University Senate

Examining the University's student
government, the YAF finds it either too
effective or too ineffective. The reform
program hedges on the concept of a
University Senate, fearing substitution of
"coercion by a University Senate for
coercion by the Administration."

Contending that the "criteria of
crime" now employed by the Judiciary
Committee "imply majority disapproval
and punishment of those individuals who
are different or get out of line," the
report suggests new criteria based on the
concept of "actions which violate or
infringe upon the rights of others."
