ROCKEFELLER©1971 by The University of Chicago. All rights reserved.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO RECORDREPORT OF THE STUDENT OMBUDSMANFOR THE WINTER QUARTER 1971April 12, 1971The Ombudsman's Office dealt this quarter withsome forty to forty-five complaints and requests.A number of other complaints were not dealtwith, either because they did not require anything but a listener or because I felt the complainant was in the wrong. In addition, I gaveout some information as a matter of routine andwithout keeping records.As in the past, the cases came from a bewildering variety of areas. Nearby fraternitiesprotested about the Reynolds Club bells; a number of students were irritated by the eveningvacuuming of Regenstein. On the other hand,there were also questions involving large sumsof money and serious moral issues. I was able toinstigate reviews of a number of library policies,either by directing complainants to the appropriate channel or by sending memoranda; thesepolicies included Regenstein's Saturday hours,fine-notification procedures, and the vacuum-cleaning hours. The library administration hasproved exceedingly cooperative, and I am grateful to -them.Among other departments with which I havehad to deal, Student Health was especially cooperative. I have been unsatisfied with the results of only three or four cases of the 40, anumber of which, however, have inspired me toformulate some general questions and conclusions.As I said in my report for the Autumn Quarter, I feel that there are several ways in whichthe status of students in the University is tooimprecisely defined. One class of students whoseposition in the community is completely unclear is the rather large group of graduate students who are not registered but whose majoroccupation is, for example, writing doctoraldissertations. There are different levels of engagement in such activities, of course, and I amnot arguing that everyone who has been "working on a dissertation" since 1951 deserves to beable to use our facilities. But it does seem to methat fifth-year graduate students who are work ing seriously on dissertations but can't afford toregister shouldn't have to pay for access to thelibrary, and should be allowed to use athleticfacilities, etc. I am not prepared to suggest apolicy general enough to cover all or most cases,but I think one should be formulated; presentpolicies are extremely inconsistent.The problem of communications which Imentioned last quarter has also remained unsolved. There is probably little that can be doneto make University of Chicago students listencarefully to administrators. But administratorssurely have the obligation to listen carefully tostudents, regardless of how incoherent, wrong-headed, or mendacious the students may seem.*The unreasonableness of students is insufficientreason for frenzy on the part of administrators;and where the rights or interests of students areconcerned, administrators should realize thattheir duty to listen to the desires of and try tofulfill the needs of students must outweigh theirnatural inclination to protect administrative colleagues. Student activities and services shouldbe conducted to serve the needs (I admit thesedo not always match the desires) of students.The failure of administrators (1) to listen, and(2) to take seriously student views not in accord with their own has at least in part causedthe widespread feeling among the student bodythat administrators are "top-down" in orientation, haughty and unconcerned with students'rights and needs.On the other hand, I don't mean to say thatstudents are without faults. Many of the most-maligned administrators have committed nospecific injustice, as far as my investigationshave been able to determine. Rather, they arein ill repute because it is natural for students tobe suspicious of the men who handle their finan-*I also fear that those students whose life-stylesare unconventional — at least by professorial standards — have considerable difficulty in communicatingwith administrators; nor, I fear, do administratorsalways treat such students as courteously as theyshould.95cial aid, housing, etc. — who ever heard of alarge enough scholarship? Certainly, part of theattitude of students towards administrators isbased on the circulation of anecdotes about "myfriend" or "my roommate"; the horrific qualityof many such stories is only somewhat less impressive than their total lack of factual support.But there are also administrators whose conductand attitudes provide considerable justificationfor distrust on the part of students.The University's employment policies providewhat seems to me an unusual and extremelyunfortunate example of discrimination againststudents. Those students who work under thesame conditions as part-time non-student employees — that is, those who put in 20 or moreconsistently scheduled hours every week thatthe office is open — do not receive the samebenefits (paid vacations and sick leave). Although this policy came into being because veryfew students, even among those who had theintention, were able to fulfill the conditions ofpart-time employment, nevertheless I have hadtwo cases in which student employees actuallywere fulfilling these conditions without receiving benefits. This is discrimination, pure andsimple. In one case, the student who could havegotten his benefits didn't claim them because hefelt his supervisor would fire him for doing so.The other case is still pending. It is my feelingthat the relevant administrators should issue apolicy statement suggesting guidelines to eliminate this inequity. In the meantime, I encourageany student who feels he is doing the work of apermanent employee for less remuneration tocome to see me; I may be able to get the properbenefits for such individuals.I received a number of complaints fromapartment dwellers about the impossibility ofgetting campus directories, which in the pasthave not been sold to individuals. With the Cen-trex system, people without directories mustmake up their own by writing down numberswhen they happen to need them. Therefore, I,among others, suggested a few weeks ago toDean O'Connell that Centrex books be put onsale next quarter. As a result, a limited numberwill be made available to possessors of University IDs in the Spring, in order to see howlarge the market is. In addition, it would bewise when calling from outside the Universityof Chicago to call 753-1234; when one callsthis number, he will be told the Centrex numberof the person he wants to contact and then transferred to that extension. Do not call the oldnumber (MI 3-0800). Last, the large number of problems arisingfrom Murphy activities scholarships has led meto believe that the criteria and the proceduresfor granting awards are inadequate, imprecise,and sloppy. I shall therefore make it my business during the Spring to prepare a memorandum suggesting a unified policy on Murphyscholarships, with, if possible, detailed suggestions on criteria and methods of award. I willreport my conclusions in the Spring.In addition to the work done on cases broughtin by others, my office has carried out two investigations on its own initiative.The first problem we considered was theevaluation of last summer's program for highrisk students. Jerry Culp, the Associate Ombudsman, interviewed most of those who participated in the program and reported his findingsto me. He felt that the program has considerablepotential and that it should be continued for thenear future. He also concluded, however, thatthe students in the program felt that they hadbeen singled out for very close supervision during the school year and resented this very much.In addition, Jerry felt that the quality of instruction offered in the summer program wouldhave to be brought closer to that offered inregular courses if the program is to have significant effects on students' performance. He suggested, for example, that there should be agrading system, although not necessarily coursecredit. I agree strongly with Jerry's conclusions;it seems to me that raising the quality of instruction and stiffening the courses would vastlyimprove the program. These changes would require a somewhat greater investment of facultytime and energy than was available last year,but if the program is to be effective or evenreasonably worthy of the University of Chicago,the investment must be made.Again, Jerry pointed out that the faculty andstaff of the program must be able to toleratecertain ideas with which they are not in sympathy or which they may actively dislike, forthe students in the program are quite likely tohave "militant" viewpoints on a number ofsocial and political issues. Some students whowere in last summer's program felt that theirviews were not tolerated if they disagreed tooradically with their instructors. I can only agree;while I don't feel that one black militant canonly be taught by another one, I must admitthat a black militant is more likely to learn fromsomebody who can understand his ideas anddiscuss them rationally than from somebodywho cannot or will not make that effort.96Our second investigation concerned the College Advisory system. We interviewed sixty-sevensecond- and fourth-year students about their experiences with the advisory system. Most of themfelt that the advisers are fairly competent, andmany students valued their personal relationshipswith them. On the other hand, some felt that advisers were too ill-informed about courses, and"just read what's in the catalogue." There werealso numerous complaints about the concentration program — as opposed to College — advising,particularly from students in the Social Sciencesand the Humanities. I suggested in a memo toDean Hildebrand that the advisers and the departments might maintain better communications, and that many college programs haveentirely inadequate arrangements for advisingtheir concentrators about their programs. Imade no particularly radical suggestions, as theThe following is a listing of property The University of Chicago owns near the main campus.Where a mixed use exists, the property is designated in its primary use.The University owns nothing north of 47thStreet, west of Cottage Grove Avenue, or, withone exception, south of 62nd Street. This exception is a piece of ground, but not the building, on 63rd Street just off Woodlawn Avenue,which came to this institution as a gift approximately 45 years ago. The University owns nothing in South Shore.A student building is an apartment propertyassigned for student use. A faculty-use buildingis an apartment property; faculty and staff aregiven preference when apartments are vacant,but the general public may also be housed. Afaculty house is a single-family residence; facultyand staff are given preference if it is vacant. Astudent house is a residence where students liveas a group.AREA I (47th Street to 51st Street, DrexelAvenue to Lake Park Boulevard)Ellis Avenue :4827 Vacant Lot4933 Vacant Lot students to whom I talked were generally quitesatisfied with the present system.Tony GraftonOMBUDSMAN APPOINTEDFOR 1971-72 TERMAnne Moses, a third-year student, has beenappointed Student Ombudsman for the 1971-72term.
