Faculty Council Looks to Future

By SARA E. POLSKY

Crimson Staff Writer

Even before Harvard undergraduates had settled into their dorms for the start of the fall semester, 18 of the most active professors in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) gathered for a summit at Boston’s Harvard Club to plot a course for the year to come.

The retreat—if not the first of its kind, then the only one in modern memory, according to council members—was a step in a new direction for the Faculty Council, the 18-member elected governing body of FAS, and a sign of the larger role they hope to play in FAS affairs this year.

Last spring, the Council had heavy input into two of the most contentious topics facing the Faculty, acting as intermediaries between the Faculty and the Harvard Corporation—the University’s seven-member governing board—during the uproar surrounding University President Lawrence H. Summers and also leveling crippling criticism against a draft of the General Education report for the Harvard College Curricular Review.

The Council, with several new members elected in May, emerged from last semester with a renewed sense of its dual purpose of advising Dean of the Faculty William C. Kirby and acting as the Faculty’s only elected representatives.

This year, the Council will seek to fill both of these roles more vigorously than in recent years.

“Those are not necessarily the same things,” said Anthropology Department Chair Arthur Kleinman, a member of the Council. “The Faculty Council has made it clear it wants to do both, and do it with more robustness than has perhaps been present in the past.”

At the Harvard Club retreat, Council members discussed some of the issues that will face FAS in the coming year, such as Allston planning, the curricular review, and implementing the recommendations of two task forces on faculty diversity. They also have pledged to be more transparent about their own discussions while tracking the pulse of the Faculty, particularly by receiving input from a group of department chairs who have met weekly since February.

RECLAIMING HISTORY

Founded on December 2, 1969 in response to the student unrest on campus and calls for more democratic governance of FAS, the Faculty Council was charged with advising the Dean of the Faculty on “allocations of space, building programs, and plans and priorities for Faculty growth and development.”

In its nearly 40-year history, the Council has brought its authority to bear on issues ranging from the minutiae of undergraduate education to rights for homosexuals at Harvard, while grappling with day-to-day issues of faculty governance.

“The Faculty Council, if you read the statement giving it its charge, was to be both a kind of kitchen cabinet to the dean and to be the elected representation of the Faculty,” Kleinman said.

In recent years, though, the Council has held predominantly an advisory role, rather than focusing on advocacy for the more than 670 professors in FAS.

But Council members said that this year’s March 15 vote of no confidence, when Faculty-Summers tensions reached their boiling point, has empowered the Council to raise its voice on behalf of their fellow faculty members.

“I think this also gives us a mandate to do more,” Council member and Weary Professor of German and Comparative Literature Judith L. Ryan told The Crimson in March after the no confidence vote.

Kleinman, Ryan, and Professor of the History of Science Everett I. Mendelsohn, all of whom spoke about the Faculty’s role in University governance during last spring’s Faculty meetings, were reelected to the Council at the end of last semester.

Baird Professor of Science Gary J. Feldman, who served two terms on the Council but chose not to seek reelection last spring, told The Crimson in May that—though Council members rarely serve multiple terms—the promise of a more involved Council may have encouraged some members to run again.

“I think that the feeling that the Faculty Council may take on more responsibility for Faculty affairs was of interest for people to continue,” Feldman said in May.

Kleinman said that the events of the spring in part inspired the Council’s aim to be “more robust, more aggressive, more active” this year.

But other Council members said that, while recent tensions have contributed to the Council’s increasingly proactive stance, Council members are also concerned with other issues slated to come before the Faculty this year.

“We’re in a period of change,” said Phillips Professor of Early American History Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, who is also a Council member. “There are a lot of new agendas.”

Associate Professor of the Social Sciences and Council member Jason A. Kaufman said that this year, faculty will have an opportunity to let their voices be heard on several University-wide issues.

“There are a lot of changes happening in the university, and...if the members of FAS don’t speak up and don’t deliberate, we’ll get less out of the process. Allston planning is obviously a big component of the future here, and FAS is only one player in that. So it’s very important that we’re at the table,” he said.

FIRST STEPS

Perhaps recalling its original mission, Kleinman said that one of the Council’s hopes is for greater transparency in Faculty and University governance and that the Council has already begun to receive more information from Kirby, who chairs the Council, about Faculty affairs.

“I think the dean is being more forthcoming about matters that would have been dealt with largely amongst the deans,” Kleinman said. “Now he’s using the Faculty Council and the Faculty Council is relating to him.”

Small groups of Council members have also met with members of the Harvard Corporation—once in April and again this past Monday—in the hope of establishing channels of contact with the University’s highest governing body.

“The members of the Faculty Council had a very good and open meeting with some members of the Corporation. We are pleased to have established lines of communication with them,” Classics Department Chair Richard F. Thomas, who attended the Monday meeting, told The Crimson earlier this week.

Council members have also taken some steps to achieve their second goal of better representing faculty members.

“Being aware of our two roles I think was an important first step,” Kaufman said. “We discussed very carefully who we wanted to sit on the docket committee, since they serve a very important function as gatekeepers.”

The docket committee prepares the agenda for each full Faculty meeting and its members are among the few with the power to shape the agenda of highly-scripted Faculty meetings, though any faculty member can offer an item for discussion. During Faculty meetings, the docket committee members also have procedural powers—last spring, the committee members recommended extensions to the two tense meetings preceding the no-confidence vote, and they counted the ballots cast in that vote on March 15.

This year, the docket committee members are Ulrich, Thomas, and Mendelsohn, although Mendelsohn is on sick leave this term.

Kleinman said that docket committee members—whose traditional role during Faculty meetings is simply to announce that the meeting’s docket is in order—will now describe the Council’s business to the Faculty in greater detail.

“Since the Faculty Council is the only elected body of the Faculty in FAS, it is important that it represent the Faculty,” he said. “One of the ways that we’re doing that is by...having more to say of our deliberations in the context of the full Faculty meetings.”

Council members also hope to inform themselves of the concerns of other faculty members. Kleinman is one of several Council members who attend the weekly meetings of the group of department chairs that has gathered regularly since the spring to discuss common problems. Kleinman reports on these meetings to the Council.

Kaufman describes the Council and the chairs’ group as “different sides of the same coin,” both looking out for the welfare of the Faculty.

“The group of department chairs knows that I do this,” Kleinman said. “I think that’s a very important thing....[The chairs’ group] is contributing to important issues at Harvard, like issues of governance and problems facing FAS and facing the University by simply meeting together, getting a general sense of what chairs think on these issues.”

Ulrich emphasized that the Council’s position as the Faculty’s only elected body gives it a responsibility to use its time in addressing Faculty concerns.

“It’s the one group that’s really elected by the faculty,” she said. “We want to make sure that we’re really using our time in a meaningful way.”
