1. Further consideration of amendments to the Tenure Regulations will be postponed. They are clearly "terms and conditions of employment."

2. We will seek to maintain regular consultation with the administration, in accordance with existing policies and practices, on other issues. Under the terms of the Order, we understand that the administration may be restricted from discussion on issues that are "terms and conditions of employment," but it is equally prohibited from making any changes in those items. If the administration declines to consult on a matter, we will expect it not to take any action on that matter unteil the Status Quo order is lifted. Committee chairs should report to the Faculty Consultative Committee any issue on which the administration declines consultation, so that item can be monitored and appropriate action taken.

3. We understand that the Order does not prevent continued normal activities under existing policies. Thus, for example, consideration of candidates for tenure and promotion can continue under existing policies.

4. The Order does not apply to the Academic Health Center, the Law School, or the Crookston or Morris campuses at this time. Ordinary consultative processes can continue to go on in those units. Those processes may, however, be dampened by the inability of the University to be responsive on University-wide issues.

[Note: This same statement, amended appropriately, will be brought to the Senate Consultative Committee for action with respect to the University Senate when the Senate Consultative Committee convenes.]
