B. Prehearing Procedure in Disciplinary Cases
4. No disciplinary action may commence if more than three years have passed between the time when the Chancellor or Chancellor’s designee, who is authorized to initiate proceedings in accordance with SBL 336.B.1 and divisional disciplinary procedures, knew or should have known about the alleged violation of the Code of Conduct, and the delivery of the notice of proposed disciplinary action. For purposes of this section, if an administrator or employee in a supervisory role (e.g., program director, department chair, dean) has actual knowledge about an alleged violation, then it will be conclusively presumed that the Chancellor or Chancellor’s designee should have known about the alleged violation. |

US House of Reps Endorses Fight to Save Law Threatening Colleges that Bar Military Recruiters - Chronicle Article |

House Endorses a Fight to Save Law That Threatens Colleges That Bar Military Recruiters
By KELLY FIELD
Washington
The U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution on Wednesday urging the Bush administration to challenge a November court decision that allowed colleges to restrict military recruiting on their campuses. That decision, by a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, in Philadelphia, said that a coalition of law schools had a First Amendment right to exclude recruiters whose hiring policies violate campus codes barring discrimination against gay men and lesbians. The 2-to-1 ruling blocked enforcement of a decade-old law, known as the Solomon Amendment, that allows the federal government to withhold money from colleges that do not provide full access to military recruiters (The Chronicle, November 30, 2004). The day after the decision, Harvard Law School announced that it would once again ban military recruiters from its campus -- a move that Yale Law School followed this week. The Justice Department said in January that it planned to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn the ruling. Pending that request and the Supreme Court's decision on whether to hear the case, the department has asked the appeals court to allow the Solomon Amendment to stand. The appeals court has not yet responded definitively to that request. Wednesday's Congressional resolution, which does not have the force of law, encourages the department to "aggressively" fight the court decision, and not to find "a decision affecting one jurisdiction to be binding on other jurisdictions." Rep. John Kline, a Republican of Minnesota who is a cosponsor of the resolution, said that law schools that deny military recruiters access to their campuses are "doing a disservice to the safety and security of the United States." Mr. Kline is circulating a letter among his colleagues calling on House leaders to deny earmarks to law schools that limit military recruiting. Forty-three representatives have signed on so far. "The most effective legislative remedy to confront this academic arrogance has been denied to the military, but Congress has another powerful financial incentive," Mr. Kline wrote in the letter, which is addressed to the chairmen of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees. Earmarks are noncompetitive grants awarded to colleges at the direction of Congress, and many institutions receive millions of dollars through such appropriations every year. It is unclear whether the colleges involved in the litigation over the Solomon Amendment would stand to lose much money if Mr. Kline's proposal is accepted. The House vote came a day after Yale Law School officials announced that they would again bar military recruiters from their campus. The school had suspended a previous ban in 2002 (The Chronicle, October 2, 2002). Its decision this week was a response to a ruling on Monday, by the U.S. District Court in Bridgeport, Conn., that sided with 44 Yale faculty members in a lawsuit against the Department of Defense that paralleled the litigation in Philadelphia. In the Connecticut case, Judge Janet C. Hall agreed with the appeals court that the Solomon Amendment is unconstitutional.

Chair Yuen's Letter to President Bush - See formatted version on the public website: http://www.senate.ucsb.edu/current/ |
| |
The Honorable President George W. Bush March 12, 2003 The White House Washington, D.C. Dear Mr. President: On Feb. 24, the UCSB Division of the Academic Senate met and voted 82 to 4 to adopt the following resolution on the possible war with Iraq: We the faculty of the University of California Santa Barbara endorse the statement of American Nobel Laureates on a Unilateral, Preventive Attack on Iraq; viz "The undersigned oppose a preventive war against Iraq without broad international support. Military operations against Iraq may indeed lead to a relatively swift victory in the short term. But war is characterized by surprise, human loss, and unintended consequences. Even with a victory, we believe that the medical, economic, environmental, moral, spiritual, political, and legal consequences of an American preventive attack on Iraq would undermine, not protect, U.S. security and standing in the world." Since many faculty members voiced dissatisfaction with the fact that they were unable to attend and participate, a subsequent informal electronic poll was offered on the subject of endorsement of this resolution and an additional question of whether faculty believed that the Senate should be involved in such issues. This poll of the faculty was just concluded on March 10, and the UCSB Academic Senate’s position to endorse the resolution, above, was confirmed by a vote of 173 to 16. In addition, 37 votes were cast in favor of an opinion that the Academic Senate should not take a position on this issue. As citizens of a free and democratic society, we are exercising our right and responsibility to express freely our opinion on this important matter, which can have a significant impact on the future of the whole human race. It is our hope and prayer that as the leader of our great democracy, you will take time to listen to different opinions and consider all facts and options prior to taking this very serious step of initiating a war against Iraq without broad international support. Respectfully on behalf of the UCSB Academic Senate, Walter W. Yuen, Chair, The Santa Barbara Division of the Academic Senate |

Results of the Academic Senate informal poll on the Iraq War Resolution:
173 votes or 76.55% to endorse the resolution; 16 votes or 7.08% to not endorse; 37 votes or 16.37% that the Senate should not take a position on this. |
| |
The informal poll was only available electronically and had a return of 226 e-ballots or 20.5%. See the news item on the Divisional meeting on February 24 to read the wording of the resolution. Senate Chair Yuen stated that these results will be included in the letter to President Bush. That letter will be posted here and on the public website for information. |

GE News: the ballot is off; legislators vote for new proposal |
| |
At the special meeting of the Faculty Legislature on December 5, 2002, legislators voted unanimously to rescind approval of sections of the General Education Task Force report that they had approved previously, in May. As a result, no general ballot on the measure will be conducted. Instead, legislators charged the Undergraduate Council, in consultation with faculty executive committees, to develop a specific proposal. Although no specific deadline was determined, it is expected that a focused work-group will tackle the charge in Winter Quarter and bring a new proposal for a Faculty Legislature vote before the end of the academic year. |

mySenate interactive web-based system password and logon instructions |
| |
The Academic Senate office has created a secure, web-based interactive communication system for all Senate members. The mySenate system provides access to information and action items that are specifically for Senate members, and tailored to their needs and responsibilities. For instance, you will not only be able to apply for travel grants using mySenate, but the various research grants will also be available through these new means. Since this new system is an improvement over applying for grants over our public website, that means of application will be discontinued on December 2.
Access to mySenate is simple. However, because it is a secure system, there is a one-time password change and terms of use agreement procedure.
Upon successful login, you will be asked to choose a new password and agree to the mySenate Terms of Use. You will also be asked to verify your email address. If you encounter any difficulties, please contact the Senate Office at (805) 893-2885 or web.admin@senate.ucsb.edu.
Using the mySenate system, you will be able to update your personal information in our database, as well as monitor your Senate grant and committee service history. Members and representatives who serve on councils and committees will now have convenient access to the relevant Senate resources. General information, deadlines, calls and action items will be posted continuously by the staff. You will receive emails when there are items that requires your response; however, it will be up to you to log on regularly to read the news items. Look for the first campus-wide action item in mid-December, which will be the annual Call for Volunteers for Senate council and committee service.
The mySenate system has been tested on both PCs and Macs using Internet Explorer versions 4.0 and higher, and with Netscape versions 4.7 and higher. For best performance, we recommand using Internet Explorer 6.0 or Netscape 7.0.
The Senate staff will be happy to assist you at any time during the month of November, and starting in December, we will have “office hours” every Tuesday from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. when staff will be available to answer any questions or give demonstrations. Call or come by and we will be glad to help. |
