BACHELOR OF EDUCATION, CHANGE TO CALENDAR STATEMENT ON ADMISSIONS. Present Calendar Entry (page 220 column 2 and 3 of the 2002/03 Calendar) Application For details of application deadlines, see 2002/2003 Application Deadlines. For information regarding tuition and student fees, please see Fees. Application forms are available to download from the website at www.educ.ubc.ca/teacher ed/admission.html Completed application materials must be accompanied by an application fee. Application fees for teacher education are CAD$47 for applicants presenting BC documents and CAD$59 for applicants presenting documents from outside BC, and CAD$32.50 for applicants who have previously registered in an undergraduate program in the Faculty of Education. These fees are not refundable. Selection of Candidates Applicants to the teacher education program are evaluated on both academic and non- academic criteria. Because the number of qualified applicants significantly exceeds the number of available positions, not every qualified applicant will be admitted. Applicants are evaluated on the following criteria: An interview may be required by the Faculty as a part of the admission procedure. Applicants are responsible for their own expenses in attending admission interviews. Advice to Applicants Persons who intend to complete their Bachelor of Education after August 2000 and seek certification from the British Columbia College of Teachers should note that the College will require that they have completed at least 30 senior credits in ⢠any one of or any combination of art/visual arts, English, French language and literature, biology, chemistry, computer science, geography, geological sci- Vancouver Senate 13017 Minutes of December 18,2002 Admissions Committee ences, history, home economics, mathematics, music, physics, or technology studies, or ⢠any combination of subjects included in the British Columbia public school curriculum with a maximum of 12 credits in any single subject other than the subjects listed above. Subject areas acceptable for admission to all program options in the Faculty of Education are included in the BC public school curriculum. The British Columbia College of Teachers regards as senior all third- and fourth-year courses, including all 300- and 400-level UBC courses, as well as courses not of an introductory nature that are completed following six credits of introductory coursework in the same subject area. For example, when a student completes POLI 100 (6) and POLI 200 (3), POLI 200 will be regarded as senior level. Eligibility for certification as a teacher in British Columbia is based on the acceptability of courses in UBC-equivalent credits to the British Columbia College of Teachers. For specific program requirements, please see the appropriate section under Admission. Teacher education programs in British Columbia are approved by the British Columbia College of Teachers. Acceptance of the Offer of Admission Candidates who receive an offer of admission will have a limited time to respond to the offer. Proposed Calendar Entry: Clearly indicate in bold any deletion, insertion, or change. APPLICATION For details of application deadlines, see 2003/04 Application Deadlines (http://students.ubc.ca/calendar/index.cfm?page=deadlines). For information regarding tuition and student fees, please see Fees. Application forms and additional admission information may be downloaded from the Faculty of Education website at www.educ.ubc.ca PLEASE NOTE: Deletion applies beginning on the last paragraph of the second column of p. 220 in the 2002-03 Calendar through the third column of p.220 before REGISTRATION. " Completed application materials must - Candidates who receive an offer of admission will have a limited time to respond to the offer." The following replaces the above deletion. Admission Selection Process Applicants to the teacher education program are evaluated on both academic and non- academic criteria. Each application is reviewed in comparison to other applications to the same program option and teaching subject (secondary and middle years). The evaluations of an applicant's academic requirements and non-academic requirements are normally undertaken concurrently, not consecutively. Because the number of qualified applicants significantly exceeds the number of Vancouver Senate 13018 Minutes of December 18,2002 Admissions Committee available places, not every qualified applicant will be admitted. Applicants are evaluated on the following criteria: 1. Academic Requirements All applicants must have completed academic admission requirements prescribed by the Faculty of Education, including a four year degree (or 90 credits for the elementary 2 year option), 6 credits of English and various subjects specified for the elementary option, the middle years option or the secondary option. For details, applicants must review academic requirements for individual options (please see the appropriate section under Admission>). Language test scores may also be part of academic requirements for some applicants or for specific options or subjects. ⢠Admission average. The admission average for elementary and middle years option is calculated on 33 credits including: 6 credits of English, 3 credits of mathematics, 3 credits of laboratory science, 3 credits of history/geography, and 18 credits of senior coursework in a teachable subject area. The admission average for the secondary option is calculated on the senior courses for each teaching field. A minimum admission average of 65 % is required; however, competition for the available seats is high and the admission average of successful applicants is normally higher than the 65 % minimum required for application. Overall Academic History: ⢠The range of an applicant's courses covering subject areas relevant to teaching the selected grade levels and subject area(s), (particularly secondary applicants), is also taken into consideration in making admission decisions. ⢠An applicant's overall academic performance, including failures, is also considered in admissions decisions. 2. Non-Academic Requirements All applicants must submit: a. summary of experience working with school age children and/or youth; b. a one-page essay indicating what they have learned from their experience with school age children and/or youth that will help them in their teaching career; and c. two confidential reference reports. The evaluation of the information provided on the above materials is an integral part of the Faculty's selection process. Applicants' experience with children/youth and their personal character and qualities as reflected in the reference reports are essential selection criteria. Qualities appropriate to the profession of teaching that referees are asked to judge include: motivation for teaching; enthusiasm; leadership potential; dependability; initiative; flexibility and adaptability, including the ability to deal with change and/or stressful situations; oral and written communication skills; ability to interact appropriately with children and/or youth and with adults; ability to identify problems and pose possible solutions; and ability to accept feedback and respond to suggestions. Vancouver Senate 13019 Minutes of December 18,2002 Agenda Committee Normally an applicant without experience with school age children and/or youth is not admitted to the program. The Faculty may require an applicant to have an interview with the Admissions Committee. 3. Evaluation of an Application in Comparison with Other Applicants When an applicant is deemed to have satisfied academic requirements and his/her non- academic requirements are accepted as satisfactory, his/her application will be compared with applications of other applicants who have applied to the same option or the same subject area(s). Normally applicants with higher admission averages will be offered admission earlier than those with lower admission averages. If there are more qualified applicants than there are spaces in an option(s) or a subject area(s) for the secondary option, not all applicants who have met our admission requirements will be offered admission to the program. THE OFFER OF ADMISSION An applicant will have a maximum of four weeks to respond to an offer of admission. Rationale: The above proposal has already been implemented in practice at the Faculty of Education for a number of years and is included in the Faculty's admission advising materials. The proposal delineates the admission selection process more clearly to all concerned and further assists our applicants in their application preparation. The inclusion of details for the non-academic requirements is modeled on the calendar entry for the Faculty of Medicine. Referees are asked to comment on these specific attributes because they have been identified as key problem areas during the extended practicum. Effective Date: as soon as approved. Dr. Rosengarten i That Senate approved the proposed changes to Mr. McNulty J the Bachelor of Education admissions statement. Carried. Agenda Committee START TIME OF SENATE MEETINGS Dr. Slonecker reported that the Agenda Committee had received reports that members of Senate might prefer an earlier meeting start time. He recalled that Senate met at 8:00 p.m. for many years, but the start time had been moved to 7:00 p.m. in recent years, in response to member Vancouver Senate 13020 Minutes of December 18,2002 Continuing Studies Committee feedback. He asked senators to comment about the suitability of the current 7:00 p.m. start time. Dr. Slonecker indicated that the Agenda Committee intended to collect information at the present meeting, and then would ask members of Senate to vote on any proposed change prior to the February 2003 meeting of Senate. Three senators spoke in favour of the status quo, citing 7:00 as a reasonable time that allowed for a meal break, as well as time for groups of senators to hold caucus meetings. Two senators expressed the opinion that an earlier time would be better, so that people travelling from out of town would be able to return home at a reasonable hour. One member spoke specifically against a return to the 8:00 start time, citing an unreasonably late commute home. Dr. Slonecker agreed to take the opinions of Senate back to the Agenda Committee for further discussion. Continuing Studies Committee CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS Note: This report is not included in the Minutes. Copies are available from the Assistant Registrar, Senate & Curriculum Services. Ms. Hutton presented for information a summary of all certificate programs currently offered at UBC. She stated that these programs reflected a very broad content base and were responsive to both local and global needs, and described them as a "success story" for the University. In response to a query from Dr. Rosengarten, Ms. Hutton stated that the certificate programs in the Faculty of Education were made up of degree credit courses. Dr. Cherchas stated that the Faculty of Applied Science was working to establish a continuing education credit system, and asked whether Continuing Studies would be interested in working Vancouver Senate 13021 Minutes of December 18,2002 Curriculum Committee together with the Faculty on this project. Ms. Hutton stated that Continuing Studies would be glad to partner with Applied Science, and added that Continuing Studies was working with Enrolment Services on ways to better categorize students engaged in lifelong learning. Curriculum Committee Please see also 'Appendix A: Curriculum Change Summary.' Dr. Adebar presented the reports on behalf of the Committee. He gave a brief description of the distinction between Category 1 and Category 2 changes. Category 1 was for larger changes affecting more than one Faculty, or with significant budgetary implications, or anything particularly controversial, while Category 2 encompassed smaller, more editorial-type changes. Category 1 proposals were presented to Senate for approval, while a large number of Category 2 changes had been sent directly to Enrolment Services for inclusion in the Calendar. Dr. Adebar stated that Senate should also expect a large number of Category 1 curriculum changes for approval in January 2003. FACULTY OF ARTS Dr. Adebar l That Senate approve the curriculum proposals Dr. Tees J from the Faculty of Arts. Vice President McBride asked whether the Curriculum Committee, when approving new courses, considered the total number of courses offered by the University and the related financial implications. Dr. Adebar responded that, although the Committee did not monitor the total number of approved courses, many course deletions had also been processed behind the scenes as Category 2 changes. In addition to the usual "housekeeping" types of course deletions, the Curriculum Committee also planned to request that Faculties take a more proactive approach and delete courses that have not been offered for a specified period of time. Vancouver Senate 13022 Minutes of December 18,2002 Curriculum Committee Dean Muzyka suggested that an annual summary of inactive courses might be useful, such that Senate might better understand the dynamics by Faculty. Dr. Adebar stated that discussions were ongoing within the Curriculum Committee, and that he was certain that such a report could be arranged in the future. Responding to Vice President McBride's comments about the financial implications of new courses, Dr. Tees clarified that new courses typically either replaced previous courses, or alternated with existing courses, for very little net increase in the number of total courses offered. Although he supported the idea of regular deletion of inactive courses, he pointed out that departments were unlikely to gain faculty members or additional funding by adding new courses to their rosters. Mr. Tompkins stated that he had heard concerns from fellow graduate students about a perceived reduction in the number of available graduate courses, and asked that this issue be considered by departments. Dr. Vessey cited the example of two new religious studies courses to be delivered by the holder of the recently established Diamond Chair in Jewish Law and Ethics, noting that these new courses simply helped to fulfill the wishes of the donor and did not imply irresponsibility on behalf of the Faculty. Dr. Windsor-Liscombe stated that some of the curriculum proposals, including new courses, were the result of adjustments and rationalization of faculty strengths within the Faculty of Arts. Vice President McBride clarified that his intent was not to stifle innovation, but to highlight the fact that Faculties must realize and account for the costs associated with new course offerings. The motion was put and carried. 1 Vancouver Senate Minutes of December 18,2002 13023 Student Awards Committee THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES Dr. Adebar l Dean Cairns ' That Senate approve the curriculum proposals from the Faculty of Graduate Studies. Carried. Student Awards Committee NEW AWARDS Dr. Thompson presented the new awards for approval, stating that they represented approximately $170 K in new funding for UBC students. A significant portion of this funding had resulted from an endowment from HSBC Canada. Dr. Thompson Dean Muzyka That the awards listed be accepted and forwarded to the Board of Governors for approval, and that letters of thanks be sent to the donors. Carried. Tributes Committee EMERITUS STATUS Please see also "Appendix C: Candidates for Emeritus Status." } Dr. Slonecker Dr. Rosengarten That Senate confer emeritus status as recommended by the Tributes Committee. Dr. Slonecker clarified that, in order to qualify for emeritus status, the faculty member or librarian's age at retirement/resignation/ETA plus his/her years of service must equal or exceed 70. The motion was put and carried. Vancouver Senate 13024 Minutes of December 18,2002 Reports from the Vice President, Academic & Provost Reports from the Vice President, Academic & Provost UBC CENTRE FOR BLOOD RESEARCH Vice President McBride was proud to present this new interfaculty and cross disciplinary initiative for approval, stating that the new Centre would build upon Canada's research acumen in the area of blood research, and would create a better blood transfusion service, in support of Canadian Blood Services. The Centre was to be located on campus in the new Life Sciences building, which was under construction. Vice President McBride l That Senate approve the establishment of the Dean Cairns i UBC Blood Research Centre. Mr. Brady expressed concern about budgetary support for the Centre after the termination of the initial five-year operating grant. He noted that the Centre's 25 faculty members, plus any additional appointments, would be left unfunded. Vice President McBride stated that he anticipated renewal of the grant, and that the faculty members currently employed by UBC would continue to draw their salaries from the University. He reiterated that the establishment of the new Centre did not entail any new financial commitments for UBC, even after the initial five-year period. In response to a further question from Mr. Brady about the impact of the Centre on teaching, Dean Cairns stated that faculty members involved with the Centre would continue to fulfill their teaching obligations to their respective departments. In response to a question from Dr. Windsor-Liscombe about intellectual property rights, Vice President McBride stated that this issue had been considered, and that license and royalty agreements were in place. Vancouver Senate 13025 Minutes of December 18,2002 Report from the University Librarian In response to a question from Mr. Brady, Dean Cairns stated that the Centre's steering committee was comprised of five full-time UBC faculty members. The current steering committee members and the director were the founding members of the Centre. Dr. Tees stated that the governance of this new Centre was similar to that of the Brain Research Centre, and was consistent with the Senate policy on the governance of centres and institutes. The motion was put and carried. Report from the University Librarian Note: the full text of this report is not included in the Minutes. Copies are available from the Assistant Registrar, Senate & Curriculum Services. Ms. Quinlan presented highlights from the Report of the University Librarian to the Senate for the 2001 - 2002 fiscal year, including the opening of a new branch at Robson Square and the Chapman Learning Commons in Main Library. Ms. Quinlan noted that visits to Main Library had increased by approximately 1000 daily since the opening of the Chapman Learning Commons. New staff positions included several Assistant University Librarians. Ms. Quinlan described this reporting period as a very full year with respect to donor activity, highlighting specifically the donation by Dr. H. Colin Slim of his remarkable Stravinsky collection. The gift was celebrated with three days of events. Activity over the following year was to include the replacement of the Library's online catalogue system. Data migration was set to take place in 2004, following wide consultation. Approximately 30 percent of the Library's professional staff was poised to retire over the following year, and Ms. Quinlan asked for the user community's patience during the recruitment and training periods. Vancouver Senate 13026 Minutes of December 18,2002 Report from the University Librarian Ms. Quinlan stated that, thanks to budgetary support from tuition fee increases and the indirect costs of research funding, the Library had been able to operate during 2001 - 2002 at the status quo. During the following year, however, the completion of a large federally-funded project would entail a decrease in funding of approximately $700 K, and Ms. Quinlan expressed some concern about possible impacts. On behalf of the Library Committee, Dr. Rosengarten congratulated Ms. Quinlan and the Library staff on the enormous success of the Chapman Learning Commons. Ms. Quinlan stated that student input had contributed to the project's ultimate success; students had clearly indicated that they wanted a place that directly supported learning, rather than additional social space. IRVING K. BARBER LEARNING CENTRE: PROGRESS REPORT Ms. Quinlan reported on the progress of the planned construction of the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre at Main Library. Thanks to a magnificent donation from Mr. Barber, along with matching funding, a $60 million facility was in the planning and design phase, with opening of the first part of the new building planned for the fall of 2005. Architects had been appointed by the Board of Governors in September 2002. Demolition was to begin early in 2003, with current tenants to be relocated in March. Ms. Quinlan stated that the planning team was currently considering how to minimize the impact on the Library's operations and how to keep its collections accessible. Updates were to be available on the Library's website at: http://www.library.ubc.ca. In response to a question from Dr. Vessey, Ms. Quinlan confirmed that robotic book retrieval was to be a feature of the new facility. Robots would retrieve bins holding a requested item, but would not handle individual books. This technology had been used in warehouses for over 25 years, as well as at universities such as the University of California, Northridge and the University of Calais in France. This was to be the first installation in a Canadian library. Vancouver Senate 13027 Minutes of December 18,2002 Report from the Registrar Report from the Registrar ACADEMIC YEAR 2003 - 2004 Note: The most recent version of the 2003 - 2004 Academic Year is available at: http://students.ubc.ca/calendar/academicyear. cfm?page=2003 &action=draft. Mr. Silzer circulated the draft 2003 - 2004 Academic Year for information. He stated that the draft had already been circulated widely within the campus community. He highlighted a scheduling variation for the Summer Session 2004, which was scheduled to begin and end later than in previous years. In response to a question from Mr. Brady, Ms. Collins, Assistant Registrar, Senate & Curriculum Services, stated that the later schedule represented strictly a shift in dates, rather than an expansion of the summer term. Other Business UBC HOSPITAL RESTRUCTURING In response to a question from Mr. Affleck, Dean Cairns confirmed that the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority (VCHA) planned to release a formal statement on December 19 regarding the pending restructuring of the UBC Hospital. The Hospital was to become a sub-acute care and surgical short-stay facility, rather than a full service hospital. Specialized services, including psychiatry, the Brain Research Centre, and the Student Health Service were to remain on-site. There was controversy surrounding how emergency room services would be delivered under the new configuration. Undergraduate and post-graduate teaching was to continue at the Hospital, following a period of transition. The Dean stated that the VCHA statement was to include a major commitment to patient safety and quality of care, and that the restructuring would not result in a huge cost savings. With fewer dollars available due to government cuts, the Dean stated that the University's challenge was to ensure an ongoing commitment to education and Vancouver Senate 13028 Minutes of December 18,2002 Adjournment research. He encouraged senators to read the public announcement the following day for further details. EVENING CLASS SCHEDULING Mr. Tompkins stated that he had been contacted by Mr. Hugh Soulis, a student in the Faculty of Arts who was concerned about the relatively small number of classes offered during evening hours, and asked whether the President's office was preparing a response to Mr. Soulis' earlier correspondence on this matter. Vice President McBride confirmed that his office was composing a response, and that it would be sent to Mr. Soulis in the near future. CUPE 2278 STRIKE NOTICE Vice President McBride stated that CUPE 2278 had recently served the University with strike notice. A committee to be chaired by the Vice President, Academic and Provost and comprised of the Vice President, Students, the Associate Vice President, Academic Programs, the Chair of the Senate Academic Policy Committee, several deans, and several students was charged with communicating strike information to students and mitigating any difficulties that may arise. A mediator had been identified, and settlement negotiations were planned to take place throughout January 2003, but Vice President McBride felt it was important to inform Senate that there was in place a process for handling a possible strike. Adjournment There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. The next regular meeting of the Senate is scheduled for Wednesday, January 22, 2003 at 7:00 p.m. Vancouver Senate 13029 Minutes of December 18,2002 Appendix A: Curriculum Change Summary Appendix A: Curriculum Change Summary FACULTY OF ARTS New Courses GEOG 412, GEOG 471, POLI 334, POLI 373, POLI 466, RELG 335, RELG 336, New Program Health and Society Minor FACULTY OF EDUCATION New Courses VRHC 511, VRHC 512 FACULTY OF MEDICINE New Course RHSC 509 Vancouver Senate 13030 Minutes of December 18,2002 Appendix B: New Awards Appendix B: New Awards Marcia A.
