The Minutes of the Meeting of March l2, l984, were approved as circulated.

Chairman Rees recognized Professor Gerald Janecek who presented the following
Memorial Resolution on the death of Professor Paul Glidden Forand.

MEMORIAL RESOLUTION
Paul Glidden Forand l933-l984

“Dr. Paul G. Forand, Associate Professor of Arabic in
the Department of Slavic and Oriental Languages, died in the
Good Samaritan Hospital on March 28 after a lengthy illness.
His many friends and colleagues at the University deeply
mourn his loss to the university community.

Paul was born on May 30, l933 in New Bedford, Massachu-
setts and grew up there, receiving his A.B. Degree from
Harvard College in l955 in the field of Romance Languages.

He then did graduate work at Princeton University, receiving
his Ph.D. in l962 in the field of Oriental Studies. In the
process he was awarded a number of Fulbright and other fellow—
ships under which he studied in Egypt (l955—56) and in London
(l956—57). His dissertation was entitled: ”Military Slavery
in Ninth—Century Baghdad.”

He came to the University of Kentucky in l965 as Assis-

tant Professor of Arabic, after he had served for two years
as Instructor in History in Mundelein College, Chicago. He

*Absence explained

 

 -2-

was promoted to Associate Professor in l969. In l972 he re=
ceived a research grant from the U.S. Office of Education
under which he did work in Cairo, Januarywduly l973. From
l977 to l982 Paul served as Chairman of the Department of
Slavic and Oriental and he had been Director of the Middle
East Civilization Program for the past eleven years. In the
summer of I983 he was chosen to participate in an NEH Seminar
at Harvard.

During his tenure at UK he published a number of scholar“
ly articles in prestigious journals in Arabic Studies and
served on University committees ”too numerous to list.”

This last phrase, which has been drawn from his most recent
curriculum vitae, gives a clue as to the character of a man
who has served the university broadly and well for nearly
twenty years and yet who has shied away from taking credit
for the fact.

In addition, Paul was an understanding teacher of
Arabic and Islamic culture, sympathetic to students' prob—
lems in learning a difficult non-Indoeuropean language the
script for which contains no vowels and looks, as he affec«
tionately referred to it, like ”chicken scratching,” and the
cultural milieu for which was very far from most native Kenn
tuckians' experience. In this regard, Paul was a great
broadener of students' outlooks, providing them with one of
the few opportunities available at UK to savor non—Western
thought patterns. Paul also served as an effective and
personable liaison with the larger local community, both
Arab and non-Arab. In these functions it would be hard to
imagine a better person, and his absence leaves a large gap,
one which we cannot hope to fill so well again.

Indeed, above and beyond his academic attainments and
service to the university, it is the man himself that we
will most miss. There can be few people who knew Paul even
passingly who can have failed to be touched by his kindness
and good humor in some important way. I recall, for instance,
when I suddenly received a position at UK in mid-August of
l97l straight out of graduate school, and arrived at the
Coliseum to fulfill my first official duty by sitting at pre«
registration, that Paul was on duty ahead of me. Instead of
hurrying off with relief, he stayed for nearly an hour to
chat, to get to know me and fill me in on the university and
its ways. I returned home that day feeling very welcomed.
Others can recount innumerable similar or better examples.
It is these things that are perhaps the highest measure of
a man, who by his actions gave meaning to the words of the
great Arabic poet Achaarri:

A church, a temple, or a Kaba Stone,
Koran or Bible or a martyr's bone—-

All these and more my heart can tolerate
Since my religion now is Love alone.

(Prepared by Gerald Janecek, Slavic and Oriental Languages)

Professor Janecek requested that the Resolution be made a part of these minutes
and copies be sent to the family. He also invited everyone to a Memorial Service in
honor of Dr. Forand on Wednesday, April ll at 4:00 p.m. in the University Library
Gallery. Chairman Rees asked the senators to stand for a moment of silence in tribute
and respect to Professor Forand.

The Chairman made the following announcements:

“At the last regular meeting of the University Senate, the
ombudsman makes a report. Last year it did not seem wise to do
so and this year we are faced with the same situation. Dr.
Ellinger will give his ombudsman report at our September meet—
ing. The ombudsman's term extends until the first of July.
Consequently, there is ongoing business at this time and the
statistics for the entire year cannot be available. I think
the senate ought to consider changing the time for the annual
report.

The second announcement is that Professor Constance Wilson
has been reelected to the Board of Trustees. We congratulate
her.

Because of unfinished business that should go into effect
at the beginning of the academic year in August, it will be nec—
essary to have a special meeting of the University Senate.
Unless there is some overriding objection that meeting will be
held on Wednesday, April 25 at 3:00 p.m. in this room. The items
of business at that time will include a proposal for a new grad—
ing system which will be plus and minus. We will vote on that
in two parts. One is whether or not we want to go for a plus
and minus and if so, which particular system we would like to
have. A specific system is proposed by the committee on Aca—
demic Admissions and Standards.

There is also an admissions policy for the College of Engi-
neering. Also a proposal for probation and suspension rules in
the College of Allied Health and similar rules for the College
of Engineering will be on the agenda.

Those are the main items of business and the proposals are
of such a nature that they must be implemented at the beginning
of an academic year. Not to act on these at a special meeting
wouldtmean that implementation would have to wait for over a
yearl

Chairman Rees recognized Professor John Stephenson for a general education report.
Professor Stephenson has been the Chairman of the General Education Committee. Other
committee members are: William Y. Adams, Anthropology; Raymond Betts, Honors Program;
Connie Bridge, Education; Lawrence Busch, Sociology; James Chapman, Academic Affairs;

Chairman Rees thanked Professor Stephenson and asked for questions and discussion
from the floor. Professor Gesund felt that engineering and technology were dominate
forces in our civilization these days, and there was nothing in the report about engi»
neering technology or how students could be brought into the world of these modern
fields. He felt the well rounded university graduate ought to be relatively familiar
with engineering and technology processes and how new technology is designed and
brought into being. Professor Stephenson said it was hard to see what was in the
categories from the way they were presented because they were basically labels at this
point. He said the committee's intention was to examine the role of technology and
its influence on civilization. Professor Gesund said that with physics and other
sciences the students were exposed to a couple of courses in those fields. He would
like to see all students exposed to courses taught by engineers as introductory engiw
neering courses so that students would get some idea of what the thought processes
involved. Professor Stephenson agreed there was an important role for the discussion
and knowledge of technology and engineering. He was not sure of the best way to do it
but invited Professor Gesund's input. Professor Rea thought there was a course a few
years ago in the history of technology taught by Professor Lienhard.

Professor McEllistrem endorsed strongly the concept of providing some scheme for
having an integrated approach to general education. He was not persuaded that the
resources were here. He found that the teaching assistants provided a very valuable
input to the young students in those service courses and they related more effectively
than the regular faculty. Professor Stephenson said Professor McEllistrem was ex-=
actly right about the resources, not the absence of them but the way they were allo-
cated. He added it was hard to imagine a general education program that did not make
good use of all the good teaching talent the University has——not only with TAs but
with part-time faculty as well.

Professor Perreiah wanted to know how broadly the committee conceived of the
mathematical skill requirement. He wanted to know if the committee wanted strictly
mathematical courses which are directly related to computation skills or in a broader
framework. Professor Stephenson said the committee's inclination was directed toward
fairly specific kinds of quantitative reasoning as mathematical and algebraic skills.

Chairman Rees said a specific proposal on general education would be coming before
the senate, probably in parts so that discussion could be focussed.

Professor Neil asked if a foreign language would be required of all students.
Professor Stephenson said a language would be required. He asked that comments, sugges—
tions and questions be in writing or a phone call to anyone on the committee would do.
He suggested also that anyone would be welcome to make an appearance before the
committee. There are going to be three more meetings before the year ends. His wish
was that the same committee would continue.

Professor Stephenson thanked the senate for letting him have the opportunity of
being there on behalf of the committee. Chairman Rees thanked Professor Stephenson
and the senate gave him an enthusiastic applause.

The first action item involved a change in the University Senate Rules. Chairman
Rees recognized Professor Robert Bostrom. Professor Bostrom, on behalf of the Senate
Council, recommended approval of the proposed change in University Senate Rules, Sec—
tion 1., 3.3.2 relative to the Composition of the Undergraduate Council. This change
had been circulated to members of the senate under date of March 27, l984.

 

Professor Rees said the proposal was to make sure there would be a voting member
of the Community College System on the Undergraduate Council. There was no discussion
or questions and the proposal, which passed unanimously, reads as follows:

Proposal: [add underlined portion; delete bracketed portion]

1., 3.3.2 Composition

It shall consist of fifteen (l5) [fourteen (l4)] members.
Nine of the members shall be elected by the faculty

of colleges, groups of colleges or parts of colleges as
follows: (US: lO/l2/8l)

One member from the combined areas of Literature and
Philosophy in the College of Arts and Sciences, the
College of Fine Arts, and the Honors Program. One
member from the combined areas of Biological and
Physical Sciences in the College of Arts and Sciences.

 

 -14-

One member from the combined areas of the Social
Sciences in the College of Arts and Sciences and the
College of Communications. One member from the
College of Agriculture, One member from the College
of Education. One member from the College of Business
and Economics. One member from the combined Colleges
of Architecture, Social Work, and Home Economics. One
member from the combined Colleges of Allied Health,
Nursing, and Pharmacy.

Of the six_[five] remaining members, one shall be
appointed by the Senate Council. Qne_member shall be
appointed by the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs
for the Community College System to represent the
needs and problems of the Community College System.
Four members shall be appointed by the Vice Chancellor
for Academic Affairs, Lexington Campus, with the
advice and consent of the Undergraduate Council. Of
these four, two shall be faculty members from colleges
eligible to have representation on the Undergraduate
Council, and the remaining two shall be undergraduate
students from eligible colleges. (US: lO/l2/8l)

 

 

Rationale

In the context of this proposal it should be noted that
another Senate Rule (IV., 2.l.2) states ”grades, credits,
quality points and academic status from courses taken

in the University of Kentucky Community College shall be
transferred when the Community College student enrolls

in the University System.” This Rule makes obvious the
need for Community College representation on the
Undergraduate Council in order to assure that there exist
as much compatibility as possible between similar courses
in the Community College System and the University
System.

Implementation Date: Fall, l984.

Chairman Rees recognized Professor Robert Bostrom to present the proposed change
in University Senate Rules, Section I., 3.3.l and Section III., 2.0 relative to Review
gf_Programs. On behalf of the Senate Council Professor Bostrom recommended approval.
This change had been circulated to the senate members under date of March 28, l984.
Professor Bostrom said that basically the proposal stemmed from the Undergraduate Council
to bring their description of procedure and practice in line with those of the Graduate
Council. The significant part was that the Council may recommend the suspension of a

particular program. The second part was to add that such suspension must be approved
by the Senate Council.

The floor was opened for questions and discussion. Professor Rea was curious about
what would happen after five years when there was no provision for termination. Prox
fessor Bostrom said the proposal had been left deliberately ambiguous in that after five
years a program could be reproposed or left to die. Professor Rea felt the proposal imm
plied that after five years the program would automatically come to life.

 

 . -l5—

Professor Gesund wanted to know what would happen to faculty if a program were
suspended. If a program were terminated, presumably the faculty would be moved out.
Chairman Rees said it would depend upon the program and sometimes the faculty could be
used elsewhere. Professor Gesund felt the issue should be addressed at some time.
Chairman Rees felt that meanwhile some procedural device was needed to handle suspension
of programs; the proposal addresses that issue only.

Professor Canon felt there was confusion between departments, educational units,
and programs. Suspension of a degree program does not in any way suspend the depart-
ment in an educational unit. The unit may teach courses but simply not offer a degree.
The proposal was trying to accommodate the College of Education where programs are
numerous and the college is seeking to suspend a couple of programs. Chairman Rees
said that some graduate programs had been suspended without a loss of faculty.

Professor Canon asked, on behalf of Dean Royster, about the statement under
Section 111., 2.0 “including suspension or termination of programs.” It seemed to him
that the rationale and background indicated that the thrust was for suspension and
termination for undergraduate programs to be reviewed by the Senate Council. He wanted
to know if it included graduate programs.

Chairman Rees asked that discussion presently be restricted to the first part of
the proposal. He said faculty members were not assigned to programs but to an educa-
tional unit. Chairman Rees added that the question now was whether or not the senate
was satisfied to add the change to the Undergraduate Council charge in order to give a
mechanism for dealing with suspension of undergraduate programs. ‘

The proposal on Section C Review of Programs passed and reads as follows:

Proposal: (to add a new section to Functions of the Undergraduate
Council) ’

(c) Review of Programs: It shall review the summary re—
ports of undergraduate program reviews prepared by
the academic unit review committees. It shall parti-
cipate directly in the review of undergraduate pro-
grams upon the request of the Chancellor or Vice
Chancellor of Academic Affairs of the sector responsi—
ble for the program. Following either such review,
it may recommend appropriate action to maintain
acceptable levels of academic quality to the Vice
Chancellor for academic affairs of the sector in-
volved. Such a recommendation may include the
suspension of a program to a maximum of five years
and the lifting of such a suspension. All recomenda—
tions relating to imposing or lifting suspensions of
programs shall be approved by the Senate Council.

An undergraduate program, through its chairman or
other appropriate administrative officer, may appeal

a decision to suspend the undergraduate program to

the Chancellor of its
