New page

On October 10, 1968, the [[Columbia Spectator]] published a special supplement, entitled ''Restructuring Columbia'', that sought to describe various plans to restructure Columbia's governance and administration structure in the wake of the [[protests of 1968]].<ref>[http://www.columbia.edu/cu/senate/information/40th_anniversary/columbia_spectator_10-10-68.pdf Restructuring Columbia], Columbia Spectator, 10 October 1968</ref> Student, faculty, and Trustee working groups all proposed different ideas. At the end of the 1968-1969 academic year, the structure designed and advocated for by the [[Executive Committee of the Faculty]], the [[University Senate]], was submitted for referendum and implemented. The Senate remains today as Columbia's comprehensive governance, legislative, and policy-making body, subject only to the reserve power of the [[Board of Trustees]].

 ==Executive Committee of the Faculty Proposal==
-The Executive Committee of the Faculty proposed a structure which was essentially implemented in the form of the [[University Senate]], that is a unicameral body faculty, administration, students, and other constituencies. There was a key difference, in that the Executive Committee originally advocated for a separate and parallel [[Student Assembly]], which would have succeeded the derided and dismissed [[Columbia University Student Council]].
+The Executive Committee of the Faculty proposed a structure which was essentially implemented in the form of the [[University Senate]], that is a unicameral body faculty, administration, students, and other constituencies. There was a key difference, in that in addition to token student representation (ten students), the Executive Committee originally advocated for a additional separate and parallel [[Student Assembly]], which would have succeeded the derided and dismissed [[Columbia University Student Council]]. As it was implemented, the Student Assembly was rightly seen as useless, and student representation was doubled to twenty.
 Some members of the Executive Committee also advocated for the presiding officer to be a faculty member, while others preferred the President. Eventually, it was agreed that the President would preside at plenary meetings, but be required to work with a faculty Chairman of the Executive Committee, who would run the Senate in between plenaries.

 ==Students for a Restructured University Proposal==
-The [[Students for a Restructured University]], a moderate breakaway faction of the [[Students for a Democratic Society]], presented the most comprehensive, far-reaching, and radical proposal for a reform of University governance and administration. It eerily resembled a Qaddafi-esque Jamahiriya of popular committees operating in a multi-tiered form of direct democracy. It is commonly accepted that had this plan been implemented, Columbia would collapse, black hole-like, into an infinitely dense bureaucratic singularity.

The Temple Special Committee did not articulate any proposals of its own, but acknowledged the need for restructuring at every level of the University, and articulated the basic principles of participative idea generation that governed the process.
