Minutes of 18 September 2019 2019-01-1 UBC W THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA Officeof the Senate Richard Tees } That the Minutes of the Meeting of 18 September Nicholas Pang 2019 be adopted as corrected. Correction: Spelling of Senator Ahmed's name. Approved Business Arising from the Minutes Faculty Compliment of the School of Biomedical Engineering In reponse to a question raised at the previous meeting, Senator Jaeger replied that the School presently had 8.7 full-time equivalent appointments and expected to be at 12 by this summer. The long term plan for 2023 was for 20 full-time equivalent faculty appointments. From the Council of Senates UPDATE ON THE SELECTION OF THE NEXT CHANCELLOR OF THE UNIVERSITY Mr Holmes advised Senate that the second term of the current Chancellor, Lindsay Gordon, is nearing an end and that the committee to search for a new Chancellor was beginning its work. He advised that the full composition of the committee will be announced soon and that students, staff, and faculty have elected representatives. The Senates were to be represented by the Chair of the Executive Committee of the Council of Senates, Senator Harrison. The terms of reference of the search committee have been revised and now specifically allow for Senator Harrison to report to the Senates and the Council periodically on the progress of the search. Academic Policy Committee The Chair of the Senate Academic Policy Committee, Dr Paul Harrison, presented. ESTABLISHMENT OF A WORKING GROUP TO REVIEW THE UBC STATEMENT ON ACADEMIC FREEDOM Dr Harrison noted that Senators would be aware of several recent cases when speakers on campus who were not part of the UBC community raised deep concerns because of the controversial and, to some members of our community, hurtful content of their presentations. Some voices have questioned whether UBC, a university that in its current strategic plan purports to value "respect", is demonstrating that value when it permits such speakers to be heard. He also noted that that the strategic plan also values "Academic Freedom", stating that it requires "respectful discourse and the pursuit of open discussion". In considering whether such events should be permitted, the Executive has referred to the UBC statement on Academic Freedom, which this Senate adopted over 40 years ago and which appears in both the Calendar and in the collective agreement with the Faculty Association. Dr Harrison noted that much has 2019-01-2 UBC THE UNIVERSITYOF BRITISH COLUMBIA Office of the Senate w changed since the mid-1970's. Related to academic freedom is the concept of freedom of expression and understanding how the two apply at UBC is still evolving. For reference, he referred senators to the statement "Freedom Matters" on the Provost's website that resulted from a presidential taskforce in 2017-18. Dr Harrison suggested that it was time Senate to take a fresh look at "Academic Freedom". To that end, the Academic Policy Committee has struck a working group to consult, deliberate, and report back to the Committee which in due course will report to this body. Senator burnham has asked if there has been any dialogue within the senate on the harm caused by these speakers. She asked if any apology would be appropriate givent he senates lack of direction on this matter in the past. Senator Harrison said that it was not his role; if the Senate wanted to have that conversation it could. He said that the policy committee did not think one was warranted at this time but there was clearly a lot to talk about on this matter going forward.

The School is trying to signal its commitment to new forms of journalism. Journalism was a very dynamic school already that is committed to digital and global journalism.

Report from the University Librarian The University Librarian, Ms Susan Parker, reported. ANNUAL REPORT Ms Parker thanked the senate library committee and the Provost, Dr Szeri for their support, and her own staff of librarians, archivists, staff and student employees for their work and assistance. 2019-01-6 UBC THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA Officeof the Senate 9 She outlined highlights from the libraries in 2018/19, reported on how the library was doing, and spoke of the libraries next steps. Senator Averill thanked the Librarian for this report and the exciting ideas therein. Senator Burnham asked about Alumni access to the Library, noting that online journal access was dwindling. Ms Parker said that the publishers control licenses and those licenses are generally only for current students faculty and staff. We are able to negotiate alumni access on a case by case basis and we are looking at broader access. Complete alumni access would cost 3 times our current budget however. We are under increasing scrutiny by publishers on access rights. Senator Singh thanked the University Librarian for her report. He noted the 20% budget issues with exchange rate. He asked what the strategy would be if the dollar depreciated further. Ms Parker replied our current strategy is to mitigate. We try to estimate what the exchange rate will be in a given year. Dr Szeri said that we do use financial derivatives to lessen the impact of exchange rate fluctuation. We do have some US dollar reserves that we use to address part of this situation. Ms Parker said we tried our best not to be billed in US dollars.
