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outdated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
