Honorary degree policy
now allows absentees

Administration Building itself would
be too small for a dormitory.'
The University plans to landscape
the razed site and someday build
either a hospital or a medical school
building on it.
The Regents' yesterday also ap-
proved a set of interim bylaws for the
School of Dentistry. There has never
been any formal set of governing
rules for the school.
Dr. John Lillie, a professor at the
School of Dentistry, said the bylaws
help clarify certain aspects of the
school. "It's like a constitution. It
sets a basis. It may not be a perfect
document, but we'll try to make the
best of it."
Interim Dean William Kotowicz
said the critical issues of the.bylaws
include the definition of governing
faculty, the compilation of the elec-
tion's committee, the term of an
individual on a nomination commit-
tee, the composition of the executive
committee, and the question of whe-
ther a faculty member or an admin-
istrator should chair the admissions
committee.
"We used a mail ballot to vote on
the laws and get a sense of the fac-
ulty's feelings," Kotowicz said. The
faculty eventually voted to adopt the
bylaws, 69-16.
The temporary bylaws will be in
effect for two years, beginning im-
mediately. They will be reviewed and
revised for adoption before fall term
of 1989.
"The faculty have a favorable atti-
tude towards the bylaws," Kotowicz
said. "The interim period gives us
time to make alterations and vote in
changes."
At yesterday's regents' meeting,
the board also adopted a new policy
for awarding honorary degrees. Under,
the policy, degrees can be awarded to
recipients who need not be present to7
accept them "on rare and unusual
occasions."
After long debate, last year the
board approved an honorary degree for
jailed South African anti-apartheid
leader Nelson Mandela even though
the former regental bylaws forbade
such action. Before that, many ac-
tivists felt that the regents were us-
ing the bylaws as an excuse to keep
the degree from Mandela.
The new policy also specifies that
the Dean of Rackham Graduate
School chair a committee to recom-
mend degree recipients.,
The bylaw change resulted from a
review by an ad hoc committee,
chaired by Rackham Dean John
D'Arms, that began in April, 1986.
The committee finished its report last
February and the regents reviewed its
findings last month.
But Regent Neal Nielsen (R-
Brighton), who voted against the
change, said, "Anybody who receives
the degree should be here to receive
it." Referring to Mandela, he said,
"I'm sorry he wasn't able to come
here and address the students - that's
part of the honorary degree process."

simultaneously defending the First
Amendment and indicting Steiner for
his remarks.
Students, however, have said
that Steiner's remarks reflect
hypocrisy among University
administrators. Fleming's policy
proposes to deter racist speech
through sanctions, while Steiner's
remarks contribute to it, some said.
Steiner, in a speech delivered last
term, made remarks that UCAR and
other human rights groups have
called "racist and offensive," but he
has maintained that they were taken
out of context and distorted.
Fleming's proposed policy
outlines sanctions, such as academic
probation or suspension, against
students who verbally or physically
harass others.
The regents are expected to
discuss Fleming's document at their
meeting tomorrow morning and the
proposed change in the affirmative
action logo. It is unknown if the
regents will discuss Steiner's remarks
during the meeting.
