FACULTY-STAFF COUNCIL SUPPORTS CHANCELLOR DUMKE The Faculty-Staff Council, a 55-man body which represents the entire college faculty and staff, is on record as expressing dissatisfaction with recent action of the Statewide Academic Senate which attacked Chancellor Glenn s. Dumke. In a resolution adopted without a dissenting vote, the Cal Poly Faculty-Staff Coun­ cil cited Dumke as an advocate of "democratic consultation with faculty" and chided the Statewide Senate for not making a scholarly effort to research available histor­ ical documentation on the development of faculty participation in decision making in the California State Colleges. The resolution also said the recent action of the Statewide Senate did not represent the thinking of all faculty and staff members at each of the state colleges. It cautioned that the "very existence of the Statewide Academic Senate is jeopardized by its own immoderate, unjustified and irresponsible charges" against Dumke. At the request of the Faculty-Staff Council, Dr. Robert E. Kennedy, college presi­ dent, who endorsed the res.o lution, forwarded it to Chancellor Dumke and to each. of the state college trustees. The Statewide Academic Senate had requested Chancellor Dumke to resign in a resolu­ tion which expressed on the part of the senate a "lack of confidence" in the chan­ cellor and listed a bill of grievances centering around the consultative process. A copy of the Cal Poly Faculty-Staff Council resolution, signed by Dr. Corwin John­ son, chairman, was distributed to each faculty and staff member through the inter­ department mail on June 11.
