Throughout the year I will pass on my comments concerning what’s happening in the Univer- sity and report on some behind- the-scene activity taking place on SGA President Bob Joseph will campus. Every month there is a meeting held at University Park at which all the commonwealth campuses attend as part of the Council of Presidents (C.O.P.) Program. The purpose of the program is to provide an environ- ment for an orderly analysis of the direction of the university community. The analysis in- cludes determination of problem areas, offering alternative solu- tions to areas of concern, and providing an appropriate mech- anism for implementation of these solutions. In general, such programs have provided partici- represent Delaware this year in Council of Presidents Program. the university community.C.O.P. acts as an advisory board to University President, Dr. Oswald. Through such a sounding board, student sentiments are voiced and taken into consideration. One such appeal was made to Dr. Oswald in the form of an Official Policy Statement con- cerning the recent elections to the University Faculty Senate, a legislative body within the Uni- versity. I present it to you as an example that C.O.P. and Bob Joseph are working for you. Fol- pants with a better understand- lowing is the context of that ing of the complexities within statement. . . COUNCIL OF PRESIDENTS OFFICIAL POLICY STATEMENT The Council’ of Presidents. wishes to express its dissent of the recent elections of student senators to the University Faculty Senate, for the follow- ing reasons: : : 1. Commonwealth Campuses were given insufficient time to inform our students of their eligibility to become candidates for student senators to the University Faculty Senate, for conducting proper elections. - 2. Commonwealth Campuses were given insufficient time to adequately publicize and set up the proper apparatus for conducting proper elections. 3. Commonwealth Campuses were given insufficient time to adequately publicize the qualifications of the candidates to the University Faculty Senate. 4. Commonwealth Campuses received no information regarding the elections from the following colleges: a. Agriculture b. Arts and Architecture ¢. Earth and Mineral Sciences In view of these circumstances and the election results, we cannot possibly condone these elections as being representative of either the students at Univer- sity Park or at the Commonwealth Campuses. We also believe that the very voting rights that were to be protected with these elections have been stripped away. In an attempt to enfranchise Commonwealth Campuses, these elections saw the almost total disenfranchisement of the Commonwealth Campus stu- dents. The Council of Presidents officially condemns these unjust elections. We would also like to restate some of the reasons why we believe that Commonwealth Campus students should have their own representation in the University Faculty Senate. 1. The academic environment at the Commonwealth Campuses is differ- ent than that of University Park, creating different problems for the Common- wealth Campus student. For example, course selection is very limited, and advising is often done by a faculty member who is not in the student’s college or major. : 2. The relationship between faculty and students at the Commonwealth Campuses is different than that at University Park. Due to the smaller ratio of faculty to students, the students have, and take advantage of, a better oppor- tunity to add constructive suggestions in regards to bettering curricula, aca- demic advising, etc. \ The Council of Presidents firmly believes that since the University Faculty Senate has seen it feasible to give Commonwealth Campus Faculty their own representation in the Senate, then it is only logical that the Commonwealth Campus students be given their own representation in the Senate. We present these grievances, and statements of our need for our own representation in the Senate, for what we truly believe are in the best interests of our University. d. Human Development e.
