Reasons: 

As evidenced by the events of the past several months, 

Senate cannot afford to cancel its regular meetings in 

June, July or August. Although Senate could not have 

averted the crisis, if it were in session, it, neverthe- 

less, could have provided some of the badly-needed leader- 

ship. It could have taken the initiative in pressing 

for reforms in the university and thus, assumed some of 

its responsibilities delegated by law.

2.

Furthermore, over 12 memb'ers of Senate petitioned the 

then Chairman of Senate to call an emergency meeting 

?

•

?

of

Senate before June 1 to discuss apart from other 

business, the reports of the 

Senate committees studying 

• the CAUT Report. It was indeed regretable that the 

Chairman denied our request. 

3.

There is no reason whatsoever to cancel meetings in June 

.July, or August. The University operates on a trimester 

system. Thus, the Summer Semester is an integral and equal 

part of the academic year like the other two semesters.
