Conference Agenda
The Conference Agenda is currently a work-in-progress.
There will be elections for President, Vice-President and Officers-at-Large.
The Nominating Committee has made the following nominations:
President, Stephen Goldberg, Adelphi (right)
Vice-President, Eileen Burchell, Marymount - Fordham
Officer-at-Large, Ellen Banks, Daemen
Officer-at-Large, Kathleen Maurer Smith, Molloy
A presentation and discussion of various issues stemming from the AAUP
censure process are planned.
The Program Committee is still working out details,
but this is how the Saturday morning session is shaping up. Irwin
Yellowitz (City College/CUNY), Jonathan Knight (Director, Department
of Academic Freedom, Tenure, and Governance, AAUP national office),
and Jane Panek (Molloy College) are participating. The tentative
title for the session is "The Impact of AAUP Censure in the
Current Academic World."
A panel is envisaged in which each person will discuss a particular
aspect of the problem. Irwin Yellowitz will deal with AAUP policies
and practices in New York State. Jonathan Knight will explain the
general process viewed from the AAUP's national perspective. Jane
Panek will illustrate the point with an update on the recently formed
joint sub-committee to study "investigations." There will
be other presentations, followed by a general discussion opened to
the floor.
The Program Committee welcomes further ideas. You may get in touch
