Faculty Meets to Discuss Visitation Report to the Board
Hewitson, Page 87
Faculty passes a series of motions rejecting the findings of the Visitation Committee and affirming support for Shepherd.
Among other things, the faculty disagreed with the judgment of the committee that Shepherd’s teaching had caused “confusion” among the students; neither did the faculty see his “distinctive formulations” as the probably cause of the failure of the attempted union of the OPC and the PCA. They also commended Professor Shepherd’s October 8, 1981 Brief Statement to the Visitation Committee as progress toward a resolution.
