It is incorrect and certainly in correct under Dr. Gates. He is involving the faculty in a lot of decisions.” Gunn also volunteers his time to run a freshman learn ing committee made up of 25 first year genetics and bio chemistry majors. “He does this (freshman learning committee) on his own without help,” said Dr. Martha Loudder, accounting profes sor and former Speaker of the Faculty Senate. “Each year he takes the students to Europe for Spring Break.” Gunn has served as a senator for the past three years.
