Clarifying policies for university professors and distinguished professors continued to be a controversial subject at the Faculty Senate meeting Tuesday.

“What we are not trying to do at this point is change the nature [of the policy], but to clarify,” said Jack Girton, at-large senator for the College of Agriculture.

There were changes made and proposed to the senate. Some faculty members still had doubts, however.

William Woodman, at-large senator for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said he had concerns with the wording of the university professor and distinguished professor policy.

“I think we should have a session dedicated for this,” Woodman said. After agreements from many others, the senate decided to table the issue of university professorship and distinguished professor until April 22.

An equally controversial topic was a recommended change to the Faculty Handbook concerning adjunct instructors.

Sedahlia Crase, senator for the College of Family and Consumer Sciences, presented an addition to the handbook that would allow a doctoral student with exceptional experience to be an adjunct instructor.

Anthony Townsend, a senator for the College of Business, said he thinks the idea of adjunct instructors is a good one.

“Take someone who has been a working professional and give them the change to add something that a graduate student could not,” Townsend said.

Susan Bradbury, senator for the College of Design, had concerns about the duration of time an adjunct instructor could teach.

She asked whether a student who leaves a Ph.D. position would still be able to be an adjunct instructor.

After a long debate, the motion to pass the adjunct instructor change in the handbook was approved.

Another issue discussed was the announcement of Veishea returning in 2006.

Paul Tanaka, university counsel, discussed new proposed rules of personal conduct. The new rule deals with taking part in riots or dispersing from riots, he said.

Tanaka said the new rule would apply to students, faculty and visitors.
