RE:

Revised Draft

25,

1987

With this note there is included for your review a revised version of a proposed "governance" structure for Bloomsburg University.
In preparing this redraft, we have made every attempt to incorporate
revisions that reflect the concerns and issues heard in our
discussions with a variety of campus constituencies.

While the Preface of the document is a commentary on the philosophy of governance of Bloomsburg, we believe it is important to comment on the basis of the structure and function of the University
Forum as included in this revision.
First, there is a reduced number
of delegates in this redraft as compared to the original proposal.
This is in response to comments that a small but representative
"core" membership be recognized for issues that require formal
action.
Second, we believe that the meetings of the Forum should be
run in a "Town Meeting" format with issues of importance to be
discussed by any and all members of the University Community who
Third, it is therefore the responsibility of the
choose to come.
Secretariat to create agendas that present meaningful, substantive
issues of importance and that provide the opportunity for any members
of the University community to raise issues of concern.
And lastly,
there is an increased flexibility provided for revision of the structure and function of the model.
This addresses the concern that the
framework should be flexible enough to allow for adjustments to remedy
unforeseen encumber ances that may arise as a result of the initial
structure and function.
We believe this revised model will accommodate the desire of the
university community to implement a governance structure, and we hope
that each constituency will provide the qulaity of leadership needed
to make this or any governance structure effective and meaningful.

This cork sculpture was presented to CoUtge of Business

by executive development students in Anshan, China, for President Harry Ausprich and the
student body. Dittrich and Chapman visited China to investigate the feasibility of establishing exchange programs and research studies. The sculpture is encased in a black, lacquered
wood box. Continued good fortune and good will, represented by the delicately carved pine
trees and cranes, are frequent themes in Chinese art.
