The Michigan Daily-Thursday, September 6, 1979-Page 7A Tight ii kept on1 A The search for a new vice- :resident for academic affairs will "probably be as secret" as the recent presidential search was, ac- cording to the chairman of the University's faculty governing committee. Dentistry Prof. Richard Corpron, chairman of the faculty Senate Ad- visory Committee on University Af- fairs (SACUA), said the problems of applicant privacy associated with the presidential search, which culminated in the appointment of current ' Vice-President for Academic Affairs Harold Shapiro, would probably be similar in the search for Shapiro's successor. id to be 'I' Ex -prof sues U'for $1.1 million I .P. hunt SHAPIRO WILL assume the presidency on Jan. 1, 1980, but Cor- pron said the vice-presidential sear- ch "will not be hurried" to meet that deadline. Applications and nominations for the vice-presidential position are being accepted until Oct. 20. After that date, a search committee will begin to compile a list of about six' preferred candidates to be submit- ted to the University president and the Board of Regents. The Regents will make the final choice. Two students will be designated by the Michigan Student Assembly (MSA) to serve with SACUA mem- bers on the search committee. By JULIE ENGEBRECHT A former University professor filed suit for $1.1 million against the Board of Regents and three members of the College of Engineering Humanities Department last month, charging that he was unfairly ° dropped from the faculty without a tenure review. Prof. Jonathan Marwil, who left the humanities department at the end of May, says his rights to due process of law and freedom of speech were violated in the decision not to grant him a tenure review, and that the defendan- ts in the case - the Regents, Humanities Department Chairman J.C. Mathes, and Ralph Loomis and Dwight Stevenson, members of the depar- tment's Administrative Committee - are guilty of breach of contract and in- terference with contractual relations. THE SUIT ALSO alleges procedural regulations were not followed by the department. A dozen colleagues and other faculty supporters of Marwil appeared before the Regents in May, June, and July, asking that the Board intervene in Marwil's case. Regents said they did not want to in- terfere in faculty matters. The Senate Advisory Committee on University Af- "fairs (SACUA), and the Senate Ad- visory Review Committee (SARC), however, both recommended that the department should grant Marwil a reappointment hearing. Engineering College Dean David Ragone and current Vice-President for Academic Affairs Harold Shapiro (also University president-designate) sup- ported the decision of the Humanities Department Administrative Commit- tee. Marwil is also asking that pending trial, the Regents reinstate him to the faculty. Detroit Federal District Court. Judge Philip Pratt heard arguments on that issue Aug. 30, and will likely make a decision this month. LAX SAID Pratt may call on attor- neys for both sides for more argument. Marwil asks that he be awarded $500,000 in damages from the Regents' for alleged breach of contract and $500,000 from the other defendantsfor what he claims was interference with contractual relations. Additional relief asked by Marwil are $75,000 from all defendants for alleged violation of federal and state con- stitutional and statutory rights, and punitive damage of $25,000 against Mathes, - Loomis, and Stevenson for "malicious violation" of these rights. LAX SAID the main reason Marwil was not granted tenure review was his "advocacy of positions in department meetings." In a memo informing Marwil he would not be reappointed, Mathes referred to Marwil's alleged "abrasive behavior" and wrote that Marwil had "continued to attack departmental ad- ministrative policies and procedures in such a way as to divert the time and energy of the administration, and numerous faculty members and to exacerbate the understandable conflic- ts among various interest groups in the staff. Marwil, who was unavailable for comment, first became a University faculty member in September 1973.

I That committee, the faculty Senate assembly Advisory Committee on Financial Affairs (SAACFA), worked bn its report last spring and part of the siimmer. The recommendations of the cimmittee were similar to those in a rpport issued by SAACFA a year earlier. ;WThe Regents at that time adopted a jilicy that included some of the early KAACFA recommendations. That in- i ystment policy, still in effect, calls for Iorporate affirmation of the Sullivan Vrinciples-guidelines providing for in-discriminatory policies for firms 4ith operations in South Africa. THE POLICY also calls for divest- ent fro4 those firms that refuse to af- f m the !Sullivan Principles. It also vested from one company, Black and SA tussle over funding on funding for student organization ac- tivities. "By rule of thumb, MSA should not be in the business of funding operations for funding student organizations. They should be assisting in the funding of programs, which is what they mostly do anyway," Johnson said. They also want MSA to come up with a set of guidehnes concerning which ac- tivites it can and cannot fund. "WE'D PROBABLY not get an ap- propriation for WCCAA (Washtenaw County Coalition Against Apartheid) through them," he said. The WCCAA has disrupted several Regents meetings. MSA will be examining the April elec- tion this fall and will report to the Board of Regents in December. Also this fall, the Assembly will attempt to evaluate the role of the student judiciary and determine what caused the problems with the election. Committee heads and executive of- ficers of MSA, other than the president and vice-president, must also be elect- ed within the Assembly due to the late election certification. Alland said the lack of MSA executive officers preven- ted MSA from planning this summer for the upcoming year. See additional stories on MSA, Page B.

Most of the protesters say they feel the Sullivan Principles are not bad, just ineffective in combatting the apartheid stystem in South Africa. WHILE MOST of the Regents say they feel the presence of non- discriminating. corporations in South Africa provides a possible impetus for change, most of the protesters say the foreign corporations in South Africa-discriminating or not-rein- force the apartheid system. The new SAACFA report recommen- ds expanding the scope of the current University investment policy to cover bonds as well as stock. The report also recommends establishing a special committee to review corporate com- pliance with the Sullivan Principles. For the first time, two students-both of whom are vocal WCCAA mem- bers-were appointed to the faculty- dominated committee. The new SAACFA report is likely to be presented at the September Regents meeting, according to University Vice- President for State Relations Richard Kennedy, who is also secretary to the University. While the new report con- tains changes from the 1978 version, student SAACFA member Anne Fuller- ton said she does not expect the new recommendations to satisfy the divestment activists. "I THINK IT would be safe to say- that this report falls very short from the goals of the WCCAA," Fullerton said. "The WCCAA sees the Sullivan Prin- ciples as being not terribly useful in the South African context," she added. University President-designate Harold Shapiro hs said he is against total divestment, but feels "equally well-meaning people can disagree." No one is sure of the scope of any protests if they occur again this year. But, according to Fullerton, "we aren't going to let up." .._ (( 00 611 Church Street Ann Arbor, Mi. 996-2747 iced spiced carousal. _ RENT A COMPUTER TERMINAL, Tired of waiting in line for a terminal?
