research
policy
By RYAN TUTAK
The Senate Advisory Committee
on University Affairs is currently
reviewing a letter to be sent the
University's Board of Regents criti -
cizing the research policy the re -
gents adopted in April.
The new research policy elim -
inates the "end-use" clause which
prohibits research that could kill or
maim humans. It also transfers the
responsibility of reviewing classi -
fied research proposals from the
Research Policy Committee to
department heads, deans of schools
and colleges, various institutes, and
the Vice President for Research
Linda Wilson.
THE LETTER, written by
SACUA chair Harris McClamroch,
will say that faculty members are
upset with the formation of the
research policy. "It's a very unclear
policy. Its statements are confusing
and not easily interpreted,"
McClamroch, an aerospace
engmeerng professor, said. "I think
it is not clear to any faculty
member what kind of research, if
any, is prohibited."
Regent Deane Baker (R-Ann
Arbor) defends the policy. "The
policy is stated as simply and
straight-forwardly as it can be. It
seems to me that it ought to be
given the opportunity to be imple -
mented."
SACUA submitted a research
policy for consideration last No-
vember, but committee member and
social work prof. Beth Reed,
believes theregents "(did) not pay
any attention to us" when forming
the policy.
"That's untrue," Regent Paul
Brown (D-Petoskey) said. "We re -
ceived copies and read their policy.
Because we didn't agree with it
doesn't mean we didn't consider it."
SACUA members refuse to
recognize a policy into which they
had no input.

Selection Committee, to draw up a list of
desirable presidential qualifications by
September. After the qualifications have
been approved, the regents will begin
nominating and interviewing candidates.
The advisory committees, which include
students and faculty members from both the
Flint and Dearborn campuses as well as from
the University, will discuss the candidates
with the regents and participate in the
interviews.
"It's basically just advisory," said George

Davis, chair of MSA's Campus Governance
Committee. "Students won't have a yes or
no vote on any one person, but they can say
why they would vote one way or another."
DAVIS said he selected the students for
the committee on the basis of experience-in
University affairs, availability during the
summer, level of trustworthiness, and equal
representation from minorities and women in
the student population.

committee) was because I wanted to find

Special to the Daily
LANSING - Gov. James
Blanchard has yet to appoint a re-
placement to the empty seat on the
University's Board of Regents caused
by Sarah Power's suicide. Blan -
chard's aids said he would appoint a
replacement before the end of May.
"They're still looking at appli -
cants," said Lisa Grayson, a spokes -
person for Blanchard. "The govern -
or's been out of town for the last two
weeks."
"We expected the announcement,"
said Grayson, but added that the
timetable is "certainly" subject to re -
vision. She added the announcement
"could happen any time."
Karen Towne, a spokesperson for
Greg Morris, director of Blanchard's
Office of Personnel,said she didn't
know why the appointment had been
delayed. Morris could not be reached
for comment.
Morris told the Daily last month
the appointment would come at the
end of May.
In the forefront of consideration
are former regents Jerry Dunn and
Robert Nederlander, former State
Governors William Milliken and
Mennen Williams, Sarah Power's
husband Philip Power, Lansing offi -
cial Robert Naftaly, and Ypsilanti
resident Marge Lansing.
Capital watchers are convinced
that Blanchard will appoint a Demo -
cratic regent.
