breokdown Communicqtion Samuelsdeniesbeing on leave,Metro admin maintainsposition

By Dnid Pollan and GeofWollcrman dpollan@nscd,erlu,gmllcrm@mscd.edu The former vice presidentof student services, who resignedon Oct. 16 after being placed on adminishative leave, will remain on leave until Nov. 1, accordingto Metro spokeswoman CathyLucas.

Douglas Samuelswas originally scheduled to return from leave on Oct. 25 to assumehis new duties as a faculty membei il tle African and Africa:: AmericaaStudiesDepartnent.

"It was just a matter of Douglasbeing able to get on campusto talk to tle chair of Africa:r and African Americal studies," Lucas said regardingthe new date.

Samuels, however, said he was never on administrative Ieave a.nd is planning on returnilg to Metro ttris week to discuss his teaching arrangements with AAS chair Ronald Stephens.

"I'm not on admi.nistrativeleave at this tirne," Samuelssaid. "As far as I know, I arn

When askedwhy he thought his leavewas pushedback a week, Samuelsrepeatedthat he was ulaware of the situation.

'I don't know anythi:rg about that. I don't know wheretlnt's comingfrom," he said.

Accordingto Lucas,Samuelswas put on adminisftzliyg leave on 0ct. 10. He then resigned from the positionon Oct. 16, citing personalreasons.Sanuels'resignationcamelessthal a year into his tenure,andhewouldnot com-ent ontJte specificsof the personalreasonsthat he cited.

Lucas said she could not elaborateon tJte terms of Samuels'leave or his reasonsfor resigning becauseboth are persomel matters, which a state institution has tlte right not to ' ilisclose.

Shawl Worthy replaced Samuelsand will act as interim vice presidentof studentservices until a permanentreplacementis namedWhen he was hired it was as vice president of studentservicesald as a professorof African and Alrican American studies, Sa:nuels said.

'When you hire me, you hire me as al adminisfi'4f61and a professor,"he said. "I don't movealongfrom oneinstitution to anotherwitlout doingwhat I considermy passion,which is teachirs."

Lucas confirmedthat Samuels'contract ilcludeda provisiontlrat would allow hi::r to move into a faculty positionif he choseto do so.

Metro President Stephen Jordan handpicked Samuelsas his sole candidatefor the position of vice president of student services, circumventhg the sta:ndardselection process, which in the past has included fielding a pool of candidates.

"He (Jordan)felt that he hadtle right canditlate for the positionand diclut feel he neededto broadenthe pool," Lucassaid.

Samuelsvras referredto Jordanby Jordan's formervicepresidentof studentservicesat Eastem WashingtonUniversity,Lucas said. Jorda:: then met with Samuelson a coupleof occasions, as well as with faculty, staff and comnunity leaden in Portland, Ore.,where Samuelsused to teach. Samuelswas then brought.in front of the Metro Board of llustees, Student Govemnent Assembly,Faculty Senateand other campus constituenciesfor intewiews.

After JordannominatedSamuelsto ttre position in November2005, the Board of Tfustees approvedtJlenomination.

"The administrationdoesall the hiring and the boardjust follows its lead,' said Bmce Benson, chair of the board. When asked if he was aware of any issues the board may have had

with Samuels,Bensondeclinedto comrnent.

"I don'tt}ink it's appropriatefor meto comment on any personnelmatters regarding the institution," he saiil.

Before comingto Meko last year, Samuels servedas the vice provostfor studentalfairs at Portland State University fron Sept. l, 2001, until Sept.15,2005,whenhe becamean associ ate professorof black studies.

Samuelssaid tlere was no paralielbetween his time at PSU and his current situation at Metro.

"Everyinstitution is different," he said. "It's not unusual for administratorsto movein and out of faculty positions. . . tlre core of what I do is teach."Samuelssaid.

By GeofWollerman gwollerm@mscd.edu This summerin Coloradoa gtoup of concerned citizens brought a lawsuit against the secretary of state charging that thousandsof voting machineswere not properlycertified and were stiLl vL:.lnerable to fraud. Accordir:gto the DenverDistrictJudge DenverPost,il September lawrence Malzanares ruled that t}te secretary of state'sotfrcehad neglectedits dutresand that the machineswere not properly certified; but that it was too late to do alythhg about it.

Everystate in tlre countrynow utilizes some kind of electronicvoting machinein at least one of its precincts.Proponentsof tlre machinessay tley haveincreasedthe efflciencyof voting, but otherspoht out that tle machinesaretoo easily rnanipulatedand subjectto fraud. Whateverthe virtues andpidalls of digital electiontechnologr, ens thing is cerLain:It is here to stay.

Since the early 1980s, several bipartivn groups have put together voluntary regulation suggestionsfor voting systemsthat would reduce concernsabout election fraud.

Plus/minuspolicy consideredagain Ey fosie lllcmaier iklemaie@mscd.adu

Metro's current student handbook states tlat a plus/minusgrading policy will be implementeil by fall 2007, brt the date is now being pushedback dueto administrativereviewof the policy.

Metro President Stephen Jordal has assigneda committee,chairedby newly appoi:rted Provost Rodolfo Rocha, to review the poliry firther after concernsaboutits implementation, accordingto Metro spokeswoma:rCathyLucas. " [Dr. Jordan's)problemwas that it was not mandatory' Lucassaid.

Rochadeclhed to commenton the progress of the committee.

"The academicside from top to bottom had problemswith it," said Metro's registrar, Jeff 'Implementationhas now beenput off Johnson. i::definitely."

The pluVminus grading system would al low professorsto assigna plus or minus to a letter grade, thus chalging the point value of that grade.

The possibility of the system'simplementation has been on the Faculty Senate'sagenda most recently since fall 2005, but has been a years. concerD at Metrothe pastsevera-l

The conceptwas first broughtto the faculty in 1998and againin 2004,a:rdeachtime it was pushedbackto a later datedueto lack of faculty interest.In fall 2005, at the Oct. 19 meethg, pluVminusgradingwas presentedto the faculty along with idormation concerningits history andwitl argumentsfor ald against.

Argunents for the poliry includedthe view that it wor:ld allow for a more accurateform of assessment,cwbing grade inflation and grade contestingfrom students.The ArnericanAssociation of CollegiateRegistrarsand Admissions Officersencouragesthe use of the system.

Argurents against the policy includedthat it would force professorsto pigeonholesludents into smallercategories,would not accuratelyassessthe students'performalce,would increase gradeappealsand wonld not provideprecision in grading.

The gradefor academicprobationcouldpossibly chalge from a D to a C-,affectilg students who seek financial aid and athletes,who must receivea 2.0 GPAor higherto qualiIy. Assistant atJrletic director Jennifer Fraser said a pluVnhus grading system would not changethe NCAArequirementof a 2.0 GPAfor athletes.Shesaid the athletics departmentsup' ports the system"if it's goingto better t}Ie institution as a whole.r Student GovernmentAssembly President JackWylie, who is a studentmemberon the new committee,said he thfuks a plus/minusgrading systemwould be beneficial.So far all decisions

made have left it up to the professorwhether theywantto assignplus or minusgrades.

"There is a high amount of inequity,"\Ifulie It needsto said."It leavesa lot to the professor. be mandatory" The SGAgavetheir approvalof sucha policy in March2006.Wylie saidtheywere askedwhat they tl nk of the concept,but not about how it wonld be implemented. "l imaginethe SGAas a whole would support it if it was implementedir t}te right way," he said."Wewerejust askedto makea yes or no stalce on it. Weweren't askedif it shouldbe ma:rdatory.It males mewonderif it hasall been doneproperly."

Wylie said regarcllessof if the pluVminus gradingpasses,the current gradingpolicyneeds improvement.

"The policy is very open.Professorsare not requiredto make 90 percentan A," he said.

Wth a manilatory plus/minus system,students can receive ulequally weighted letter grades.

A studentin one classwith a professorwho doesnot give a plus or minusconldget a B with, for example,an 89 percent,but only receivethe respectivegradepoints,while a studentwith the samegraile in a class whoseprofessorgives a plus br minus would get the additionalpoints a B+ is worth.

"The chalce of passing a course depends entirely on ttre faculty,"Wylie said.

By fimy Woodward awoodwa5@mscd.edu Sincethe theft of a laptopil March,Metro's Informahon Techlolory departmenthas been taling steps toward strengtlening security on Metro'scomputers.

IT has been focusing on network services like MetroConnectby implementingthe Automatic Timeout of Idle Sessionspoliry ald by requidngthat studentschangethei passwords everysemester,accordingto GeorgeMiddlemist, vice presidentof the department.

Underthe timeout policy,studentshave 15 minutes of inactivity while loggedon to MetroConnectbeforethe programautomaticallylogs them out.

Timedsessionsare neededbecausemost studentsand faculty forget to log off of Metro's sites, especiallyin computerlabswhere 'people usuallyjust walk away without logging off the site," Middlemist said. This. poses a security risk il which anyonewould be ableto sit at the computerald accessthe account.

IT has not yet decidedhow long the timeout sessionwill be ald plansto changettre time frameof the sessions,but aII final decisionswill be madeby the department'svice president.

JackWiley,presidentof the StudentGovernment Assenbly, said he is concernedaboutthe policy statement.

"Whatmy concernis , is not aroundthe issue of security . .. our policy doesn'thaveany kind of check and bala:rcesysterr,' he said. "Right now all authority is given to t}Ie vice president of informationtechnologr."

Midrllemistsaid he will be havingan "open house" where students can come with their questionsor concerns,and he will be able to provide them with in-formationand answers tley need.

'The plan is for peopleto comeand talk and sharewhat their needsare so we can balance that with what will make us a little more secure,' Middlemistsaid.

In responseto the idea that the autlority to establishtimeout sessionslies u'ith one man,Midrllemistsaid,'Youhaveaskedthe CIO, which in tlris caseis me,to usetJreirknowledge, and you've hired them to do thejob for you, so you've got to give them the latitude to do tlat job."

Wiley questionedwhat would happenonce Middlemist was no longer the vice president aLrdwhat wonld happenwhen a new vice presidentcamein.

"I don't havea problemwith Georgehaving that authority,"Wiley sairl. 'But when you put in a policy change,you haveto think aboutthe unintended consequences."

IT has also begun to implementthe password policy which requires a passwordbe at Ieast eight cbaracterslong with a mixture of upper- a:rd lower-caseletters, numbersa:rd punctuation rnarks.

Tou can't use names," Middlemist said.

"And you can't use any word that can be founil in the dictionary."

The passwordpolicy is a first for tle colIege,and Middlemistsaiil it mayseen smallbut is a hugestep for Meho.

pluns lodominule spoce Bush outlines This monththe Bushadminiskation declassified its new national space policy, origimlly formulatedin August.

It hasn't generatedthe sarnesort of controversy tlat otler executiveactivities have,but it is oneof the mostaudaciouspolicy shifts this adminis!'4fien has initiated. It renegeson a]most 40 years of treaty-establishedinternationallaw, not to mentionthe well-establishedtraditions of spaceexploration.

In 1967the Outer SpaceTleaty was signed into effectby severalnations,includingtlte United States.

According to the State Departnent, t}te treaty 'sought to prevent'a new form of colonial competition'and the possibledamagetlat selfseekingexploitation (of space)might cause."

Thus it stipulates tlat the exploration of spacebe limiteil to peacefirl,scientific endeavors, a:rd tlrat no one uury claim territory test weaponsor stationweaponsof massdestruction in spaceor on celestialbodies.

Furttrermore,ttre outer SpaceTfeatyinsists tlat spaceexplorationshouldbe "carriedout for the benefitand in the interests of all countries.'

Bush's new National Space Policy contradicts tJre soirit a:rd tradition of

by signirg the 0uter SpaceTfeaty, the United Statesagreedthat space"shall be freefor exploration ard use by all Stateswithout discrimination of any kild."

How can this country claim to support tle freedomof otler countriesto explorespaceand then, in the samebreat}, sayit will activelydeny that freedom?How wi]l the Bushadminisuation defue what makes a spaceprogramhostile to its interests?

[RIrWffiilfR Doesthis distinction of what is contrary to mscd.edn wiesnere@ U.S. interests even matterwhen ttre president space exploration codified in the Outer Space tells the secretaryof defenseto denyfreedomof Tfeaty.More inportantly, it declaresthe United action in spaceto our adversarieswithout mahing any qualificationsas to what tle adversaries States' intention to waltonly violate it. poliry pays printlte lip service to the can and cant do? Doesnt allowing spaceproSure, grams peace, internationalism but it also only for allies a:rd/orthosein accordance ciples of and sees as with U.S. interestsamountto a claim of U.S. emphasizestlat the United States space gateway sovereignty in space? a to securingits own interests. the new spacepoliry takes tle da:rgerous The policy goeson to say tlat arms control precedentof pre-emptivestrikes into space,es- agreementsmust not impair "activities in space tablishingt}re govemment'sintentionto "deny.. . for U.S.nationalinterests."Soin otler words,if adversariestle use of spacecapabilitieshostile the presidentdecidesit is i:r our national interest to test freaponsin space,tlnt is what will to U.S.nationalinterests."

It later stipulates that the secretary of happen- internationaltreatiesbe danned.

The only weapons tlut wonld be costdefensehas a responsibility to deny freedom of action in spaceto adversaries.Even tlough effectiveto have in spaceare weaponsof mass

destruction,which we have signed an explicit agreementnot to put into space;so what is t}Ie President'sintentionwhenhe puts forth a poliry rejectingarms control in space?

What messagedoes it send to the world when the United Statesdeclaresits intention to ignore arms control treaties even as it threat" ens countries that pursue weaponsprograms?

Evenworse,this comesas Russiaand Chinaare calling for firther treaty regulations on weapons in spaceald the Centerfor Nonproliferation Studies says "there is growing concern about the potential for a spacearms race." the CNS further states tlat "tle legitinacy of any space arms conhol norm dependson the buy-in of tle major space-faringnations."

As more nations gain space capabilities, shoultlnt this country endeavorto set an example insteadof layingthe groundworkfor a celestial arms race?The Outer SpaceTleaty laid the groundworkfor U.S.-Sovietcooperationin space and kept the ColclWar arms race from spreading to ortit. I'd saythat's a pretty tood endorsement. Mayte we shoultlnt discardinternational law on ttre whim of an administrationtoo shortsightedto seetlat honoringtreaty obligationsis achrallyin ttre country'sbest interests.
