Ruth Dawson Resolution from the floor on Classified, Proprietary and other Publication Restricted Research, February 16, 2005

Whereas the Manoa Faculty Senate in December 2002 reaffirmed its opposition to classified, proprietary and other publication-restricted research being conducted on the Manoa campus,

and

Whereas the conduct of publication-restricted research is incompatible with the fundamental values of a university and with the strategic imperatives of this campus to "publicize our research more widely to the local, national and internatonal communities" and to "promote the free exchange of ideas",

therefore be it resolved that

The Manoa Faculty Senate stands opposed in principle to the establishment of any research unit on campus that does not preclude the carrying out of classified research under its auspices.
