Revised CRR Resolution Reflects All Amendments Of Faculty Conservatives

"Procedures to review, assess and make accountable" have become "orderly procedures consistent with imperatives of academic freedom to assess the policies and assure the responsibility of those whose decisions affect the life of the University."

The new version also adds a sentence to the old resolution-stemming from an amendment proposed by Arthur Maass, Thomson Professor of Government-de signed to further separate the issues of Faculty and student culpability.

The sentence reads. "No violation of the rights of members of the University, nor any failure to meet responsibilities, should be interpreted as justifying any violation of the rights of members of the University."

The old version did not mention "personal harrassment" -an issue raised by Dean May during the Dec. 11 occupation of University Hall-as one of the specific violations of rights.

But a motion making this an implicit violation was passed at the March 25 meeting and the docket for the April 14 meeting includes a resolution-to be proposed by Rosenblatt-saying "the Faculty regards it as implicit in the language of the Resolution on Rights and Responsibilities that intense personal harassment of such a character as to amount to grave disrespect for the dignity of others be regarded as an unacceptable violation of the personal rights on which the University is based."

Finally, this new version returns to the wording of the June 9 proposal-listing the central functions of the University as "learning, teaching, research and scholarship"-wording deliberately eliminated earlier because of what the Committee called "widespread disagreement."
