|L 1/ r> 4’-|Pv- s' f, Support the Faculty To the Editor: members regarding this crucial matter. The Faculty-Senate should be given full support on their decision, by everyone at this school who wishes to see the fairest procedures used for evaluation. In addition, to' the Faculty-Senate opinion poll, it Is imperative that the entire student body get together and hold a University wide referendum showing a confidence vote for or against Bob Ketter. Last year, before the Board of Trustees changed their rules, Stony Brook was in a similar situation. Their student body came out in strong opposition to the Presidential choice, and therefore he was not appointed. It has been many years since the integral parts of this University have spoken out together, in one voice. Assessment of Robert Ketter must be handled In this way to Insure fairness to the whole University. Call for resignation Last week, the Faculty-Senate decided to hold an opinion poll regarding President Ketter’s choice to stay on as this University’s President. Their decision will undoubtedly cause much commotion In Albany because the Board of Trustees recently changed the rules regarding the evaluation process of SUNY Presidents which now mandates that opinion polls are specifically prohibited. The Trustees’ new rules also eliminate the committee composed of reps from the Professional Staff Senate, University Council, Administration, and the Student Senate. In Its place, evaluation will be carried on by three university presidents,, from schools outside the SUNY system. Chancellor Wharton, with Robert Ketter’s Input, will choose the three evaluators. It Is quite obvious that the Board of Trustees does not want much, or any Input from University Editor’s note: The following Is e copy of e letter addressed to Irwin Johnson, Master of the College of Urban Studies.' - IBHfl m To Irwin Johnson: The following matter of utmost importance requires your immediate attention. Over the summer, the College of Urban Studies acquired two residential coordinators, Hillary Schreter and Barbara Terkowltz. It Is our contention that both were illegally hired; in violation of New York State law arid the College’s own charter. New York State law provides that open applications and interviews must be held for any State-funded positions.- Furthermore, the College’s own charter states that the Board of Governors must approve all candidates for positions in the College. This did not take place. In addition to the preceding legal requirements, it is the general opinion of the residents of the College of Urban Studies that the two who were \hired\ are completely unqualified for the positions they hold. They possess no semblance of how to proceed with the organization of the College and refuse to listen to or trust those who are knowledgable. Neither has any experience with dormitory students at UB and their social lives. The coordinators have shown no effectiveness at communicating with the residents. , We, the active members of the College of Urban Studies, do hereby requst the dismissal of Hillary Schreter and Barbara Terkowltz from the residential positions they hold. *£■•*■ f Barry E.
