PROPOSED CHANGE TC POLICY PAPER 1: DR. JACQUELIN COLLINS - DR. HENRY XWELL
Professor Collins discussed proposed changes of Policy Paper #1 (mini
for tenure policy) adopted October 16, 1967 by the Coordinating Board. Th I
need for revision of this policy resulted in specific recommendations of t
noting Board's Advisory Committee of 1974-75. That Advisory Committee did

they presented the revision #2 now under consideration. Collins expressed the
opinion that the currert revision should be abandoned and the original Pol cy
Paper 1 be retained or if a revision is necessary, the first proposed revi ion
should be adopted. He feels that Texas Tech Faculty should have a represen tive
at the September 12, 1S77, open hearing to voice this opinion.
Professor Henry J. Maxwell, incoming chairperson of the Tenure and Pr liege
Committee, spoke on the proposed revisions. He reported that discussions the
past in his committee seem to be compatible with Collins' current objectioiL to the
second revision of Policy Paper 1. He feels that the second revision woul create
a number of problems and that it contains too many general statements wh h are
undefined.
In the discussion which followed several questions were directed to t Vice
President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Charles Hardwick. He indicated that h would
attend the open hearing, but only as an observer. The administration at T as Tech
feels that this Policy ?aper, if adopted, will merely set guidelines in de loping
tenure policy and not ba mandatory. It is the feeling of the administrati that
the tenure policy at this institution is a strong policy; that the propose
revisions are not drastic and would not affect Texas Tech that much. Hard ck does
not perceive a move by Cech's Board of Regents to eliminate tenure.
Professors EissingEr and Pearson eleborated on the weaknesses of the s ond
proposed revision of Policy Paper 1.
Professor Keho moved to accept Collins' "position paper" as represent g the
ideas of the faculty of this university and to send someone to represent T h's

Professor Burford moved that Chairperson Bell name the person to atten this
meeting. Professor Strauss seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
Chairperson Bell indicated that he would like Professor Collins to be he person
to appear at the public hearing to urge that Policy Paper 1, adopted in 1967 be
kept in preference to the currently proposed revision.

this ad hoc committee, however, we regret to say, does not measure up t: the
standard that has been set to this point. The inadequacies of this revision
could be outlined at great length and to the point of tedium. I will ruke
only two specific oomments. First, the tone and the apparent intention
of the document have changed. The original was a forthright statement cf
the best academic traditions, traditions that have worked well for many
years across the length and breadth of the country at all levels of higher
education from the smallest junior college to the largest university,
traditions that are accepted and trusted by faculty and administrations alike.
The new document is a statement of legal minimums. It falls far short 3f
what should be expected of the academic profession, far far short of whit
the academic profeEsion demands of itself. The new document might well
assist an administration that knew nothing of accepted academic policie&
' and procedures and
141

^ra 1-
ciona441.-keep it out of court, but it
would not provide the basis for the good governance without which no co:lege
or university can thrive and excel.
Second, the newly proposed Policy Paper 1, by stressing legal miniAums
rather than widely accepted good usage, seems invariably to advocate a _esser
standard. For instance, the college and university calendar which begins in the
fall and runs till the next spring or summer, determines the rhythum of the
hiring and evaluating of faculty members and the determination of reappointments.
Where the original policy paper specifies the traditional dates for notLfying
faculty of their rEappointment or nonreappointment, the proposed revision
contains a less definite statement requiring only what is said to be
"sufficient advance notice." And where the old policy paper states tha7 a
faculty member fac:_ng termination for cause has the "right to be represented

In the end it

higher standard of

profession, traditi ns which at this time already enjoy the endorsement p f the
Coordinating Board
n its Policy Paper 1 of 1967.
The Faculty of Texas Tech urges, in the strongest possible language,
that the present hi her and better standard be retained, that Policy Papar 1
adopted in 1967 be
ept in preference to the currently proposed revision.
The Texas Tech University Faculty is conscious of the drift toward inionization of universi y faculties and of the growth of collective bargainilg
across the country.
It is also conscious of the relative stability of tlings
in Texas, of the ge eral degree of contentment with things as they are, and
especially of the h ppy relations of the Tech Faculty with the Tech Administration and the Board
f Regents. We would regret to see a drastic change in
