The meeting was adjourned at 6:30 p.m. Respectfully submitted by, Respectfully prepared by, Lynn Best Secretary Catherine Clay Senate President 15 November 1983 To the Honorable Catherine Clay- Senate President Consolidated Students, University of Nevada Madame Chairman, Six CSUN senators deserted the first meeting of the ,14th Session of the CSUN Senate held on 1 November 1983. I wish at this time to publicly state facts I think important in this matter and to also deliver my own opinion. On the first count, the walk-out was done in flagrant violation of the CSUN Constitution. Article VI, Section C, Part 20 demands that "The Senate shall require the regular attendance of the Senators." With the exception of one absent member, the full Senate was present when the meeting was called to order at 4:00 p.m. Fortv-five minutes later, Senators Bloom, Garvin, Eglet, Adams, Varona, and Doubrava left the meeting. Roll call was taken, and their absences were verified. They did not return to the meeting which was adjourned at 5:23 p.m. I do not think the attendance of these six senators at this meeting can be called regular by any stretch of the imagination. On the second count, the walk-out was done in disregard of current CSUN policy. Madame Chairman, your CSUN memorandum of 26 October 1983 establishes official CSUN Senate attendance policy. You established this policy under powers granted to you in Article V, Section E of the CSUN Constitution. You state in that memo: "Excused absences will be considered only when written . . . or verbal notice is given prior to a meeting," and "Leaves of absence will only be considered when a written notice is given prior to a leave." To my understanding, the senators that left the meeting of 1 November did not give prior notice, written or verbal. You go on to state in that memo, "Leaves of absence will not be granted if there is a possibility of breaking quorum." The CSUN Constitution absolutely requires a quorum of two-thirds of the Senate to conduct business. The walk-out of six senators left nine in attendance. Quorum was broken, and the Senate could not conduct further business. On the third count, there was a question among the senators present at the 1 November meeting that they were even senators at all since that meeting had disapproved the minutes of the 49th and final meeting of the 13th Session of the Senate. Some senators contend that at the 49th meeting, the Senate certified the election returns of the Senate races. They further contend that disapproval of these minutes invalidated the certification of the elections, and thus invalidated their status as senators. They suppose they were not senators at the 1 November meeting. Research done by myself has revealed that the returns of the Senate elections were approved by the 13th Session. However, this was done at the 48th meeting of the 13th Session. The minutes of the 49th meeting were disapproved. The disapproval of those minutes did not affect the action taken at the 48th meeting. The senators present at the 1 November meeting were senators. It is my opinion that the six senators who walked out of 1 November meeting showed the greatest contempt for their constituents. These people are duly elected CSUN officers responsible for the planning and implementation of CSUN policy and programs. They are entrusted by the members of their colleges to take care and responsibility in the execution of their duties. Their walk-out "in protest" is tantamount to a betrayal of their constituents' trust. All of the senators who walked out, with the exception of Senator Bloom, are members of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity. Their action is an inexcusable insult ,to that fraternity.. Their action besmirches and dishonors the TKE fraternity. Such immature "follow the leader" antics have no place on the CSUN Senate. Business and Economics Senator Robert Eglet has appealed to you in changing the absences of the walkers out from unexcused to excused. Such a move would be done in complete disregard of the CSUN Constitution and your own policy on Senate attendance. If credibility for the CSUN Constitution and the Senate attendance policy are to be maintained, the absences must, I believe, remain as unexcused. I wished here to bring this matter into the full light of day. For that purpose, copies of this letter are being forwarded to University President Leonard Goodall, Dean of Student Services 0. C. Bob Daniels, CSUN Senators, members of the CSUN Executive Board, and CSUN Department heads. I am further requesting Editor Franco Frantellizzi to print this letter in its entirety in the next issue of The Yellin' Rebel as a letter to the editor. I remain respectfully yours, Steven B.
