00:00:01.340 - 00:01:14.150

mhm. Mm hmm. People are news. Often the most expensive. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. You hear? Please. Yeah. Mhm. I'd like to Yeah, that's Yeah. Mhm. Thank you. Mhm. Yeah, Yeah, it's just I love people, right? Yeah. Sorry. Mhm. Mhm.

00:01:14.960 - 00:01:52.960

I am not interested in running an educational institute. Fifth police. Now, Yeah, incidents have occurred which also I know the welfare is. And I think that the matter fact police appear on this camp to the responsible citizens of this camp conductor responsibly and have regard. First,

00:01:53.740 - 00:02:35.580

we protect our own safety and welfare there place. But I want to make it absolutely thick by the board of trustees of Distinct. Yeah, no question whatsoever. Asking the police on this campus if there's any violence or threat of violence. Yeah. Yeah. Hey,

00:02:35.860 - 00:03:06.930

Jim, there is now a very large issue in the state, and it is related, not the summer skill. I'm an accident in this, but the relationship between the state colleges come on the label, Slater, I think, uh, political, uh, everyone, uh, in this state, that's a

00:03:06.940 - 00:03:30.810

very serious, uh, situation now to, uh, on a statewide flatboat concerned with the degree of autonomy. Our colleges are going to have, and in fact, whether educators are going to be the prime forces in, uh, guiding and governing the college. Yeah. All right, let's start with

00:03:34.740 - 00:04:48.650

Mm hmm. Mhm. Mhm. Mhm. Yeah, I think the reason that people did get very uptight about that is because they're seeing violent from a realistic appraisal of the emergency Trustee meeting held at Los Angeles. December 9th leads to the following conclusions

00:04:48.660 - 00:05:03.650

one. President John Summer Skills. Tenure as president of our college is more precarious than it was before that meeting. We can draw no other conclusion if we consider the composition of the investigating committee and the tenure of that meeting and the inside information gathered on December

00:05:03.650 - 00:05:19.880

9th San Francisco State College in any other state college to San Francisco State College in any other state, college will be governed by absentee trustees whenever they please, and without prior consultation with the faculty or the administration. Three. They have made local police chiefs of the

00:05:19.880 - 00:05:40.360

communities which the state colleges are located part time presidents of those colleges, for it is clear that the survival of San Francisco State College as a leading college in the United States is in grave danger. The San Francisco State College chapter of the Association of State

00:05:40.740 - 00:06:05.130

of California State College professors shares the concern in this crisis, but the F t with the faculty. With the students, we have been subject two massive political interference on our campus. We have been subject to violence and the threat of continued violence. We have every confidence

00:06:05.130 - 00:06:32.000

that these matters will be handle in a rational manner. We support the left in there redress of these grievances and hope that they will be satisfactorily. Uh huh. Of taking care. Read The academic Senate insists that the investigation the public investigation not one behind doors that

00:06:32.010 - 00:06:52.300

close out the involved public. The basic rationale behind this is that President summer scale in this college and higher education in California has an opportunity. Okay, we don't need to dread this investigation. We can attempt to inform the public of the significant problems, and we would

00:06:52.300 - 00:07:12.520

hope the trustees will recognize that they also can profit from this kind of public scrutiny. We need violence. We say We sit here and say, There's no pressure here. We should fight against this kind of racism, and we just I've tried to think hard about the

00:07:12.520 - 00:07:35.290

demands of the students, and I wanted to give to you my position on these demands and that that position reflects a lot of conversation and thought by many of our faculty and many students at San Francisco state. Uhh! The first demand has to do with the

00:07:35.290 - 00:08:03.750

suspension of six students. As you know, two of those suspensions have been lifted because they were illegal and improper on my part. As I've explained before, the four suspensions connected with the Gator disturbance were recommendations to me by the properly constituted disciplinary body of the college,

00:08:04.640 - 00:08:23.430

which I did not appoint. The faculty members are appointed by the faculty. The student members are appointed by the Associated Students, and there are two rotating Dean's on that board. And in my judgment, that board uhh heard carefully and thoroughly and fairly all the evidence that

00:08:23.430 - 00:08:49.560

was brought before them. And I confirmed that those recommendations with reference to those four students What about double jeopardy? Mhm. Okay. Now in connection with those suspensions, uh, maps group have asked that all trials in the future should be conducted by a board of elected peers

00:08:50.640 - 00:09:11.450

and I think most of you know that we do have a student Judiciary Court. But the Associated students have failed to a point student members to that court during both the past two years and the administration. And I believe the faculty would welcome a student judiciary

00:09:11.450 - 00:09:30.610

board. And for my own part, I think it's up to you to determine as students whether that should be an appointed board or an elected board. And I urge you to take steps. Working with the Legislature of the Associated Students to reconstitute. Uhh! A first class

00:09:30.610 - 00:09:54.780

student judicial board, uh, map overrode this campus and take things over. And, uh, you know, the BS you. It's just a violent organization. People are speaking with no perspective, but just like their minds are really rambling and very confused, they don't understand so that, you know,

00:09:54.780 - 00:10:11.680

they're just striking out. That's what summer Skillet did when he came up here and took away the suspicions from pulling in Portrait. He said I was wrong. I pronounced them guilty before trial, but when he said that, did anyone hear all about the black students? Of

00:10:11.680 - 00:10:28.190

course not. They got to you was playing on the fears of this campus. The fear is the racism on this campus, the fear of the black students we have at this point, the president who's on probation. If there is a sit in demonstration in the office,

00:10:28.540 - 00:10:40.770

there's one of two things going to happen. Either he's gonna call the cops, in which case he's not a president that I want to say. Or he doesn't call the cops, In which case there's a standing resolution of the board of trustees as of Saturday, which

00:10:40.770 - 00:10:56.120

would have him immediately suspended. They're in. There's a sit in in the office, then there aren't any options. The trustees decide everything for us, right? We'll talk to some skill and ask him to come out to talk to you as he should have talked to you

00:10:56.120 - 00:11:03.990

a long time ago. But don't go into his office and end. The possibility of this camp is deciding its own problems.
