September 13, 1989 Minutes of previous meeting Dr. Tees ) That the minutes of the Ninth regular Dr. Stager ) meeting of Senate for the Session 1989-90, having been circulated, be taken as read and adopted. Carried Business arising from the Minutes Election of Chancellor and Convocation members of Senate (p.9552) Senate was advised that the closing date for nominations for the election of Chancellor and Convocation members of Senate has been changed from Friday, November 17, to Friday, November 3, 1989. Chairman's remarks and related questions President Strangway informed Senate that there had been extensive discussions between UBC and Ritsumeikan University concerning exchange programs. In connection with this, consideration was being given to the development of a residence facility on campus to house approximately 100 students from Ritsumeikan University. President Strangway noted that information on the Financial Statements, as outlined in the Report of the Vice-President, Administration and Finance, would be printed in the next edition of UBC Reports. He also noted that the following issue will contain details of the budget document approved by the Board of Governors in July. From the Board of Governors Notification of approval in principle of Senate recommendations - subject, where applicable, to the proviso that none of the programs be implemented without formal reference to the President and the formal agreement of the President; and that the Deans and Heads concerned with new programs be asked to indicate the space requirements, if any, of such new programs. (i) Proposal that the UBC and VGH Schools of Nursing be authorized to offer jointly, from 1989/90 onwards, the UBC B.S.N program (pp.9529-38) 9580. September 13, 1989 From the Board of Governors (continued) (ii) Curriculum proposals recommended by the Faculty of Applied Science, with the exception of BIOE 303 and 403 (p.9562) (iii) Curriculum proposals recommended by the Faculty of Arts (pp.9562-9) (iv) Curriculum proposals recommended by the Faculty of Education (pp.9570-2) (v) Curriculum proposals recommended by the Faculty of Graduate Studies, with the exception of HCEP 545 (pp.9572-4) (vi) Curriculum proposals recommended by the Faculty of Medicine (pp.9574-5) (vii) Curriculum proposals recommended by the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences (p.9575) (viii) Curriculum proposals recommended by the Faculty of Science (pp.95 75-7) Financial Statements Copies of the Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 1989 had been submitted to Senate as required under section 31 (2) of the University Act. Mr. Gellatly, Vice-President, Administration and Finance, was invited to comment on the various aspects of the Financial Statements. Mr. Gellatly then highlighted some sections of the report for the information of Senate. Dean Burns drew attention to Table 2, and noted that in the percentages listed for the distribution of operating funds between 1985 and 1989 only the Administration unit showed an increase. Dean Burns pointed out that the cost of administering within the academic units does not come under Administration but is incorporated in the percentage assigned to the Academic and Associated Academic Services. He therefore felt that there had been a diminishment over time in terms of percentage, and a further deterioration in the academic function due to the increased administrative load performed in the academic units. 9581. September 13, 1989 Financial Statements (continued) Mr. Gellatly commented that there were some new or more expanded units in the administrative group such as Community Relations, Information Systems Management, Health and Safety, which accounted for the increase. He noted that where the plant operating costs had been 12.2% in 1985, they had now dropped down to 11.2%, so although there had been some increases in administration there were some decreases in areas other than the Faculties. In response to a query, Mr. Gellatly stated that the figures for Student Awards and Services had gone from $7.9 million up to $8,681 million, so although there was not much of an increase in the general purpose operating fund source for student awards there had been significant increases in other funds such as the trust funds. Attention was drawn to the increase in legal fees. Mr. Gellatly explained that there had been some heavy legal costs in connection with arbitration cases, faculty arbitrations, lease agreements, and an increase in activity in research agreements between UBC and industry. In response to a query concerning Athletics and Sports Services, Mr. Gellatly explained that $742,000 is paid out of the general purpose operating fund towards the athletic program. The total athletic program shown in schedule 6 of the Financial Statements amounted to $1,811 million, and of that amount $743,000 was provided from the general purpose operating fund; the difference is provided by student activities fees as well as event admission fees. He explained that the figure of $258,000 is a year-end Athletics and Sports Services surplus. Ancillary Enterprises are required to operate on a break even basis but year-end surpluses are carried forward to benefit future periods and, as in the case of the Bookstore, a year-end deficit must be recovered from future operations. 9582. September 13, 1989 Financial Statements (continued) Dr. Elder reminded Senate that last year she had requested information on the extra cost involved for the Telereg mailing. Dr. Elder noted that this information was not in the Financial Statements but that she had been informed that the 1988-89 Telereg mailing costs amounted to $126,728. less mailing costs for former in-person registration amounting to $49,246. so that the increased cost in postage alone was $77,482. Dr. Sobrino noted that the figures for the central administration as opposed to the Faculties were quite clear. However, he felt that it would be helpful if figures could be provided that were more relevant to determining the amount spent on teaching and research and the amount spent on the administration of these functions, and what the increases in costs have been over the past few years. Reports of Committees of Senate Admissions Committee School of Physical Education and Recreation - proposal re fail standing Dr. Elder, Chairman of the Committee, presented the report. The Committee recommended approval of the following proposal from the School of Physical Education and Recreation: "That fail standing in a session will be assigned if a student does not meet one of the following conditions: a) passes in all units attempted; OR b) if taking more than 6 units, passes in at least three- fifths of them AND obtains an overall average of at least 60% in three-fifths of the units taken; OR c) if taking 6 or fewer units, passes in at least one-half of them." 9583. September 13, 1989 Reports of Committees of Senate Admissions Committee School of Physical Education and Recreation - proposal re fail standing (continued) Calendar statement: "At any level of study, a student who is assigned fail standing will be required to discontinue studies at the University for at least a year. A student who fails at the first or second-year level will not normally be permitted to re-enrol to repeat that level of work, but if that level is completed successfully elsewhere, consideration will then be given to the student's readmission to the University. A student who fails for a second time, either in repeating a year or in a later year, will be required to withdraw from the University; after a period of at least a year, an appeal to the Senate Admissions Committee for permission to re-enrol will be considered." Dr. Elder ) That the proposal of the School of Physical Mr. Horvat ) Education and Recreation concerning fail standing be approved.

Committee on Student Awards In presenting the report, Dr. Cook, Chairman of the Committee, drew attention to the Basant Singh and Harnam Kaur Singh Fellowship in the amount of $12,000. Dr. Cook explained a change in procedure for the recommendation of prizes, particularly in the Faculty of Law. There were two prizes being offered for more than the usual amount of $250. First, the Michael E. Moran Memorial Prize, listed at $400 and second, a number of prizes in the name of Rosina and Gabriel Iacobucci totalling $850. Although the Committee normally recommended prizes in the sum of $250 or less, the Faculty of Law felt that these were appropriate sums for these prizes. Dr. Cook ) That the new awards (listed in the Appendix) Mr. McMillan ) be accepted subject to the approval of the Board of Governors and that letters of thanks be sent to the donors. In response to a query, Dr. Cook explained that the Committee did not encourage the acceptance of donor money for programs that discriminated, except in cases where students were under-represented in particular areas of study. In cases where donors are anxious to support the University, and it is considered appropriate to encourage their support of students by 9586. September 13, 1989 Reports of Committees of Senate Committee on Student Awards (continued) scholarships and bursaries, the awards officers and the development officers attempt to work out a reasonable solution to accommodate the wishes of the donors.

Ratification of the U.B.C. courses in Arts, Science and Education being offered at the Colleges The following report on the status of degree-granting programs with the colleges had been circulated: "Both Okanagan and Cariboo Colleges will be offering upper division courses in Arts and Science, and the UBC Elementary Teacher Training Program will be offered at Cariboo starting in September, despite the very 9591. September 13, 1989 Ratification of the U.B.C. courses in Arts, Science and Education being offered at the Colleges (continued) "short time for planning, recruiting and advertising of programs. Enrolment at the third year level is low (ranging from 6 students in Science at Okanagan to 16 students in Education at Cariboo). However, the second-year enrolments at both colleges is very encouraging - up between 33 and 45% from last year - which indicates a renewed interest in higher education because of the availability of the degree-granting programs. Library support for the colleges, especially during this development stage, will be flexible to allow quick response. The single most important way of providing assistance will be through interlibrary loans. Provision of advice is critical at this time, and two senior UBC librarians have been named to liaise with the college librarians. Arrangements are in place for an expedited interlending service, using electronic mail, fax where appropriate, and overnight Priority Post courier service for bulky materials. Experience will dictate what materials need to be set aside for UBC users, but to begin, only material that has been placed on reserve will be excluded from interlending. Selection of the courses to be offered in Arts and Science was made jointly by the college and relevant UBC department, and when offered at the colleges, each course will conform with UBC standards. Instructors have been interviewed by representatives of the UBC departments and their credentials have been evaluated. The following is a list of courses that will be offered this fall at the colleges. All instructional assignments have been approved by the relevant UBC department and office of the dean."

Each of the Faculties concerned had appointed a coordinator who has worked very closely with each of the colleges. He stated that the substantial increase in enrolment in the First and Second Years at the colleges suggests that members of the community are more interested in the programs now that upper level courses are being offered. Vice-President Birch ) That Senate ratify the slate of Dr. Weiler ) courses in Arts and Science offered in this Academic Year at Cariboo College and Okanagan College under the University College Program. Acting Dean Dolphin commented that the Faculty of Science expected to continue liaison with the colleges in terms of the development of courses and the timetabling of examinations, which would be subject to the approval of the Faculty. Also the weighting of examinations would be well screened. 9594. September 13, 1989 Ratification of the U.B.C. courses in Arts, Science and Education being offered at the Colleges (continued) In response to a query by Dr. Grace concerning procedures for hiring instructors to teach UBC courses at the colleges, Acting Dean Dolphin explained that in the case of the Faculty of Science, the colleges had advertised the various positions, a short list was arrived at in consultation with UBC, and candidates were interviewed both in the interior and at UBC. Before offers were made to any of the candidates, an advisory committee consisting of the eleven department heads was consulted. Acting Dean Elkins stated that the operation of advertising and interviewing was similar for the Faculty of Arts. However, there were some instructors in the colleges with the qualifications to teach upper level courses so it was agreed that only new appointments would be interviewed. Dr. Grace raised a query concerning the Library. Vice-President Birch confirmed that assisting the colleges would put an additional burden on interlibrary loans, both in the normal course of events and interlibrary facilitated by the electronic communication and courier service. He explained that the University was subsidized for this in two ways: firstly, by a one year grant from the Ministry to the three universities of approximately $400,000. with a request that the universities assist the colleges in the upgrading of their libraries and in the maintenance of library services to students; and, secondly, specifically within UBC's contract and funding from the Ministry there is provision for the support of a number of services within the Library. The universities have also strongly supported the colleges in their efforts to make known their needs to the Ministry for the upgrading of their own collections, and assurances have been given that substantial funding will be available over the next few years. 9595. September 13, 1989 Ratification of the U.B.C. courses in Arts, Science and Education being offered at the Colleges (continued) Vice-President Birch stated that it was quite clear that, with the exception of books placed on reserve in the UBC Library, people in the colleges will have a call on UBC books. He stated that although the books will be subject to recall it was likely that they will be less available to people on campus as a result of the programs in the colleges. It was hoped, however, that by next year the services at the colleges would be much improved. The Registrar reported that the enrolment figures for Okanagan College were: 44 students in Arts and 6 in Science, and at Cariboo College: 47 students in Arts, 13 in Science, and 16 in Education. Mr. Watson, the Acting Librarian, informed Senate that funds were being provided by the colleges for interlibrary loan transactions. Dean Sheehan reminded Senate that the instructors teaching the Education courses are appointed by UBC and that the program at Cariboo College is a UBC program, in accordance with the requirements of the Association of College and Teachers. Dean Sheehan stated that some instructors are hired on a sessional basis and some UBC faculty go up to Cariboo College on a regular basis to teach these courses. Dr. Sobrino drew attention to the list of Physics courses being offered and stated that he was not aware of any discussions having taken place in the Department of Physics concerning this list. Dr. Auld stated that a committee, which included the head of the Department of Physics, and some delegates within that department, travelled to Kelowna and to Kamloops to check that the courses were at the same level and of the same standard as those being taught at UBC. 9596. September 13, 1989 Ratification of the U.B.C. courses in Arts, Science and Education being offered at the Colleges (continued) In response to a query as to what the full programs would be for degrees in Arts and Science, it was stated that both the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Science would be developing general programs in the near future. The motion was put and carried. Education Abroad Vice-President Birch informed Senate that for several years a number of Faculties had developed education abroad programs or exchange programs. While these programs in a number of instances have been approved by the Board of Governors in relation to the fee paying status of the exchange students, or in relation to access to housing, there have been proposals recently, which, unlike the previous ones, may have more academic implications. Consequently, it was felt that this matter should be referred to the Senate Academic Policy Committee for their comments. Mr. McMillan requested that the Academic Policy Committee consult with the Committee on Student Awards when discussing policy matters that might affect the awarding of scholarships. Dr. Tees, Chairman of the Academic Policy Committee, confirmed that the Committee would consult other Senate Committees if the issues were in their domain.
