It was noted that the names of three of the four Lieutenant-Governor appointees to Senate were not yet known and that it would therefore be necessary for the Nominating Committee to submit additional recommendations at a later date. The committee had also considered a request that student representation on the Senate Budget Committee be increased to two student senators but in view of the fact that the Senate Budget Committee was a small committee it was felt that one student senator would be adequate.

Faculty of Graduate Studies Review procedures for administrative units in the Faculty of Graduate Studies Dean Larkin explained that, in accordance with the policy statement on departmental reviews adopted by Senate in September 1977, the Faculty of Graduate Studies had submitted the following proposal concerning review procedures for administrative units:- "I. Reviews of Administrative Units in the Faculty of Graduate Studies should be guided by the recommendations of the Report of the Senate Committee on Departmental Review Policy which was approved by Senate in September, 1977. 2. Reviews will normally be undertaken at intervals of five years. The Dean may require a review at any time and may waive the requirement for a five-year review if circumstances suggest that this is appropriate. A review must be undertaken at least every ten years. 3. A review may be initiated at the request of the academic staff involved, the Director, the Dean or the Senate, but in all cases the Dean is responsible for the establishment of the review committee and receives its report. 4. The review committee should have three to five members, of which at least two should be external to the University. 5. The terms of reference of the review committee are to be prepared in writing by the Dean, in consultation with the Director of the administrative unit. The terms of reference will focus mainly on the academic strength and balance of the unit, but may also explicitly include issues of administration and finance. 6. Prior to a review, the Director of an administrative unit should prepare an internal review document, with a statement of objectives, which is to be available to the review committee. In the preparation of this document, faculty and graduate student reviews should be solicited. 7. Institutes, Schools and Centres are encouraged to undertake continuing review procedures such as are facilitated by annual reports, the seeking of external advice from councils, visiting academics and so on. 8. The report of the review committee is to be made available to the academic staff of the unit, subject to the deletion by the Dean, on the advice of legal counsel, with respect to any material that may be defamatory or of other legal consequence, or that might be considered an invasion of privacy. 9. The Senate should be advised of reviews being undertaken and a copy of each review committee's report, subject to the provisions of #8 above, will be deposited with the Secretary of Senate and made available for examination by Senators." Dean Larkin ) That the policy on review procedures for Dr. Richards ) administrative units in the Faculty of Graduate Studies be approved. Carried 7020. Wednesday, May 24, 1978. Faculty of Graduate Studies (continued) Off-campus graduate courses for credit toward the Degree of Master of Education It was explained in the proposal circulated to Senate that the Faculty of Education had proposed that students proceeding to the Master of Education degree may obtain credit for a limited number of units for graduate courses offered at off-campus locations. It was stated that although such an off-campus component of M.Ed, programs was not uncommon at other universities The University of British Columbia had no such experience. It was pointed out in the proposal that there were many circumstances under which it was especially appropriate that M.Ed, students should pursue the applicational phase of their program at an off-campus location, where theory may be applied to real and immediate problems as well as to simulated ones. The theoretical-conceptual part of the program was thought to be best pursued on campus. After the proposal had been approved in principle by the Executive Committee of the Faculty of Graduate Studies, the Dean of the Faculty of Education and the Dean of the Faculty of Graduate Studies jointly agreed that before the proposal was brought to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and the Senate for approval, it would be useful to have a trial period of two years to provide experience on which to base a detailed proposal. The Agenda Committee, however, recommended that the proposal be debated and voted on by Senate. It was proposed that during the two-year trial period, students in the Master of Education programs would receive up to 6 units of credit for off-campus graduate courses provided that:- 1. the student will have the recommendation of the Faculty of Education to pursue the proposed courses off-campus; 2. the student will normally have first completed on campus at least 6 units of his or her program; 3. graduate courses proposed for off-campus offering satisfy the normal expectations of the University, namely, qualified instructor (normally a regular member of faculty), lecture/discussion/supervision to the extent required by the unit value of the course, and provision (by transportation if necessary) of resource materials required; 4. before approval for credit toward an M.Ed, program, the Dean of Graduate Studies is satisfied that the course is of a type which lends itself to the application of theory to practice in a practical situation. (Examples of such courses are: Education 561 (Laboratory Practicum), 580 (Investigation and Report of a Problem), and 598 (Field Experience)). 7021. Wednesday, May 24, 1978. Faculty of Graduate Studies Off-campus graduate courses for credit toward the Degree of Master of Education (continued) Dean Larkin ) That in accordance with the provisions outlined, and Dean Andrews ) for a trial period of two years, students in Master of Education programs will receive up to 6 units of credit for off-campus graduate courses.

He was associated with The University of British Columbia from its very beginning, being one of the founding members of Convocation, which took place in Victoria in 1912. It was he who, in May 1921, moved the resolution urging the establishment of the University at West Point Grey.

In his response, Dr. Ladner spoke of the importance of education.

Report of the Committee on Appeals on Academic Standing Dr. Moyls presented the annual report concerning the activities of the committee. Dr. Moyls reported that during the past Winter Session 1977-78 the committee had considered seven appeals from students; all were concerned with the student's standing in a course or a program. Three of the appeals were from graduate students who had already appealed to the Dean of Graduate Studies and had been denied. In each of these cases the student had been asked to withdraw from a Master's program; in one case for being unsuccessful in a course, in a second case for failing a Master's thesis, and in the third case for failing in a substantial portion of the program. In all but one appeal the student was being denied the chance to proceed in a program because of his/her failure. In three cases the program involved was outside the department against which the appeal was made. In six of the seven cases the committee denied the appeal. In the seventh case it granted the appeal with a qualification. The decisions rendered by the committee tended to be unanimous more often than in previous years. The appellants were sometimes represented by friends, legal aid or legal counsel. The appeals were usually lengthy and the committee did not always find the decisions easy or obvious. There were usually emotional overtones, arguments for compassion, questions of academic judgement and illness. The committee was concerned that procedures were properly and reasonably carried out, and that in the circumstances in which they found themselves the students had been dealt a measure of natural justice. The committee members frequently found themselves sympathetic to the human conditions in which the students found themselves. On occasion the committee did make specific suggestions to the departments concerning ways in which they might be a little more helpful to students. Dr. Moyls paid tribute to committee members and the Registrar for their assistance. The meeting adjourned at 9.00 p.m. The next regular meeting will be held on Wednesday, September 13, 1978.
