Paul Kelley

Date

13 March 1978

Description

At this meeting, recommendations 7-10 of the Gogh report are discussed (concerning TAs). Sledd objected to all the recommendations, alleging that the faculty are not taking seriously their abuse of TAs and further claiming that dwindling federal funds in support of faculty research had left UT in a financial pinch, forcing faculty to rely graduate instructors as a source of cheap labor. Sledd eventually called a quorum, making it impossible to vote on any motions because no quorum was present.
