Dean of the Faculty Jeremy R. Knowles yesterday praised the work of the Faculty Standing Committee on Benefits, whose chair, Professor of Sociology Peter V. Marsden, will present the committee's findings to the full Faculty this afternoon.
Knowles's comments came during a discussion of his annual letter to the Faculty, which calls for increased faculty participation in administration and decision making. The dean will also present his letter at today's Faculty meeting.
Knowles yesterday cited the benefits committee as an example--along with the humanities planning committee, the Committee on Information Technology and the Library Committee--of successful recent Faculty involvement in University affairs.
"You have to read it [positively]," Knowles said. "it's really...driven by the recognition of things...that are being made better because of careful scrutiny by the Faculty."
But Knowles also expressed concern about GSAS,particularly the "weak" job market for new Ph.D.sand the decline in graduate student aid
