discussion, motion was made to amend the Resolution
to read:

The University Senate requests that University instructors enforce

a §9_Smoking policy in the classroom in those instances in which it
has been determined, after consultation with the students in the
class, that smoking will jeopardize or unduly impinge on the learning
process.

The Senate disapproved this amendment.

Motion was made to amend the original Resolution to add the words "establish
and” in the Resolution so that the Resolution would read:
The University Senate requests that the Administration establish
and enforce a §9_Smoking policy in classrooms, examinations, seminars,
faculty, senate and other academic meetings.

The Senate approved this amendment.
Motion was then made to strike the remaining verbiage following the word
”classrooms". By a hand count of 63 to 54 the Senate voted approval of this amend-

ment. The amended Resolution reads:

The University Senate requests that the Administration establish
and enforce a go Smoking policy in classrooms.

A Senator pointed out that assuming this is an administrative matter, the
Senate was asking the Administration to establish an academic policy; and that all
academic matters are delegated to the Senate.

Motion was made to amend the amended Resolution to read:

The University Senate establishes, and requests that the Administration
enforce, a ﬁg Smoking policy in classrooms.

By a hand count of 60 to 33 the Senate voted to approve this amendment to
the amended Resolution.

The Senate then voted to close debate and approved the original Resolution
as amended three times. The Resolution as approved with amendments reads:

The University Senate establishes, and requests that the Administration
enforce, a §9_Smoking policy in classrooms.

Motion was made that the Senate advise the Administration as to whether
this policy is an academic policy, and as to whether the present wording of the
Faculty Code and the Student Code is sufficient to identify the offense and to
establish sanctions.

The Senate voted to refer this motion to the Senate Council.

Chairman Krislov reported that he had been asked to withdraw the Nursing
proposal from the agenda of this meeting and that the proposal, with entire
changes, would be submitted in January or February and would come to the
Senate at that time.

The Chairman moved to the last item on the agenda, that of the Arts and Sciences
reorganization. He called on Dr. Criswell, Chairman of the Committee on Academic

Organization and Structure, who spoke briefly to the proposal.

Dr. Criswell read the following excerpted proposal from the original proposal
from Dean Gallaher and his group, on the Reorganization of the College of Arts and

Sciences.

"We recommend that the Department of Art (currently within the
College of Arts and Sciences) be merged with the College of
Architecture to form a new College of Architecture and Art
(possible alternate labels: College of Design; College of Visual
Arts; College of Creative Arts). A logical corollary to this
recommendation is the suggestion that consideration be given

to the inclusion in this new college of what seem to be related
programs, e.g. Landscape Design (Department of Horticulture,
College of Agriculture) and Interior Design (Department of Housing
and Interior Design, College of Home Economics)."

He then recognized the subcommittee of the over—all committee that had done the
work on the proposal before the Senate, namely, Professor John A. Deacon, Chair—
person; Professors Bobby Ott Hardin; William C. Templeton; Harold Traurig;
O'Neal Weeks; and Ms. Ellen Roehrig.

Dr. Criswell read the introduction and the three recommendations in the
proposal circulated to the faculty under date of November 26, 1975.

Introduction

Acting upon a request by the Senate Council, the Senate Committee on

Academic Organization and Structure has continued, since the fall of 1974,

to study and evaluate recommendations of Dean Art Gallaher for Reorganization
of the College of Arts and Sciences. The Committee has now concluded its

«mucus!» 31:55,. .._. ;_-.-N‘9I..4’.r m

MINUTES OF THE UNIVERSITY SENATE, DECEMBER 8, 1975

investigation of Section II. A. of Dean Gallaher's proposal, a section that
deals with merger of the Department of Art and the College of Architecture
into a new college and a possible realignment of programs in Interior Design ﬂﬂh
and Landscape Architecture within the new unit.

Recommendations:

1. A merger of the Department of Art and the College of Architecture (
should not be implemented at this time. ‘

2. Programs in Interior Design and Landscape Architecture continue in
their present organizational structure.

3. Department of Art remain in the College of Arts and Sciences for the [

present.

Following some discussion, the Senate moved to vote immediately on the three A
Recommendations. Decision was reached to vote separately on each of the three ﬁﬂﬂ‘
recommendations. By the required two—thirds majority, 65 to 24, the Senate ‘W‘

voted to stop debate. 1

The Senate then voted to approve and recommend to the President, Recommendation «

1. that a merger of the Department of Art and the College of Architecture should not I
be implemented at this time. ,
\

The Senate voted approval, and recommendation to the President of Recommendation
2. that the programs in Interior Design and Landscape Architecture continue in their
present organizational structure.

The Senate voted approval, and recommendation to the President of Recommendation I
3. that the Department of Art remain in the College of Arts and Sciences for the I
present. I

The Chair recognized Dr. Betty Rudnick who read the following Resolution: i

WHEREAS Joseph Krislov has served as Chairman of the Senate Council 1%”‘
during the year 1975, ‘

AND WHEREAS he has executed the duties of that office conscientiously,
faithfully, and effectively,

(
AND WHEREAS he has been especially diligent in providing the faculty with [

full and extensive information about all pertinent matters being considered by

the Senate Council and its committees, and has brought his own inimitable [

style of geniality, cheefulness, and good humor to the performance of his
duties,

BE IT RESOLVED that the Senate hereby expresses its appreciation and (
gratitude to Joseph Krislov for his distinguished service as its chairman,
and requests that this resolution be entered in the minutes of this meeting (

The following rules are included in the State Standard of
Safety (KRS 227.300) and the National Fire Protection Association
which is adopted by reference in the Standards of Safety, and by
an ordinance of the city of Lexington.

1. Smoking is prohibited in assemblies (200 persons or
more), which would include large classrooms.

2. Smoking is prohibited at all times in theaters,
museums, gymnasiums, laboratories, elevators, shops,
or any volatile storage area.

Smoking is permitted in offices, lounges, restrooms,
and certain corridors where ash receptacles or urns
are present to receive discarded smoking materials.

Do not throw discarded smoking materials out of a

window, on floors, or anywhere except in an ash
receptacle.

In our buildings, safety regulations must be observed
for the protection of everyone. It is dangerous and
irresponsible to risk the lives of all for the pleasure
of a few. Faculty members should not violate the
regulations nor permit students to do so.

However, if an instructor feels compelled to allow his
students to smoke, he should at least restrict this to an area
outside of the classroom. Not to eliminate or curtail smoking
is to ignore the feeling of many students, some of whom are
reluctant to complain to a professor about how irritating and
unhealthy they find a smoke—filled classroom to be.

Enforcement of these regulations in many areas will be a
matter of academic discipline. When smoking receptacles are not
available, "NO SMOKING" signs are needed. If there are questions
on safe areas for this purpose, the University Safety Department
will be glad to assist in this problem.
