Sunday night's vigil at Eisenlohr Hall, where some 300 gathered.

A Week of Protests, Charging RacismWith a demonstration February 13 in a legal

studies classroom as prelude, last week atPenn was punctuated with protests by theBlack Student League, a petition of 109 BlackFaculty and Administrators, and an eight-hourvigil drawing some 300 Sunday night to thePresident's lawn,As detailed on pages 4 and 5, the BSL pre-

sented three demands throughout the week:-Dismissal of Senior Lecturer Murray

Dolfman, whom they charged with harassment ofblack students in class last November.-Mandatory racism awareness workshops,

university-wide.-Increased hiring of minority faculty

members.By February 18, when students demon-

strated in College Hall, President SheldonHackney had secured an apology from Mr.Dolfman for public dissemination (text onpage 6); called for an investigation intocharges; begun asking deans to promote dis-cussions of racial concerns; and convened anew committee under Dr. Marion Oliver towork on recruitment.

After the BFA presented its supporting peti-tion on February 20, (see page 4) the Presidentand Provost announced additional steps beingtaken (pages 4-5). A special Council of Deansmeeting agreed to sponsor awareness pro-grams, they said, and Dr. Hackney offered his1985-86 lecture series as a forum for issues ofrace and ethnicity. They also said Dean Rus-sell Palmer had called for the Wharton SchoolCommittee on Academic Freedom and respon-sibility (below) to investigate the students'charges, and that the Dean would not

WSCAFR HearingFor its hearing Tuesday. March 12. the

Wharton School Committee on AcademicFreedom and Responsibility is inviting cur-rent and former students of Murray Dolfman,senior lecturer in legal studies, to appear be-tween 11 a.m. and noon, 350 Steinberg Hall-Deitrich Hall. The Committee is chaired byProfessor Almarin Phillips, and its membersare Professors Paul Green. Shiv Gupta. JackGuttentag and Ann Mayer. The review wasrequested by Dean Russell Palmer as reportedin articles on pages 4 and 6.

SENATEFrom the Chair

Due Process and Human DignityThe controversies which have leaped into our midst have seized the consciousness of the entire

University community and provoked strong feelings and expressions of anger. Regrettably, whereanger presides reason does not long tarry. These issues, and I refer specifically to the dispute in-volving Dr. Bunster and the Women's Center, the alleged rape on February 17, and the protests bythe Black Students League, intersect at the very heart of the idea of the University as a humaneinstitution, a place for free inquiry and free expression, self-regulating - and one which toleratesno assault on human dignity. For every grievance arising out of these matters, we have in placeprocedures which are our best idea of how to hear complaints, to investigate, tojudge and to pun-ish if necessary. These procedures are our idea ofdue process and the commitment to their fair andspeedy use is absolutely essential to the life of this institution. The President and Provost have ineach instance demonstrated their agreement with this principle and their resolve to act in accor-dance with it. They are to be commended for that stand and supported in it.

Open Meeting on School Five-Year PlansThe Senate Committee on the Faculty has been asked to look into the extent of faculty

involvement in the development ofthe five-year plans of all the schools in the University. Since theseplanscan potentially affecteveryfaculty member, it was intended that the facultyshould haveavoicein their formulation.

DISCUSSION

Investing in the Liberal ArtsIam responding to President Hackney's invitation to commentonhis

planning document"Investing in Penn's Future."While there is much toadmire inthe proposals setout there, I believe the plans ifput into effectwithout major modifications will have disastrous consequences for hb-eral arts at Pennsylvania. Thereason is thatincremental resources willbesocommitted tothe purposesset out inthedocument that SAS, alreadyin crippling budgetary difficulties, willbe on starvation rations.Twocourses ofaction are necessary. Themore immediate one istoadd

a fourth objective to the three now embodied in "Investing in Penn'sFuture"-viz., a strengthening of the faculty of the School of Arts andSciences. The other is to begin now to plan for a major fundraisingcampaign by the University devoted entirely to the SAS.

In lookingto the future, there are two major guiding principles whichare acknowledged in the introductory material but which are missingaltogether or inadequately stressed in the plans for action.One is thatthekeyto agreatuniversity is the quality of its faculty. This

is trite but still powerfully true. Its omission from the short list oftoppriorities set out in "Investing in Penn's Future"should be remedied.The other principle isthat the center of a great university is its liberal

arts. The Administration and Trustees have said this repeatedly aboutPenn, but neither past actions nor the present plan do very much totranslate this into reality. It is not enough to call upon the liberal artsdepartments to play an important role in undergraduate teaching. Theymust also be fostered so as to become preeminent centers for theadvancementofknowledge.I do not doubt thesincerity ofthe Trustees and Administration when

they speakofthecentrality ofartsand sciences andin support ofthe goaljust expressed.Whythendothebigdollars-past, present andfuture-go elsewhere?The answer lies in the structure ofthe Universityand the loyalty ofthe

most influential trustees to the professional schools of which they arealumni. The development office functions as an adjunct ofthe profes-sional schools because the character of our alumni and the fame ofourprofessional schools make it easier to raise money for them. Most ofthelarge development efforts ofthe professional schools impinge to somedegree on the fundraising opportunities of other parts ofthe University,and history shows that there is often a residual deficit oflarge projectsthat is borne by the University as a whole.

I would not wish, I want to make clear, to see our great professionalschools diminished or hampered in the fulfillment oftheir destinies. Thelessop I see in our history isnot to hobble the professional schools. As aPennsylvanian, lam proudoftheirdistinction. However, ifSASisnottobe left farther and farther behind, a major effort led by a vigorous andpersuasive dean and strongly supported by the Administration andTrustees is absolutely necessaly. Withoutsuchspecial efforts there willbea growing gap between the status of our distinguished professionalschools and SAS and between liberal arts at other institutions and atPennsylvania.Ourneeds are great. Most ofallwe need awell-funded programforthe

retention and recruitment of distinguished faculty, better support forgraduate students, and renovation and improved maintenance ofbuild-ings. The slippage in SAS salaries relative to those ofother peer institu-tions must be reversed. None ofthese objectives is addressed directly in"Investing in Penn's Future."

It is likely that much ofthe funding for two of the major thrusts of"Investing"-undergraduate education and research-will be allocatedto members ofthe faculty ofSAS. The improvement ofundergraduateeducation through new imaginative programs, the involvement of pro-fessional school faculty in the teaching of undergraduates, and concernfor the quality ofteachingare important inthemselvesandeven perhapsfor our survival in offering an expensive undergraduate program in atime ofadverse demographics. I think the Administration has provided

excellent leadership in trying to bring to bear the diverse strengths ofPennsylvania on undergraduate education. Unfortunately, however, thefunding of these efforts to promote teaching will have only marginalimpactonthe scholarly workofthe SAS faculty and some ofthe impactmay even by negative.What is needed isdirect support forthesalaries and research expenses

of scholars-distinguished ones already established as well as youngscholars of promise.The research thrust of"Investing in Penn's Future"lends itself moreto

the support of distinguished scholarship but it does not appear to belinked to such an objective very directly. It will be difficult to avoid thecriterion of sharing the pie. Peer review which is used with moderatesuccess in national funding competition is awkward within a singleuniversity. Consideration might be giventotheassignment ofpart ofthefunds to deans and chairmen upon demonstrated need for use to makePennsylvania more attractive for distinguished scholars. It is unlikely tohelp very much, particularly in recruiting outside scholars, to informthem that they can apply for an internal grant after they get here. Thesuggestion in "Investing in Penn's Future" that the University borrowmoney to support the research program requires alot of explanation.SAS is housed in conditions inferior for the most part to the profes-

sional schools, and the maintenance of our buildings is deplorable.Bennett Hall, the home of the English Department, is run down andshabby. It isabuilding with character, in contrast to somemodern boxesofmore recent vintage; decently refurbished and maintained it could adda note of distinction to the quality of the campus. Our PsychologyDepartment, one of the nation's greatest, is scattered overthree or fourbuildings-oneofwhichis a couple ofblocksfrom the others. In the lasttwoor threeyears waterdamagehasruined the files ofourcolleagues andrequired them to move out of their quarters in three different SASbuildings. McNeil, the building in which my department is housed, is anattractivebuilding but it has dirty toilets and neglected floors which are insharp contrast to what is found in an adjacent professional schoolbuilding.

It is possible to raise money for liberal arts. It is more difficult, but itcan be done. And perhaps the times are propitious. Harvard met such afavorable response inacampaign fortheliberal arts that it raised itsgoalsubstantially. What is needed isacommitted Administration, andasetofTrustees who believe in liberal education and who see that Penn-sylvania's status as agreat institution oflearning dependsupon a distin-guished arts and science faculty. Plans should begin now for a majorcampaign for the late 1980s. Meanwhile, some ofthat $40 million that"Investing in Penn's Future"says willbeinvested in research facilities andspecialized equipment should be invested in liberal arts professors.

-Irving B. Kiwis. University Professor ofEconomics

In Response to Professor KravisAs usual, Professor Kravis makes a number of good points in his re-

sponse to the draft of "Investing in Penn's Future." The perception thatunderlies all of his observations is that the planning document does notmake clear enough the importance to the entire University ofthe Schoolof Arts and Sciences. I do say in that document that "The liberal artsand sciences are the cornerstone of the American university," but Ishall try to make it abundantly clear that for Penn in particular the liber-al arts and sciences are crucial and that we intend to strengthen theSchool of Arts and Sciences.As Professor Kravis notes, and as I said in "Choosing Penn's Fu-

ture" (Almanac January 25, 1983), the key to a great university is thequality of the faculty. I have been, and remain, committed to providingreal growth in faculty compensation and to providing the other supportneeded by a great faculty. For 1986, the University outline budget isclear evidence of that continuing commitment.

Increased fund-raising for the School of Arts and Sciences is needed.That was an essential premise of the University's current development

3ALMANA C February 26. 1985

DISCUSSION

campaign, "Building Penn's Future," (Almanac October 18, 1983).Support for Arts and Sciences is a dominant feature of that campaign.When a new SAS Dean is chosen, fund-raising for Arts and Sciencescan intensify even further. It must be based on programmatic plans ofthe School itself, and faculty involvement is essential.

In the interim, it is worth emphasis that during the past five yearsover $20 million has been raised for SAS, more than in any other com-parable period. More of my fund-raising time and that of the Provost isspent on behalfof SAS than all other Schools combined. (It is not true,incidentally, that fund-raising by the professional schools diverts re-sources from SAS.)

Further, University support for SAS from unrestricted funds has in-creased substantially over the last five years and will continue to do so

for 1986. The University's subvention to the School-including nearly$1.2 million in new support for graduate fellowships and substantial al-lotments from the University salary reserve-increased from $8 millionin 1981 to $14.1 million in 1985. In the current year alone, support forSAS from the University subvention pool increased from 45.7% to47.5% of the entire pool.

"Investing in Penn's Future" outlines an investment strategy forstrengthening the University's position as a research and teaching insti-tution of international distinction. It cannot achieve either without anoutstanding faculty, particularly in the Arts and Sciences. I am commit-ted to doing all I can to support that faculty.

"Exchanges on Racism-Thefollowing was delivered February 2010 the President and Provost,whose response begins at right.

2/20/85: Open Letter on RacismWe, the undersigned* members of the faculty, administration, and

staff of the University of Pennsylvania write to express our growingconcern about racial harassment on this campus and the impact suchharassment is having on black students. We write to support black stu-dents in their legitimate expression of outrage and in their legitimatedemand for prompt, meaningful and effective action on the part ofyouradministration.As we understand it, the situation is as follows: the Black Student

League concluded that the University failed to respond in a timely andappropriate manner to complaints regarding racial harassment in gen-eral and to one recent spate of complaints in particular. This perceivedinaction suggested to the students that your administration does notview racial harassment as a serious matter. Consequently, the BlackStudent League has embarked on an effort to raise the institutional pro-file of the issue and by doing so to elicit an appropriate response. TheBlack Student League has set out what it deems an appropriateresponse.

First, the Administration should respond by taking concrete actionagainst the teacher whose remarks and conduct precipitated the currentcrisis:

Second, the President and Provost should respond by committing tospecific University-wide programs to ensure that faculty are equipped toteach black students instead of harassing and humiliating them;

Third, the University should respond by delivering at long last on itslegal and moral obligation to increase minority representation within thefaculty.

We believe that the call for such a response from the administration isreasonable, appropriate, and justified under the circumstances. And wesupport that call. We urge immediate, continuing, and direct negotia-tions with the students about the form and content of a necessary andsufficient response.

Finally, we believe that what is at stake is nothing less than the credi-bility ofthe University ofPennsylvania in the eyes of the black commu-nity on this campus, in the Philadelphia community, and in the nation.Now is the time for your administration to demonstrate that it is willingand equipped to play a leadership role in moving concerns about racismfrom the periphery to the core mission of the institution. Now is thetime for the President and Provost to commit this University to concretemeasures designed to ensure an environment conducive to the intellec-tual, cultural, and psychological survival of black people in general andblack students in particular.The students ask no more. They should be asked to accept no less.

*Transmitted by Dr. Houston Baker, of the English Department,Greenfield Professor Human Relations, on behalfof the Black Facultyand Administrators. Signatures of 109 were appended.

2/21/85: Response on RacismWe are committed to a strong and vital Black presence at Penn. As

we have pointed out in different words in several recent statements[next page], the University of Pennsylvania's special character is re-flected in the diversity of people it attracts to its community. Just as wehave drawn advantage from the complexity of our intellectual makeup,and the especially strong, global dimension of our programs, so the hu-man community that comprises the University gains strength from itsdiversity. Men and women of different races, religions, nationalities,regions, and economic backgrounds are prized at Penn not because theirpresence fulfills a commitment to equal educational opportunity, but,rather, because their presence helps to create an educational environ-ment that best prepares people to contribute to an increasingly complex,global community.

At the meeting of February 20, we confirmed that we have taken di-rect, affirmative actions to meet those areas of concern that you havearticulated for the Black community and the Penn minority communityat large. The following is a summary of those actions we are taking -or have already initiated - to respond to these stated concerns.

I. Status of Mr. Dolfman

1. Mr. Dolfman has publicly apologized for the statements that hemade in class.

2. Dean Palmer of the Wharton School has met with members of theSchool's Academic Freedom and Responsibility Committee (ProfessorsGreen, Gupta, Guttentag, Mayer, and Phillips) and formally requesteda review ofthe matter. Dean Palmer has asked the Committee to advisehim in accordance with established University policies and procedures.

3. Dean Palmer has asked the Committee to expedite its review, andthe Committee has agreed to do so.

4. Dean Palmer will not act concerning a renewal of Mr. Dolfman'scontract as a Lecturer for the next academic year until he receives thereport of the Academic Freedom and Responsibility Committee.

Ii. Policy on Racial Harassment

1. We will immediately initiate, in consultation with faculty, stu-dents, and staff, the development of a strong University Policy on Ra-cial Harassment. (The University presently has a Policy on Equal Op-portunity and Affirmative Action, as it does on Sexual Harassment).We have previously given to the BSL leadership information regardinggrievance procedures that are available to be used by students in casesof racial harassment. We will also work to draw together, in a singlepublication, the student judicial code, pertinent University policies re-garding conduct and misconduct, and descriptions of grievance proce-dures that are available.

2. The Task Force on Conduct and Misconduct will lead the effort todevelop a Policy on Racial Harassment in consultation with other inter-ested students, faculty, and staff members. The Chair of the FacultySenate is joining in our request that the ad hoc Senate Committee onBehavioral Standards join in this process.

ALMANAC February 26, /9854

3. The Black Student League concerns about racial harassment havebeen placed on the agenda of the next University Council meeting(March 13, 1985). The leadership of the BSL and Black faculty mem-bers, together with other minority group members, will be invited toaddress the Council on that date.

Ill. Racism Awareness Seminars

1. The Provost convened a special meeting of the Council of Deansthis afternoon concerning the need to make available racism awarenesssessions for Department Chairs, faculty members, and teaching assis-tants. The Deans agreed to sponsor these sessions, planned in consulta-tion with Black and other minority students and others in their Schools.Associate Provost Marion Oliver and Vice Provost for University LifeJames Bishop are identifying both external and internal individuals whomight be available as session leaders.

2. The Deans were asked to report, by February 28, on the status oftheir planning for these sessions. They have agreed to do so.

3. The President agreed to devote his 1985-86 lecture series, withsupport from Black students and faculty members and the advice of theAfro-American Studies Program, to issues of race and ethnicity inAmerican society.IV. Faculty Recruitment

Increasing the number of minority faculty has been one of our prior-ity objectives since the outset of this administration. One of the Deans'working groups focused on that objective three years ago, and it contin-ues as a majorobjective. As you have indicated, the problem of increas-ing minority faculty at Penn is particularly acute and deserves our con-centrated attention. Over the past three years, the Provost's Office hasworked with each Dean to set targets for minority faculty hiring. EachSchool has been asked to include these targets in its five-year plan andfaculty search authorization requests for this academic year. In additionto seeking minorities for available tenure-track positions, in May,1984, and again in October, 1984, we began ad hoc programs to en-courage the hiring of minority pre- and post-doctoral fellows, adjunctfaculty, lecturers, and senior visiting scholars. We also continued toprovide the Schools with funds to hire minority faculty through the Pro-vost's Reinvestment Fund. In addition, we will do the following.

1. We will make available, for School use, funds to hire Black visit-ing faculty, adjunct faculty, and pre- and post-doctoral fellows. Thisstep will regularize a past practice done on an ad hoc basis. Effort willbe directed particularly toward Schools without a Black facultypresence.

2. The Office of Affirmative Action will intensify its developmentof the Penn minority faculty vita bank. Requests for faculty vitas will beplaced in both minority and majority periodicals no later than April 15,1985. Ms. Davida Hopkins already has files of minority vitas and shewill continue to work with Deans and Department chairs to identifyBlack and other minority candidates for current vacancies.You have brought forward sharply and clearly a number of real con-

cerns on this campus, and we are grateful. We have made a good faitheffort to meet the requests you have made for the Black community.Certainly, other steps will be taken to assure that racial diversity ismaintained and the quality of life for Blacks and other minorities atPenn is enhanced. We hope to continue the dialogues we have nowbegun.We need your assistance and the assistance of our Black faculty and

staff colleagues. We ask you, now, tojoin with us to further the specificsteps made in this report of our activities. We suggest, therefore, thatyou consider the establishment of BSL sub-committees to work with usin each of these areas.

Associate Provost Marion Oliver has convened a small faculty/staffworking group to develop strategies that will enhance-both for thelong and short term-Black and other racial and ethnic minority pres-ence at Penn. This committee met last week, and Dr. Oliver will becoordinating the drafting of a unified plan-in consultation with minor-ity faculty members and administrators-which will make recommen-dations to us and the University community.We pledge our support to you and to the goals we share. We hope

that we can now work together to further our objectives.

ATown-Gown Turnout at Elseniohr

Sunday between 4p.m. and midnight, 30 speakers took the podium set upon the Hackneys' front terrace. Among them: State Representative EdWiggins, Councilman David Cohen, Penn Black Alumni Society PresidentCnstina Brinkley-Carter, several ministers led by the Rev. Urcelle lull,president of the Council of Black Clergy; University faculty members Hous-ton Baker, Louis Carter, John Roberts, Thomas Parham and Ralph Smith;administrators Jacqui Wade, Donnie Cook and Beverly Banks, and a host ofundergraduate and graduate/professional students. Speechmaking alternatedwith music and the recorded voice of Martin Luther King, Jr. The crowdcame and went or went and came - including Lucy and Sheldon Hackney,who stood with the speakers on the terrace early on, excused themselves laterand returned as part of the sidewalk overflow for the final speeches.

2/24/85: Statement from the BSL(Delivered by Alma Bone, president of the Black Student League, at avigil outside Eisenlohr Hall February 24.)To all of you who have struggled beside us so patiently and without

tangible reward . . . to the many others gathered here who have sup-ported our efforts through letters to the DP, encouraging words andwarm and generous offers of support. . . to the Black alumni gatheredhere who have been reminded anew ofthe racism and abuse from whichthey may have thought they graduated. . . to the Black faculty and ad-ministrators who risk their livelihood and reputations in being here withus; to the members of the larger Philadelphia community - elected of-ficials and our neighbors in West Philadelphia whose struggles in pre-vious years are in larger measure responsible for our presence here -and, finally, to the black students at the University of Pennsylvania whohave stood firmly for the principles of human dignity and demanded noless than a right to equal and fair participation in the life of this Univer-sity, we say thank you. Thank you, because we realize that your pres-ence is a great sacrifice. And thank you, because with your support andassistance we will win this fight and without it we are doomed to certainfailure.

For those of you who are joining us for the first time or who havebeen forced to rely on the press for your information, let me bring youup to date. We have three demands:

1. We demand that Senior lecturer Murray Dolfman be dismissed on thegrounds that his remarks to black students in his class were not only racistbut denied these students the very thing which they were here for - aneducation.

2. We demand that racism awareness workshops be mandated for all fac-ulty and administrators so that they will be qualified to teach in a multi-cultural environment.

3. Finally, we demand that the University live up to its articulated com-mitment of increasing the number of black faculty here. It is impossible forany student to get a quality education here without the diversity of opinionand perspective which black faculty provide.Though there are many other issues for black students at Penn to be

legitimately concerned with, we have chosen not to address all of theseat this time. We have limited our agenda to these three simple items andhave thus far been unable to resolve even these.The President insists that he is powerless to dismiss a faculty member

whose actions he claims to find disturbing. The Provost refuses to man-date racism awareness workshops in spite of the fact that only throughsuch an experience can the faculty members here be made competent toteach in today's environment. In spite of the fact that he has been un-successful in four years of attempting to draw black faculty here, thePresident refuses to outline a new program and a radical approach tothis problem.We are here to help the President understand the need for such a

change in approach, the need for a new direction. Students here aretired of the old approach, we are tired of being the victims of the olddirection. We have come together to demand a new direction. This Uni-versity will not rest until such time as it has addressed our concerns.

Mr. President, none of us gathered here has any stake in your dis-comfort. None of us profits from time lost in this effort. But until ourproblems are viewed as the problems of the University; until you dem-onstrate that injustice at the University is not to be tolerated; until youhave set this University firmly on a course in a new direction you willnot rest and this University will not know peace!

Background Statements in the Week's Exchanges on Racism

On this page are reproduced the series ofstatements and memos President Hackney ad-dressed to members ofthe Black StudentLeaguefollowing the meeting February 18.Some were reiterated and others updated in theFebruary 21 public statement that appears onpages 4-5. Not published are a February 20short version ofthe February 21 statement,and the May 1983 Ombudsman's report re-ferred to below.

1. I met with Mr. Murray Dolfman at li a.m.this morning and emphasized the seriousnesswith which I regarded the incidents in his classand that a public apology was in order. ProfessorDolfman issued a public apology . A letter to theEditor [below] has been sent to the Daily Penn-sylvanian and The Voice. Dean Russell Palmer isasking the Wharton School's Committee on Aca-demic Freedom and Responsibility to review theentire situation with regard to Mr. Dolfman andto advise the Dean about what further steps maybe appropriate.

2. The President's and Provost's statement re-garding racial harassment, "Conduct on theCampus" (published by the Daily Pennsylvanianon February 14, 1985), is herewith attached forpublication in The Voice [below].

3. A summary of procedures students shouldfollow when they complain of injustice includingfaculty racial harassment, entitled "The Work ofthe Ombudsman: An Overview" is attached [SeeAlmanac May 3, 1983].

4. The Provost and I will work with SchoolDeans to promote discussions of racial concernson the campus in meetings of Deans with depart-ment chairs.

5. My office has learned that Pippa Porterdoes sit on the Undergraduate Minority Recruit-ment Admissions Slate. Ms. Porter commentedthis morning to Dr. [Valarie] Cade that "I'mdefinitely there. There's no way that they canhold the MRP slate without me." In fact, thereare additional School representatives "who havea particular minority interest" who also sit onslate. As an example, Ms. Porter stated that CoraIngrum will be joining the Slate committee thisafternoon to assist with SEAS admissions.

6. A joint minority faculty/staff committee,chaired by Associate Provost Marion Oliver, hasbeen convened. The committee will considerlong- and short-term recommendations for en-hancing and improving the quality of minoritystudent, faculty, and staff presence.

Mr. Doitman's Apology

(Text ofa letter sent to student media February18; referred to in #1, left column.)

I spoke this morning with Mr. MurrayDolfman and emphasized the seriousness withwhich I regarded the incident in his class that ledto a protest from black students. I told Mr.Dolfman that a public apology from him was inorder. He readily agreed. His statement follows:

"I do admit that my presentation andfeigned reaction on November 12, 1984,was overdramatic and unnecessary. I apolo-gized then to those who were directly af-fected. And I apologize now to the entireUniversity community."

-Sheldon Hackney, President

On Conduct on the Campus(The February 13 statement referred to in #2,left column.)

Several incidents last fall of racial and ethnicharassment-particularly racist remarks and ac-tivities directed against Black students and otherracial minority members-have given us causefor deep concern. People of different races, na-tionalities, religions, and regions are prized at theUniversity, not simply because their presencefulfills a legal commitment to equal educationalopportunity, but because diversity helps to createthe Penn community of inquiring minds that isthe best educational environment for the worldwe live in.Our efforts to ensure a wholesome and diverse

campus community, including minority students,faculty members, and staff, are thwarted if thosepersons are subject to words and deeds that makethem feel unwelcome. Those acts are abhorrentto us and to the vast majority of our colleagues;we reaffirm our determination to bring to swiftresolution any incidents of harassment that arebrought to our attention.We invite comment and suggestions about

how to strengthen the presence ofracial and eth-nic minority groups at the University and abouthowto make their experience at Penn as fulfillingas possible. We applaud the stance many of ourcolleagues have taken to promote a campus envi-ronment that, while celebrating our differences,strengthens the bonds of mutual understandingand respect among all members of the Penncommunity.

-Sheldon Hackney, President-Thomas Ehrlich, Provost

Speaking OutClassroom Rights

Aregularly scheduled class offered by theLegal Studies Department of Wharton wasdisrupted on February 13. That fact is notdisputed. Demonstrations that enter aclassare clear violations ofthe University's Guide-lines on Open Expression.

I have seen printed explanations of whythat happened. But no explanation is ajustifi-cation, except when life and health are indanger.Many struggled longfor the privileged

position ofthe class as essential to academicfreedom. Students have classroom rights;faculty have rights to be able to discuss in aprotected setting.Our "Guidelines" evolved after a period of

turmoil in the universities in the late 1960'swhen some collapsed. Recently we again arebeginning to equivocate on academic values.The classroom, however, is at the core ofourcommitment to academic freedoms. Condon-ing violations ofthe classroom is a moreserious threat to universities than reductionsin federal monies for higher education.Onetakes away our integrity; the other affects ourlife style.

-Henry TeuneProfessor ofPolitical Science

Call for Suspension

Members of the Black Student League,along with agroup of Black faculty and staffat the University of Pennsylvania, havereshaped the politics and practices of the Uni-versity. They have taken those behaviors andattitudes many at this institution assumeto be"standard educational practice" and namedthem appropriately as racist.We support this powerful coalition in their

efforts to force the institution to recognizeand act on internal racism. The Universitydoes reflectthe racism ofthe larger culture,but it is a university's job to lead thatculturein identifying racism as a problem with con-sequences for all of us.We believe that Professor Dolfman should

be suspended from his teaching responsibili-ties, with pay, pendingthe results of what wehope will be an expedited investigation. Wealso support the BSL'sdemands for increasedminority presence on the faculty and in-creased sensitivity to issues of racial harass-ment on the part of all faculty.

Followingare twostatements unanimouslypassedat the February20th. 1985 GAPSAMeeting.

More Than ApologyThe members ofthe Graduate and Profes-

sional Student Assembly are deeply concernedwith thebehavior ofProfessor MurrayDolfman. Remarks such as thosecited in theDaily Pennsylvanian as having been made byProfessor Dolfman, and his treatment of thestudents in his Legal Studies course, are not tobe tolerated at this University.We acknowledge the concerns ofsome stu-

dents in the class that their work was interruptedby the demonstration on February 13th, andsupport the need for adherence to Open Expres-sion guidelines. We are also aware ofthe intensefrustration and disgust that members of thisUniversity's Black studentcommunity must feel.Whilewe appreciate Professor Dolfman's apol-ogy for any offense his behavior may havecaused, we feel that an apology is not enough.People have apologized for racist behavior fortoo long. More constructive action is necessary.We urge the Faculty Senate and administra-

tors to investigate all ofthe charges made byProfessor Dolfman's students,and if thechargesof racism and unprofessional behavior aresub-stantiated, we feel that the University shouldconsider the strongestpossible disciplinaryaction against Professor Dolfman, includingpossible termination. Thestandards ofconductweexpect of University professors allow noroom for racist behavior,which is antithetical tothegoals of this University community.

Assess FraternitiesThe members of the Graduate and Profes-

sional Student Assembly are outraged that arape may have occured Sunday, Feb. 17, in thePhi Sigma Kappa fraternity house.We are confident that the University's Judicial

Procedures will assure a thorough investigationofthe charges and that a timely and fair judg-ment will be made. We are pleased that Univer-sity administrators aredealingswiftly with thisveryserious matter.We are especially concerned that this alleged

rape is representative ofthe attitudes ofa fewmembers ofthe Universitycommunity who tol-erate acts ofsexual violence against women. Allmembers of the Universitycommunity areharmed by these actionsand all members mustmake known their abhorenceofsuch behavior.We urge University administrators to work

with theOffice of Fraternity and SororityAffairs to assess the role of fraternities in theperpetuation ofsuch outrageous behavior. Actsofsexual violence should not be tolerated in anycommunity. The University must direct itsresources to the eradicationof attitudes andbehaviorsthat foster an atmosphere in whichthese acts continueto occur.

Thefollowing statement wasadoptedunanimouslyon February 19, 1985.

Individual, Not FraternityThe Interfraternity Council ofthe Univer-

sity of Pennsylvania is deeply concerned bythe serious charges that have been madeabout an alleged sexual assault. We supportthe rights of all parties involved to a fair andexpedient hearing both within the Universityand Philadelphia justice systems. We are alsodeeply concerned about the welfare oftheyoung woman.The Interfraternity Council would like to

reiterate that the alleged incident involves an

individual, not afraternity. The Phi SigmaKappaFraternity has not been implicatedand the Office ofFraternity Sorority Affairshasnot asked the Fraternity Sorority Advi-sory Board to investigate the alleged incident.The lnterfraternity Council hopes that

campus reaction will not impede thejudicialprocess and will not negate the process theIFC has made over the pasttwo years. Thelnterfraternity Council is cognizant ofthegravity ofthe situation and supports ajustand speedy resolution to the matter.

It should be stressed that the InterfraternityCouncil vigorously supports the code ofcon-duct ofthe University regarding the rights ofindividuals.

-The lnterfraternity Councilofthe University ofPennsylvania

NotGreek ValuesThe alleged rape at the Phi Sigma Kappa

fraternity on February 17 is tragic. An efforthas been made to prevent such incidents; wemust continue these efforts and expand uponthem. As awomanand as amember ofthecommunity, I condemn rape under any cir-cumstance. What allegedly happened Febru-ary 17 night involved two individuals. Rapecan happen in anytype ofcampus or off-campus housing and is not reflective of Greekvalues or the Greek system. I hope that thetruth regarding this incident is soon discov-ered so that the member of Phi Sigma Kappamay either be pronounced innocent or givenappropriate discipline.

Thefollowing letter, intendedfor last week'sissue, was delayedfor space reasons.Dr. Bunster's Resignation

I am voluntarily resigning my position asdirector ofthe Women's Center as oftoday,15 February, 1985. While I have been asked tostay by many people, I feel I can no longersuffer the humiliation I have been subjectedto by some members of the different women'sgroups, both faculty and students, whohavemercilessly attacked me personally as well asmy work on a daily basis. I have decided thatI shall no longer suffer their hostile behaviorbecause it is beneath my dignity.

It saddens me to think that I came to Pennwith joy and hopes of putting my professionalexpertise at the service of the Penn Women'sCenter. I felt thejob as director had greatpotential. My vision ofthecenterwas broad-based so as to include allwomenon campus.I also wanted to develop a feminist networkmeetingthe needs and interests of allwomenon campus. However, my attempts toupgrade and change the image and increasevisibility and status ofthe Penn Women'sCenterwere met with severe resistance bysome womenfaculty and by the few studentswhofrequent the center.

I am not homophobic, racist, nor anti-Semitic.My teaching and publications showthat I have been trying tocombat these stereo-types and prejudices for the last fifteen years.That should suffice.

I hope my leaving will stimulate an in-depth investigation ofthe activities ofthePenn Women's Centerand ofits hostileatmosphere which is not feminist. I also hopethat the women faculty and students who

have so unfairly attacked me will have thechance to probe into the causes that led themto act in the manner they chose. In the pro-cess they mayperhaps educate themselvesand arrive at aconsensus that the women'scenter should move in a direction worthy ofthe University of Pennsylvania.

-Ximena Bunster B.

Onthe Women's CenterThe recent controversy over the director of

the Women's Center has been aired in thepages of The Daily Pennsylvanian in a par-ticularly intemperate and one-sided way.Since little information about the matter isavailable to the University communityfromany other source, I would like in some mea-sure to redress the balance.

I do not believe that Dr. Bunster is a racistor homophobe or anti-Semite, as has beencharged. I believe she is a womanofdignityand pride, with a substantial record of con-structive effort on behalf ofwomen's rightsand the rights of minorities.

In discussions ofthe charges against Dr.Bunster I became acutely aware ofa kind ofknee-jerk reaction to anything touching evenremotely, on anycomponent ofa stereotype.There are largegaps in logic here. TheOmbudsman is now in the process ofdealingwith such questions as what was actually said,in what context, and what kinds of inferencesmight reasonably bedrawn. It is my ferventhope that some misunderstandings can beresolved in this process.Turning to the more substantive issues of

Dr. Bunster's performance at the Women'sCenter, it is clear that she has notbeen able toserve effectively the needs ofactivist womenstudents at Penn. This very important grouphas been the primary constituency of the Cen-ter up to now, and its needs were served in anextraordinarily constructive way by the pre-vious director, Carol Tracy.

However, there are other constituenciesamong University womenwhose needs, inspite ofCarol's efforts, have not yet been ade-quately addressed-untenured facultywomen,graduate students, and staff. I believethat significant problems ofdiscriminationand harassment exist amongwomenfromthese constituencies and that these problemshave not thus far been dealt with successfully.

In Dr. Bunster's perception of her respon-sibilities, a high priority was assigned to thegoal of developing contacts with these groups,determining needs, and extending supportwhere needed. The initial focus was on grad-uate students, whoarewidely dispersedacross the University with relatively littleaccess to mutual support networks. Such con-tacts are not made easily or quickly; and Iregret that Dr. Bunster was not given moretime to pursue this work. Three months' time,under working conditions that were difficultfora number of reasons, is hardly afair testofwhat she might have accomplished.

I hope that the interests of nonvocalpoten-tial constituencies ofthe Women's Center willnot be forgotten now. I urge the Administra-tion to give careful consideration to theirrepresentation in theirchoice of a searchcommittee for the new director.

Mobilizing Our BrainsA budget has been delivered to Congress

that is, in our distinguished colleague Dr.Lawrence Klein's well-chosen word, "lop-sided." (Almanac, February 12). Nothing butthe numbers add up. The concepts andvalues are unworkable because no one is ask-ing the fundamental questions: Where doesprogress come from? What is government'slegitimate role?

At the University Council meeting onWednesday, February 13, Dr. Michael Cohenasked President Hackney how academia wasplanning to distinguish itself from "otherspecial interests" in arguing against proposedcuts in student aid and research funding inthe 1986 Federal budget. As two members ofCouncil and the University's ResearchCommittee who are concerned about thesecuts, we believe that there are specific stepsthat faculty and other members of the Uni-versity community can take in line with Pres-ident Hackney's suggestion that we use anyspecial expertise we have to convinceCongress.

Take, for example, the list of "strengths"that President Reagan gave in his State ofthe Union message: transistor and computerskills, new laser techniques in medicine,promise of new life-giving drugs made inspace, and super-crystals.Where were these and other technological

advances developed? Where were the inven-tors trained, and howdid they finance theireducation? Howmany major inventionsbegan in University laboratories, underwrit-ten by Federal funds? What innovations notmentioned in the State ofthe Union addresshave had a comparable impact on our qual-ity of life? It is time for us to begin to inven-tory our concrete contributions.Nor are our only contributions in technol-

ogy. As we face newproblems in the worldsof work and family life, liberal arts depart-ments and our professional schools havecontributed as well to these aspects of Amer-ican life. While the Administration maybelieve that improvements in the educationand welfare of America's businesses and fam-ilies will derive simply from discipline andhard work, we know that in these areas-asin national defense-that progress costsmoney.

Although we can applaud the efforts ofvolunteers and contributors, even in thevoluntary sector, federal seed monies havebeen crucial in promoting innovation. Canwe produce case studies ofthe way in whichFederal funding has resulted in promotingaction by private individuals and groups? Letus demonstrate that the Federal governmenthas an primary role even in this area.We need to document these efforts, and

the way in which federal aid has made thempossible. We need to generate hard data andcase histories that can be presented to ourlegislators in the battles to come.

Congress is made up ofintelligent menand womenwho, despite their regional obli-gations, have the task of finding a balancefor the nation-not a balance of "specialinterests," but of complex and interdepend-ent resources for today and tomorrow.Higher education is one of those resources,and it is also a catalyst to progress and eco-nomic growth in other sectors of our society.It is time we make our case.We do not need to write angry or self-

serving letters to exercise our responsibilityas thinking members of our society. We oweCongress some homework if we expect ahearing. We should mobilize our brains forthis much the way we do when we set out toteach or write: Do the research, organize thematerial, present it cogently.

Concretely, we can either send our factsand analyses to the President's office at Col-lege Hall or write directly to Congress. Amixture may be in order. As PresidentHackney pointed out to Council, a letter to aCongressman from a knowledgeable constit-uent has its own strength. At the same time,the University's leadership is doing morethan writing letters and might find some ofour homework useful when it calls on Con-gressional leaders and meets with its coun-terparts from other universities.Agood start would be to send copies of

all letters to President Hackney at 100 Col-lege Hall/ CO and to Federal RelationsDirector David Morse at 1233 BlockleyHall/SI, or to send raw materials ifyouchoose not to write yourself.-Helen C. Davies, Professor of Microbiology

Hunger in Our LifetimeTheNewman Apostolate is asking the Uni-

versity community to join us in our effort inWashington on behalf of the world's hungrypeople.Of two main national goals set in the

Kennedy era one was accomplished-a manon the moon; 20 years later the other goal isnotyet achieved-to eliminate hunger "withinour lifetime."We know that over 5 million are at the

brink ofstarvation in Africa alone, but even asingle example of hunger is one too many.Americans have been generous-private con-tributions to Africa have hitanall-time high at$25 million. However, these giftsarea drop inthe bucket compared to the $2 billion need.

Budgeted aid for Africa for all of 1985 willrun out somewhere around March I. A newresolution in Congress (S. 370) calls for $780million in supplemental aid-30 times therecord amount of private donations and halfof Africa's food needs.

During Spring Break, members ofthe Uni-versity community will go to Washington tourge Congress to provide this supplementalaid. Youcanjoin.

I. Commission us to speak on your behalfAskyourgroup toendorse this effort. We cangive you petition forms andcopies ofthe Con-gressional resolution.

2. Write a letter to your Congressionalrepresentative and senators. Pennsylvania'sSenator Arlen Spector is uncommitted rightnow. He sits on the Appropriations Commit-tee, so his vote is a key vote. His address: TheSenate Office Building, Washington, D.C.20510. (Send a copy of the letter to us so wecan offer the letters "en masse" during SpringBreak.)3. Cometo Washington with us. We will be

having briefing sessions with Catholic ReliefServices, Lutheran World Service, and Breadforthe World on Monday before meeting withour elected officials on Tuesday.

So far, we are endorsed by the PoliticalParticipation Center, The Newman Center,and the Penn Committee for the Homeless.For more information: Ext. 7575.

Following is an excerptfrom the University's 1981 policy statement, reissuedin July 1984 and again this month to staff involved.

Asbestos ControlAsbestos may be found in almost all buildings at the University. Asbestos

may have been used as:

I. pipe covering2. insulation on air conditioning or heating systems3. fire proofing on ceilings and beams4. accoustical insulation on ceilings and walls

University employees must not work with or disturb asbestos materials. Ifyou have any doubt whether a material is, or is not, asbestos do not disturbit. When assigned work where damaged asbestos material is present, orwhere disturbance of asbestos material is required to complete a task, reportthe situation to your supervisor. Arrangements will be made as soon as pos-sible through the Office of the Safety Manager for an inspection by the Of-

fice of Environmental Health to determine if asbestos is present. The neces-sary corrective action will be taken as dictated by conditions.

Chemical Waste DisposalFederal and state regulations require proper storage and disposal of

chemical waste. The University's procedure for disposing of chemicalwaste is available from the Office of Evironmental Health and Safety(OEHS).OEHS will consult with anyone having chemicals whichmay need to

be discarded. No chemicals should be poured down the drain withoutconsulting OEHS. Commercial products may contain chemicals whichrequire special disposal methods, therefore, OEHS must be contacted toarrange for proper disposal.

Additionally, questions regarding the safe use and storage ofchemicalsshould be directed to the Office of Environmental Health and Safety.OEHS may be contacted at Ext. 4453 or 14th floor Blockley Hall, 418Service Drive/ S1.
