The 600-700 stu.dents who have attended the stU;lant plenums feel that tbh resolutions passed by that group should be considered tha ',expressions of the "student body". although a good number of individual students disagree with those resolutions. I,Te realize that not all students are present at the meetings and " , that conservative ones are more likely to be absent, but we ~eel that this is also true of student referenda, '..rhich are accepted as the voice of the student 'body. ln also hope that the faculty realizes that the amount of discussion of issues Te which occurred at the meetings does not reflect the amount of student consideration that has gone into the resolutions. (Amplificaion) January 9 1 )That 'ttl'e support SASS demands as proposals. 2)That ",re do not support SASS demands as demands. Amplifications: INe feel that these resolutions mean that the student body supports the substantive content of the demands, but not their presentation as demands. 3)W urge the faculty to decide immediately on implementation of the goals e embodied in SASS demands and that "substantive implementation" is defined as the establishment of a committee for selection of a black administrator or counselor and of a committee to establish specifics of a new admissions procedure. January 11 The actions of SASS have dramatized the inadequacies of the decision-making processes at Swarthmore, generating in the minds of many concerned members of the community the need for a probing re-evaluation of the procedures which Swarthmore has utilized for institutional change. The specific suggestions for the structure of future decis ion-making should be carefully and thoughtfully cmnsidered. Rather than a hasty and ill-conceiVed proposal for the restructuring of such decisinn-making prodesses, a commitment needs to be made nmv, on the !=6-rt of the faculty, administration, and students, to the general theory of the methods of institutional change l,rhich would be more reSpOnsive to the needs of the community, i.e., That a legitimate process be eEtablished for decision-making, constmtuted such that it recognizes the right on the part of those groups which will be affected by the decision to take part in the process. Thus faculty, administration, and students~d represent their respective constituencies in the decision-making body. The importance of such an understanding of the process of L~stmtutional change is that it provides for the community a decision-making process which can be trusted, 't-J'hich is neither arbitrary nor obscure, and "rhli:ith provides channels for the legitimate expression of the various points of view of those who will be affected by the decision. " January 1;3 1 )We support the inclusion of blac1<: people at all relevant levels of decision, making in the College. 1J hile in the future we feel that this SASS demand will be r met by the appointment of black faculty, administratmoB, or counselors, until suvh time at there exists sufficient black representatbn in the faculty to accomplish adequate representation of black interests. this demand must be met by the inclusion of black students or outside resource peo"le acceptable to black students. This is to ensure that no decision concerning black people can be made without black interest being represented in the process of reaching that decision. �<'-. • • • :' . STUDENT BODY RESOLUTIONS (CONT.) Page 2 Amplificafun: This statement was passed partially to express the view that the question of student power is not involved explicitly in the pr~sent crisis. The studBBts feel that consideration of this issue should be postponed until next semester. . 2)Until the tac:ulty has finished with the agenda of SASS demands to the fac1,ll,.. ty's satisfaction, -and until SASS has responded to all the decisions made by the faculty, we propose a)that all academic busines#>f the College be suspended and b)that at this time this boQy will decide whether academic College business should be resumed. Amplification: The students realize that the plenum is in no position to enforce its viewpoint on the question pf academic business. This resolution, therefore, should just be taken as a statement of the student BOdy's feeling on the question of academic business and not as an attempt to dictate that classes not be held. 3)At this time the Ad Hoc Black Admissions eommittee should be composed of four students elected by SASS, one student elected by the student body, one faculty member endorsed by SASS, two faculty members elected by the faculty, and t",,!O members of the administration. Amplification:This composition was proposed so that the viewpoint of the student boQy 1.muld be represented ~thout enabling the black perspective to be overruled by a 6-4 vote. January 13 1 )~ve underst~ll:lt as the Vice-president of SASS has stated, hhat SASS now represents the interests of all membelS of the black Swarthmore community, and we also understand that black members of said commumity who are not members of SASS may vote on issues concerning their interests. In order to insure that in the future , all black members of the Swarthmore community are represented in the decj,sion-making pro'cesseS t we ask SASS to guaran....tee that non-SASS black members of the community of Swarthmore be informed of all meetings of SASS, always be allowed to vote on issues decided at such meetings, and be informed of all decisions made at such meetings, without regard to the extent of their previous participation. 2)That all money won by the College Bowl Team (and that will be won) be used to implement the programs regarding black admissions adopted by the College. 3)The students believe that the injustice of barring student observers from faculty meetings has b ecome particularly obvious in the recent crisis. We feel t that this faculty action violates thf stated desire to increase student-facul~ communication on the issues. \;le therefore protest tee faculty's decision in favor of closed meetings, and '\-1e urge that the faculty meetings in the future be open to observers. with student participation a110wed by a ma~ority vote of the faculty. Amplification:W do not mean to deny the right of the faculty to hold closed e meetings when necessary (e.g. when personalities are discussed), but merely with to express our ~eeling that meetings should ~eneral be open. The following seven resolutions were considered together: 4a)W urge that the academic business of the College be suspended until SASS e has voluntarily vacated the AdmisSbns Office. (Defeated:206 yes, 315 no, 27 abst.) 4b)Giv~'p the good faith shown by the faculty in acting promptly and completely in its eyes on the two sets of SASS demands, the student body endorses a return to classes Tuesday, since the faculty so desires. We feel that such problems as remain can best be solved through open discussion in a regular academic atmosphere. (Defaated:201 yes, 355 nOt 40 abst.) �STUDENT BODY RESOLUTIONS (CONT.) Page 3 4c )1t/e endorse the clarified demands of SASS. We cnnsider that all academic business should continue to be suspended until these demands have been met to the satisfaction of 'SASS. We request the faculty to convene at . their earliest con~ venience to consider and act upon these demands. (Passed: 306 yes, 264 no, 34 ab.) 4d)In ord~r tt .reach a speeqy solution to the crisis, the students will return to class unle~s a)SASS comes out of the Admissions Office to negotiate, and b)the admi~istration does not re-enter the Admissions Office until negotiations are concluded. (Defeated:117 yes, 346 no, 101 abst.) 4e)In the light of SASS' clarification of demands, we urge the faculty to meet tomotXow and in the light of this, that there be no classes tomorrow. We will meet again in plena~ s~ssion to decide o~urther actions when the faculty and SASS have responded to these developments. tDefeated:179 yes, 30~ no, 75 abst.) 4f)Having already expressed support for SASS demands .. of 23 December and 9 January, we would like at this time to tnpport the faculty's response to these proposals as re?resenting a satisfaacory attempt to act on these demands inthe best interests of all parties. If SASS continues to have objections to the faculty action and to present new demands, we urge that, in good faith, SASS open discassions of these points direct~ with the faculty , out side of the Admissions Office. We cannot guarantee our continued support for the actions of SASS through suspension of adademic business if such ac~ions do not reflect good faith. (Passed:281 yes, 280 no, 33 abst.) 4g)\Ne recognize that the decision to hold a class is a personal matter between the faculty and the students involved in the class. ~-1e also recognize that an individual's decision to attend classes is a personal decision based on a number of criteria. HOTtTeVer, we urge the faculty and students who do meet in classes to consider collective~ whether OD not t~ want to hold class in light of the present crisis situation. (Defeated:208 yes, 305 no, 60 abst.) Amplification:Tbe voting procedure on these motions definite~ needs clarification. After all seven propesals were presented, it was decided that the order in which they were voted on Hight prejudice the outcome (i.e. if from radIi:cal to conservative, the more radical would be favored). Therefore, it was decided that the proposals would be arranged in order along the cnntinuum from radical to conservative and that voting would be from both ends inward (i.e. most radical first, most conservative second, next most radical third, etc.) Thus the voting did not indicate exact student support foo eacti proposal, in that students who wanted strong statements one way or the other ceased to vote in favor of the more modBBate positions,once an extreme kad been passed. It was decided to hold a run-off between the two positions 't-rinning majority support (c and f). The run-off was held twenty minutes after the voting on the first seven and some people may have left. The vote was 4c) 315, 4f) 230, abstain 31. January 14 vie propose that the money from the one fast allowed this year by Saga be devoted to black scholarship, support, etc. General Amplification:Questions of good faith have also been raised. We feel that the vast majority of students have been acting in good faith in that they feel igath~~~sth~t~veestbseen dnin~~2ince~SASS ente~edtthe Admissions Office has been or swar~luuore CO~lege. ~ur nermore, we know or no stUdents who favor the destruction of the College and are acting toward that end.

The importance of such an understanding of the process of L~stmtutional change is that it provides for the community a decision-making process which can be trusted, 't-J'hich is neither arbitrary nor obscure, and "rhli:ith provides channels for the legitimate expression of the various points of view of those who will be affected by the decision. " January 1;3 1 )We support the inclusion of blac1<: people at all relevant levels of decision, making in the College. 1J hile in the future we feel that this SASS demand will be r met by the appointment of black faculty, administratmoB, or counselors, until suvh time at there exists sufficient black representatbn in the faculty to accomplish adequate representation of black interests. this demand must be met by the inclusion of black students or outside resource peo"le acceptable to black students. This is to ensure that no decision concerning black people can be made without black interest being represented in the process of reaching that decision. �<'-. • • • :' . STUDENT BODY RESOLUTIONS (CONT.) Page 2 Amplificafun: This statement was passed partially to express the view that the question of student power is not involved explicitly in the pr~sent crisis. The studBBts feel that consideration of this issue should be postponed until next semester. . 2)Until the tac:ulty has finished with the agenda of SASS demands to the fac1,ll,.. ty's satisfaction, -and until SASS has responded to all the decisions made by the faculty, we propose a)that all academic busines#>f the College be suspended and b)that at this time this boQy will decide whether academic College business should be resumed. Amplification: The students realize that the plenum is in no position to enforce its viewpoint on the question pf academic business. This resolution, therefore, should just be taken as a statement of the student BOdy's feeling on the question of academic business and not as an attempt to dictate that classes not be held. 3)At this time the Ad Hoc Black Admissions eommittee should be composed of four students elected by SASS, one student elected by the student body, one faculty member endorsed by SASS, two faculty members elected by the faculty, and t",,!O members of the administration. Amplification:This composition was proposed so that the viewpoint of the student boQy 1.muld be represented ~thout enabling the black perspective to be overruled by a 6-4 vote. January 13 1 )~ve underst~ll:lt as the Vice-president of SASS has stated, hhat SASS now represents the interests of all membelS of the black Swarthmore community, and we also understand that black members of said commumity who are not members of SASS may vote on issues concerning their interests. In order to insure that in the future , all black members of the Swarthmore community are represented in the decj,sion-making pro'cesseS t we ask SASS to guaran....tee that non-SASS black members of the community of Swarthmore be informed of all meetings of SASS, always be allowed to vote on issues decided at such meetings, and be informed of all decisions made at such meetings, without regard to the extent of their previous participation. 2)That all money won by the College Bowl Team (and that will be won) be used to implement the programs regarding black admissions adopted by the College. 3)The students believe that the injustice of barring student observers from faculty meetings has b ecome particularly obvious in the recent crisis. We feel t that this faculty action violates thf stated desire to increase student-facul~ communication on the issues. \;le therefore protest tee faculty's decision in favor of closed meetings, and '\-1e urge that the faculty meetings in the future be open to observers. with student participation a110wed by a ma~ority vote of the faculty. Amplification:W do not mean to deny the right of the faculty to hold closed e meetings when necessary (e.g. when personalities are discussed), but merely with to express our ~eeling that meetings should ~eneral be open. The following seven resolutions were considered together: 4a)W urge that the academic business of the College be suspended until SASS e has voluntarily vacated the AdmisSbns Office. (Defeated:206 yes, 315 no, 27 abst.) 4b)Giv~'p the good faith shown by the faculty in acting promptly and completely in its eyes on the two sets of SASS demands, the student body endorses a return to classes Tuesday, since the faculty so desires. We feel that such problems as remain can best be solved through open discussion in a regular academic atmosphere. (Defaated:201 yes, 355 nOt 40 abst.) �STUDENT BODY RESOLUTIONS (CONT.) Page 3 4c )1t/e endorse the clarified demands of SASS. We cnnsider that all academic business should continue to be suspended until these demands have been met to the satisfaction of 'SASS. We request the faculty to convene at . their earliest con~ venience to consider and act upon these demands. (Passed: 306 yes, 264 no, 34 ab.) 4d)In ord~r tt .reach a speeqy solution to the crisis, the students will return to class unle~s a)SASS comes out of the Admissions Office to negotiate, and b)the admi~istration does not re-enter the Admissions Office until negotiations are concluded. (Defeated:117 yes, 346 no, 101 abst.) 4e)In the light of SASS' clarification of demands, we urge the faculty to meet tomotXow and in the light of this, that there be no classes tomorrow. We will meet again in plena~ s~ssion to decide o~urther actions when the faculty and SASS have responded to these developments. tDefeated:179 yes, 30~ no, 75 abst.) 4f)Having already expressed support for SASS demands .. of 23 December and 9 January, we would like at this time to tnpport the faculty's response to these proposals as re?resenting a satisfaacory attempt to act on these demands inthe best interests of all parties. If SASS continues to have objections to the faculty action and to present new demands, we urge that, in good faith, SASS open discassions of these points direct~ with the faculty , out side of the Admissions Office. We cannot guarantee our continued support for the actions of SASS through suspension of adademic business if such ac~ions do not reflect good faith. (Passed:281 yes, 280 no, 33 abst.) 4g)\Ne recognize that the decision to hold a class is a personal matter between the faculty and the students involved in the class. ~-1e also recognize that an individual's decision to attend classes is a personal decision based on a number of criteria. HOTtTeVer, we urge the faculty and students who do meet in classes to consider collective~ whether OD not t~ want to hold class in light of the present crisis situation. (Defeated:208 yes, 305 no, 60 abst.) Amplification:Tbe voting procedure on these motions definite~ needs clarification. After all seven propesals were presented, it was decided that the order in which they were voted on Hight prejudice the outcome (i.e. if from radIi:cal to conservative, the more radical would be favored). Therefore, it was decided that the proposals would be arranged in order along the cnntinuum from radical to conservative and that voting would be from both ends inward (i.e. most radical first, most conservative second, next most radical third, etc.) Thus the voting did not indicate exact student support foo eacti proposal, in that students who wanted strong statements one way or the other ceased to vote in favor of the more modBBate positions,once an extreme kad been passed. It was decided to hold a run-off between the two positions 't-rinning majority support (c and f). The run-off was held twenty minutes after the voting on the first seven and some people may have left. The vote was 4c) 315, 4f) 230, abstain 31. January 14 vie propose that the money from the one fast allowed this year by Saga be devoted to black scholarship, support, etc. General Amplification:Questions of good faith have also been raised. We feel that the vast majority of students have been acting in good faith in that they feel igath~~~sth~t~veestbseen dnin~~2ince~SASS ente~edtthe Admissions Office has been or swar~luuore CO~lege. ~ur nermore, we know or no stUdents who favor the destruction of the College and are acting toward that end. Two members of the student coordinating cmmmittee are willing to attend the faculty meeting to answer questions if the faculty so desires. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
