On Campus FOR THE UC SANTA CRUZ COMMUNITY November 17, 1989 Charting the course of the campus This special edition of On Campus contains the complete text of addresses Chancellor Stevens and Academic Vice Chancellor Tanner delivered at the October 11 meeting of the Academic Senate. Publication of this edition was postponed following the earthquake. From the chancellor: I appreciate this opportunity of speaking at the first meeting. I shall speak for a few minutes and then yield my time to the new academic vice chancellor. I believe that in the Academic Vice Chancellor's Office, Michael Tanner will provide outstanding leadership and will take the office's responsibilities as chief academic officer with efficiency, energy, diligence, and a sense of humor. I am also pleased that Mark Traugott has agreed to become associate vice chancellor for academic affairs. I know he, too, will bring similar yet complementary strengths to those that Michael brings to this office. I am also pleased to welcome Gary Lease as the associate chancellor, which, as you know, is a new position. I look forward to working with Gary on many of the day-to-day responsibilities of the Chancellor's Office. These responsi- [Photograph] Robert Stevens bilities he will share with Julia Armstrong, who will be working both with Michael Tanner and with me. I believe these appointments and arrangements will provide me not only with sound advice and great energy, but will enable the Chancellor's Office to give better service to faculty, students, staff, and administrators. In thanking the new persons in my office and in the Academic Vice Chancellor's Office, I should also like to thank Ronnie Gruhn and Charles Daniel for all they did over the last two years. Ronnie brought great energy and analytical rigor to the office, and I am grateful to the Senate Advisory Committee for recommending her when I found myself an AVC-less chancellor-designate. I am also grateful to Charles Daniel for his willingness to disrupt his research to act as guide, philosopher, and friend on so many issues of both an academic and nonacademic nature. I am also pleased to welcome Harry Harootunian as dean of humanities. Harry, as you know, is a distinguished scholar of Japanese history, a man widely respected both in humanities and social sciences, and someone who will bring to this campus great strengths as scholar, teacher, and administrator. In connection with that appointment, I should like to thank Hayden White for acting as dean of humanities during the summer, as I would also like to thank Bill Doyle for his efforts as acting dean of natural sciences during the summer. Both performed with the great energy and wisdom we have come to expect from them. I am pleased, too, that Clif Poodry has agreed to serve as acting dean of natural sciences this year. As you know, we have an active search for a new dean of the social sciences, under the chairmanship of John Marcum. As chair of the natural science search, I have appointed Bob Kraft, and I trust you will give both Bob and John your support, especially in the way of generating names. I should also like to say how sorry we are to be losing Bob Bickal, director of labor relations, who has been lured off to an attractive position at Harvard. Bob has been a wise adviser on personnel and labor matters to this campus and to the system for many years. I would similarly like to thank the retiring provosts for their contributions, and I should like to welcome the new provosts— Kathy Foley, George Amis, Ron Henderson, and Gerry Vizenor— and to wish you all a very successful year. Let me just briefly outline
