Study on faculty disciplinary,
grievance procedures released
By Esther Gabriel
Collegian News Editor
A report on faculty grievance
and disciplinary procedures has
been released by the ad hoc
Committee of. Faculty Personnel Procedures which has been
studying the problems for more
The report recommends the
establishment of a Board of Personnel Review to handle all administrative review functions
previously taken car of by the
Faculty Personnel Committee of
the Academic Senate and lists
procedures for the selection of
hearing boards and outlines steps
to be taken when presenting
grievances or asking for discipline for "unprofessional conduct" by a faculty member or
The document was on the a-
ganda of the Academic Senate
yesterdav but the body adjourned
before reaching the Item.
The committee has recommended the establishment of the
review board becausa the standing personnel committee Is used
for both policy recommending and
for personnel action review and
"this Is not consistent with the
other standing committees of the
Senate."
The proposed board woulu be
composed of one member for
each fifty members In each school
and would act as an advisor to
the Academic Vice President.
AU tenured faculty would be eligible to serve on the board.
The members of this board
would hear evidence on grievance
or disciplinary charges brought
by    faculty
The report defines a grievance
as "any complaint arising out
of a decision or action.by colleagues or administrative officers which In any was adversely
affects the employment status or
other academic rights and privileges of a faculty member."
The report stipulates that anyone having a grievance should
first try to resolve lt through
Informal discussion with those
concerned. After a five day
period the faculty member may
petition for a hearing.
The hearing panel would be
chosen from a list of veniremen selected each September
from alt tenured faculty members below the department chairman level. The chairman of the
Board of Personnel Review would
choose a chairman for the hearing panel whom he considers
"fair, impartial and with the
ability to conduct a hearing without bias or Involvement in the
specific grievance^" \
The    hearing    panel    would
party to the grievance allowed
15 preemptory challenges for
such things as being a close
friend of the grtevant or being
In the same department.
This panel will study written,
statements by. both parties to
decide whether there la "sufficient grounds for a hearing"

Senate may hold
public hearings
into newspaper
The Fresno State College Stu-
' dent Senate Is'expected to be
asked Wednesday lo begin public hearings on the college's
newspaper. The Dally Collegian.
Second Vice President Bob
Braltman and Senator Cary Da-
loyan announced last night they
will. ask Ihe Senate to determine
what the "alternatives are to
the present situation."
Daloyan. senator from professional studies, said the campus
newspaper Is "appealing to special Interest groups" and that
"most students and faculty are
disenchanted" with it.
The problem stems from the
Collegian's' policy of publishing
a black and brown minority newspaper   on alternating Mondays.
"All those Involved In pubU-
catlons will 1r> asked to discuss
the Issues before Ihe Senate,
student body and general public,"
Daloyan said. "We want to discuss the situation in the open
air to find out what. If any, the
alternatives are to the present
situation which we feel Is Inade-
"Most of the students and faculty  are disenchanted with the
feel that If a re-
status of the Dally Collegian
that the outcome would he predictable, that Is to say most of
the students and faculty would
favor discontinuing separate publications  for special groups."
He said a "reorganization" of
the campus publication is needed
and (hat It should be put under
"an editor who will not give in
to special Inters! groups."
The Senate will meet Wednesday at 2 p.m. in College Union
312.
Daloyan earlier had said he
would ask the Senate to call a
special student referendum on
the newspaper, asking the student body If they approved the
current format of Tbe Daily Col-
Daloyan, a graduate student,
said he does not want to "terminate" minority publications.
"We're not after the termination of any minority publication. We feel a great need for
a platform for the minorities,
both black and Chlcano. But there
Is also a need for ajplalform for
all groups, fraternities, International students and others," he
said.
He said he will move to table
the referendum vote- because he
believes public bearings would
'/prove the best method of exploring tbe situation without any
militant action."
/Daloyan said the Senate will
consider two alternatives, having
' persons testify in front of the
entire Senate or a sub-committee
of the legislative body.
He predicted the Senate will
approve such hearings.
• Last  semester  the Board of
n the
Publications voted to suspend
one Issue of The Dally CoUegian
a week to allow the black and
Chicano students to publish their
own newspaper.      •»
After Ihe board's action Daloyan and a few other Senators
pushed to have tbe Senate overturn the decision. However, they
were defeated In a lopsided vote.
But Doloyan thinks be can muster
the votes now to end 'special
editions* of the newspaper. He
cites concern of theStateCollege
Board of Trustees and of th*
Karl Falk Administration being
the deciding factors.
•We think this Is a student
problem and should be handled
by the students and the Board of
publications. But if they don't
act before the first of the year
then the administraUon or the
trustees are going to act by themselves.* Daloyan said.
The Board of Publications has -
already established a sub committee to study the minority
publications and Ihe administration is conducting an Indepth
study   of  the   Dally   Collegian.
Daloyan said he thinks public
hearings would lead to 'action
on the part of the Senate.*
