One of the groups we spoke to was the federal Liberal British Columbian caucus, where our presentation on the need to extend the Millennium Sky Train line to UBC was well received. Further to the SkyTrain extension; Dr Ono advised that we have had mostly positive feedback to the recent public opinion poll that shows 82 percent support for the extension. We are continuing our efforts to advocate for this much-needed transit expansion. Dr Ono advised Senate that last week he had the honour of giving a keynote address to the School Community Mental Health Conference in Vancouver, organized by the provincial Ministry of Education, where he spoke about his personal experiences as well as UBC's leadership role in mental health education.

MEMORIAM MINUTE FOR DR ANNE POMEROY AUTOR Dr. Dorothy Anne Pomeroy Autor Born in Prince George lanuary 26, 1935 to Alfred and Mary Pomeroy, Dr. Autor earned both a B.A. Hons and a M.Sc. in Biochemistry at the University of British Columbia. She completed her Ph.D. in Biochemistry at Duke University in 1970 where she was the only woman in her doctoral program. She married Kent Autor in 1957; they had two children together and were divorced in 1978. Dr. Autor passed away November 13, 2018. After completing her studies Dr. Autor held multiple faculty positions in the United States. She returned to UBC in 1983 as a tenured professor in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine and as a clinical researcher at St. Paul's Hospital. She was member of the Senate from 1990 to 1996. In addition to her university and hospital laboratories she opened the first DNA forensic lab in the Province. Having travelled the world throughout her academic career, Dr. Autor retired from UBC in 2000 to teach in the United Arab Emirates and Pakistan. Dr. Autor permanently retired in 2004, returning to Vancouver to spend time with family, and to co-manage her family's ancestral farm in Pemberton. As a pioneering woman in science, Dr. Autor provided mentorship to younger women entering the profession and helped launch the careers of a large number of graduate students. Dr. Autor was also active in many professional organizations, often in leadership positions, and engaged in many volunteer and appointed roles. She served on the Board of Directors of the St. Paul's Hospital Foundation; the Board of Governors of the Law Foundation ofBC; and, the Board of Trustees of the Vancouver Art Gallery among many other roles. She was one of the first two women members of the Vancouver Round Table, a civic organization of prominent British Columbians from business, government, and academia. To her family and friends, the Senate and the University of British Columbia offer their condolences and thanks. Sally Thorne } That Senate approve the Memorial Minute for Dr. Michael Isaacson Anne Pomeroy Autor, that it be entered into the Minutes of Senate, and that copies be sent to the family of the deceased. Approved 2018-5-3 UBC THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA Officeof the Senate w Academic Building Needs Committee The Chair of the Senate Academic Building Needs Committee, Dr Michael Isaacson, presented. SUITABILITY AND USAGE OF LEARNING SPACES Michael Isaacson } That the report of the Senate Academic Building Richard Tees Needs Committee titled "Suitability and Usage of learning Spaces " be received. Approved Dr Isaacson went over the following concepts in his presentation: utilization vs occupancy, tiered access for space booking, establishing learning spaces, quality of learning Spaces, assignment, reassignment and specified usage of learning spaces, use of restricted space/classrooms and classroom scheduling Senator Singh suggested that the quality in space is quite different between newer and older buildings. As an example, he brought up Wesbrook Senate; Building operations was quick to respond but an actual fix for some issues took a lot of time. With permission of Senate, lodi Scott from facilities planning spoke, saying that said they prioritized academic buildings already for repairs. Dr Szeri asked if there were accessibilities issues found in the consultation process. Dr Isaacson said that yes, some were found. He noted that UBC had comprehensive guidelines around accessibility. Ms Scott said that the Learning Space guidelines had a section on accessibility to ensure we meet or exceed the code. Sometimes older buildings do not have the easiest opportunities. Senator Forwell said that accessibility was often thought of in terms of wheelchairs, but doors or visual issues were equally important. These may not be huge costs but would require initiatives. Senator Forwell said that we have a long-standing issue around large classroom spaces and asked if we had a long-term plan for increased our larger teaching spaces. Dr Szeri said that we were in discussion with the Board of Governors to develop a funding stream for academic capital projects. Things that we haven't been able to fund adequately with provincial or private funding. 2018-5-4 UBC THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA Officeof the Senate 9 Senator Harrison said that the Thursday break was important and going faculty-by-faculty would add bearers to students who partake in faculties or courses others than their own. UBC needs to show that the University values activities beyond courses. Dr Isaacson agreed but said that it was a matter of relative priorities. Senator Starr said that the graph for room demand vs availability showed deficit for larger classrooms but a surplus for smaller classes. There may be opportunities to encourage teaching of smaller classes. The investment in this case would then be people instead of buildings. Senator Frigaard said that the Senate should clarify the priority that research seminars have for booking. This was impractical for one off-research seminars. Dr Isaacson said some where senate approved and some were not, that wasn't a statement on their value. Senator Loewen said that he agreed on behalf of math that research seminars should have the same priority as credit classes. Senator Lo spoke in favour of the Thursday break and it being university-wide. Secondly he said that building more large classrooms would not solve the problem. A lot of the issue is budget constraints, it could induce demand. He suggested that Senate and the faculties needed consider what optimal class sizes are to better inform our space decisions. . Admissions Committee The Chair of the Senate Admissions Committee, Professor Carol laeger, presented. VANTAGE COLLEGE - TRANSFER AND ADVANCE CREDIT Carol laeger } That Senate approve transfer and advance credit lakob Gattinger for applicants to the Vantage Program, effective for the 2019 Winter Session and thereafter.

Senator Harrison raised the issue of academic regulations only referring to Commerce. He suggested that it needed to refer to all of the participating faculty academic regulations as well. Senator Lo said that it only referred to the Commerce and Business Administration Master of Management rules; the individual undergraduate regulations would still apply. The Chair suggested that the Academic Policy Committee review the language to ensure there was not an issue. Approved ENROLMENT TARGETS Carol laeger } That Senate approve and forward to the Board of Amber Shilling Governors for approval the 2019/2020 Undergraduate Enrolment Targets, as per section 27 (2) (r) of the University Act.

Report from the Registrar 2019-2020 ACADEMIC YEAR In accordance with Senate Policy V-125, the Registrar, Dr Kathleen Ross, announced the following term dates for 2019-2020 were confirmed: 2019/20 WINTER SESSION Term 1 begins Last day of Term 1 classes for most faculties First day of exams for Term 1 Last day of exams for Term 1 Number of Teaching Days Tuesday, September 3, 2019 Friday, November 29, 2019 Tuesday, December 3, 2019 Wednesday, December 18, 2019 62 2018-5-9 UBC THE UNIVERSITYOF BRITISH COLUMBIA w Office of the Senate Term 2 begins Mid-term break Last day of Term 2 classes for most faculties First day of exams for Term 2 Last day of exams for Term 2 Number of Teaching Days 2020 SUMMER SESSION Term 1 begins Last day of Term 1 classes for most faculties First day of exams for Term 1 Last day of exams for Term 1 Number of Teaching Days Term 2 begins Last day of Term 2 classes for most faculties First day of exams for Term 2 Last day of exams for Term 2 Number of Teaching Days Monday, January 6, 2020 February 17 - February 21, 2020 Wednesday, April 8, 2020 Tuesday, April 14, 2020 Wednesday, April 29, 2020 63 Monday, May 11,2020 Thursday, June 18,2020 Monday, June 22, 2020 Friday, June 26, 2020 28 Monday, July 6, 2020 Thursday, August 13, 2020 Monday, August 17, 2020 Friday, August 21, 2020 28 Dr Ross states that conversations were still ongoing regarding a new Fall Reading Break, but expressed her satisfaction at the long break available next year between the end of term 1 exams and the start of term 2. Senator Max Holmes read the following statement to the Senate on behalf of the student members: Recently, the AMS conducted a consultation amongst students about the options available and the trade-offs necessary to possibly receive a Fall Reading Break and Extended Holiday Break, and over six thousand students participated in that consultation. While important information was gleaned including intense interest from students for a Fall Reading Break and Extended Holiday Break, the work of consultation with students on behalf of a Senate issue should not fall to the AMS or Student Senate Caucus. Furthermore, this consultation had begun with the understanding that there was a possibility that these changes could be considered for the next Academic Year. Two issues have now been brought to our attention that makes that not possible: the lack of consultation with other affected stakeholders, and potential impacts on employment contracts. We are concerned by the miscommunication of expectations. We are also concerned by the lack of support provided for consultations on this topic. The onus of consultation for an initiative, one which could benefit multiple stakeholders, should not fall solely on the shoulders of students and should not be resourced by an external society funded by 2018-5-10 UBC THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA Officeof the Senate 9 student fees. However, we are excited to finally have the data to indicate a strong interest and look forward to sharing the full AMS report with the Senate. We are also thankful for the support of the Chair of the Academic Policy Committee to make the AMS consultation possible. Given the terms of Student Senators which are limited to one year, (per elections); discussions, consultations, and any potential implementation of a Fall Reading Break in a timely fashion are severely restricted by the challenges of Senate timelines and mechanisms. As such, the Student Senate Caucus would like to propose a working group within the Senate to be created with the mission of exploring the possibility of implementing a Fall Reading Break and Extended Holiday Break through an examination of the Finals Schedule and more. We propose this based on the interest we have heard from the UBC Vancouver student body and support further consultation with faculty, sessional instructors, and TAs. This effort should be undertaken by said working group with the Senate Secretariat. The complete report on the student consultation, which will be published by the AMS, should be taken into consideration and addressed in the findings of the working group. We strongly believe that the creation of such a body will signal to the larger community a genuine commitment to address students and the wider UBC community's needs and concerns. We look forward to seeing the progress that can be made beginning with the creation of this working group. Senator Holmes added that he did not think a fall reading week will be possible next year, and advised the Senate that he had read over 800 comments in response to the survey mentioned above; and that 25% of the comments were for in support of the break for mental health reasons. Senator Singh said that the propose Fall Break would result in the term ending very close to Christmas. Senator Harrison thanked Senator Holmes for his work on this issue. He suggested that we are closer than we have been to finding a way for a Fall Break to work; the large issue remaining to be resolved was the number of days we apply for finals. He noted that the AMS survey was based on a preliminary analysis from the exam schedulers and we are waiting for more data. He further noted that exam scheduling also affects mental health. Senator Thachuk said that it was not the days that matters it was the hours. He suggested we could change the class schedule to have more lectures in fewer weeks. The Registrar noted our low number of teaching days. We have also considered starting earlier, having exams on Sunday, or shortening the break between classes and exams. She reminded the Senate that these were all tradeoffs. 2018-5-11 UBC THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA Officeof the Senate w Senator Kindler said that we are tremendously attached to credit hours that is based in historical models that do not reflect modern teaching. She suggested that this could be a good moment to reflect how changes in pedagogy and curriculum can help solve this problem. Adjournment Seeing no other business the meeting was adjourned at 7:29 pm. 2018-5-12 UBC THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA Officeof the Senate w Appendix A: Awards Report NEW AWARDS - ENDOWED Robert and Barbara Atkinson Thunderbird Men's Basketball Award One or more awards, which may range from a minimum value of $500 each to the maximum allowable value under athletic association regulations, have been made available through an endowment established by Robert and Barbara Atkinson along with matching funds from the University British Columbia.
