Senate membership DECLARATION OF VACANCY (UNIVERSITY ACT, SECTION 35 (6)) Ms. Carol Ng - Student representative of the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences INTRODUCTION OF SENATORS President Strangway welcomed new and returning members of Senate. Minutes of the previous meeting Dr. Berger l That the minutes of the ninth regular meeting Dean McBride J of Senate for the Session 1995 having been circulated, be taken as read and adopted. Carried. 11508 Vancouver Senate 11509 Minutes of September 18,1996 Business arising from the Minutes Business arising from the Minutes ACADEMIC ADVISING (P.11480) Notice of motion by Ms. Lica Chui was given at the May meeting proposing that Senate establish an ad hoc committee to look at the issue of academic advising for undergraduate students. In presenting the motion to Senate, Ms. Chui stated that the proposal was based on the results of a survey initiated by the AMS University Commission and the Student Senate Caucus after receiving expressions of concern from students about academic advising on campus. In general, students who took part in the survey were satisfied with the availability, the knowledge, and the help they received from advisors. However, concern was expressed about a perceived lack of friendliness and sympathy on the part of some advisors. Ms. Chui emphasized that the intent of the motion was to ensure that students seeking advice are treated with respect and courtesy and it was not in any way being suggested that rules be bent. Another concern brought to light by the survey was the hours in which advising is available, and it was suggested that perhaps advising hours could be lengthened or that advisors could be available during lunch hours or after classes have ended. Also, the expectations and changing needs of UBC students was reflected in the request for more career guidance. Ms. Chui noted that some of the services requested by the students surveyed, such as career guidance, already exist, so obviously the university needs to do more in the way of advertising these services to students and making sure that advisors are knowledgeable about the advice they give. After highlighting various other aspects of the survey, such as centralization versus decentralization of academic advising services within a faculty, accountability for advice given, the option of a written record of advice sought and received, Ms. Chui moved the following motion. Vancouver Senate 11510 Minutes of September 18,1996 Business arising from the Minutes Ms. Chui l That Senate establish an ad hoc committee to: Mr. Gorman J 1. formulate and recommend to Senate a university-wide policy on academic advising; 2. review the following items and report its findings to Senate: a. the rationale for having academic advising in the portfolio of the Vice- President Academic and Provost as opposed to in the Vice-President, Student and Academic Services, and b. the selection processes and criteria for academic advisors; 3. address the major issues highlighted in the report presented to Senate by the Alma Mater Society, making any necessary recommendations to Senate; and 4. make any recommendations the committee considers advisable arising from the consideration of the above items. Dean Neuman agreed that this was an important issue and, because student advising is handled differently across campus, that it might well be looked into in some systematic way. She stated, however, that she had a problem with using the survey as the basis for the motion in that it leads students to express criticism rather than praise, and because some of the questions are capable of many interpretations. Dean Neuman stated that while there might be very good reasons for looking at advising, she did not think that the survey in itself constituted such a reason, nor did she consider it to be an adequate instrument on which to base conclusions about levels of dissatisfaction in that only 123 Arts students, less than 1% of undergraduate enrolment, were surveyed. In amendment Dr. Williams i That the motion be referred to the Senate Mr. Gray J Academic Policy Committee. Lost. The original motion was then put and carried. Vancouver Senate 11511 Minutes of September 18,1996 Chair's remarks and related questions Chair's remarks and related questions President Strangway informed members of Senate that, following the December meeting, a reception will be held at Norman MacKenzie House so that members can meet each other informally. The President asked Vice President Birch to comment on the Rick Hansen Institute. Vice President Birch explained that the Rick Hansen Institute is a generic name used to characterize a cluster of activities and funds being brought together. He stated that endowment funds had been established for the Disability Resource Centre, the Rick Hansen National Fellow Program, and the Life Skills Motivation Centre (within UBC) and the Man-in-Motion Foundation (independent of UBC). Creation of these institutions was, to a large extent, through the inspiration and impetus of Rick Hansen and the University's teamwork. These entities have similar and overlapping mandates and different ways of governing the endowments. Consequently, the university was approached by Rick Hansen and representatives of a number of the entities asking the university to work with them to merge the units. The Board of Governors authorized the President, on behalf of the Board, to work to establish a single trust which would bring the endowments together. It would bring within the Rick Hansen Institute a large endowment, a clear mandate, and the opportunity of sharing services across the various entities. Vice President Birch noted that this proposal was opportune in that this year is the tenth anniversary of The Man In Motion World Tour, an occasion that will be used to generate additional capital and endowment for the Rick Hansen Institute, and to leave legacy funds in several provinces. A motion to establish the Rick Hansen Institute will be brought before Senate and the Board of Governors. 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 that the Deans and Heads concerned with new programs be asked to indicate the space requirements, if any, of such new programs.

Henry Elder was an advocate for change and he developed a school that the Commonwealth Association of Architects called "unique in the English-speaking world". Elder used a number of methods to develop a creative sense in his students. His directions were controversial and unorthodox. He encouraged student representation in all of the school's committees and he fostered the increased enrolment of women into the School of Architecture. He stated that "The most significant change is that the school has been concerned with understanding architecture rather than the production of architects". In many ways his School of Architecture, its students and its faculty mirrored the changing culture of society in the late 1960s.
