March 9 Faculty Meeting Minutes
Special Meeting of 9 March 1988
This special meeting was called to discuss the sequence of events growing out of the recent presidential selection process. Pre-college faculty were also present, seated in separate areas, and voting independently of the University faculty. Media coverage was much in evidence at this emotionally-charged meeting. First-person accounts of recently breaking events, as well as the introduction of unsubstantiated testimonials, marked this extraordinary session. Mark Weinberg volunteered to take minutes in the absence of the secretary of the faculty; since the services of a secretary were not requested until ten minutes or so into the meeting, recordation of events occurring early on may be fragmentary.
The meeting opened with the dissemination of information on the part of the Chair and several other interested parties, all of who were privy to events that were considered of importance to the membership. Several objections were voiced regarding information shared that was viewed by some as biased, and the chair was at one point asked to step down. The body did not sustain these objections, and Chairman Reynolds continued to conduct the meeting.
Information provided by a variety of speakers included the following:
The meeting was adjourned at 4:38 P.M.
