Faculty Senate
"There shall be established . . . a University-wide Faculty Senate . . . to consider the state of the University, . . . to make recommendations for its academic development . . . to inquire into any matter . . . that has implications for the academic function and welfare of the University and to make recommendations concerning such matters . . . and to be a channel of communications between and among the various faculties and between the collective faculties and the President and the Provost of the University."
On January 22, 2008, the Senate unanimously passed the following resolution.
Resolved: The Faculty Senate of the University of Rochester deplores the statements concerning Jewish identity, the Holocaust and the culture of violence made earlier this month on the Washington Post website by Arun Gandhi, president of the board of the M. K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence housed at the University. While we recognize his right to free speech, we find the religious, ethnic, racial, and cultural stereotyping fundamental to his statements offensive, aggressive and in direct conflict with our other core values and those of the University, and therefore unacceptable.
