Inupiat Eskimos Disavow Research FindingsWhen Professor Edward Foulks, psychia-

try and anthropology, stepped off his smallplane in Barrow, Alaska, last week he sensedsomething was wrong.

Foulks, one of a three-member researchteam which had recently released a studydetailing an astonishing alcoholism problemamong the North Slope's Inupiat Eskimos,said the atmosphere for his return to discussthe study with townspeople was "ominous."

Foulks had expected that the six-monthstudy, conducted in Barrow by request ofthelocal government, would not make anyonehappy. The results painted a picture of asociety committing "almost a willing geno-cide," with 72 percent of the adult popula-tion considered "alcoholic" or "suggestivelyalcoholic"; more than half the populationbeing jailed for drunkenness since a deten-tion program to halt alcohol violence wasbegun, and skyrocketing rates of alcohol-related violent deaths, attacks and illness.The problem was linked to the sudden

wealth injected into the society by oildevelopment in the area.What Foulks did not expect was that the

day the study was released, police chief KimMoller, who was instrumental in commis-sioning the study, would be fired on a chargethat he led the news media to "mistakenlyreport (that) most of our peopleare alcoholicand incompetent." Nor did Foulks expectthat the Barrow Mayor Eben Hobson, whofired Moller, would leave "on business"before the town meeting, but beforehandaccuse the researchers of "speaking to 90serious problem drinkers and finding thatonly 72 percent of those problem drinkerswere alcoholics."

But the reaction of the townspeople, whodenied the validity of the results anddenounced the researchers as racist andculturally biased, was not as unexpected.

"I can see how holding up this kind ofmirror to a community, and calling theattention of the entire nation to their plight,is not flattering and is in fact confirmingsome unfortunatestereotypes people have ofsome native people," Foulks explained.

"But our study really onlyput numbers onwhat was quite apparent to everyone. I wasnot terribly surprised that people felt verysensitive about the study and reactednegatively-the numbers arejarring, they'restartling, they are defacto insulting."The only problem Foulks sees with the

negative reaction to the study, which was

carried out with Professor Samuel Klausner,sociology, and Mark Moore, assistantprofessor ofpublic policy at Harvard, is thathe fears "the report ... will be thrown outalong with the researchers themselves andwill be dismissed with simply a racistlabeling."

"If they throw all the numbers away," heexplained, "and just do something about thealcoholism, I will feel not only vindicated butvery happy with the results of our research.The problem is so serious, and so severe, andthere are so few communities in this area ofthe Arctic which have a grip on solving thisproblem.

"It's rampant, it's killing people-it'sgenocide, yet almost a willing genocide."

Foulks' hope is that the study, commissi-oned by Intersect, Inc. and prepared underthe auspices of the Center for Research onthe Acts of Manat the University will fostersuch vehement reaction, both negative andpositive, that someone will try to solve theproblem.

"I don't care about the results of thestudy," he said, "if it catalyses enough angerand enough energy, maybe the momentumcan be used to seriously deal with thealcoholism problem."The first public meeting was held January

23 at a local church in Barrow. Foulks saidthat people were angry but that many roseafter the official presentaion and "madetestimonial to the fact that alcoholism hadseriously affected them, or their families,andobserved how it had affected the towngenerally." He said the meeting was resolvedwith a "serious general consensus that amajor problem does exist in Barrow."The following morning there was another

public meeting, and only a fraction of theprevious evening's 300 attended. Foulksgave an hour presentation but said that hewas frequently interrupted by "people,getting up in a spontaneous way, andoffering criticism of the report."Their major criticism, he said, was "a

disbelief that rates of alcoholism could be ashigh as we reported." The test used todetermine alcoholism, the Michigan Alco-holism Screening Test (MAST), also cameunder attack as "a test devised in the lower48states for the urban population and beingapplied to an entirely different culturalsituation."

Foulks admitted that there are manystandardized tests which produce invalid

results when used cross-culturally, butclaimed that the MAST was "a simple 25-question test, with nothing mysterious aboutit, which directly asks people about drinkingand people answer 'yes' or 'no'."

Foulks also pointed out that the re-searchers in the six-month long study usedconservative methods for interpreting testresults. "Where this test has been usedelsewhere for cross-cultural epidemiology,scores of five and above were taken toindicate alcoholism problems. We used ascore of ten," he explained.Responding to Mayor Hobson's charge

that the sampling was unfair, Foulks pointedout that a random 10 percent was chosenfrom the population for the research.

Foulks said it seemed strange to him that(continued on page 2)

Affirmative ActionPlan Available

The University of Pennsylvania is requiredunder Executive Order 11246 to develop anAffirmative Action Plan to promote andensure equal opportunity in employmentwithout regard for race, color, religion, sexor national origin. The University's Plan, asamended through December 1979, wasmadeavailable to the University community onFriday, February I, 1980. Becauseofthe sizeof the document, three copies have beenmade available for review at the referencedesk in Van Pelt Library and additionalcopies are on file at the offices of Morris S.Arnold, vice president! director of the officeof the President; Joyce Randolph, executiveassistant to the Provost; James H.

Eskimos Give Findings a Chilly Reception

(continued from peg. 1)the local government would be soup in armsabout the findings since they had, in fact,commissioned the study and had seen theresults as early as November.The study, The Inupiat, Economics and

Alcohol on the Alaskan North Slope, madeseveral recommendations to the governmentof the North Slope borough, includingrevamping the detention program, massiveeducational campaigns to teach the dangersof alcohol, and a general drive towardacculturating Inupiat to the Americansociety they have been, until now, misusing.The study links the cultural deterioration

stemming from this misuse to the influenceof American cash wage and bureaucraticstructure on what is, in reality, a society ofaboriginal hunters. The society, which hashad this drinkingproblem even though beingdeclared legally "dry" in 1975, was intro-duced to alcohol by whalers in the mid-1800s. They had no native brew since noagricultural product to ferment was readilyavailable on the ice tundra. The Inupiat nowconsume almost six gallons of pure alcoholper year, compared tothe U.S. average of2.9gallons.

Drinking is started at a young age, andchildren are often initiated by their parentsinto the rites of alcohol. Sharing a bottle ofwhiskey is, according to the study, "part ofthe social ritual of coming together for avisit. It parallels traditional sharing of food,

warmth, hospitality, and other comforts. Itis often an affront to refuse to drink withyour relatives and old friends."The style of drinking also contributes to

the problem. Hard liquor is preferred andwhen a bottle is opened, people drink until itis empty.The researchers claimed that the Inupiat

are generally a quiet, civilized people, andthat violence is not part of their nativehunting and fishing culture. But the reportshows that, under the influence of alcohol,which is brought to the North Slope throughan intricate bootlegging system, the Inupiatnow have higher homicide rates than anyother group and a growing incidence ofsuicide. Two thirds of the growingnumber ofviolent attacks are committed in the homeagainst family or friends.The Inupiat got the money to begin

drinking when a land claimact bought all theproperty except where their houses stand inorder to begin oil development. The moneywas put into a corporation which invests itfor them. Per capita income is now about$20,000 per year.

Oil development continues,and Klausner,who is director oftheCenter for Research onthe Acts of Man, claims "off shore oildevelopment is expected to peak in 2010 or2015, and we don't seethe Eskimossurvivingtill then," unless something is done to stopthe alcohol problems.

Retirement BenefitsExpandedAfter extensive discussion with faculty

members, deans, the Vice President forBudget and Finance and the ExecutiveDirector of Personnel Relations, I am happyto announce that effective July I, 1980 theUniversity's contributions to TIAA/CREFRetirement Annuity benefits will be ex-panded to include all salary paid by theUniversity to eligible personnel rather thanonly the academic baseor benefit base salaryas in the past. The expanded coverage willinclude CGS and Wharton evening teachingstipends, summer teaching stipends, andsummer salary amounts charged to spon-sored agreements.The University will provide its share of

contributions on the incremental salaryamounts, provided the individual I) is

eligible for such contributions under theterms of the current TIAA/CREF agree-ment, and 2) contributes his I herappropriateamount either by salary deduction orreduction. Of necessity, contributions fromparticipants will be deducted on a twelve-month basis beginning in July 1980 ratherthan on the nine-month basis (September-May) currently in effect.

I believe that this long awaited change inretirement benefit policy will provide moreequity in the benefit coverage for ourfacultyand other professional personnel. Moredetailed information regarding this changewill be published within the next severalmonths.-Vartan Gregorian, Provost

University JudicialSystem

At its meeting of December 13. 1978 theSteering Committee of University Council autho-rized the establishment ofan ad hoc committeetoreview and evaluate the Judicial System. This adhoc committee drew upon the work of an earliercommittee appointed by Vice President BruceJohnstone and chaired by Dr. Joyce Randolph.The report of the ad hoc committee, which isreproduced below, addressed both the JudicialSystem itself and the Code of Academic Integrity.The proposed Charter ofthe UniversityJudicial

System would establish a single primary courtwhich would have jurisdiction over all casesexcept those covered by existing judicial systemsin graduate schools. The single court wouldconsist of twenty-four members from whomhearings panels would be chosen. The staff ofthecourt would include a Judicial Administrator,who would administer the University JudicialSystem, and a Judicial InquiryOfficer, whowoulddetermine whether charges should be broughtagainst an individual, enter into informal settle-ments, present evidence supporting the complaint,recommend sanctions, and provide advice andguidance to respondents.The proposed Code of Academic Integrity

defines the use of the grade of "X," spells outviolations ofthe Code, and attempts to reducethelikelihood that the hearings will result in confron-tations between instructors and students.

During its meeting of February 27, 1980, theSteering Committee will consider this report andany commentsmadeon it. All persons who wish tomake comments should send them in writing toRobert G. Lorndale, Associate Secretary of theCorporation, 121 College Hall/CO.

They shall beavailable only to respondents or their advisors,and to any others having a direct interest in thecase and authorized by the JA.

Code of Academic IntegrityInasmuch as the standing of an educational

institution and the value of a degree from thatinstitution are dependent upon the integrity ofstudy and research carried on at that institution,the following statement is drawn to make clear thepolicy of the University of Pennsylvania concern-ing academic honesty.

I. All students are responsible for conductingthemselves in the academic process with unques-tionable integrity.

2. Instructors are responsible for conductingtheir courses so as to foster academic integrity.

3. Except as the instructor may define, allquizzes, examinations, papers, exercises, oralpresentations and daily recitationsare expected tobe the student's own work. Violations of theUniversity's Code of Academic Integrity-that is,academic misconduct or dishonesty-include, butare not limited to, the following:

a. Use of another person's published orunpublished ideas, data or language, withoutspecific and proper acknowledgement.

b. Supplyinganotherstudent with ideas, dataor language knowing that they will be usedwithout attribution in written or oral work sub-mitted in fulfillment of academic requirements.

c. Submission, without prior written permis-sion, of work which the student has previouslysubmitted in similar or identical form in satisfac-tion of any other academic requirement at anyinstitution.

d. Deliberate attribution of material to asource from which that material was not in factobtained.

e. Submission of data which have beencontrived or altered with intent to mislead.

f. Acquisition, possession or use of quizzes,examinations or term papers in any course ofinstruction without the consent of the instructor.

g. Use of unauthorized materials, unautho-rized giving or receiving of information or anyother act of collusion during an examination orquiz.

h. Publication, sale, or purchase ofabstractsor transcriptions of the lectures or requiredreadings in any course of instruction in theUniversity without prior written consent of thecourse instructor.

4. Proctoring is recommended in all examina-tions. Whenever possible, the instructor shouldspecify what materials students may use. "Openbook" or "take home" examinations or problemsmay be given, but rules for such work should beclearly defined by the instructor. Separateexaminations should be prepared if all studentsdonot take the examinations at the same time. Aninstructor may establish special rules, such asasking students to sit in alternate seats, requesting

7 February 1980

that books and notebooks be left at a specifiedplace, etc.

5. a. An instructor who concludes that astudent has committed a violation may provision-ally assign the student, either for the work inquestion or the entire course, whatever grade theinstructor deems appropriate, taking into accountthe moral gravity of the violation, the importanceof the assignment, the quality of the student'sother work in the course, any inference that mayfairly be drawn as to the nature of the student'sknowledge and understanding of the course, andother relevant circumstances. However, no adjust-ment in the student's grade by virtue of thesuspected violation shall become final unless thestudent (a) confesses the violation; (b) consents tothe adjustment; or (c) is adjudged guilty of theviolation by the University Primary Court or bythe decision-making body, if any, to which theschool in which the student is registered hasassigned jurisdiction in the matter. Unless one ormore of the foregoing conditions is met within areasonable period after the discovery of thesuspected violation, the provisional grade adjust-ment must be rescinded and the student given thegrade he would have received had he not beensuspected of the violation.

b. If the suspected violation is serious, theinstructor should ordinarily file a complaint withtheJudicial Administrator ofthe University Court(so that the casecan be handled in accordance withthe procedures set forth in the University JudicialCharter) or with the competent decision-makingbody of the school. Less serious violations maybedisposed ofthrough informal settlement betweenthe instructor and the student offended. Such asettlement may result in the imposition of one ormore of the sanctions enumerated in paragraph 7below. Before entering into such a settlement,however, the instructor should notify the JudicialAdministrator (or, if a decision-making bodywithin the school has jurisdiction, the dean oftheschool)ofits proposed terms and ascertain whetherthe student has been guilty of any prior Codeviolations and whether the sanctions imposed arein line with those imposed in similar cases in thepast. Within five days of the completion of theinformal settlement, the instructor should notifythe Judicial Administrator and the dean of theschool in which the student is registered of thesettlement and its terms, unless the terms of thesettlement itself preclude such notification.6. Complaints alleging violations of this Code

may be filed by the instructor, as provided insubparagraph 5(b), or by any other individual.Such complaints shall be processed in accordancewith the applicable procedures of the UniversityPrimary Court (as set forth in Article III of theUniversity Judicial Charter) or of the body towhich the school had assigned jurisdiction andshall result either in the droppingofthecharge, aninformal settlement ora hearing and adjudication.

7. a. If, after a hearing, the University PrimaryCourt, or the competent body of the school,determines that the respondent has committed aviolation of the Code, it may impose whateversanctions it deems appropriate, including but notlimited to one of the following: warning, repri-mand, disciplinary probation for a specifiedperiod, (indefinite probation (i.e. probation when-everand as long as the respondent is a full-timeorpart-time member of the University community),term suspension (ordinarily not to exceed twoyears), or indefinite suspension with no automatic

right of readmission, or the placement on thestudent's transcript (permanently, for a specifiedperiod, or until its removal by the Primary Courtor other competent body, as provided in subpara-graph e below) of a mark of X denoting theviolation. The mark of X shall be in addition towhatever academic grade the student may havereceived in the course.

b. The appropriate sanction shall dependupon the seriousness of the violation, taking intoaccount such factors, among others, as theextentof the misconduct, the importance of the work inquestion, the degree to which the misconduct waspremeditated or pre-planned, the accused individ-ual's awareness ofthe impropriety ofthe conduct,the prior disciplinary record of the accused, andthe special circumstances (if any) in which themisconduct occurred.

c. Normally a one-year suspension from theUniversity is the appropriate sanction fora seriousviolation of the Code.

d. A second conviction for violation of theCode calls for a minimum penalty of a one-yearsuspension from the University, with the usualsanction being indefinite suspension from theUniversity and a permanent notation on thestudent's transcript.

e. Once a mark of X is placed on a student'stranscript as a sanction, the student may petitionthe decision-makingbodywhich imposed it-thatis, the University Primary Court or the competentbody of the school in which the student isregistered-to remove the X. Such a petition maybe filed only in the student's final semester at theUniversity before completing a degree or certifi-cate program. In considering such a petition,account should be taken of the student's overalldisciplinary record. If the student has violated theCode a second time, both X's must remainpermanently on his or her transcript.

8. This Code shall be distributed to membersofthe University communityat the beginningofeachacademic year.

Proposals to StrengthenHumanities Teaching andResearch Programs Sought

We wish to remind you that the University ofPennsylvania recently received from the NationalEndowment for the Humanities a grant of $1.2million to strengthenthe humanities here. Accord-ing to the grant proposal submitted by FASapproximately $500,000 of that total will beavailable for teaching and research programs inthe humanities if the University can match theaward on a three-to-one basis. The committeeawarded two grants last year for the support of( I)the Center for the Study of Art and SymbolicBehavior; and (2) an Iconographical ResourcesCenter. It is now actively seeking additionalproposals: based on the following criteria:

(I) The general objectives of the allocation offunds should be to encourage and stimulatecooperation between various individuals, groupsor departments in the humanities where naturallines of common intellectual interest intersect.Although disciplines outside the humanities maybe involved, the focus ofthe proposals should bein the humanities.

(2) The means by which these aims should berealized are a cluster of activities combining thefollowing elements: visiting faculty from outsidethe University, released time for faculty within theUniversity, assistance for graduate internshipsand funds to stimulate departmental research andscholarship.

(3) This cluster of activities must be plannedand sponsored by at least two and preferably moredepartments or groups ofindividuals representingseveral departments. The plans will be submittedto the Humanities Coordinating Committeewhich will select those to be approved on thebasisof their potential for developing areas of intellec-tual endeavor where the University has thestrength and resources which can benefit fromsuch assistance.

In order to give the most accurate and completedescription ofour aims the Committee hasworkedout what might be called an ideal type ofcluster of

activities which might serve as a model forapplications.

Let us assume that three departments, x, y andr. have half a dozen people working on a relatedproblem from several disciplinary points of view.They would like to invite a leader in the area wheretheir interests intersect to teach an undergraduatecourse one term and a graduate course the next tobe taken by their students and possibly with theirparticipation in some fashion. They propose theinvitation of this individual who would beattracted by the people here and the offer ofhalt-time teaching. His or her entire salary would bepaid by the grant. In addition one or twooutstanding junior faculty from the participatingdepartments x and y at Penn whoare working upcourses or doing research in this interdisciplinaryarea are to have their teaching loads reduced byone half or one quarter and an advanced graduatestudent in a similar area or department z isassigned to the visitor in the capacity ofan intern:that is, not as a teaching assistant or researchassistant in the normal definition, but to work asclosely with the visitor in a variety of activities,which may include elements of both teaching andresearch. Finally, the participatingdepartments x,y and z might wish to sponsor a small colloquiumor sponsor a publication or set of publicationswhich would make available papers, documentarycollections, or a key monograph of a facultymember which would further illuminate thesubject. They might also request some part-timesecretarial or bibliographical assistance for theseand other purposes.

In the course of planning for the DevelopmentProgram for the Eighties, a number of areas ofinterest among faculty in different departmentswas identified, such as semiotics. Medievalstudies, ethno-history, main currents of Western(and/or non-Western) thought, history andliterature, studies in Jewish thought and culture,African civilizations, etc. In some cases, facultyseminars are already in existence in these areas; inother cases, thematic clusters ofcourses have beengiven. But these areas and topics should not beconsidered exclusive by any means. Undoubtedlythere are many more which can and should beidentified. What is offered here is an example ofwhat has already been done and the general kindof cluster of interests involving several depart-ments which already exist.One of the purposes of the committee is to

solicit proposals for internal grants from as broada population as possible. Although applicantsshould have some indication that their depart-ments would look with favor upon their proposalsif they were funded, there is no reason why everyproposal should have to bear the official impri-matura of each department whose members mightbe interested in participating. When submittingproposals, please make certain that all theparticipants listed from the University have agreedto participate to the extent that they are commit-ted by the proposal.

Proposals should include an estimated budget.The committee suggests a maximum figure of$50,000 for each application.The duration of the grants will be for one

academic year and the entire program will last forthree years until the grant is exhausted.

Applications should be submitted to AlfredRieber, 16 College Hall, by April I. 1980, forprograms beginning in 1980-81.-Alfred Rieber, ChairmanHumanities Coordinating Committee
