Democratic reorganisation. The late student-faculty council (this body is no longer recognized by the Renison academic students; we have reconstituted ourselves the Renison academic assembly) has been fighting for a strong constitution f&r awhile, a constitution which would place power over important decisions in the hands of students and faculty. This seems more urgent than ever before to protect ourselves from any repetition of the current situation. If Towler is unconcerned with the students’ views about faculty and course contents, without a strong

constitution we will continue to be vulnerable to whatever measures he wishes to take’ to silence any further faculty or students who want to challenge his modus operandi. 6. Exposure of documents. We raise this issue in the interests of abolishing secret negotiations, a practice which we feel Towler has instituted at Renison. 7. End in-camera sessions. Like the two previous demands, we raise it as insurance against secret negotiations. Had it not been for the secrecy and distrust which Towler is so handy with, we feel that none of this could have happened. Since we want democracy and w,e want these particular teat hers, we would never have allowed this process to reach its absurd end if discussions had been held openly.
Due to the firing of Jeff.Forest and Hugh Miller and the cummary dismissal of Marsha Forest from her position at Renison, all regarded as totally unfounded by many students, faculty and staff, as well as other members of the University of Waterloo academic community, students have begun an organized protest. We no longer recognize the student-faculty council and have reconstituted ourselves the Renison Academic Assembly. In a six hour meeting Friday Nov. 1, 1974 the Assembly voted in favor of decisive action and demands. A boycott of all Renison classes will begin Monday Nov. 4, 1974 and will be carried through until the three faculty members are fully reinstated and satisfactory negotiations on all other demands are in process with the board of governors. This does not meati that the educational process will cease; after the first two days of the boycott students and faculty will be encouraged to meet outside Renison. We demand: 1. Immediate reipsfatement of Jeffrey Forest, Marsha Forest and Hugh Miller to their respective Renison College positions. 2. Resignation of John Towler. r .. 3. That no reprisals be taken against any member of our college community. 4. An open public ,hearing with the entire Renison board of*governors, all faculty, students and oth’er concerned parties: 5. A commitment from the board of governors that an immediate reorganization of the governing structures of Renison College be undertaken to reflect equal representation from all sections of this academic community as a safeguard against future exercise of arbitrary authority. 6. That all pertinent documents relating to the firings and related academic affairs be made available to all interested parties upon request. This specifically relates to certain defamatory allegations made by John Towler about faculty members, student rkpresentatives and the academic integrity of our institution. 7. An end to all in-camera sessions. The recent firings could only have occured in an atmosphere of secrecy and distrust. _

Hyma: I was surprised’by the firings due to the fact that we were not made aware before-hand of the decision to do so (to fire); it did not in fact pass through the Student-Faculty Council. Carole Irrizarry: No statement. (Part-Time professor) Donald M’Timkulu: No statement. Mark Nagler: As far as academic ‘integrity is concerned an explanation with regard to what has happened is owed to the faculty and students of Renison. Werner Packull: The people involved have my sympathy. I critise the way the firings were handled. But at the same time I feel it is a matter between the Administration atid the individuals involved. Sandra Sachs: I am very much shocked by what has happened. As far as I *am concerned it is an issue of principle of faculty being fired arbitrarily without adequate cause and without consultation, in a manner which entirely contravenes established procedure within the academic community. The underlined problems have to do_ with decision-making relationships between administration, faculty and students and nothing whatever to do with the academic competence of the people dismissed. I want to see them reinstated immediately and a constitution worked out for Renison which would ensure the participation of students and faculty in the decision-making process, and preelude the possibility of such a thing happening again. Harry Tuyn: No statement. Marlene Webber: Towler and the

Board of Governors have acted completely unprofessionally and have exercised arbitrary authority in the firings. Their actions are unacceptable. It is encouraging to see the strong protest sentiments the students are justly expressing in their planned boycott. As a faculty member I fully endorse th6 decisive protest which the students are launching in defense of student/faculty interests. Jeri Wine: What happened is incredible. The firing procedures were ill-adviced. Monna Zetner: The situation at Renison seems to me difficult for all concerned. I certainly feel sympathy for my colleagues. However I do not fe&l that simplisticstatements or solutions are pertinent for such- a complex situation, which seems tti me a culmination of severa1 longstanding issues and problms. I shall continue to hold classes. I do not feel that a boycott is helpful but I certainly do feel that students should feel free to make their own choices about the boycott. I continue to have some hopes that the present difficulty may be resolved without serious harm to anyone. Judith Miller: Many people espe-m cially at Renison are seeing this as a question of personalities, but I think that the issue is one of a clash between ideas of democratic participation and autocratic control. Darryl Bryant: An appallingmanifestation of arrogance, opportunism and disregard- for faculty, students and the college. I support the boycott. The rest of the faculty members could not be contacted.
The

CAUT - role In light of the recent firings at Renison College, of Hugh Miller and Jeffrey Forest, teachers a? many universities may be asking themselves “Can I be called in tomorrow and be advised of my dismissal and can I have virtually all of my rights in that institution between the time of the announcement and the time of my dismissal, taken away from me ?” Though Renison Administration would wish it that easy, it may not be. All university teachers are protected in this area by a body called the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT). Canadian utiiversities belong to this organization and although many small universityaffiliated colleges, such as Renison, are not direct members, they are expected to follow the policies -and guide-lines laid down by \ CAUT. On the question of academic freedom CAUT states that “Academic freedom includes the right within the university to decide who shall teach, who shall be taught, and what shall be studied, taught, or published. Because a university’s essential concerns are intellectual, academic freedom involves the right of appointment of staff or admission of students regardless of race, sex, religion, or politics. It involves the right to teach, investigate and speculate without deference to prescribed doctrine. It involves the right to criticize the university.. .. Academic freedom concerns the university as an institution; it concerns the students; it concerns the faculty. ’ ’ Reasons for the dismissal of a faculty person are strictly limited to two areas; gross misconduct and persistent neglect of a professor’s duty to his/her students or his/her discipline. If there is reason to believe that adequate cause exists the CAUT gives definite guidelines as to the’ procedure that should then ensue. First, the person in question should be advised that his/her dismissal is being recommended. They should then be invited to a meeting with the dean of the faculty. the president of the university, a disinterested professor who is acceptable to both the dean and the person in question and the head of the department. The teacher should also be permitted to bring and be assisted by an advisor of his/her choice.
“If the attempt to settle the matter fails”, states the CAUT handbook, “the university shall inform the member in writing of the charges against him/her in sufficient detail to enable himjher to prepare for his/her defense.” They continue in saying that A) within 14 days of the receipt by the member of the written charges. . .the university and the member shall meet to name jointly an arbitration committee. B) the arbitration committee shall consist of three professors from outside the university tiho are acceptable to the university and the member. C) If the university and the member are unable to constitute an arbitration committee within 21 days the university and the faculty association shall jointly appoint a person of unquestioned integrity and independence from outside the university to act as an arbitrator. An arbitration committee shall then convene and attempt to conclude their proceedings and render their decision as expeditiously as possible. “The CAUT (also) believes that the person alleging cause for dismissal should not also be the one to judge the adequacy Of that cause. Since the president of the university must believe that there is evidence on which to bring forward a case on the advice of his/her administrators, he cannot claim’ to be impartial nor can the men/women who advised her/him. The Board of Governors is in almost every case the legal employer. Furthermore the board is bound to support the judgement of its chief executive officer because refusal to do so would be tantamount to a vote of nonconfidence and a request for resignation. Nor are the members of the board of governors likely to have the academic expertise to judge an academic dispute over competence.” It is obvious that gross neglect has been practiced at Renison College in the dismissals of Forest and Miller, in that not one of the forementioned procedures has been adhered to. It is evident that the onus is on the board of governors to show adequate cause for dismissal and on Forest and Miller to defend these charges in a democratic hearing before official notice of dismissal can be given. Clearly this has not been done. It is believed that Hugh Miller was instructed not to discuss the reasons of his dismissal and Jeffrey Forest has not even been given reasons. The responsibility to a.ct on these injustices is encumbent on us, the students and the faculty of the University of Waterloo. If we are to prevent the recurrance of arbitrary firings we must protest and we will. The issue is much larger than the immediate firings; it is a question of academic freedom and the interests which this and all universities serve.

The Principals’* Social Hour was held at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, October 30th, 1974. John Towler, Principal of Renison stated that this was to be an open meeting with students to give them the opporiunity to openly air their views and/or grievances concerning affairs at the College. As the ‘meeting began, two faculty members Jeff Forest and Marlene Webber were asked to leave, Towler stating he could.n’t and wouldn’t conduct the social hour in their prescence, a8 he felt that the lines of communication would be hindered. After a short protest by some students, the members of the faculty left. Again it was kmphasised that students could openly voice their concerns, free of any outside influences. Since the students did not respond immediately to the above suggestions, Towler proceeded to express his concerns with regards to his responsibilities at Renison, its’ relation to the Faculty of Arts, faculty qualifications, and the relevance of course content and structure. Towler then questioned the quality of teaching at Renison, since he had received complaint8 from some students. He made allegations against unnamed faculty members inferring that about 10% of the faculty are unqualified to teach and that their degrees are questionable. He then suggested that he formulate an Advisory Committee from the Faculty of Arts, and his personal friend, an assistant director of social services to investigate. He further stated that he had been told that if matters at Rehison were not. cleared up immediately, that within the next twelve tionths, negotiations would begin to sever the affiliation between Renison and the University of Waterloo. Since student enrolment in the first year was higher than ever before; since more students ‘from other universities and programmes on this campus are transferring,to Renison than ever before: since more students from Renison were accepted into graduate schools than any year previously; and since students who have graduated from Renison are being offered more jobs, the accusations and statements made by Dr. Towler can be only considered contradictory to reality. Bill Townsend a member of the Executive of the Renison Board of Governors said “The board has operated in-the best.interests of the College. We’ve taken the necessacy legal steps. We do not have to give cause as to why Professor Forest &as dismissed. I do not plan to attend the Tuesday night meeting with the students.” Renison Board of Governors member’, T. T. Ritson told the Chevron Sunday that “I am very upset and regretful that this has occurred. It is very unfortunate for Renison and it is a great pity. I have high regard for the people concerned and I wish it could be solved another way. One positive outcome could be the opening of communications between the Board and students.” Other Board members could not be reached for comment. before press time.

and had hopes of initiating a cooperative program as well where students would have access to sequential academic and work terms. There was every promise in the air that our proposals would find approval. Yet this year we have suffered enormous setbacks and delays around the final passing of even the honours programme. Towler’s hand is conspicuously in this stopping process. (see Federation story, page 2). At every turn we encountered resistance -outright refusal on occasion-to act on the democratic decisions bf our StudentFaculty Couhcil. Towler was to be in control, and that’s all there was to it.
