It was born in the unsettled times of the late 1960s against the backdrop of major social conflicts spilling into the hallowed halls of America’s institutions of higher learning, and out of a search for more effective ways of involving faculty in shaping the academic life and the institutional future of their universities. The Stanford Senate was invented and put on its way by a group of faculty inspired by the visionary Herbert Packer and supported by the university’s Board of Trustees and administrative leadership. It replaced a system in which a small Executive Committee acted on behalf of the Aca- demic Council, which comprises the totality of Stanford’s regular faculty. The Academic Council was by then too large to be an effective governance body, and the Executive Com- mittee was too small to be representative. This initiative created a system of represen- tation that was designed to bring the interests and insights of both the professoriate and the university’s constituent schools to bear on the decisions and policies affecting teaching, learning, and research at Stanford. By all accounts, and as the contributions to this book show, the Senate has served the aspirations of its founders well and has been an important factor in Stanford’s dramatic rise to academic leadership in the world of higher education. In anticipating a celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Senate, and in a series of consultations with former chairs and members of the Senate, the Steering Committees of the Forty-Eighth and Forty-Ninth Senate, the Academic Secretary’s Office, and members of the university’s administrative leadership, two sentiments emerged quite prominently: first, that the Stanford Faculty Senate has stood the test of time rather well, and second, that some reflection on its history would be not only appropriate but also quite possibly useful for mapping out its role in the future well-being of Stanford University and its ac- ademic mission. These sentiments have generated the plans for this volume, whose real- ization has been generously supported by the Stanford Historical Society. While quite a few good and busy people—including but by no means limited to my collaborators on the editorial team, Peter Stansky, Ethan W. Ris, and Susan W. Schofield—put a great xi StanfordSenate4thpages.indd 11 3/4/18 11:54 AM preface deal of time and effort into bringing this project to fruition, writing the definitive history of fifty years of faculty governance at Stanford was neither intended nor accomplished. What we hope to have created is an instructive variety of perspectives and reflections on this history, revealing the Senate’s many layers and facets of representation, deliberation, and participation in the service of Stanford’s academic pursuits. We were very fortunate to be able to persuade two very accomplished historians— Peter Stansky and Ethan Ris—to assume major writing assignments for this book. In taking a long walk through fifty years of the Senate’s records, Peter Stansky has pro- vided an account of that history that reveals the richness and diversity of the Senate’s deliberations over the years, while at the same time reflecting his very personal under- standing and appreciation of this body. It seemed important also to include in the book a broader analysis of faculty governance that would go beyond the Stanford case and provide a comparative perspective on the range of governance arrangements in Amer- ican higher education. Ethan Ris, a freshly minted PhD of Stanford’s Graduate School of Education, took on this task and has produced a rich analysis of key issues in faculty governance, illustrated by a set of case studies on how some other American universities have (more or less successfully) organized the involvement of their faculty in making and monitoring academic policy. In addition to these first two chapters, the editors have made a special effort to give the floor (as one would say in a Senate meeting) to those of our colleagues who, over the years and very much in their own ways, have shaped the yearly iterations of the Senate as chairs and academic secretaries. For Chapter 3, we invited all of those who are still with us to share their views of what they found remarkable or noteworthy about their expe- rience presiding over, or facilitating, the deliberations of the Steering Committee or the full Senate during their term of office. Much to our delight, a very large number of them responded and have brought together a rich panoply of impressions and reflections on what all of them seem to consider a memorable experience.

    Logical Consequence Philosophy of Logic and Language — HT 2017-18

    Lecture 7: Logical Consequence Philosophy of Logic and Language — HT 2017-18 Jonny McIntosh [email protected] Works by Tarski The main text by Tarski this week is ’On the Concept of Logical Consequence’; ’Truth and Proof’ is a very accessible presentation, written much later: Alfred Tarski (1936) ’On the Concept of Logical Consequence’ in his (1983) Logic, Se- mantics, Metamathematics, 2nd revised edition (Hackett). — (1969) ‘Truth and Proof’ in Scientific American 220, pp. 63-77. Secondary Reading Starred items (*) are more introductory, and good places to start. Coffa (1991) traces the historical roots of Tarski’s account of logical consequence (among other things). Quine attacks the analytic/synthetic distinction in his (1951) and defends a version of the sub- stitutional conception in his (1986). For more discussion of formality, see in particular Etchemendy (1983) and Macfarlane (2000). Etchemendy (2008) is the best place to start for his objections, though see his (1990/1999) for extended discussion. For responses, see McGee (1992), Sher (1996), Hanson (1997), Gomez-Torrente´ (1999), Soames (1999), and Paseau (2013). *JC Beall and Greg Restall (2005/2013) ’Logical Consequence’ in E. Zalta, ed.

    Tenure Clock Extension

    11/2/2020 COVID-19 Tenure and Appointment Clock Extension Policy Published on Faculty Handbook (https://facultyhandbook.stanford.edu (https://facultyhandbook.stanford.edu)) Home (/) > Faculty Handbook (/index) > COVID-19 Tenure and Appointment Clock Extension Policy COVID-19 Tenure and Appointment Clock Extension Policy REVISED October 31, 2020 In recognition of the serious academic and personal challenges posed by the Covid-19 viral pandemic, a faculty member holding a tenure-accruing appointment is entitled to a one-year extension of the date (under the seven-year tenure clock) on which tenure would be conferred. This extension will normally have the effect of postponing for a year the initiation of the tenure review process. The Covid-19 Tenure Clock Extension, though it extends the seven-year tenure clock deadline, does not extend the ten-year appointment clock deadline except through an exception granted by the Provost for extraordinary personal or institutional circumstances. The Covid-19 Tenure Clock Extension is available to faculty members holding a tenure-accruing appointment with the exception of those currently in a terminal year appointment or those whose tenure-conferring promotion or reappointment process commenced prior to January 1, 2020, since the work to be evaluated was done prior to the current pandemic. Teaching relief is not associated with this extension. Effective October 1, 2020, this tenure clock extension will be automatically granted to eligible University Tenure Line junior faculty members (as defined above) whose faculty appointments at Stanford will begin prior by December 31, 2021. The extension is not available for faculty members whose tenure-conferring promotion or reappointment process has already commenced (with commencement defined as the date the department chair or school dean informs the candidate in writing that the review process has begun).

ISBN 0-19-505072-x Consider the classic Liar sentence: "This sentence is false." It claims that it is false. So if we assume that a sentence is true if and only if what it claims is the case, then the Liar is true if and only if it is false. People have thought about this paradox for centuries. Despite this, there is no single standard "solution." An attempted resolution of the paradox would tell us which of our intuitions are sound and which need further clarification. It would point out where and why our naive reasoning leads us to a contradiction. Modern logic applies mathematical methods to the modeling and study of truth, proof, computation, and infinity. The paradoxes of semantics and set theory were important in the development of the field. The reason for working on the paradoxes of any field is not only to secure a foundation. The deeper reason is that by introducing, discarding, and clarifying the concepts that lead to paradox we are lead to the central ideas and questions of the field. We see from The Liar that the paradoxes are still a source of inspiration in logic. The book is a new, exciting contribution to the study of truth.

Room 003 MTWThu 10:10 – 12:05 pm Office Hours: Thu 1 pm – 2:30 pm & by Appt Course Description We can find our and others’ thoughts as rational or irrational. What makes us do this? We can point out a gap in our thoughts, discover an assumption in our claims and examine the legitimacy of our inference and reasoning. These activities belong to logic. Roughly speaking, logic is about valid inference and reasoning in our thoughts. In order to analyze our thoughts and inference procedures, we need to have a technical language to express the thoughts and the procedures with clarity and rigor. We will study this technical language called First‐Order Logic (FOL) that helps us to disambiguate our use of natural languages, e.g. English, and prevents us from making logical errors in our arguments. In addition, FOL will allow us to formulate accurately the concept of truth, proof, and valid inference. FOL has been foundational in mathematics, computer science, and cognitive science as well as philosophy. We will be encouraged to apply our learning to other academic disciplines. This course has requirements of daily homework assignments as well as midterm and final exams. Logic is immensely accumulative. If you deviate from the track at any point, you cannot proceed to the next step. It is very important to attend every class and do all the weekly assignments. You are highly encouraged to come to the office hours with any questions and problems you have in this class.
