 3268 Minutes of the University Senate, November 29, 1971 — cont

On behalf of the Senate Council, Professor Garrett Flickinger, acting
for the Secretary of the Senate Council, presented the following two
motions for the consideration of the Senate. These two recommendations
had been circulated to the faculty under date of October 6, 1971.

1. Add to Section I., B. 2. Meetings, Rules of the University Senate

 

(Revised and Updated May 1971), page 4, the—following paragraph:

Twenty-five per cent (25%) of those members of the University
Senate present and voting or the Chairman can order a vote be
taken by roll call. A motion for roll call vote shall be
privileged, undebatable and cannot be amended.

2. Add the following sentence in the same section:
No motion may be laid on the table.

A student Senator presented a recommendation that the second motion be
amended to read ”No motion may be laid on the table indefinitely.” By

way of clarification he stated that this proposed amendment would still
allow a motion to lay on the table temporarily, definitely, or be returned
to committee; the only abolishment to be the option to lay a motion on

the table indefinitely, which is undebatable. The Senate approved this
amendment to the second motion. The Senate then approved the first motion
as presented and the second motion, as amended.

The Chairman reminded the Senators that in order to consider the
next two items on the agenda — namely, the proposed abolishment of the
Departments of Botany, Microbiology and Zoology, and the proposal
relative to the Thomas Hunt Morgan School of Biological Sciences — both
of which had been circulated to the faculty under date of November 18,
1971, and had not been received 10 days before this meeting -— it would
be necessary for the Senate to waive the 10—day rule.

The Senate approved waiver of the 10—day rule and on behalf of the Senate
Council, Professor Flickinger presented the following motion:

In accordance with the Governing Regulations of the University
of Kentucky, the College of Arts and Sciences requests that

the University Senate recommend to the President land it does so
recommend/ the dissolution of the Departments of Botany,
Microbiology and Zoology and that the School of Biological
Sciences be designated as the basic educational unit responsible
for the instruction and research in biology currently performed
by these Departments.

 

At this point a Senator asked that the Senate Council Chairman attempt to
expedite circulations through the Stenographic Bureau in order to prevent
the continuing need for waiver of the 10—day rule in order to consider new
business.

In discussion which followed the motion, questions were raised of the
effect of such an action on budget and staff relocations; effect on
faculty tenure; and the figure availability of how the faculty affected
voted on these recommended dissolutions. Authoritative sources responded
that the funds would revert to the School of Biological Sciences; the
individual members of the three departments would become members of the
next higher educational unit —— in this case the School of Biological

Sciences in the College of Arts and Sciences; it was thought that tenure
would not be affected; and the vote taken in the affected departments was
24 for dissolution with two abstentions. On specific question of the vote
in the Department of Botany, the vote was eight in favor of dissolution with
one abstention.

The Senate approved the recommendation that the Departments of Botany,
Microbiology and Zoology be dissolved and the School of Biological Sciences

be designated as the basic educational unit responsible for the instruction
and research in biology currently performed by these departments, such
approval to be transmitted to the President of the University for presentation
to the Board of Trustees.

On behalf of the Senate Council Professor Flickinger presented the
following recommendation:

that the Thomas Hunt Morgan School of Biological Sciences be
redescribed as a School within the College of Arts and Sciences.
As such it shall be responsible for courses and programs that are
appropriate for general studies. Likewise it shall be responsible
for undergraduate and graduate courses and programs in Arts and
Sciences in Biology including Botany, Microbiology, Zoology and
any other branches of Biology that may be established in which
the emphasis is upon other than the applied. It shall also serve
programs involving applications of Biology in the other Colleges
of the University by offering courses that are basic to or
complement such programs. The existing courses and programs in
Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Physiology and Biophysics, Agronomy,
Animal Sciences, Horticulture, Entomology, Nutrition and Food
Sciences, Plant Pathology, and Plant Physiology are excluded from
its scope and responsibility except as they may be crosslisted by

prescribed procedures.

Motion was then made to amend the proposal to strike the above—underscored
insertions to the motion, which had been made by the Senate Council. Following
discussion, motion was made to amend the proposed amendment to place a period
after the first "Biology” in the third sentence of the motion and to delete

the remainder of the proposal. Following additional discussion the Senate
voted to vote on the proposed amendment to the amendment. The Senate then
approved the amendment to the amendment to place a period after the first
"Biology'' in the third sentence of the original proposal. The Senate approved
the original proposal, as amended, for transmittal to the President for
recommendation to the Board of Trustees. That proposal, as amended, and

approved reads:

that the Thomas Hunt Morgan School of Biological Sciences be
redescribed as a School within the College of Arts and Sciences.
As such it shall be responsible for courses and programs that are
appropriate for general studies. Likewise it shall be responsible
for undergraduate and graduate courses and programs in Arts and

Sciences in Biology.

The Chairman announced that the Senate Council had received 10 copies of

the Governing Regulations which may be checked out by individual faculty
members on a limited time basis. (These had been requested for all faculty
