faculties" referred to In the calendar statement concerning the
last day for course changes.
He stated that the Faculty was opposed to a policy permitting
the beginning of a course as late as three weeks after the start
of classes and recommended that students entering science courses
be required to do so within two weeks of the beginning of
lectures. The Faculty also recommended that Science students be
permitted to drop courses within the first month of lectures
without penalty.
(b) Course and curriculum changes (See Appendix 'B')
(c) Proposed revision of the Combined Biology and Chemistry Honours
Programme
The Agenda Committee had recommended that the above proposals

Wednesday, April 28, 1971
Proposals of the Faculties (continued)
to establish a President's Committee to set out policy for dealing
with minor curriculum changes. There was general agreement that
minor curriculum changes could be approved by Senate without prior
reference to the Curriculum Committee. However changes of this
nature should be subject to challenge by the Curriculum Committee
or by individual members of Senate.
It was also felt that in cases of changes in course descriptions
it would be helpful if Faculties submitted both the original and
revised versions. Moreover, the reasons for any changes should be
provided.
A further query was raised concerning the possibility of offering
regular winter session courses during the May-July Intersession
without the customary approval of Senate. It was pointed out that
should additional courses be suggested for offering in the Intersession this year there would be no opportunity for obtaining
Senate approval before the beginning of the session.

In amendment:

debate the second sentence before it had been determined whether the
request was legally valid.
The amendment was carried.
The motion as amended was carried.
In response to a query as to the findings of the committee established
in November to consider a proposal of the Faculty of Commerce and Business
Administration in connection with student membership in that Faculty, the
Chairman stated that the University's solicitors had reported that a
student could not legally be considered a member of Faculty.

overlooked.

for consideration at the May meeting of Senate relating to the organization
of the University as presently prescribed by the Universities Act.
