Senate requests explanation
Beverly Sheets
Staff Writer
The Student Senate, in its
Tuesday night meeting,
reiterated discussion of the
Neo-Black Society issue when it
passed a motion to request an
explanatory letter from
Chancellor James Ferguson's
Faculty Committee. The
request, in a motion by Senator
Tim Connolly, is for a letter to
outline what the Committee
deemed as "new evidence" and
to further explain to Senate the
reasons for their decision.
The concern over the
explanation of "new evidence"
arose when Senate President
Cheryl Sosnik read a letter from
Chancellor Ferguson dealing
with the Senate's request for the
suspension of the "grant of
power" clause. This request,
made last week in the form of a
motion by Connolly, stated that
the mandate by Chancellor
Ferguson concerning NBS be
disregarded until there was a
written suspension by the
Chancellor of this clause.

In his letter, Chancellor
Ferguson stated that his intent
was not to suspend the "grant of
power" clause. The letter
explained that the Senate is
governed by the Board of
Governors the local Board of
Trustees and by the Chancellor,
all of whom have the authority
to deal with student discipline as
stated in the Code of the
University.
The letter further explained
that the Senate was acting as a
judicial body in the NBS hearing
proceedings and was bound to
provide fair hearing and due
process in accordance wwith the
Code of the University as well as
the Judicial Policy of the SGA
constitution.
The Faculty Ad Hoc
Committee found that the
Senate denied NBS fair hearing
and due process because new
evidence was introduced during
the executive session that
influenced the final decision of
Senate. Furthermore, NBS was
not give the opportunity to
refute this evidence, which the

committee also deemed to be of
doubtful validity.
Dean Jim Allen was present to
answer any questions following
the reading of the letter. He
re-explained some of the points
of the Chancellor's letter and
stressed the fact that the "action
taken by Senate was invalid"
because the body failed to
provide a fair hearing and due
process.
Questions were raised as to
the qualifications of the
members of the Faculty
Committee concerning Robert's
Rules of Order and other
proceedural problems. Dean
Allen answered this by saying
