00:00:01.140 - 00:00:21.810

And that the 1950 resolutions be disavowed. And secondly, does he approve or disapprove of? The statement that no political tests shall be applied once these votes have been recorded. They will be forwarded in the form of a memorial to the regions of the university through the

00:00:21.810 - 00:00:39.440

president of the university. Dr Seward. Do you have any reason to believe that the regions would look upon your resolution with any favor in view of the action that they've taken? Their views are fairly well known on this issue? Yes, I think as I've said before,

00:00:39.440 - 00:00:56.960

the regions have some very definite views and I believe they are sincere in these views and in certain respects, the faculty's views differ from the region's views. It would be my hope that when we have a concerted opinion of the faculty, if we do get this,

00:00:57.740 - 00:01:21.950

that this will have some influence and perhaps bringing the faculty and the regions a little closer together on these items, There were two actions by the assembly today. One was to disavow the 1950 resolutions which stayed in essence that members of the Communist Party are not

00:01:21.950 - 00:01:43.790

suitable for employment by the university. And secondly, to raise the question whether it is proper to apply a political test as a condition for membership on the faculty. And these two questions we decided today to submit to the entire faculty of the university so that every

00:01:43.790 - 00:02:21.720

member can vote on these. The Assembly then additionally, went on record as supporting these two questions in the affirmative, the significance of this is that The last two statements namely the disavowal of the 1950 resolutions and the request that no political tests be made for appointment

00:02:21.720 - 00:02:41.980

and promotion will be referred back to the faculties on each of the campuses. They will then consider this in their academic senate meetings, and after they have considered this, they will bring it back to the next regular meeting of the Assembly, which will be on november

00:02:41.980 - 00:02:55.230

the third, and at this meeting, it is the intention of the Assembly to submit these two questions separately to every faculty member in the university.
