departments. It is assumed by the committee that whatever clearance is required has been obtained when a project carries academic credit is submitted to be included as a part of the Action Studies Program. Action Studies is a new program but one which the members of the committee feel very strongly can make a real contribution to faculty and student life at The University of Iowa. As with most new programs, mistakes have and will be made in its implementations. We ask that you accept these as mistakes due to inexperience with this type of program and the necessity to get it under way quickly so as to capitalize on the high level of student interest expressed at the preliminary meetings. Because it is a new program and the committee is still very much in a stage of "feeling its way", we would also welcome any suggestions on how to improve it. Finally, and as something of a commercial, we would welcome any suggestions any faculty member might have regarding possible topics for inclusion in the Action Studies Program. UNIVERSITY FACULTY COUNCIL Special Meeting House Chamber, Old Capitol Feb. 13, 1968 Present: Don Branson, Michael Brody, David Carew, Lawrence DenBesten, Donald B. Johnson, Jerry Kollros, Stow Persons, and Allan Vestal. Absent: Clarence Andrews, Richard Caplan, James Dickinson, Alton Fisher, Henry Hamilton, Richard Lloyd-Jones, Gilbert Maynard, Etta Rasmussen, and James Van Allen. Guests: Deans Boyd and Hubbard; Professors I. Kovarsky and W.D. Wade. Meeting called to order at 3:45 p.m. Discussion concerned a draft of the new FACULTY HANDBOOK. Of special interest were general decisions as to the scope of the inclusions and their generality, and thus the need to make either frequent or infrequent revisions of the HANDBOOK. Also of concern were the qualifications specified for each of the academic ranks, and thus the qualifications appropriate for promotion. A section on renewal or non-renewal of appointments of non-tenured faculty members was considered in relation to appropriate review by the appointee's colleagues, and in relation to written notice of non-renewal being delivered to the appointee at fixed time intervals before the end of the appointment period (approximately 3, 6, and 12 months before the ends of appointments of 1, 2, or 3 years, respectively). The meeting was adjourned at 5:20 p.m. J. Kollros Secretary pro tem.
