Senate membership The Chairman welcomed to Senate Dean Nancy Sheehan of the Faculty of Education. Dean Sheehan replaces Acting Dean T. D. McKie. Minutes of previous meeting Dr. Tennant ) That the minutes of the Eighth regular Dr. Gilbert ) meeting of Senate for the Session 1986-87, having been circulated, be taken as read and adopted. 8980. May 20, 1987 Minutes of previous meeting (continued) Senate agreed to Dr. Wisenthal's suggestion that the following corrections be made to the first paragraph of the report of the Admissions Committee on 1987/88 Enrolment Quotas and Controls, page 8974: That the first line be amended to read: "Dr. Finnegan informed Senate that the Faculty of Arts had reviewed..." That the word "therefore" in the fifth line be deleted. That the word "qualified" be inserted before "students" in the penultimate line of the last sentence. The motion was put and carried. Chairman's remarks and related questions Dr. Strangway drew Senate's attention to the material circulated at the meeting concerning the President's Task Force to Review the Office of the Registrar. He stated that the review will take place during the summer and that the review committee will be instructed to submit its recommendations by September 1, 1987. Dr. Strangway further stated that while the basic composition of the review committee had been laid out, the individual membership of the committee had not yet been struck and that he would welcome any comments or recommendations from senators with respect to the membership. In referring to the Presidential Advisory Committee on the selection of a Registrar, Dr. Strangway said that the procedures established by the Board of Governors and approved by Senate in May 1979 will be followed. He stated that a notice will be sent out calling for nominations to be submitted no later than June 30, 1987 for three members of Senate, including one student, to serve on the committee. A mail ballot will then take place, with the expectation that the membership of the committee will be established by the end of August. 8981. May 20, 1987 Chairman's remarks and related questions (continued) Dr. Strangway reminded Senate that a major fund-raising campaign was being organized. He informed Senate that a case statement was being prepared for use in a market survey to take place in September, and that an advisory committee would be monitoring procedures with respect to the market survey. A draft of the case statement will be circulated, during the summer, for information and comment. Dr. Strangway informed Senate that a final draft of a report on the role of the universities in the economic development of British Columbia had been prepared by the three universities, and stated that this would be circulated for comment after further discussions with the Presidents of the other two universities. In conclusion, Dr. Strangway announced that the three universities were planning the appointment of a person to act in such matters as arranging meetings of Presidents, Vice-Presidents or other groups and to help develop a system for the presentation of information to the government. It was hoped that this appointment would make the coordination among the three universities more substantive than in the past. The person appointed will report to the three Presidents. In response to a query, Dr. Strangway confirmed that three of the seven members of the Presidential Advisory Committee on the selection of a Registrar would be elected by Senate, and that one of the three members would be a student. Dean Beagrie extended congratulations to Dr. Strangway on his approach to the management and governance of the University. He also drew attention to Dr. Strangway's efforts and influence in bringing to the attention of the government, matters of importance to all three universities. 8982. May 20, 1987 Chairman's remarks and related questions (continued) In response to a further query, Dr. Strangway informed Senate that the Mission Statement was now in its second draft and that it would be widely circulated for further comments. Relevant parts would be brought to Senate in the fall for formal action. Correspondence The Secretary read to Senate a letter received from Miss Katherine Andrew expressing appreciation for the tribute paid to her late father Mr. G. C. Andrew. Candidates for Degrees Lists of candidates for degrees, as approved by the various Faculties and Schools, were made available for inspection by Senate members prior to the meeting. Dr. Finnegan ) That the candidates for degrees and diplomas, Dr. Tennant ) as approved by the Faculties and Schools, be granted the degree or diploma for which they were recommended, and that the Registrar, in consultation with the Deans and the Chairman of Senate, make any necessary adjustments. It was noted that the name of Olav Naas had been removed from the list of candidates for the B.A.Sc. degree approved by the Faculty of Applied Science. An amendment was moved to add the name of Mr. Naas to the list. It was explained that Mr. Naas, a deaf student, had had some difficulty with the English Composition Test. The Faculty had, however, recommended Mr. Naas for the degree. It was pointed out that it was within the Faculty's purview to recommend Mr. Naas for the degree and therefore an amendment was not necessary. The motion to approve the list of candidates for degrees, including Mr. Naas, was put and carried. 8983. May 20, 1987 Scholarships and Awards A list of scholarships, medals and prizes awarded to students in the graduating classes was circulated for information. Reports of Committees of Senate Academic Building Needs Dr. Stager, Chairman of the Committee, presented the following report: "The report is to inform Senate about the status of the UCBC Five Year Capital Building Plan, the Library expansion, and the changing circumstances that influence priorities for new space and how they are determined. 1. UBC Building projects submitted to UCBC in June 1982 i) Table I lists the proposed buildings submitted in response to a request to establish a 5-year plan of capital building. As of 1983, the priorities assigned by the University are given along with UCBC's selection for inclusion in the 5 year plan including proposed dates for action - the SABN priorities are also included.

May 20, 1987 Reports of Committees of Senate Academic Building Needs (continued) ii) At the time of submission, approval in principle had been given by UCBC for items 1, 2, and 3. iii) During the interval since 1982, the Ministry permitted planning funds to be released for projects 1, 2, 3, and 4, and provided the funds for completion of 5, the Pulp and Paper Centre. iv) Now that UCBC has been disbanded, and there is a new government, the status of the 5 year plan is unknown. v) Recent negotiations with the Ministry have reconfirmed the support for the Chemistry/Physics building (now $16m) and the Campus Services (Physical Plant) building (now $9m) with the release of funds expected imminently. 2. Library Expansion i) Following the latest resolution by Senate in April 1985, asking that the President give a very high priority to new library space in the University's plans for capital fund raising, and further, urging the President to give this need high priority for private fund raising to be joined with government participation (Senate minutes p.8389, 8390), the Board of Governors on July 4, 1985, designated the Old Bookstore site for the expansion of the Library and recognized the project as a high priority for fund raising. ii) In February 1987, the President appointed an Advisory Committee to review Library needs and develop plans for the Old Bookstore site to include the David Lam Management Research Library and other elements of the Library system. The plans being prepared will not be the same as those submitted to UCBC in 1982. iii) Both the Senate resolution and the Board minutes cite the urgency of the Library need and the Senate particularly mentioned private sources of funds in co-operation with government. iv) it is expected that the Library Expansion will be a top priority as a pilot project for public fund raising via the strategies being generated by the Presidential Advisory Committee on Development Policy and the work of the Development Office. Included in this planning will be opportunity for government participation. 3. Observations and Changes i) The 1982 list of building projects contains many proposals which were not brought to the attention of the SABN Committee. While some are not academic buildings per se, many have implications for academic programs and the space for those programs. Indeed three 8985. May 20, 1987 Reports of Committees of Senate Academic Building Needs 3. Observations and Changes (continued) projects, Engineering Expansion II and III, and the Life Sciences Expansion are directly academic. The implication of interleafing projects with those recommended by the SABN Committee is to extend the time horizon and diminish the prospects for meeting established SABN priorities. ii) With almost no action by the Ministry on building requests as we near the end of the 5 year plan period, there are many changes in the Campus circumstances that were not considered in the priority setting by the SABN Committee and by the President's Office. These include: - changes in academic programs - deletions and additions - programs of excellence initiatives - other major research/grant initiatives - the completion of new buildings which might house some academic functions - the prospect of non-university space being released for University use - space reorganization proposals by co-operating academic units iii) The administrative machinery for dealing with physical space - both present and projected - has become more intricate. a) President's Office The President has established a President's Advisory Committee on Space Allocation Associated with this Committee is support for gathering and analyzing appropriate space information, including inventory, functional classification, quality, etc., and planning standards for functional allocation and entitlement. The Committee assigns new space or building initiatives to sub-committees. The Library Space Planning Committee is an example. Ministry capital maintenance or improvement of existing space is to be allocated by the Advisory Committee on Space Allocation from submissions through Deans of Faculties or Directors of other service units. b) Senate The Senate Committee on Academic Building Needs is charged with reviewing all Capital Building proposals involving academic space. 8986. May 20, 1987 Reports of Committees of Senate Academic Building Needs (continued) Summary The Committee, and Senate, will see that events have overtaken and possibly altered SABN priorities approved in 1983. Also new committees have been established, and the routes for advice and decisions expanded. The Committee recommends: 1. That the roles of the SABN Committee and the President's Advisory Committee on Space Allocation be considered jointly by the Chairmen of both committees, and that Senate receive a report against which it may determine the future responsibilities of the SABN Committee. 2. Following any redefinition of the SABN Committee mandate, the existing priorities for new buildings should be reassessed." Dr. Stager ) That recommendations 1 and 2 of the Dr. Auld ) Report of the Senate Committee on Academic Building Needs be approved. Dean Will reminded Senate that in 1985 he had requested information on the fate of the 1982 report of the Committee on Academic Building Needs containing the academic building priorities approved by Senate. In response to that request a report was circulated to Senate in September 1985, containing information similar to that in Table I of the 1987 report. Dean Will stated that in comparing the 1982 list with the list before Senate tonight, there seemed to be a number of large sized projects that had been interleafed. He felt that any list that had been on the shelf for five years needed re-thinking, but that it was pointless to do so unless Senate had some assurance that all and not just some clearly academic buildings were going to be vetted and approved by the committee. He further stated that while he recognized that non-academic facilities for the University as a whole might have to be superimposed on the priorities approved by Senate, it was a different matter when the list 8987. May 20, 1987 Reports of Committees of Senate Academic Building Needs (continued) contained academic buildings that had been parachuted in, totally disrupting those priorities approved by Senate. There was no point in having a Senate committee if there was some other committee, or persons, as indicated in the report, changing the priorities approved by Senate. On a point of clarification, Mr. Mclnnes stated that the Library had not been given a ranking because it was a special project, and that the 53.5 million dollars quoted was irrelevant since it had involved total reconstruction of the main library whereas a much more modest project was now being considered. The motion was put and carried. Admissions Committee School of Music - 1987/88 Enrolment Quotas Dr. Finnegan reported that the Committee had accepted a revision to the enrolment quotas for the School of Music, as follows: First Year 56 Second Year 25 Third Year 25 Major and Honours Programs in Economics - enrolment controls The Committee had considered the following proposal on admission to the Major and Honours Programs in Economics: "Admission to the Major and Honours Programs Admission to the Major and Honours program in Economics is not automatic. To be admitted students must submit a formal application. Because there are a limited number of places some students who satisfy the minimum prerequisites may not be admitted. Currently selection for admission is by merit based on the overall 8988. May 20, 1987 Reports of Committees of Senate Admissions Committee Major and Honours Programs in Economics - enrolment controls (continued) standing in 24 units of credit applicable to the B.A. program. These units must include English 100, Economics 100, and Mathematics 140 and 141 (or equivalents). Non-majors who are eligible to take Economics 490 may be admitted to the fourth year of the program if places become available. Students who are considering a Major or Honours program in Economics are strongly encouraged to seek advice on their program from Department Advisers on completion of their first year. Application A written application for admission to the Major and Honours program should be received by July 15 prior to registering for the third year to ensure that the student will be considered for admission. The letter of application must be accompanied by official transcripts of the student's record from every post-secondary educational institution that he or she has attended." It was stated in the report that the Committee supported the basic philosophy of the Faculty of Arts and the Department of Economics to maintain the content and quality of the Economics program by instituting enrolment controls as outlined in the attached document. However, the Committee had identified potential problems in the effective implementation of the procedures and processes necessary to accomplish enrolment quotas at the department level and, as a result, the Committee intends to monitor the process, as outlined by the Faculty and Department, through the summer of 1987 and report to Senate in the Fall of 1987. Objections were raised to the implementation of the enrolment restrictions this year. It was felt that students had not been given adequate notice. 8989. May 20, 1987 Reports of Committees of Senate Admissions Committee Major and Honours Programs in Economics - enrolment controls (continued) Senate was informed that a statement advising students of the proposed controls, together with instructions to contact the Department of Economics by mid-July, would be included with each transcript. It was also noted that announcements had already been made by the Department's instructors in second year courses. Budget Committee In the absence of the Chairman of the Committee, Dr. Holsti presented the following report which had been circulated for information: "Budget Planning Early in 1986 the Committee discussed four major components of the budget planning process at the University, namely (i) the need for a three-year funding plan; (ii) the need to recognize increasing costs in the base operating budget; (iii) the need for an adequate base operating funding; and (iv) models for "add-on" funding. The University submitted a position paper to the Universities Council concerning suggested changes to the funding formula used to distribute the Government grant to the three B.C. Universities. The Committee emphasized a need to stress the pre-eminent role of research at UBC. Budget Submissions Following the 1986-04-09 issuance of the Ministry's guidelines for submission of proposals to the Fund for Excellence in Education proposals, the three Universities agreed to cooperate in making a joint proposal concerning the stabilization of base operating budgets. Stabilizing the Base Operating Budget (Joint Universities Proposal) This joint University proposal was discussed by the Budget Committee and contained the following main components. (i) Merit driven salary increases for faculty Extensive comparative data were provided on average salaries at other Canadian Universities, and salary profiles at UBC. These data were 8990. May 20, 1987 Reports of Committees of Senate Budget Committee Stabilizing the Base Operating Budget (Joint Universities Proposal) (continued) submitted to the Ministry by the three Universities on April 30, 1986. The 1986/87 and the 1987/88 submissions for "merit driven salary increases" were as follows: 1986/87 1987/88 1988/8 9 1989/90 1986/87 request 5% 6% 7% 1987/88 request 8.5% 8.5% 8.5% At its meeting on September 10, 1986, the Committee welcomed the announcement from the Board of Governors Employee Relations Committee, concerning competitive faculty salaries, having noted previously that the percentage increase described above would not be sufficient for this. (ii) Faculty adjustments and Faculty renewal This item included funds for handling Early Termination Agreements, and Early Retirements at 2.5%, 2.0% and 1.5% over 3 years, plus a request for Bridge Funding for Outstanding New Appointments at 1.0%, 1.5% and 2.0% over 3 years. The 1987/88 request extended the 3.5 percent request to 1989/90. (iii) Market-driven Non-faculty Salaries With a 25% turn-over in clerical/secretarial staff, the need is to pay competitive salaries. At more senior levels the salary was 12% behind market competition. The request was for 2.3%, 2.3% and 3.0% over the 3 years. The 1987/88 request called for 3.5% plus 2% for special adjustments for clerical and for Administrative & Professional staff. (iv) Non-wage Inflation The request was for 4% to account for the effects of inflation, with the Library being treated separately with a request of 8% each year: the 1987/88 submission requested 5% and 8% respectively. Insurance costs have increased dramatically and a 4% increase was requested. The Committee noted that UBC does not have any earthquake coverage. (v) Research and Graduate Studies The three universities' proposal identified three areas for additional sustained provincial funding, namely (a) support of individuals with excellent records for research (b) provision of equipment both for research and the training of graduate students, and (c) scholarship support for the best graduate students. 8991. May 20, 1987 Reports of Committees of Senate Budget Committee (v) Research and Graduate Studies (continued) These requests totalled $15.6 million above the base budget over the three years, with the proposed split being UBC 65%, SFU 18% and U.Vic 17%. Similar requests were incorporated in the 1987/88 operating budget submission from the three universities. 2. UBC Request for Stabilizing the Base Operating Budget The UBC proposal was discussed by the Committee and contained the following parts: (i) Excellence in Computing (a) Computing Capacity Upgrade (b) Telephone Service Strategic Upgrade (c) A high-speed data communications facility (d) Centralized administrative applications (ii) UBC Library: a unique provincial resource (iii) Hospital Space and New Space costs (iv) Reducing ebergy costs (v) Increased productivity and efficiency in administration units 3. Centre of Excellence Proposals Two entire meetings of the Committee were spent on this item. Concern was expressed over the relationship between the various Centre of Excellence proposals, the priorities of academic units, and previous retrenchment discussions. The Committee was worried about the long-term funding of any Centres. It was pointed out that if they are built on current excellence and strength, ongoing support is more likely than if they were d_e novo developments with no guarantee of sustaining themselves. The University eventually submitted an extensive list of proposals, with Biotechnology at the top of the list. Operating Budget Guidelines In the 1986/8 7 Operating Budget, it was noted that UCBC had decided not to depart from the traditional split among the three BC Universities. There was a $1.0 million reduction from the 1985-86 grant to UBC. In a discussion of the 1986/87 Operating Budget and the short-fall on faculty salaries, the Conmittee noted that an equal percentage reduction in the salary budget across Faculties was not consistent with advice provided by the Committee, although it noted that these were on top of very differential retrenchments already determined for that year. 8992. May 20, 1987 Reports of Committees of Senate Budget Committee (continued) Budget Development Procedures In February 1987, the Committee started a consideration of new budget development procedures. The aim is to obtain information on the budget from the bottom up. Deans of Faculties and Heads of administrative units have been asked to present operating budget proposals together with a brief assessment of strategic plans and priorities for the unit. Two meetings have been held to review the units reporting to the Vice President Adminstration and Finance. Further meetings will be held to review the units reporting to the other Vice Presidents. Fund Raising Campaign The Committee has reviewed the preliminary plans for the UBC Fund Raising Campaign. Suggestions have been made with respect to packaging." In response to a query it was stated that the Committee reacted with distress when it learned that the University was unable to pay the Faculty salary increases awarded. Curriculum Committee (see Appendix 'B') Dr. Thompson presented the report on curriculum proposals submitted by the Faculties of Agricultural Sciences, Applied Science, Arts, Education, Forestry, Graduate Studies, Medicine, and Science. The Committee recommended approval, subject to the following: Agricultural Sciences - Note 8, Computer Science 101 should read Computer Science 111 Under Courses offered by other Department and Faculties insert Chemistry before Commerce. Fish Aquaculture Option - in order to reduce possible confusion with other programs being developed in the area of aquaculture, delete the word "Aquaculture". This will now read "Fish Option". Applied Science - ELEC 456 - add to the description: "Prerequisite: MATH/STAT 205 or STAT 251. Credit will be given for only one of CPSC 417 and ELEC 456. (3-0-l;0-0-0)" 8993. May 20, 1987 Reports of Committees of Senate Curriculum Committee (continued) PHYS 250 - the following change in description was omitted from the submission: PHYS 250 (2) Introduction to Modern Physics - Wave particle duality of matter, special relativity processes in atomic, nuclear and solid state and introduction to quantum mechanical measurement devices and techniques. Prerequisite: Physics 151 (0-0-0; 3-3-1) Program change 4th Year - (listed in Appendix 'B') Education - change prerequisite for ARTE 303 and 305 from ARTE 100 and 201 to Fine Arts 181 and 3 units of Art History. Dr. Thompson ) That the proposals of the Faculties of Dr. Hoisti ) Agricultural Sciences, Applied Science, Arts, Education, Forestry, Graduate Studies, Medicine, and Science be approved, subject to the provisos noted. Attention was drawn to the reference to Geography 214 in the description of Forestry 205. It was pointed out that in the submission from the Faculty of Science the number had been changed to 204. The motion put and carried. Dr. Thompson paid tribute to those who had worked with him on the Senate Curriculum Committee over the past three years. On behalf of Senate the Chairman expressed thanks and appreciation for the work done by Dr. Thompson as chairman of the Senate Curriculum Committee. Nominating Committee Dr. Tennant, Chairman of the Committee, presented the following report nominating persons to fill vacancies on Senate Committees: 8994.

Dr. Williams drew attention to the Data General (Canada) inc. Scholarship, and noted that the statement should read "...The award will be made on the recommendation of the Faculty of Graduate Studies in consultation with the Faculty of Commerce and Business Administration...". The motion was put and carried. 8996. May 20, 1987 Reports of Committees of Senate (continued) Tributes Committee Memorial Minutes The following memorial statements had been prepared in accordance with the custom of Senate in recognition by the University and Senate of the late Sperrin Noah Fulton chant and the late Kenneth Gordon Young. IN MEMORIAM SPERRIN NOAH FULTON CHANT (1896 - 1987) With the passing of Sperrin Chant, this university has lost one of the last of its great builders of the post war years. Not only was Dean Chant a powerful force in the creation of solutions to the university's critical problem of growth and change, he also served as a tireless spokesman for higher education in the wider community and was regarded as an educational leader of unrivaled stature. Sperrin Chant was born in St. Thomas, Ontario in 1896. After serving in the Canadian Expeditionery Force from 1916-1918, he enrolled at the University of Toronto where he completed his B.A. and M.A. with an outstanding academic record. Dean Chant joined the teaching faculty of his alma mater as a Professor of Psychology between 1922 and 1945. Again his career was interrupted by service in World War II with the Royal Canadian Air Force from 1941 to 1944. In 1945 he was appointed Head of Psychology and Philosophy and three years later as Dean of Arts and Science at this university. His involvement in the Senate covered sixteen years. It is quite impossible to adequately recognize the enormous contribution which he made to the academic development of this university. He played a major role in the preparation of the Macdonald Report, a creative endeavour which changed forever the face of higher education in this province. In 1960, Dean Chant completed the onerous task of chairing the Royal Commission on Education. Although not without controversy, the Report was exhaustive, critical and constructive. It became a blueprint for public education and defined an organizational structure which has endured to this day. His retirement as Dean in 1964 simply brought new challenges and further responsibilities. Dean Chant played a leading role in the development of post-secondary education in British Columbia by chairing the Academic 8997. May 20, 1987 Reports of Committees of Senate Tributes Committee Memorial Minutes (continued) Board. It was largely a consequence of his diplomatic and planning skills that articulation within the system developed rationally and efficiently. Sperrin Chant was noted for his wisdom and sound judgment. His counsel was sought, not only by some of the most influential figures in Canada, but by a host of individuals with problems of lesser magnitude. To all who sought his advice he gave the same courteous attention - inevitably tempered with respect and consideration. Sperrin Chant served his country for over seventy years - as a distinguished scholar, a soldier, and a dedicated public servant, whenever and wherever his help was needed. Through his long and productive life he never failed to provide a unique quality of service which characterized his entire career.

Carried IN MEMORIAM KENNETH GORDON YOUNG (1938-1987) No organization as complex as The University of British Columbia could operate efficiently without the assistance of a loyal and dedicated support staff. In this regard, Ken Young provided the leadership so vital to the success of the academic enterprise. Directly or indirectly, he touched the lives of every student of this University, from the time of application to the day of graduation. He offered his services cheerfully, conscientiously, and often well beyond the normal call of duty. Kenneth Young was born in Edmonton in 1938. He earned degrees in Arts and Commerce from the University of Alberta and, after serving as assistant registrar at the University of Calgary, accepted a similar position in this institution in 1965. In 1980 he succeeded Jack Parnall as Registrar. 8998. May 20, 1987 Reports of Committees of Senate Tributes Committee Memorial Minutes (continued) During his time in office, Ken Young became an essential source of information in all of those policies and procedures which sustain academe. It may be said of his diplomatic skills that no matter how complex the issue nor how tangled the procedures, Ken Young always found a way. No member of the academic community knew more faculty, more support staff, or more students than he. In each case his interest was sincere and unreserved. He served on innumerable committees, often providing the continuity necessary to complete the task before them. He displayed a similar level of dedication in the wide community as a member of the Board of St. Paul's Hospital Foundation from 1985 to 1987. Ken Young was a loyal servant of this University. He followed in the tradition of outstanding registrars whose contributions are so often assumed and so rarely recognized. It is appropriate that the Senate, a body to which he devoted so much of his patient energy, should record its appreciation of Kenneth Young in the minutes of this meeting. To his surviving family the Senate of The University of British Columbia extends its deepest sympathy. Dr. Dennison ) That the memorial statement for Dean Webber ) Kenneth Gordon Young be spread on the minutes of Senate and that a copy be sent to the relatives of the deceased. Carried Ad hoc Committee on Emeritus Status for non-Faculty The original report of the Committee had been tabled at the April 26, 1986 meeting of Senate; the intention being that the report would be lifted from the table after obtaining appropriate advice on the use of the words "...who have been appointed to the position by the Board of Governors..." in recommendation 1. of that report. 8999. May 20, 1987 Reports of Committees of Senate Ad hoc Committee on Emeritus Status for non-Faculty (continued) Mr. McConville, Chairman of the Committee, presented the following amended report: "Pursuant to a resolution of Senate at its meeting on March 20, 1985 an ad hoc committee was appointed with terms of reference "to review the appropriateness of granting emeritus status to senior professional members of the University community who are not faculty. The Committee should, if necessary include amended terms of reference for the Senate Tributes Committee". In order to ascertain the practice elsewhere in Canada the Registrar, on behalf of the Committee, enquired of 12 universities across Canada as to the policies in effect relating to emeritus status for non-faculty. Of the twelve, eight universities have no provision for non-faculty emeritus appointments while three provide for emeritus status for non-faculty such as chief librarian, administrative officers such as vice-presidents, registrars, university secretaries. One university makes provision for emeritus status for "Academic (Non-Teaching) Faculty" which includes such positions as Director University Counselling Services, Director Academic Computing Services, Nursing Director (University Health Service). In approaching the question of how far emeritus status should be granted at U.B.C. to retired non-Faculty members of the University community, the Committee started with the realization that U.B.C. grants emeritus status virtually automatically to all retiring members of the University who fall into defined categories. These categories presently include all full time teaching faculty who retire at the rank of Senior Instructor or higher at the age of 65, or on early retirement after at least 10 years of service. Clinical appointees who have served at a significant level for at least 15 years are also eligible, upon recommendation of the Dean of Medicine. It was beyond the Committee's terms of reference to reconsider this basic policy. Therefore the question, as the Committee saw it, is whether the rationale behind the basic policy that we now follow should apply with equal force to non-Faculty, or certain groups of non-Faculty. That rationale, in the Committee's view, is that emeritus status at U.B.C. is not seen primarily as a mark of exceptional academic distinction. Rather, it seems to be regarded as a tribute to the service that a retiring employee has given as part of the academic enterprise of the University. It is taken for granted that in their teaching or scholarship or both, the teaching faculty have made a major contribution to the academic enterprise. The question is whether certain other groups make a contribution to teaching or scholarship that is similarly integral to the academic enterprise. 9000. May 20, 1987 Reports of Committees of Senate Ad hoc Committee on Emeritus Status for non-Faculty (continued) The Committee considered that the professional librarian's role is well established and essential to the academic activity of the University. Consequently, professional librarians should be included in the positions eligible for emeritus status on a similar basis as are faculty. The Committee also concluded that other persons functioning in a similar role in a modern multi-discipline university should be eligible for emeritus status. It also concluded that an appropriate test of non-faculty who should be eligible for emeritus status would be whether or not the person had been appointed to his or her position by the Board of Governors. The Committee was advised that non-faculty so appointed are now librarians, the directors and programme directors of the Centre for Continuing Education as well as University officers. Accordingly the Committee makes the following recommendations: 1. That on retirement full-time librarians, directors and programme directors of the Centre for Continuing Education and University officers who have served for 10 consecutive years prior to retirement be eligible for emeritus status. 2. That Senate grant emeritus status to such persons who are eligible under the preceding paragraph and are nominated by the President of the University, the University Librarian, or the Director, Centre for Continuing Education, as appropriate. 3. That the terms of reference of the Tributes Committee be amended to include the above recommendations. The Committee did not consider it necessary to review the well established practice of this University of granting emeritus status to retired Chancellors, Presidents, Deans and Registrars." Mr. McConville ) That the report of the Committee be Mr. Burnyeat ) adopted and that the Committee be discharged. Dr. Dennison pointed out that the recommendations were not consistent with the current policy for faculty. He reminded Senate that there are two categories of retirees: those who reach 65, the normal retirement age, for which emeritus status is granted automatically, and those who take early retirement. The policy established by Senate for those taking early retirement states that early retirees will be eligible for emeritus status with a minimum of 10 years service and a minimum of seventy "points", in a combination of age and years of service. 9001. May 20, 1987 Reports of Committees of Senate Ad hoc Committee on Emeritus Status for non-Faculty (continued) In amendment: Dr. Dennison Dr. Tennant ) That the recommendations be amended ) to read: 1. That at normal retirement age, 65, full-time librarians, directors and programme directors of the Centre for Continuing Education and University officers be eligible for emeritus status. 2. That on early retirement such persons who have served at least 10 consecutive years prior to retirement and for whom the sum of their age and years of service total at least 70 points be eligible for emeritus status. 3. That Senate grant emeritus status to such persons who are eligible under the preceding paragraph and are nominated by the President of the University, the University Librarian, or the Director, Centre for Continuing Education, as appropriate. 4. That the terms of reference of the Tributes Committee be amended to include the above recommendations. Carried During further discussion it was suggested that the reference to University officers in recommendation 1. was too vague and that the positions of those in that category should be clearly listed. Amendment to the amendment Dr. Wisenthal ) That the amendment to the recommendations Dr. Stager ) be amended to read: 1. That at normal retirement age, 65, full-time librarians, directors and programme directors of the Centre for Continuing Education be eligible for emeritus status. 9002. May 20, 1987 Reports of Committees of Senate Ad hoc Committee on Emeritus Status for non-Faculty Amendment to the amendment (continued) 2. That on early retirement such persons who have served at least 10 consecutive years prior to retirement and for whom the sum of their age and years of service total at least 70 points be eligible for emeritus status. 3. That emeritus status be recommended for such persons who are eligible under the preceding paragraph and are nominated by the President of the University, the University Librarian, or the Director, Centre for Continuing Education, as appropriate. 4. That Presidents, Deans and Registrars who are in office at the normal retirement age of 65, be eligible for emeritus status. 5. That the terms of reference of the Tributes Committee be amended to include the above recommendations. It was explained that Chancellors are automatically recommended for emeritus status at the conclusion of their term. The amendment to the amendment was put and car ried. In response to a query concerning a number of librarians who had opted to take a partial work load instead of early retirement, it was confirmed that they would be considered eligible for emeritus status. The motion, as amended, was put and carried. Ad hoc Committee on Grades and Grading Practices Dr. Robitaille, Chairman of the Committee, presented the following report which had been circulated: "This committee was set up following the April 1985 meeting of Senate with a mandate to "investigate alternatives to the present grading system." The committee has considered the two reports of the Senate ad 9003. May 20, 1987 Reports of Committees of Senate Ad hoc Committee on Grades and Grading Practices hoc Committee on Courses that were presented to Senate in March and May of 1984, a report to Senate in March 1985 concerning conversion to a decimal grade-reporting system, and a petition on the matter of deadlines for withdrawals that was presented to Senate in March 1985. In addition, the Committee studied the grading systems presently in use at a number of Canadian universities and a paper describing the results of a major survey of grading systems utilized in post-secondary institutions in Canada and the United States. The Committee on Courses, in the first of its two reports, presented three recommendations to Senate. 1. That the two week nominal drop-add time be lengthened to three weeks in the case of two term courses. 2. That the "N" grade be abolished. Students not writing a final examination or otherwise not completing the requirements of a course in which they remain registered should, where circumstances do not warrant deferred standing, be given a grade of "F". 3. That the Senate ad hoc Committee on Courses be charged with the responsibility of soliciting the views of the Faculties on the inclusion of numerical averages on students' transcripts and making recommendations to Senate on this matter. All three recommendations were adopted at the March 21, 1984 meeting of Senate. The second report of the Committee contained three further recommendations. 4. That sessional averages (for each Winter Session) and cumulative averages (for all courses taken at UBC) be included on students' transcripts, and that these averages be based on unit-weighted marks of all courses attempted, except courses for which no marks are normally given.. 5. That a single cumulative average should cover all of a student's undergraduate studies at UBC, and that a new cumulative average be begun when a student enters a graduate Faculty. 6. That numerical marks be given to all students registered in a course, whether or not a final examination had been written, and that the "DNW" mark should not be used. "These were referred to the Faculties for discussion in the fall of 1984. Responses indicated a generally high level of agreement with the three recommendations although some concern was expressed about the value or validity of a cumulative average, and the possible impact of such averages on a student's record. 9004. May 20, 1987 Reports of Committees of Senate Ad hoc Committee on Grades and Grading Practices (continued) At the October 1984 meeting of Senate, the following recommendation from the Faculty of Arts was considered and referred to the Faculties for discussion. 7. That UBC adopt a decimal system for reporting grades in all courses. At its March 1986 meeting, Senate considered the initial version of the present committee's report and referred it to the Faculties for consideration. By now, virtually all of the Faculties have examined that report and have made recommendations to the committee. On the basis of those recommendations, the committee has revised several of the points contained in its previous report. The committee now wishes to present to Senate the following revised proposal for a grading scheme at UBC. The following is a description of the characteristics of the grading system which the committee proposes be adopted at UBC. 1. Grades for all courses, regardless of unit value, will be based on a percentage system. The minimum and maximum grades for all courses will be 0 and 100, respectively. 2. The system of unit values will be changed to correspond more closely to a semester hours or credit system. Under the new system, a 1.5 unit course will become a 3-credit course; a 3.0 unit course, a 6-credit course; and so on. 3. Transcripts will include a numerical and a letter grade for each course, along with the number of credits awarded for the course. The following categories will be used: Percent Letter-Grade 90-10 0 A+ 85-89 A 8 0-84 A- 76-79 B+ 72-75 B 68-71 B- 6 4-67 C+ 60-63 C 55-59 C- 50-54 D 0-49 F 4. "Degree averages, calculated on the basis of percentage grades, will be reported when a program leading to a degree, diploma, or certificate has been successfully completed. The details of which courses to include in calculating degree averages are to be decided by each Faculty. 9005. May 20, 1987 Reports of Committees of Senate Ad hoc Committee on Grades and Grading Practices (continued) 5. Degree standings, expressed as Class I, II, or Pass, will continue to be used by those Faculties wishing to do so.. 6. In addition to the letter grades listed above, the following standings may also appear on the transcript: EX - exempt. (Excluded from calculation of all averages) This standing is to be used for required courses from which a student is excused (e.g. because an equivalent course was taken elsewhere) J - "adjudicated pass" in that credit is granted and the course need not be repeated although it may not normally qualify as a prerequisite for further work. (The grade assigned by the instructor should be used in calculation of averages.) P - requirements of subject completed satisfactorily, no quality grade assigned, credit granted where applicable. (Excluded from calculation of all averages.) S - supplemental privilege granted. Supplementals are not permitted in the Faculty of Graduate Studies. SD - standing deferred. (Excluded from calculation of all averages.) T - thesis in progress, graduating essay not submitted, course continuing. For undergraduate courses: A standing of "T" may be used only in connection with graduating essays and similar courses approved by the Faculty, or directed studies projects at the 400-level approved by the Dean of the Faculty in which the student is enrolled. A standing of "T" must be replaced by a percentage grade and a letter grade within one calendar year of the end of the term in which the student was first registered in the course; otherwise it will be changed to an "F". For courses in the Faculty of Graduate Studies: A standing of "T" should be restricted to reporting thesis in progress, graduating essay in progress, and to courses in which a requirement is expected to be submitted after the normal cut-off date for the submission of grades but before the end of the academic year. in the case of Spring and Summer courses the deadline would be the end of the Fall term. W - withdrawal. (See paragraphs 8-10) AUD - audit 9006. May 20, 1987 Reports of Committees of Senate Ad hoc Committee on Grades and Grading Practices (continued) AEG - aegrotat standing, indicating that the student is granted credit although unable to complete because of illness. A letter grade should also be recorded, and that grade will be converted to a minimum percentage grade for that category for the calculation of averages. 7. There is no provision for a grade of "Incomplete," and a grade, or a standing where no grade is awarded, must be submitted for each student registered in each course. 8. If a student withdraws from a course within the first two weeks of a course in one term, or within the first three weeks of a course offered over two terms, no record of the registration will appear on the transcript. Students may withdraw from courses in which they are registered at any time up to the end of the sixth week of class for courses which are offered in a single term, and of the twelfth week for courses which span two terms. Withdrawals will be noted on the transcript by a standing of "W". Such standings will not be included in computing averages. Fee refunds for withdrawals will be calculated on a pro-rata basis. Auditors may withdraw without prejudice at any time; in the case of withdrawal, the record of registration will be removed from the transcript. 9. Students may withdraw from courses outside the limits described in paragraph 10 only with the permission of the Dean of the Faculty in which they are registered. in such cases, the instructor should be informed. Such withdrawals will be recorded as "W" on the student's transcript. 10. Faculties may, at their discretion, limit the number of "W" standings permitted to a student. Any withdrawals in excess of that limit that would normally produce a standing of "W" will result in assignment of an "F" for the course or courses involved. Normally, a student may not withdraw from a course more than once. The Committee recommends: i) that the new grading system be approved ii) that the revised grading system be implemented at the same time as the new Student Information System iii) that the ad hoc Committee on Grades and Grading Practices be discharged. " 9007. May 20, 1987 Reports of Committees of Senate Ad hoc Committee on Grades and Grading Practices (continued) In speaking briefly to the report, Dr. Robitaille explained that the first version of the report had been presented to Senate in March 1986 and had then been referred to the various Faculties for consideration and response; the responses to be considered by the Committee prior to reporting back to Senate. The reactions from the various Faculties had indicated overall support for the recommendations. In revising the report the Committee decided to do away entirely with the grade-point scheme so that the proposed grading scheme calls for a percent score and corresponding letter grades. in recommendation 3. the number of letter grade categories has been increased; several standings have been added to point number 6, and a few of the ones that were there have been revised. In conclusion, Dr. Robitaille informed Senate that if the report were approved points 6 to 10 could be implemented as of September 1988 but that the actual introduction of the percent and letter grade system would have to await the introduction of the new student information system scheduled for 1990-91. Dr. Robitaille ) That the report be adopted, and that the Dean Will ) ad hoc Committee on Grades and Grading Practices be discharged. Dean Webber stated that he did not see any advantage to incorporating letter grades since the letter grade proposal did not add any information in terms of informing students about their performance or in informing other interested parties about the performance of the student. He also stated that the proposal would pose problems in the Faculty of Medicine since many courses offered require a 60% pass mark, therefore a C-, which appears to be a passing grade, would not be a pass in those courses requiring 60%. 9008. May 20, 1987 Reports of Committees of Senate Ad hoc Committee on Grades and Grading Practices (continued) In amendment: Dean Webber ) That the letter grades be deleted Dr. Sobrino ) Dr. Robitaille stated that it was important for other institutions to understand the UBC grading system and to be able to interpret what UBC grades mean; particularly since in most Canadian universities "A" is a letter for a grade of 80 where in many U.S. universities the grade would have to be over 90 to qualify for an "A". Dr. Robitaille also pointed out that when the report was referred to the Faculties this particular point about percent and letter grades was favoured by a 9-1 margin. The amendment was lost. In amendment: Dr. Cherry ) That the "W" notation be introduced in Dr. Gilbert ) the 1987-88 Academic Year. Carried It was suggested that item 10. should be brought to the attention of the Senate Committee on Student Awards with respect to the effect the implementation of this practice would have in that students could be taking advantage of student loans when they were no longer full-time students. The motion, as amended, was put and carried. Faculty of Dentistry Faculty Membership The following proposal to amend the Faculty Membership guidelines had been circulated: 9009. May 20, 1987 Faculty of Dentistry Faculty Membership (continued) "Under the heading, Voting Members: (f) (ii) amended to read: (additional statement underlined) "Instructors (I and II), Assistant Professors, Associate Professors and Professors who, in the opinion of the Faculty, provide a significant amount of teaching to students registered in the Faculty, and whose salaries for such teaching are charged to the Faculty budget." A redefinition is necessary to cover those members of faculty who are on a reduced workload. (g) Student representatives with voting privileges - _7 - amended to read: "D.U.S. President, Vice-President and Academic Representative, plus one academic representative from each of the four dental classes." The reduction from 9 to 7 student representatives and the deletion of the last statement, "and one from each of the two dental hygiene classes . . .", are the result of the discontinuance of the Dental Hygiene program." Dean Beagrie ) That the amendment to the Faculty Dr. Donaldson ) of Dentistry Faculty Membership Guidelines be approved. Car ri ed Report from Vancouver School of Theology The annual report to Senate from the Vancouver School of Theology had been circulated for information. On behalf of the Vancouver School of Theology, Dr. Anderson expressed thanks and appreciation to the Senate representatives on the Vancouver School of Theology Senate, Dr. D. R. Birch and Dr. A. J. Elder. 9010. May 20, 1987 Other business Senate Members Dr. Strangway expressed thanks and appreciation to those members attending their last meeting. He noted that Dr. Finnegan had been a member of Senate for fifteen years and that Mrs. E. D. Fulton had been a member for nine years. Acting Registrar Dean Beagrie asked Senate to join him in expressing thanks and appreciation to Mr. Alan McMillan for the work done as Acting Registrar during the last eight months. Report of the Tributes Committee (in camera) Honorary Degree Dr. Dennison reminded Senate that a special ceremony will be held in the fall at which the new Chancellor will be installed and, at the same time, the retiring Chancellor, Robert Wyman, will receive an honorary degree. He stated that in response to many letters of nomination, the Tributes Committee recommended that Mr. Rick Hansen, a graduate of this University, and an inspiration to all Canadians be granted an honorary degree. Dr. Dennison ) That Mr. Rick Hansen be granted an Dean Webber ) honorary degree. Car ri ed The meeting adjourned at 10.20 p.m The next regular meeting of Senate will be held on Wednesday, September 16, 1987. Secretary Confirmed, Chairman 9011.

(continued) preparation for graduate study and research in Nutrition, and for students who plan to proceed to an area of Agricultural or Health Sciences in which a background in nutrition would be of value. All students take required courses in both animal (comparative) and human nutrition, but each student may select additional courses to emphasize one area or the other. Students registered in this program must satisfy all requirements, including Admission requirements, of the Faculty of Science, as described on pages 000-000 of the calendar. Before registering for each of the Second, Third and Fourth years of this program, every student must obtain formal program approval from an adviser in either the School of Family and Nutritional Sciences or the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences.

May 20, 1987 APPENDIX 'B' Course and curriculum proposals FACULTY OF ARTS (continued) Music New Program - Major in Guitar Calendar entry: Major in Guitar All students planning to major in guitar in the Bachelor of Music program are required to audition during registration week. Transfer students from other colleges and universities will audition at the same time. Students currently registered in guitar performance will be examined each Spring before the end of Term. The results of these auditions and examinations will determine whether a student will be admitted to the performance program, will be allowed to transfer credits in guitar performance from other universities and colleges, or will be permitted to continue in the program. All students in the performance major are on probation during their first two years regardless of entrance level and, unless accepted standards are met each year, will be required to withdraw from the program. In general, the entrance level corresponds to the Toronto or Western Board Grade X, and there must also be the probability of significant development during th years of study at the University. The possession of a diploma is not a guarantee of acceptance. Students accepted as first-year guitar majors will be expected to attain annual levels corresponding approximately to those given below. The works cited are given as guides to the levels of technical and musical achievement to be attained and do not indicate specific repertoire requirements. Entrance auditions and term examinations will include sight reading and quick study in addition to the performance of prepared repertoire. Third-year students will be required to study French and Italian lute tablature systems (in their private lessons). Fourth-year students will be expected to transcribe a work from the repertoire of another instrument (e.g., piano, violin). End of First Year.
