UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document Chancellor'smemo on faculty morale angers University Committee by Dan Chiappetta News Editor ''When you're at a place for years. you want the place to run rigb~ you don't want the place to fall apart," said 'Professor James chair of the University COIIlIIlluee.Shea is a professor of geology. On Feb. II, 1990, Shea disllihuted a memorandum to the UniversityCommittee. "My memo was something I wrote to express e views to the University Commiuee. It was not intended for . disbibution." Shea's said his memo was put lIlgetherin a moment of anger and patience. "We just never seem 10 get involved in the decision making process. V arious groups makeproposalsonitems that affect Ihe curriculum, positions, and hudgetallocation,but the decisions are made by the deans, the vice chancellor,and the chancellor." The University Committee is 10 act as the Executive Committee of the faculty and the senate, and to makesure the system of faculty governanceworks. -- . "I thinkthere ought to be some discUSSionbetween the faculty and Ihe adminislnltors that make the decisionson which direction we Want to go, and what do we think about it. That's consultation," lidded Shea. "They shouldn't just ex.cePlproposalsandthen say: well lhisis what we are going to do.' I don'tconsider that consultation." On Feb. 20, 1990, Chancellor SheilaKaplan disbibuted a memo to professOlSoffering information on how 10manage stress. Chancellor Kaplan "Itwasaddressedtoeverybody under the sun. I haven't seen it yet, but several people have told me about it. It was widely circulated:' stated Shea. "It basically means that if you have a problem dealing with stress, read some of this literature. The faculty is very angry at that. It wasn't a very nice memorandum." "This is insulting. Trying 10 blame this on a national trend is dumb," explained Professor John Buenker of the history department. Attached to Kaplan's memo wasan article titled "Tension, Stress and the Tapestry of Faculty Life," by Ann E. Austin and Mary Pilat, concerning the issue 01 faculty morale that was brought up by the University Committee. Thememo with the attached article was distributed 10 the Administrative Council, Dean's Cabinet, program directors, and department chairs. It was addressed to the University Committee. I Shea believes that his internal University Committee memo was "We just never seem to get involved in the decision making process. Various groups make proposals on items that affect the curriculum, . positions, and budget allocation, but the decisions are made by. the deans, the vice chancellor and the chancellor." -Professor James Shea the cause of Kaplan's memo. "That's my impression." Faculty morale was an iss~ raised .by the University Committee: "We have been getting a lot of reports that faculty morale is very low. We looked into it and discovered what we already knew, that faculty morale is extremely low. Faculty is not feeling good about this place. We were unable toconvince the administration that this was the case. They just didn't see it," explained Shea. "That was partly what led to my memo. (A) feeling of frustration in not being able 10 make any progress and so we had this exchange of memos, unfortunately." "I, as well as Chancellor Kaplan, understand the committee's concern. We would like 10resolve the issues raised in the memos," said Vice Chancellor JohnStockwell. "I think Chancellor Kaplan came across an article that addressed the issue of faculty morale and provided it to the) University Committee to attempt Professor James Shea to characterize faculty morale. Faculty morale is a serious concern." Reorganization is believed 10 be a problem according to Shea. "Reorganization hasn't worked real well, but it's only been six months and it does need more of a chance than that. There is lack of communication and we do need to correct that. It does need to be improved." Reorganization is the change from the old structure of eight academic divisions compared to the new structure of four separate schools with various deparunents and newly appointed dean's .for each school. According to Shea, reorganization wasn't suppose to cost any money. Whathastroullied the faculty is that after reorganization, this was the first time they were to receive deparunental budgets. It turned out they had a lot less money to work with than they had before. "The question is where did all the money go? The logic of it was if reorganization wasn 'tgoing 10cost anything and if the money was just reallocated through a different administrative structure, why is it all of a sudden we don't have any more money 10 do the things we always did? We are still waiting for an answer on that." 'There are legitimate concerns on this campus, We are making a numberofchangesinorganization, structure, and policy in which we have to work harder to engage in debate regarding those changes. We have to keep one another informed as to the progress of the changes actually made. . I understand the committee's concern," explained Stockwell. "Capital equipment is another issue. The enormous shortage of capital money and capital equipment is desperately needed around here and we just don't end up with the money. I, asa faculty memberandchairoftheUniversity Committee, would like to know why don't we have more capital or adequate amount of capital money available. I'm Iold money is just short, generally. 1 don't find that all together acceptable. There is money being spent around, why is this need of new capital equipment inallkindsofdepartmentsootbeing given a higher priority," said Shea. "We simply cannot go on for very long trying to run programs of instruction, research, and creative activity without capital equipment money. Are we really putting the money where it should go?" The University Committee met with Stockwell on Feb. 27,1990. - "We're going to try 10get beyond this problem, try to improve communication," added Shea. • • * .' ~ .• , ' ••• a OpInion Responsibility Is all It takes to save lives Earlier this week, Main PIacc m:eived two new c:onvcrsaDOII pieces Ibal have auraeled a great deal of aIIl:IIIiaL The cars are part of a nati0n- wide promotion wbose ultimate goal is saving the lives of SlUdents across lhecounlrY.
