Resolution 02-02-02

To Encourage Historical Accuracy
of Rosters and Staff Lists

WHEREAS, The Concordia University System is a synodwide corporate entity (3.401 a.); and

WHEREAS, Each college, university�shall be governed�by a Board of Regents (6.01); and

WHEREAS, In exercising its relationship to the Synod and to the Board for Higher Education as set forth elsewhere in the Bylaws (3.401), the Board of Regents of each institution shall consider as one of its primary duties the defining and fulfilling of the mission of the institution within the broad assignment of the Synod (6.03), and shall

• j. operate and manage the institution �; (including�) such responsibilities as
  • 1. carrying out efficient business management (responsible to the president);
  • 2. receiving of all gifts;
  • 3. concern for the general welfare of the institutional staff members and other employees;

  • 7. recognizing that the authority of the Board of Regents resides in the board as a whole and delegating the application of its policies and execution of its resolutions to the president of the institution as its executive officer;
  • 8. reviewing and approving the major policies of the institution regarding student life and activities as developed by the faculty and recommended by the administration; etc� (p.98-99); and

WHEREAS, The budget got really tight and all the fat had been cut away in the years of transition to a University with a five-color logo and NCAA Division III athletic teams with suitably marketable new graphic identities, a recognizable new mascot, and modest but comely uniforms; and

WHEREAS, Reduction of the size of staff was deemed necessary to maintain fiscal viability in compliance with policies concerning fiscal viability (6.44); and

WHEREAS, Discontinuance and/or reassignment of the ministry and programs of the Director of Student Union and Activities and Director of Orientation Programs was deemed to be of strategic advantage, though termination or restructuring of such responsibilities did not reflect on the competency or faithfulness of the minister whose commission was terminated (in January of 1998); and

WHEREAS, Said person is no longer serving on the faculty or professional staff of a synodical educational institution (2.15 g.); and

WHEREAS, Said person is not otherwise regularly performing the duties of an �active member� of the Synod, nor inclined to make application to be categorized as an �emeritus�, �candidate�, or �non-candidate� inactive member (2.17); and

WHEREAS, Said person is also no longer a communicant member of a congregation which is a member of the Synod (2.15) and is no longer particularly keen on upholding Articles II, VI, and XIII of the Constitution of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod; therefore be it

Resolved That we give thanks that God, by His grace, equipped and upheld this Minister of Religion-Commissioned, through many years of preparation and more than eight years of faithful and dedicated service to Concordia College/University, Saint Paul, as well as to the church at large at various youth gatherings and other functions; and be it further

Resolved, That we give thanks that God, by His grace, will continue to equip and uphold His child through many more years of preparation, service, growth, and change even while he pursues his vocation apart from the Synod; and be it further

Resolved, That the name of the aforementioned person, Daniel Mark Asmus, be removed from current rosters, annual reports, mailing lists, donor contacts, databases of membership or prospective participation, and other such like records maintained by the Synod, the Minnesota South District, Concordia University, and/or their agents or assigns, (though not from historically accurate documentation); and be it finally

Resolved, That in a spirit of playful jocularity, all be encouraged to gather �round and sing a rousing chorus of �He�s a Lumberjack and He�s Okay� as a fitting tribute to Dan.
