THE MICHIGAN DAILY LCULTY SHOULD GUARD THEM Proposed AA UP Statement Declares Rights' of Students 4' i EDITOR'S NOTE: The following . a draft entitled "Statement on 'acuty Responsibility for the Aca- ein a Freedomofr Students." It ras written by a national subcom- mittee of the American Association f University Professors. Their raft wnibetprinted in the AAUP llletin In the fall and then go efore the AAUP plenary body meet- ng next spring for formal adop- The statement can only serve in xt advisory role; it has no official authority to change rules. Its f- etiveness will rely on° the dis- ribution and discussion which the LAUP can create. Freedom to teach and freedom learn are indivisible. Freedom learn depends upon appropriate aditions and opportunities in e classroom, as well as op- rtunities to exercise the rights citizenship on and off the mpus. The achievement and atinuance of these conditions of edom require not only a defi- ion of rights but the establish- mnt of procedures for their pro- etion. Faculty responsibility for the ademic freedom of students ,ns from the recognition that edom of inquiry and expres- n are essential attributes of a mmunity of scholars. As mem- rs and immediate guardiais of at community, faculty members are with administrators a spe.. ,i responsibility for establish- i and maintaining conditions der which freedom of inquiry y flourish. Thsi responsibility to be exercised both through eir individual capacity as teach- = and their corporate authority the governance of the instruc- ns in which they serve. The lowing statement outlines the >pe of this responsibility and Igests standards and procedures tereby thsi obligation may be Wcharged by members of the pro- sion. Responsibility of the Professor as Teacher The professor in the classroom d in conference has the obli- tion to maintain an atmosphere free discussion, inquiry, and iression, and should take no on to penalize students be- use of their opinions or 'be- use of their conduct in mat- s unrelated to academic stand- Is. He also has the obligation eoaluate their performance just- PROTECTION OF FREEDOM 'EXPRESSION.'Students should free to take reasoned exception the data or views offered in rticular courses of study. This iy be required to know thor- Ihly the particulars set out by e instructor, but they should be e to reserve personal judgment to the truth or falsity of what presented. Knowledge and aca- mic performance, not belief, ould be the yardstick by which tdents are measured. PROTECTION AGAINST UN- ST GRADING OR EVALUA- ON. Students must maintain .ndards of academic perform- ce set by their institution if y are to receive the certificate competence implied by course dits and degrees. The student Auld have protection against un- t grading and evaluation due incompetence, error, or preju- e; The faculty should establish orderly procedure whereby stu- ot allegations of prejudice or or in the awarding of grades or e evaluation of progress toward degree may be reviewed by a npetent academic authority. PROTECTION AGAINST IM- OPER OR HARMFUL DIS- OSURE. Institutions should ve a carefully considered policy to what information should be t of the permanent student rec- l and as to the conditions of disclosure. The information about students which teachers ac- quire in the course of their work as instructors, advisers, and coun- selors is of a privileged character and its protection against im- proper or harmful disclosure is a serious professional obligation. In particular, the protection of the climate of freedom on the cam- pus requires that any information as to the personal views, convic- tions,, or political associations of students which teachers and oth- er university personnel acquire should be confidential and should not be disclosed. Disciplinary ac- tions which do not result in sus- pension for a term or dismissal should not be posted to perma- nent academic records which are made available to outside parties. II Responsibility of the Professor as Participant in Institutional Government The professor shares in insti- tutional government and in this capacity has further responsibili- ties for achieving and preserving an environment of freedom for students. FREEDOM OF STUDENT AD- MISSION ON NON-DISCRIMI- NATORY BASIS. The faculty should insure that college and university admissions policies do not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, or national origin. Institutions of an avowed sec- tarian character may choose' to limit enrollment to those of their own religious conviction but such limitations should be clearly and publicly stated. University facili- ties -and services should be open to ally students without reference to race, creed, or national origin, and the university should use its influence in they community to insure that off-campus housing, eating, and recreational facilities are open to all of its students without discrimination. FREEDOM OF STUDENT OR- GANIZATION AND ASSOCIA- TION. The faculty should protect the freedom of students to or- ganize to promote their common interests. Institutional regulations and policies should assure such freedom. Intervention in the ac- tivities of student organizations should be exceptional. 1) Student organizations should not be required to submit lists of members other than current lists of officers, except that purely so- cial organizations required to maintain minimum grade averages among their members may submit current lists for checking grade averages. 2) Campus organizations, facili- ties, and activities should be open to all students without respect to race, creed, or national origin, except for the possible limita- tion of sectarian organizations. Organizations and activities should be open in fact and not merely formally open because of the ab- sence of restrictive clauses. 3) Students and student orga- nizations should be free to dis- cuss all questions of interest to them and to express opinions publicly or privately without pen- alty, to promote the causes they support by distributing literature, circulating petitions, picketing, or taking any other peaceful action on or off the campus. 4) Any person who is presented by a recognized student organiza- tion should be allowed to speak on aa college or university campus. Institutional control of the use of campus facilities by student or- ganizations for meetings and oth- er organizational purposes should not be employed as a device to censor or prohibit controversial speakers or the discussion of con- troversial topics. The only con- trols which may be imposed are those required by orderly sched- uling of the use of space. 5) Institutional regulations and the announcements of student groups should make it clear that neither student organizations nor the speakers they bring to the campus necessarily represent the view of the entire student body, the faculty, or the administration. FREEDOM TO ESTABLISH AND OPERATE STUDENT GOV- ERNMENT. Student self-govern- ment provides a valuable means for the exercise of the rights and obligations of students as campus citizens. It is therefore a responsibility of the faculty to encourage a fully representative student self government, and to protect the student government from arbitrary intervention in its affairs by the removal or suspen- sion of officers, by the withhold- ing of funds, or by unilateral changes in a charter which de- fines its organization and com- petence. The electorate of such a government should consist of the entire student body and should not be defined in terms of mem- bership in clubs or organizations. As a constituent of the academic community, the student govern- ment should have clearly de- fined means to participate in the formulation and application of regulations affecting student con- duct. It should also be free to ex- press its views on issues of insti- tutional policy and on matters of ger: al interest to the student body. Students should be free to or- ganize and join associations for educational, political, religious or cultural purposes. The fact of af- filiation with any extra-mural as- sociation or national organization or political party, so long as it is an open affiliation, should not of itself bar a group from recogni- tion. The administration should not discriminate against a student because of membership in any such organization. A student organization should be free to choose its own faculty ad- viser. No organization should be forbidden when, after reasonable effort, it has failed to obtain a faculty adviser. An adviser should consult with and advise the or- ganization but should have no au- thority or responsibility to regu- late or control its activities. FREEDOM OF STUDENT PUB- LICATION. An academic commu- nity requires freedom to exchange information and ideas. The fac- ulty should promote and sustain institutional policies which will provide students the freedom to establish their own publications and to conduct them free of cen- sorship or of faculty or admin- istrative determination of con- tent or editorial policy. 1) Editors and managers of stu- dent publications should be select- ed democratically, on the basis of competence, and in accordance with established procedures. 2) Editors and managers should have independence of action dur- ing their term of office. They should be protected against sus- pension and removal because of faculty, administrative, or public disapproval of editorial policy or content. Similarly, neither stu- dent control of the publication nor the powers of the student govern- ing body should be used to limit editorial freedom. On the other hand, a student publication should open its pages to representation of diverse points of view. 3) Freedom to distribute pub- lications on or off campus should be permitted. 4) Students should also be free to establish, publish, and distribute unsubsidized publications without institutional niterference. 5) Student directors of campus television and radio stations, not operated primarily for instruc- tional purposes, should have a freedom of programming, subject to F.C.C. regulations, comparable to that of the editorial staff of campus publications. Responsibility of Faculty for Safeguarding Off- Campus Freedom of Students The faculty has an obligation to insure that institutional au- thority and disciplinaryy powers are not employed to circumvent or limit the rights of students as members of the larger community. CITIZEN FREEDOMS. Students should enjoy the same freedom of religion, speech, press and assem- bly, and the right to petition the authorities, that citizens general- ly possess. Exercise of these rights subject them to institutional pen- on or off the campus should not alties. POLITICAL RIGHTS. Off-cam- pus activities of students may upon occasion result in violation of law. Students who violate or- dinances or laws they consider to be morally wrong risk legal penalties prescribed by civil au- thorities. However, not every con- viction under the law represents an offense with which an educa- tional institution must concern it- self. The student who violates institutional regulations, such as those relating to class attend- ance, in the course of his pro- test should be subjected to no greater penalty than would nor- mally be imposed if the violation had not arisen in the course of a public controversy. When stu- dents ran into police difficulties off the campus in connection with what they regard as their politi- cal rights-as, for example, tak- ing part in sit-ins, picket lines, demonstrations, riding on freedom buses - the college authorities should take every practical step to assure themselves that such students are protected in their full legal rights and against abuse. ]V, Responsibility of Faculty for Procedural Due Process in Cases of Alleged Misconduct The faculty has an obligation to see that students are not dis- ciplined for alleged misconduct without adequate procedural safe- guards. The folowing procedures are recommended to assure rea- sonable protection of the student, a fair determination of the facts, and the application of appropri- ate sanctions. NOTICE OF CONDUCT SUB- JECT TO DISCIPLINE. Discipli- nary proceedings should be in- stituted only for alleged viola- tions of adequately defined stand- ards of conduct made known to the students in advance, e.g., through publication in the cata- logue or student handbook. Of- fenses and penalties should be made as clear as possible, avoid- ing such vague phrases as "un- desirable conduct" or "conduct in- jurious to the best interests of the institution." CONDUCT OF INVESTIGA- TION PRELIMINARY TO FOR- MAL CHARGES. Except under emergency circumstances, premis- es occupied by students and the personal possessions of students should not be searched unless ap- propriate authorization has been obtained. For premises such as dormitories controlled by the in- stitution, an apropriate academic authority should be designated to whom application must be made before a search can be conducted. 'the application should specify the reasons for the search and the objects or information sought. The studentt .should be present, if pos- sible, during the search. For prem- ises not controlled by the insti- tution, the ordinary requirements for lawful search should be fol- lowed. Students detected or arrested in the course of serious violations of institutional regulation, cr infrac- tions of ordinary law, should be informed of their applicable rights under institutional regulations and general law. No form of har- assment, including isolation from counsel, should be used by insti- tutional representatives to coerce admissions of guilt or information about conduct of other suspected persons.

The student should be informed, in writing, of the reasons for the proposed disciplinary action with sufficient particularity, and in suf- ficient time, to ensure opportunity for a proper defense. TREATMENT OF STUDENT PENDING FINAL ACTION. Pend- ing action on the charges, the stat- us of a student should not be altered or his right to be present on the campus and to attend classes suspended except for rea- sons relating to his physical or emotional safety and well-being, or for reasons relating to the safety of students, faculty, and university property. HEARING. The formality of the procedure to which a student is entitled should be proportioned to the sanctions which may be impos- ed. Informal tribunals, such as traffic bureaus or dormitory or residential councils, may assess minor penalties and some cases may be closed with a reprimand. But if, after investigation, it ap- pears that the alleged offense may expose the student to serious sanc- tions, for instance expulsion, sus- pension, substantial fine, or nota- tion on a permanent record, he should have the right to appeal the initial judgment of his culp- ability to a Hearing Board. The Board should be composed of fac- ulty members selected by the fac- ulty or, subject to request by the accused student, of faculty mem- bers and students, the latter to be selected by the student council or another appropriate agency of student government. r- 1) The Hearing Board proceed- ing should be de novo, that is, without reference to any matter previously developed in informal proceedings. No member of the' Hearing Board who is otherwise interested in the particular case should sit in judgment during that proceeding. 2) The student appearing before the Hearing Board should have the right to be accompanied and represented by an adviser of his choice, and by legal counsel if he so requests. 3) The burden of proof should rest upon the officials instigat- ing or responsible for establish- ing the charge. 4) The student should be given an opportunity to testify and to present evidence and witnesses relevant to the charge or the pen- alties involved. Whenever possi- ble, he should be givenean, op- portunity to cross-examine adverse witnesses. In no case should the Board consider statements against him unless he has been advised of their content and of the.names of those who made them, and un- less he has been given an oppor- tunity to rebut unfavorable in- ferences which might otherwise be drawn. 5) The decision should be bas- ed solely upon mattersplacedin evidence during the hearing. The failure of the accused student to testify (if such is the case) should not be a factor in the decision and improperly acquired evidence should not be admitted. 6) A transcript of the hearing should be made and, subject to the student's waiver, the proceed- Ing before the Hearing Board should be open. FURTHER RECOURSE. Subject only to the student's right to ap- peal to the highest institutional authority or a designee, or to a court as provided by law, the de- cision of the Hearing Board should be final.
