SACUA discusses due process rights

The 
Senate 
Advisory 
Committee on University 
Affairs 
met 
Monday 
to 
discuss a diverse agenda, 
including 
upcoming 
elections and faculty due 
process protections.
SACUA 
Chair 
Neil 
Marsh, 
professor 
of 
chemistry, 
asked 
the 
committee to brainstorm 
ways to recruit University 
of Michigan faculty to run 
for positions on SACUA 
this spring. There are three 
outgoing SACUA members, 
two of whom will serve on 
a nominating committee 
for 
the 
new 
committee 
members. 
Marsh’s 
goal 
is to have at least six 
members 
of 
the 
Senate 
Assembly, the University’s 
largest 
governing 
body, 

run to replace them.
Tom Schneider, director 
of 
the 
Faculty 
Senate 
Office, described some of 
the 
ongoing 
difficulties 
SACUA 
faces, 
including 
a 
lack 
of 
membership 
interest. 
Schneider 
said 
he hoped new procedures 
would 
make 
membership 
less 
of 
a 
commitment. 
The 
Senate 
Assembly 
is 
currently 
working 
on 
mechanisms for electronic 
voting to facilitate “remote 
participation” in committee 
meetings.
SACUA Vice Chair Joy 
Beatty, associate professor 
of organizational behavior 
at U-M Dearborn, suggested 
reaching out to the Senate 
Assembly’s 
Information 
Technolog y Committee to 
streamline the development 
and implementation of the 
aforementioned technolog y. 

SACUA member Michael 
Atzmon, 
professor 
of 
nuclear engineering and 
radiological 
sciences, 
acknowledged 
the 
outdated 
bylaws 
which 

call for the electorate to 
be physically present at 
meetings.
“Those 
are 
philosophical 
things 
that either we or the 
Senate Assembly should 
be discussing,” Atzmon 
said.
The 
committee 
moved on to discuss a 
new policy to protect 
governing 
faculty’s 
due process rights as 
University staff because 
there 
are 
different 
procedures 
among 
lecturers, 
graduate 
student 
instructors 
and faculty. Lecturers 
and GSIs are not under 
the Senate Assembly’s 
control.
“I believe there are 
stronger protections for 
undergraduates … than 
there 
are 
for 
faculty 
and staff,” Atzmon said. 
“All 
members 
of 
the 
community 
should 
be 

afforded the same level 
of protection.”
SACUA member Sarah 
Lippert, 
associate 
professor of art history 
at U-M Flint, revealed 
inconsistencies 
in 
procedures 
across 
the 
University’s campuses.
“We know that there 
are 
faculty 
struggling 
with 
receiving 
due 
process 
on 
all 
three 
campuses,” Lippert said.
Atzmon 
mentioned 
this policy’s relevancy 
in 
light 
of 
recent 
controversy surrounding 
Associate 
Prof. 
John 
Cheney-Lippold’s 
refusal to write a letter 
of 
recommendation 
for a student applying 
to 
study 
abroad 
in 
Israel. SACUA released 
a 
statement 
Oct. 
22 
supporting 
professors’ 
right to refuse students’ 
letter requests, saying 
persecution of Cheney-
Lippold sets a dangerous 
precedent 
and 
stunts 
professors’ 
freedom 
to 
provide 
their 
endorsement of students 
as they so choose.
SACUA member Bill 
Schultz, 
professor 
of 
mechanical engineering, 
said he believes a due 
process 
policy 
would 
be helpful in the wake 
of this controversy. He 
stressed the urgency of 
putting one into place.
“We’d like to think 
we aren’t breaking new 
ground 
here,” 
Schultz 
said.
SACUA 
adopted 
the Principles of Due 
Process resolution, and 
it will be presented at 
the 
upcoming 
Senate 
Assembly 
meeting 

“I believe there are 
always stronger 
protections for 
undergraduates... 
than there are for 
faculty and staff. 
All members of 
the community 
should be afforded 
the same level of
