crln-21832	Library Association, American	ACRL Membership Meeting	1971-09-01	4	.pdf	application/pdf	2773	115	59	Mr. Forth replied in the affirmative and stated it was his understanding that if the standards were adopted, they would become ALA standards and we can expect ALA to do what it could to implement them. W hereas, the achievement of academic status for all academic librarians is a press­ ing need, and W hereas, it has been demonstrated that those librarians who have academic status may, without adequate assistance, lose that status, and W hereas, the ACRL Board of Directors have voted to establish an Office for Aca­ demic Status at ACRL headquarters to provide the needed services and assistance for the achievement and retention of aca­ demic status by academic librarians, and W hereas, it is obvious th a t the proposed Program of Action for Mediation, Arbitra­ tion and Investigation will not meet all the needs of academic librarians, Be it therefore resolved that the ACRL Membership Meeting instruct the Board of Directors to assure the establish­ ment of the Office for Academic Status without delay by securing full funding for this office in the 1971-72 budget, and Be it further resolved that, failing to achieve this funding through allotment from the ALA, the ACRL impose a fee of five dollars ($5.00) .upon each of its per­ sonal members and ten dollars ($10.00) upon each of its institutional members, as provided in the ALA Bylaws, Article VI, Section 6 ( c ) , the proceeds of this assess­ ment to be used exclusively to support the establishment and operation of an Office for Academic Status.	cache/crln-21832.pdf	txt/crln-21832.txt
