Resolution Proposed to the University of Washington
Senate by Dr. Arthur Bostor on 26 May 1966
(Resolution Defeated)
Whereas, a University can actively serve the
ate and nation that supports it, as well as the
world at large, only by maintaining the highest
standards of academic integrity in its teaching and
research program, whether at home or abroad;
And whereas, the alleged involvement of an
American university in the overseas operations of
the Central Intelligence Agency has already cast a
shadow upon the reputation of American universities
in the eyes of the world, has made it easy for hostile
groups and factions abroad to cast suspicion upon the
academic trustworthiness of American professors teach-
ing or studying in their respective countries, and has
created danger that American scholars may be denied
access to, or hampered in their use of, research
facilities and collection overseas.
Therefore, be it resolved:
1. That the University of Washington Senate
d with approbation the public statement of the
Provost that the University of Washington does not
now and has never had such an arrangement with the
Central Intelligence Agency;
2. That the Senate commend the Board of
nts and the administration of the University for
dhering to this wise and honorable policy;
3. That the Senate respectfully requests
the Board of Regents to formulate and publish a full
official statement of policy, so that members of this
faculty engaged in teaching or research abroad may
cite it as an authoritative refutation of CIA inclusion
or of open attacks that may be made in any foreign
country upon their qualifications, their intentions,
or their scholarly integrity;
4. That this resolution be published in
the minutes and released to the press.
