The Faculty is having its second meeting of this quiet and financially beleaguered year on Tuesday, and will probably devote its time to discussions of issues rather than votes on legislation.
On the agenda for the meeting are discussions of:
Dean Rosovsky's bleak budget letter and the cutbacks in Faculty size it forecasts;
The new, revised files law that President Ford signed late last month, and its implications on Faculty files policy; and,
The first open discussion of Rosovsky's just-beginning major review of undergraduate education. The Faculty discussed the review at a closed-to-the-press meeting in the fall, but never in one of its regular meetings.
It's entirely possible, of course, that the Faculty won't get to cover all three topics, complicated as they are, in a two-hour meeting.
Meanwhile, Rosovsky dropped a few more hints about the education review at a Committee on Houses and Undergraduate Life dinner Wednesday night.
Rosovsky said the seven task forces conducting the review will probably work for two years and have five faculty and two student members each--with the students appointed, not elected.
