Editor's Note: The little-known but important Council of the Princeton University Community (CPUC), established in 1969 as “a permanent conference of the representatives of all major groups of the University," is the University's second most important governing body after the Board of Trustees. Its charter is at cpuc.princeton.edu.
Excerpt: I write you directly because my March 11 petition, filed with the CPUC Secretary, seems not to have been distributed to the CPUC membership. This failure happened despite my explicit request that each member receive it. Nor have I received explanation why my request was not honored.
The agenda announced last week for tomorrow’s March 18 meeting makes no reference to my March 11 petition. Not by coincidence, I submit, the agenda instead includes as its second item a proposal by Provost Rexford on behalf of the CPUC Executive Committee. This proposal is to ban any and all video recording of CPUC meetings. Any vote on such a consequential measure should be by roll call. A full video record best enables all interested persons themselves to study public CPUC proceedings and to judge their conduct and substance.
