BACKGROUND NOTE
South
Dakota State University has an important history of faculty governance.
In 1946, the faculty formed a Faculty Association to promote faculty
interests and faculty welfare. Although it was not a decision making
body, the association had some influence on university policy and
decision-making. By the mid-1960's, however, faculty had begun to
request a more official role in campus politics. After much discussion,
they voted to form an Academic Senate, to be implemented in 1970. The
Faculty Association assisted in the transition, and then disbanded in
1972.
The Senate was created
to be a representative voice for faculty, researchers, campus-based
extension specialists, and non-teaching professional staff. Other
institutions have governance bodies, but the Academic Senate at South
Dakota State University is unique in composition, authority and focus.
The Academic Senate is
an elected body through which the faculty expresses its concerns for the
welfare of the university community, develops and disseminates ideas for
university improvement, stimulates communication, contributes to the
formation of general university policy, and performs those duties and
functions especially allocated to or assumed by the faculty, subject to
the limitation imposed by the laws of the State of South Dakota and the
rules of the Board of Regents. Constitutional authority is granted for
policy formulation and approval of academic affairs, faculty affairs,
student affairs and senate affairs.

SERIES VI:
SUBJECT
FILES, 1969-1998
This series consists of
collected material on various subjects relating to or of importance to
the Academic Senate. It is believed that the various committees
reporting to it sent much of this material to the Academic Senate.
The bulk of the
material deals with faculty and students at South Dakota State
University. The faculty material deals with many topics, but some items
of note are professional staff and teacher evaluations, the relationship
between the faculty and the Senate, material from faculty meetings,
faculty representatives, faculty rules and regulations, and the Faculty
Senate. The student material also deals with many topics, and includes
a proposal for career development, student activities, and material from
the Student Senate and the Student Association. Also included is
material dealing with academic appeals and faculty controversies.
While this sub-group
deals with many topics, a few covered in this material are curriculum,
tuition and fees, collective bargaining groups, accreditation,
classified employees, the Resources Allocation Model (RAM), various
projects and programs which the senate sponsored or participated in,
clippings, and material dealing with Resolution 21.
Folders are arranged in
chronological order by fiscal year (July-June) and alphabetically by
subject within each year.
