that neither the Freund Committee nor the Joint Committee was an elected and solely Faculty committee, as stated in the guidelines of the American Association of University Professors:

that the Corporation and Joint Committee denied Stauder the right to stand mute before them;

that the Corporation and Joint Committee considered Stauder at fault for not actively dissuading students from participating in the University Hall takeover.

Almost every department member spoke during the two and one-half hour meeting and the atmosphere remained calm. Stauder, who was present as a full voting member, spoke for about five minutes.

Roger Rosenblatt, a member of the Committee of 15 and the Joint Committee, attended the meeting to defend the Joint Committee's position and to answer questions. Altogether, he spoke for nearly half an hour.

Stauder, reacting to the department's decision, said last night that "any honest Faculty member who seriously studies what happened in my case is bound to come up with the conclusion that the Administration and Corporation have behaved in a way which shows their essential contempt for the Faculty and students.

"After the Faculty voted as a whole to condemn the Vietnam War," he added. "perhaps they recognize that it is inconsistent with firing one Faculty member who opposed that war in a concrete way."

Asked whether he thinks the department's resolutions will make the Corporation reverse its stand on his case, Stauder replied, "I doubt it."
