...already had some small remedial effect. Two weeks ago, the city council voted another $536,000 for nurses' salaries; now White is asking the council to restore a third of his budget cuts.

It recommends merely "that each department review its practice as they affect this relationship," and that Dean Ford request the results of these reports from certain departments. Instructors cannot vote now in the Faculty; and the Committee would retain that rule, requiring three years of service from an assistant professor before he is given the vote...
