Recommendations & Resolutions

1971 -1972

Resolution: December, 15 1971
Dr Forsythe presented resolution 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5
Resolutions 1, 2, 3, and 4 passed.  5 failed

· Resolution 1:
The faculty senate of Fort Hays Kansas State College protests the reductions in the budgets for the institutions of higher education in Kansas as recommended by Director of the Budget James Bibb, that the Senate supports Mr. Paul Wunsch, Chairman of the Board of Regents, in his protest of the recommended reductions, and that the senate supports President John Gustad in his protest of the recommended budget reductions for Fort Hays Kansas State College

· Resolution 2:
The Faculty Senate believes that there should be participation by full-time teaching faculty in budgetary decisions at Fort Hays Kansas State College and that the Chairman of the Faculty Senate, in consultation with the Chairman of the College Affairs Committee, appoints a Committee for said purpose.
NOTE:  The Senate is aware of the financial crisis at Fort Hays State, but any reduction directly affects the quality of teaching.  The library is the nucleus of any quality institution of higher learning, and the recent reduction in funds of the purchase of books for Forsyth Library was a decision which represents a serious compromise of the quality of education, which may have a direct and immediate consequences in accreditation, such as by North Central Association or NCATE.

· Resolution 3:
The Faculty Senate requests that President John Gustad or one of his administrative assistants provide the Faculty Senate with an analysis of the impact of intersession as it affects the summer school program, particularly as it affects headcount, fees, teaching positions, ets.

·Resolution 4:
The Faculty Senate desires that President John explain in a written report the salary structure and teaching loads of nine, eleven, and tweleve month faculty, both teaching and administrative, especially since salaries are usually based on credentials, professional recognition, etc., not administrative duties.

· Resolution 5:
The Faculty Senate requests a written report from the Bice-President for Financial and Administrative Affairs explaining where the funds where located ot repair the deficit for this fiscal year in the school budget.  A detailed analysis of  funds and the areas where these funds were removed will alleviate the rumors circulating on campus.
