Minutes of the previous meeting Dean Larkin ) That the minutes of the Fifth regular meeting Dean Gardner ) of Senate for the Session 1976-77, having been circulated be taken as read and adopted. Carried 6750. Wednesday, February 16, 1977. Business arising from the Minutes Teaching Assistants Notice of motion had been given at the previous meeting. Mr. Funt ) That Senate establish an ad hoc committee to Dr. McGregor ) investigate the present practice of giving teaching assistants the full responsibility for the teaching of certain courses or section of courses. Mr. Funt stated that in some instances teaching assistants were being used as full-time instructors in that they did the teaching and the marking with little or no supervision. He felt that teaching assistants should not be used as full-time instructors without some safeguards being instituted to ensure that the quality of teaching would not be affected and recommended that a committee be established to investigate the matter. Dean Larkin reminded Senate that in 1973, after an extensive study, the Faculty of Graduate Studies issued a policy statement concerning teaching assistants. At that time it had been clearly stated that teaching assistants should not be assigned the full responsibility for teaching a graduate or upper year undergraduate course. Dean Larkin suggested that the policy statement be made available to members of the proposed committee. Following further discussion the motion was put and carried.

Carried Committee on Regent College Affiliation A request by Regent College for affiliation with the University had been approved by Senate in November 1973 for an initial period of three years. A committee to review the affiliation had been established in November 1976. Mrs. Field presented the report. The committee had considered the report of the previous committee on the affiliation of Regent College and had consulted the Board of Governors of Regent College. The committee used information provided by Regent College to assess 6754. Wednesday, February 16, 1977. Reports of Committees of Senate Committee on Regent College Affiliation (continued) the request for affiliation in light of the nine criteria which Senate adopted in 1958. (See Appendix 'C') It was the opinion of the committee that Regent College continued to meet criteria 2, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9. It was stated in the report that when the list of criteria was developed in 1958 the only experience of requests for affiliation of theological colleges came from denominational colleges whose prime concern was to prepare candidates for ordination. Criterion 1 of the Senate accordingly required that a college seeking affiliation "should be in good standing with respect to a recognized constituency of churches" . The committee did not believe that the criterion was appropriate to Regent College which from the outset had been transdenominational and had been concerned with theological education for lay persons and specifically did not seek to prepare candidates for ordination. It was stated that Regent College attracted students from many denominations and received financial support primarily from individual contributors. It was also stated that Criterion 3 was satisfied as the college now had nine full-time qualified faculty members. Criterion 5, however, could not be met. Regent College had aimed for high academic standards but the Association of Theological Schools had not evaluated the quality of its academic program because the college did not prepare candidates for ordination which was one of the requirements for accreditation by the Association. The committee unanimously recommended that (1) the request of Regent College for continued affiliation with the University be granted; and (2) the 6755. Wednesday, February 16, 1977. Reports of Committees of Senate Committee on Regent College Affiliation (continued) affiliation of theological colleges with a representative on the Senate of the University be subject to review every five years. Recommendation 1 Mrs. Field ) That the request of Regent College for Dr. Clark ) continued affiliation with the University be granted. Dr. Pearse stated that since the institution did not meet all the criteria for affiliation the report should be tabled until the criteria could be reviewed by a Senate committee. Dr. Pearse ) That the report be tabled until a committee Mrs. Angus ) of Senate can be struck to review the criteria for affiliation with the University. Lost Following further discussion the motion was put and carried. Recommendation 2 Mrs. Field ) That the affiliation of theological colleges with Dr. Clark ) a representative on the Senate of the University be subject to review every five years. It was suggested that the criteria for affiliation should be reviewed before a decision was made on the question of five-year reviews. Dr. Finnegan ) That a committee be established to examine the Dr. Pearse ) criteria for the affiliation of theological colleges and to consider the desirability of having reviews of affiliations every five years. The motion to refer Recommendation 2 to a new committee which would also examine the existing criteria was put and carried. 6756. Wednesday, February 16, 1977. Reports of Committees of Senate (continued) Admissions Committee Definition of Auditors The following statement defining "Auditors" had been circulated:- "An auditor is defined as a student registered in a credit course whose participation is limited to that deemed appropriate by the instructor but who, in general, is expected to maintain the same schedule of readings as regular students although not expected to write examinations. An auditor may not transfer to the category of regular student during the term except upon the recommendation of the Dean of the Faculty concerned. Application for admission as an auditor must parallel the procedures for the application of regular students. The application for admission must be accompanied by a written explanation of the reason that status as an auditor is being sought. Where an applicant has not met formal requirements for admission to the University, or to the course involved, a full statement of previous relevant activities must be submitted with the application in order that consideration can be given for special admission in the category "mature". Once formal application has been made the decision on acceptance or otherwise will be made by the Dean of the Faculty concerned or his delegate. The fees for auditors will be the same as those for regular students. There will be a statement of "audit" on the permanent academic record for any course taken by a student as an auditor. Students taking a combination of credit and audit courses will be subject to restrictions on maximum work load imposed by the Faculties as interpreted by Faculty advisers." Dr. Finnegan ) That the statement defining "Auditors" be Rev. Burns ) approved. Carried B.C. College/University Transfer Guidelines Dr. Finnegan explained that the Admissions Committee had examined proposals from the B.C. Post-Secondary Coordinating Committee concerning 6757. Wednesday, February 16, 1977. Reports of Committees of Senate Admissions Committee B.C. College/University Transfer Guidelines (continued) College/University transfer guidelines. The Admissions Committee had made some minor amendments and recommended adoption of the following guidelines: - 1. Discussions concerning transfer of credit for individual courses or programs of study at public colleges and universities in British Columbia should, in general, be initiated with the relevant Articulation Committees, so that questions of suitability of course content, adequacy of supporting facilities and related matters, may be discussed at an early stage of negotiations between institutions. To this end both colleges and universities should be prepared to provide one another with the following information: course name, course number, hours per week (lecture, lab, seminar), objective of course, outline of topics covered, texts and required readings: and, although subject to change without notice, the initial proposals for method of instruction, method of evaluation, and the names and qualifications of instructors. A standard form might be used by all colleges and universities to exchange this information. 2. The final decision on the awarding of transfer credit rests with the College Council or University Senate concerned. 3. A college or university which denies the transfer of credit requested by another institution shall state the reasons for this refusal. 4. Agreements on transfer credit must be made between specified authorities in the respective institutions, in order that contracts once made would be duly recorded and recognized. 5. Once an agreement has been reached on the conditions of credit transfer of an individual course or program of study, it shall not be abrogated without prior notification to the specified authorities in the institutions affected, and the relevant Articulation Committee. 6. A university planning changes to its curriculum which will affect the requirements for credit transfer must inform the members of the relevant Articulation Committees as soon as possible, at least a year in advance of its implementation, so that other institutions can consider the desirability of alterations to their courses and programs. 6758. Wednesday, February 16, 1977. Reports of Committees of Senate Admissions Committee B.C College/University Transfer Guidelines (continued) 7. The colleges and universities have a responsibility to fulfil the commitments in the course descriptions, and to notify the other institutions in the system should any major change in the course content or level occur. 8. Institutions should consider transfer students on the same basis as their continuing students except that admission of college students to university should normally be subject to a minimum overall average of "C". Colleges must accept the responsibi I ity of ensuring that "C" represents an acceptable level of achievement relative to further studies; maintenance of relative standards should be one of the concerns of the Articulation Committees. Notwithstanding this general provision, a university while recognizing the right of a college student to transfer, may require a higher level of achievement on transfer to match the level required of its own students for admission to programs of study to which access is subject to limitations. Universities must make provision, whilst maintaining confidentiality of the records of individual students, for reporting the progress of transfer students to the colleges from which they had transferred. 9. Transfer arrangements between colleges and universities are assumed to be based on "lower division" (i.e. first and second year) studies. It is recognized that the assignment of "year level" to any individual course might vary at different institutions, and therefore, specific exceptions to this rule might occur under inter-institutional agreements. 10. Transfer of credit would be identified in the following categories by the universities: (i) specific equivalent of a given course (ii) unspecified (elective) credit in a discipline or department (iii) unspecified (elective) credit in a Faculty (iv) unspecified (elective) credit up to 9 semester hours (4.5 units) for academic college courses not identifiable with specific university course offerings but which the colleges evaluate as being appropriate for academic credit on transfer. 11. Provision should be made for a forum (such as the Post-Secondary Coordinating Committee) where questions of transfer of students among institutions in British Columbia can be discussed by representatives of all the public colleges and universities of the Province and where, if necessary, recommendations can be formulated for submission to College Councils and University Senates. 6759. Wednesday, February 16, 1977. Reports of Committees of Senate Admissions Committee B.C. College/University Transfer Guidelines (continued) Procedure Manual 1. Colleges seeking transfer credit for new or revised courses shall make a formal submission to the relevant university official with copies or abridged statements to the chairmen of the pertinent Articulation Committee(s) . However, it would be desirable for all proposals to have had preliminary screening in the Articulation Committees prior to their formal submission. Although submissions may be made at any time, each university will establish a deadline in terms of inclusion of proposals in its published list of college-university course equivalencies. 2. Information should be provided as in Guideline 1. 3. The responsible university official who receives a proposal will be expected to respond as promptly as reasonable to the initiating college with a copy to the office at the university that is responsible for the publication of a list of course equivalencies which shall inform the chairman of the relevant Articulation Committee (s). Dr. Finnegan ) That the British Columbia College/University Dr. Clark ) Credit Transfer Guidelines be adopted. Carried English Placement Test The Admissions Committee recommended that the results of the English Placement Test be required of all students entering First Year in 1977 and in 1978. It was explained that the Ministry of Education was sponsoring, for a two-year trial period, an English Placement Test for students seeking admission to the First Year of university or college. The purpose of the test was to assist the colleges and universities in placing incoming students in FirstYear English courses appropriate to their needs. 6760. Wednesday, February 16, 1977. Reports of Committees of Senate Admissions Committee English Placement Test (continued) Dr. Finnegan ) That students entering First Year in 1977 and Rev. Burns ) in 1978 be required to submit results of the English Placement Test before being permitted to enrol in courses. Rev. Burns, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Standards in English, reminded members that in November 1975 Senate passed a resolution whereby a diagnostic essay test would be administered to students who had not been recommended as being competent in written English. However, funds to administer the test had not been available. The committee therefore felt that since the Ministry of Education was sponsoring an English Placement Test it would be an excellent opportunity to attempt to administer the original policy. In reply to a query it was confirmed that arrangements would be made to administer the test on campus for those students who had not taken it in high school. Following further discussion the motion was put and carried. Report of the Librarian 1975-76 The report had been circulated for information. In speaking briefly to the report Mr. Stuart-Stubbs referred to the effects of inflation and the lack of space as being the main problems of the Library. The Chairman paid tribute to the excellent work of the Librarian and his staff. 6761. Wednesday, February 16, 1977. Faculty of Arts Policy re changing of grades Senate agreed with the recommendation of the Agenda Committee that the following proposal be referred to the Deans of the Faculties before action was taken by Senate: - "In any case in which the grade for a course is changed from that assigned by the instructor, those making the change must inform the instructor, the instructor's Department Head and the instructor's Dean, and that Senate be requested to permit an instructor whose assigned grade has been changed, to appeal that change to the Senate Appeals Committee." Supplemental Composition Examination Dean Will ) That, beginning in the 1977-78academic year, Dr. Clark ) when the new Faculty of Arts supplemental examination regulations go into effect, the supplemental in English 100 be replaced by a supplemental Composition Examination, for students who failed the course only because their writing did not reach the required standard. The motion was put and carried subject to discussion between the Head of the Department of English and the Registrar concerning the implementation of the proposal. Notre Dame University In April 1975 Senate agreed to a request from Notre Dame University of Nelson by authorizing the acceptance on transfer of full credit for courses taken by students at Notre Dame University at the Third Year level during the academic year 1975-76. A further letter had been received from Notre Dame University requesting that the authorization be extended to include students at the Third Year level during the academic year 1976-77 for admission to U.B.C. in 1977-78. 6762. Wednesday, February 16, 1977. Notre Dame University (continued) Dr. McGregor ) In the event that the authority of Notre Dame Dr. Finnegan ) University of Nelson to grant degrees is revoked, that Senate authorize the acceptance on transfer of full credit for courses taken by students at Notre Dame University at the Third Year level during the academic year 1976-77, for admission to U.B.C. in 1977-78, where the courses concerned are applicable to degrees offered here. Carried Elections Senate was informed that a letter had been received from the Student Representative Assembly requesting a recount of the ballots cast in the recent elections for student representatives on the Board of Governors. A further letter had been received from a candidate requesting a recount of the ballots cast in the elections for student representatives on Senate. The Agenda Committee had recommended that both the requests be referred to the Committee on the Implementation of the Universities Act for consideration and recommendation to Senate. Mr. Swainson stated that the proceedings recommended by the Agenda Committee would take a great deal of time. Mr. Swainson ) That Senate authorize that there be recounts Mr. Black ) in both elections. Dr. McGregor explained that the Agenda Committee felt that there had been a misunderstanding in the case of the elections to the Board of Governors in that the students had announced what they thought were the results before the Registrar 6763. Wednesday, February 16, 1977. Elections (continued) had released the official results. In the case of the other request the committee felt that the letter contained a misrepresentation of the facts and therefore it would be better to refer the whole matter to the Committee on the Implementation of the Universities Act. Dr. McGregor ) That the requests for recounts in the recent Mr. Osborne ) elections for student representatives on the Board of Governors and on Senate be referred to the Committee on the Implementation of the Universities Act for consideration and recommendation to Senate. Following further discussion the motion to refer was put and carried. Other business Disruption of lectures Mr. Funt referred to the disruption of lectures given on campus by a visiting professor last fall and to the motion passed by Senate at that time requesting the administration to explore procedures for the prevention of future occurrences. Mr. Funt said he understood that dismissal proceedings were under way for some of the participants in the disruptions and he expressed concern that the motion passed by Senate in November 1976 was being used as justification for such dismissals. Mr. Moore stated that as a member of the committee established to explore procedures for the prevention of disruptions of lectures on campus he would like to assure Senate the the committee was not involved in dismissal activities. 6764. Wednesday, February 16, 1977.

The College should be in good standing with respect to a recognized constituency of churches. 2. It should be the policy of the College to appoint to its regular teaching staff only people who have at least the minimum standard of training normally required in university work, i.e. university education to the Bachelor's degree, followed by further study, preferably leading to another degree, in the field of specialization. For theological colleges this will normally be in the field of theological studies. 3. The School should have at least four full-time properly qualified professors giving their time to the work of post-college theological education, the degree of this service to be calculated independently of the contribution of part-time members of the Faculty. 4. It should be the policy of the College to operate predominantly at a post-university level, i.e. it should normally require university graduation as a prerequisite for admission to its regular courses of training in theology. Though the College would have the right to admit some students to its regular courses in theology without previous university training these should not ordinarily constitute a majority of the student body. In special cases where the student is mature, students may be admitted without University graduation, but Senior Matriculation should be required as a minimum. 5. The courses of training given in theology should be designed to be of a standard which would be acceptable in the American Association of Theological Schools, though without any obligation on the College to become a member of this Association. 6. The College should have a sufficient degree of separateness and independence from any other institutions: (a) to identify its assets and its expenditures; (b) to mark its specific functions as theological college; (c) to give it a governing body of its own. 7. It should have authority from the Government of the Province of British Columbia to grant degrees in theology. 8. It should be the policy of the College to maintain library resources adequate to the courses which it offers. 9. The College should be able to present evidence of its ability to conduct a strong educational program, and of having sufficient stability and permanence to maintain it."""@en ; edm:hasType "Periodicals"@en ; dcterms:spatial "Vancouver (B.C.)"@en ; dcterms:identifier "UBC_Senate_Minutes_1977_02_16"@en ; edm:isShownAt "10.14288/1.0115650"@en ; dcterms:language "English"@en ; edm:provider "Vancouver : University of British Columbia Library"@en ; dcterms:publisher "[Vancouver : University of British Columbia Senate]"@en ; dcterms:rights "Images provided for research and reference use only.
