Show Referendum Student- faculty Board change com temp luted By Angelyn Nelson Staff Writer Two new boards would replace the Student-Faculty Board if Wednesday's Associated Students of the University of Utah (ASUU) referendum passes. Campus and Academic Affairs Boards would be the first ASUU boards created since Public Affairs Board was added by constitutional referendum on March 8, 1966. The two boards would be assigned student-faculty committees by task rather than composition. Presently all committees with students and faculty are placed under S t u d e n t-Fa c u 1 1 y jurisdiction. Harris Vincent, Public Affairs Board member, said 5 officers on the StudentFaculty a Board have spent most of their time staffing the committees. With two members and a chairman, Campus Affairs Board under the revised constitution, would "coordinate and work with Campus Affairs committees; be responsible for recommending the appointment and removal of student committee members under its jurisdiction; provide for the 'learing of complaints from ndividuals concerning any area inder its jurisdiction; and provide a channel of communication between the ASUU Executive Council, the University administration and committees under the jurisdiction of the Campus Affairs Board. The ASUU Student Government Study Commission, in its interim report, recommended the establishment of the Campur Affairs Board to "be in the non-academic concerns of the student as he functions in the University environment." In its policy statement, the board is directly concerned with the student's immediate and future welfare both of his environment and services offered to him. Major committees under Campus Affairs Board include Bookstore Advisory Board, Orientation, Publications Council and Scholarship Award and Student Loans Committee. Academic Affairs Board will represent students in the area of education. It will be "responsible for proposing academic policies regarding academics at the University; coordinate and work with the committees involved with academic welfare of students; be responsible for recommending the appointment and removal of student members of the committees under its jurisdiction; provide for the hearing of complaints from individuals concerning any area under its jurisdiction; provide a channel of communication between the ASUU Executive Council and University President's office, the Executive Committee of the Faculty Council, Colleges ?nd Departments, the committees under the jurisdiction of the Adademic Affairs Board and other offices, committees and commission concerned; and the chairman shall serve as one of the ex-officio student members of the Faculty Council." Some committees under Academic Affairs include Course Evaluation, Student Tutor Society, General Education Council and Experimental Curriculum Committee. Voting on the referendum will be' held from 8 a.m. 6 p.m. Wednesday in the Union foyer. |
