REPORT OF CHAIRMAN 

The Chairman acknowledged receipt of a question from D. Hoiweg 

in connection with the letter received from the Minister of 

Education (S.77-76). B. Holweg expressed his concern that the 

Minister's letter did not address the Senate motion of April 9, 

1977, and that the figures mentioned in the letter were mis- 

leading and did not truly represent the financial plight of 

universities. The Chairman pointed out that the difference 

in opinion is due to the fact that the University does not 

consider the payment made prior to March 31, 1977, to be part 

of this year's budget, while the government does include the 

payment in its calculation. However, the Chairman concurred 

with the Minister's statement that grants given to the universi- 

ties were larger than those given to other ministries. She 

noted that a statement will be included as part of the 1978/79 

fiscal year budget submission to be presented to the Universities 

Council and then to the government. 

A question was submitted by T. Glas and B. Palmer requesting 

clarification about the relationship between the University 

Review Committee and SCAP/SCUB. It was pointed out that the 

University Review Committee has a much broader scope than 

SCAP/SCUB. The Review Committee will be concerned with the 

overall nature of the University and is not simply a budget 

review committee as it is concerned with such areas as the 

structure of the university year, the tutorial system, faculty 

workload relative to other universities, impact on class size 

and curriculum changes, review of academic and support functions, 

etc. . . SCUB on the other hand, is concerned with making recom- 

mendations to the President on the operating and capital budgets. 

It is hoped that any over-lap that may exist between the Review 

Committee and SCUB will be resolved by the fact that a member 

of SCUB is on the Review Committee. It was further indicated 

that the Review Committee will be working intensively through 

the Fall Semester with the hope that recommendations will be 

forthcoming by mid-December. The Committee will be meeting 

with departments and also will be holding some public meetings. 

S.M. 4/7/77 

-3-

Recommendations by the University Review Committee involving 

academic matters will be presented to Senate via SCAP. It is 

not foreseen that the University Review Committee will continue 

beyond one semester; whereas SCAP/SCUB are continuing committees. 

J. Wheatley suggested that the next distribution of the document 

containing Senate and related committees include the schedule 

of meetings for those committees that meet on regular basis. 

He also suggested that a schedule of meetings be provided at 

the next Senate meeting. 

5. REPORTS OF COMMITTEES 

1) Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies 

a) Paper S.77-77 - Item IV,2(d) of Guidelines for the 

Istablishinent of Certificate and Diploma Programs 

Moved by D. Birch, seconded by J. Blaney, 

"That Senate approve Item IV,2. (d) of Guidelines 

for the Establishment of Certificate and Diploma 

Programs, as set forth in S.77-77." 

(Note: All of the guidelines in the attached paper were 

approved earlier by SCAP, SCUS and Senate, with the exception 

of Item IV,2. (d) which was held in abeyance for further 

development and discussion. That item has been approved by 

SCAP and SCUS and is recommended to Senate for approval.) 

Amendment moved by A. Kazepides, seconded by D. Birch, 

"That Item 2(d), page 2 be amended from 'Semester 

hour credits applied to one diploma cannot be applied 

to another Simon Fraser University certificate or 

diploma or degree, and vice versa.' to read 'Semester 

hour credits applied to one diploma cannot be applied 

to another Simon Fraser University certificate or 

diploma or degree.'". 

After clarification of the intent of the item, the mover 

agreed to withdraw the amendment. 

Responding to a question on why the programs are not 

considered graduate degrees, J. Wheatley advised that the 

programs do not fulfil the normal criteria for graduate 

programs and hence should be governed by undergraduate 

regulations. 

J. Blaney identified that a diploma program is intended 

to provide an academic option to a graduate degree. 

S.M. 4/7/77 

-4-

In response to an enquiry by A. Curzon, it was confirmed 

that specific certificate and diploma programs would require 

the approval of Senate. Candidates completing the programs 

would also require the approval of Senate. 

Question was called and a vote taken. 

MOTION CARRIED. 

b) Paper S.77-78 - Proposal for the-Extended Studies 

Diploma and Program Operations 

Moved by D. Birch, seconded by J. Blaney, 

"That Senate approve and recommend approval to the 

Board of Governors the Extended Studies Diploma 

Program, with requirements as set forth on 

p.

6

and program operations on 

p.

9-11 of S.77-78." 

(The extended Studies Diploma Program proposal has been 

reviewed and approved by the Senate Committee on Continuing 

Studies, the Senate Committee on Academic Planning and the 

Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies. It was forwarded 

to faculties for comment and again considered by SCUS with 

development of program operations as noted in the paper 

following discussions with the pertinent bodies. Approval 

is now recommended. Information regarding Models of 

Professional Development Degree Programs is available in 

the Office of the Registrar.) 

J. D'Auria expressed his concern that students with G.P.A. 

of 2.0 would be eligible to enrol in graduate courses. J. 

Wheatley explained that' the Departmental Graduate Program 

Committee has the right to exclude students from taking 

graduate courses. 

Amendment moved by A. Kazepides, seconded by M. Webb, 

"That item (a)(2) on page 6 'normally 3 years since 

completion of the bachelor's degree' be deleted." 

It was identified during discussion of the amendment that 

the intent of the diploma program was to provide opportunity 

for up-dating academic and quasi professional qualifications. 

A. Kazepides considered the regulation too restrictive sug- 

gesting that students should have the opportunity to continue 

their education according to their individual needs. 

Question was called and a vote taken. 

AMENDMENT CARRIED. 

It was agreed that on page 6, under the Note, the wording 

"the Department Graduate Programme Committee" to be changed 

to "the Departmental Graduate Studies Committee". 

S.M. 4/7/77 

-5-- 

Amendment moved by J. Munro, seconded by T. Glas, 

"That Item 2, paragraph 2 on page 10, 'It is 

suggested that either the faculty adviser of the 

Academic Advice Centre or the Chairman of the 

faculty undergraduate curriculum committee be 

considered as a suitable person for this position, 

or some other person named either by the Dean or at 

his request by the Chairman of the faculty under- 

graduate curriculum committee likely from the 

membership of that committee.' be deleted." 

J. Munro stated that it would be more advantageous to 

establish a condition enabling the appointment of an 

adviser to be of a continuing nature. 

Question was called and a vote taken. 

AMENDMENT CARRIED. 

B. Palmer expressed his concern that the designated faculty 

adviser appears to be assigned too much authority and that 

the adviser's relationship to the Extended Studies Diploma 

. ?

Committee was not adequately identified. 

Moved by B. Palmer, seconded by A. Dawson, 

"That Paper S.77-78 be referred back to the Senate 

Committee on Continuing Studies for the development 

of an appeal mechanism and for clarification of the 

role of the faculty adviser." 

During the discussion that followed it was emphasized that 

the intent was not that the faculty adviser would, be the 

final authority but that a collaborative relationship would 

exist between the adviser and the committee and that the 

final authority would rest with the committee. It was 

identified that the calendar description contained in the 

proposal did not adequately describe this relationship. 

It was agreed that it would be inappropriate to attempt to 

revise the calendar entry on the floor of Senate. J. 

Wheatley moved an amendment that the original motion include 

the words "approval in principle". A point of order was 

raised by A. Dawson. The amendment was ruled out of order 

on the basis that another amendment was under discussion 

by Senate. 

In response to a question from J. Webster, J. Blaney 

advised that a minor delay would not jeopardize the 

introduction of specific diploma programs. 

S.M. 4/7/77

D. Birch pointed out that the proper body to refer paper 

S.77-78 to is the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies. 

The mover of the motion agreed with the suggestion and the 

motion was amended accordingly.

MOTION TO REFER CARRIED. 

c) Paper S.77-79 - Proposed Certificate Program in 

Health and Fitness Studies 

Moved by D. Birch, seconded by T. Calvert, 

"That Senate approve, and recommend approval to 

the Board of Governors, the Certificate Program 

in Health and Fitness Studies as set forth in 

S.77-79." 

(Note: This program was developed in conjunction with 

the Department of Kinesiology and has been approved by 

the Senate Committee on Continuing Studies, SCAP and SCUS, 

and is recommended to Senate for approval.) 

It was agreed that on page 4, under Program Requirements, 

it should Include a statement to read that "the minimum 

G.P.A. is 2.0." 

A. Kazepides questioned the objectives of the proposed 

program and the appropriateness of offering it at the 

university level. 

Professors E. Banister and J. Dickinson were invited to 

join the assembly to respond to questions. 

T. Calvert and E. Banister provided details on the program 

identifying the academic merits inherent in it. 

E. Banister pointed out that non-credit seminars are 

planned to be held with material related to the courses 

which would provide extra focus and tie in with the 

credit courses. 

Question was called and a vote taken. 

MOTION CARRIED. 

d) Paper S.77-80 - Centre for the Arts - Cour 

se

Proposals - FPA.102-3, 103-3, 107-3, 108-, 

113-6, 121-3 

S.M. 4/7/77 

-7-

Moved by D. Birch, seconded by T. Calvert, 

"That Senate approve and recommend approval to 

the Board of Governors, as set forth in S.77-80, 

the following courses: 

FPA.102-3 Music in History I 

FPA.103-3 Music in History II 

FPA.107-3 Introduction to Art History - The Seventeenth 

Century 

FPA.108-3 Introduction to Art History - The Eighteenth 

Century 

FPA.113-6 The Arts in Context: European Romanticism 

FPA.121-3 Contemporary Dance Fundamentals." 

(It is noted that FPA.102 replaces G.S.102, FPA.103 replaces 

G.S.103, FPA.107 and FPA.108 will lead to the discontinuance 

of GS.200 and G.S.lOO. FPA.113 and FPA.121 are new. 

?

SCUS 

approved waiver of the time lag requirement in order that the 

latter two courses may be first offered in the Spring Semester 

78-1. 

It was identified that the new courses continue in keeping 

with the earlier decisions on the establishment of Fine and 

Performing Arts and that these proposals include a transfer 

of general electives in the General Studies courses providing 

support for the approved minors but without intent of leading 

to a Minor in Music.) 

Professor E. Alderson was invited to join the assembly to 

• ? 

respond to questions. 

D.

Birch noted that a schematic presentation as requested 

by Senate at an earlier meeting was attached to the document. 

E.

Alderson responded to questions regarding availability 

of faculty to offer the proposed courses. He indicated that 

•

?

regular members of faculty were available and that many of 

these courses will be taught by sessional lecturers employed 

through Continuing Studies. 

In response to a question raised by B. Palmer regarding the 

receipt of credit for both G.S.200 and its substitute FPA.107, 

E. Alderson indicated that there is no content overlap, hence 

no reason to prevent students from taking both courses for 

credit. 

Question was called and a vote taken. 

MOTION CARRIED.

e) Paper S.77-81 - Faculty of Interdisciplinary 

Studies Proposed Course - G.S. 304-5-Richard 

Wagner: The Ring of the Nibelung 

Moved by D. Birch, seconded by T. Calvert, 

"That Senate approve and recommend approval to 

the Board of Governors, as set forth in S.77-81, 

the new course G.S.304-5 - Richard Wagner: The 

Ring of the Nibelung." 

(This course was approved by the Faculty of Interdisciplinary 

Studies and considered by SCUS at two meetings, with attention 

being given to the prerequisities for the course, the credit 

hours assigned and the nature of procedures in presenting 

the course to students, with answers to their enquiries 

satisfactory to the committee. The course has been success- 

fully presented earlier on a non-credit basis. SCUS approved 

waiver of the time requirement to permit offering of this 

course from 78-1). 

Professor A. Aberbach was invited to join the assembly to 

respond to questions. 

A.

Curzon noted that the prerequisite for the course did 

not require a background in German. A. Aberbach indicated 

that the course is not based on the need to know German and 

that texts are available in both German and English. 

C.

Kemp questioned the appropriateness of 5 credits for the 

course. D. Birch pointed out that SCUS in examining the 

question of credit hours attempts to satisfy itself that the 

academic demands of the course are appropriate to the scale 

of credit being offered rather than the contact hours. 

B.

Wilson stated his concern that a single faculty member 

will be offering the course. 

Amendment moved by B. Wilson, seconded by A. Kazepides, 

"That course G.S.304-5 be approved for one year 

only." 

Speaking in opposition to the amendment, T. Calvert noted 

that many courses were tied to one faculty member and 

objected to G.S.304-5 being singled out for unique action. 

Question was called and a vote taken.

Moved by E. Wells, seconded by C. Kemp, 

"That Paper S.77-81 be referred back to SCUS for 

rediscussion of the credit hours and perhaps a 

recommendation to change assigned credit from 5 

to 3." 

Question was called and a vote taken. 

MOTION TO REFER FAILED. 

J. D'Auria raised a question with regard to the stipend 

attached to the course and commented that such arrangements 

may take away time usually used for research. He suggested 

that perhaps the University Review Committee should look 

at this matter. 

J. Wbster noted that the prerequisite for the course did 

not require any background in music. A. Aberbach explained 

that the musical aspect of the course is relatively a minor 

aspect. 

Question was called and a vote taken.

f) Paper S.77-82 - Proposed Physical Education Sequence 

in Kinesiology - New Courses KIN.343-3, 367-3, 370-3, 

375-3, 467-3, 470-2, 471-2; Discontinuance of KIN.366-3, 

466-3. 

Moved by D. Birch, seconded by T. Calvert, 

"That Senate approve and recommend approval to 

the Board of Governors, as set forth in S.77-82, 

the following new courses: 

KIN.343-3 Fitness Appraisal and Guidance 

KIN.367-3 Psychology of Motor Performance and Skill 

Acquisition 

KIN.370-3 Biomechanics in Motor Learning 

KIN.375-3 Physiological and Developmental Basis of 

Motor Performance 

KIN.467-3 The Components of Skilled Performance 

KIN.470-2 Motor Activities Laboratory I 

KIN.471-2 Motor Activities Laboratory II 

and the discontinuance of KIN.366-3 and KIN.466-3." 

S.M. 4/7/77 

- 10 - 

(Consideration has been given over some time to the 

development of an appropriate sequence of courses in the 

Department of Kinesiology as preparation for individuals 

who wish to undertake the Professional Development Program 

in Education with better preparation for the teaching of 

physical education. Intensive discussions have been held 

between the Department of Kinesiology and the Faculty of 

Education. Proposals were considered by the Senate Committee 

on Academic Planning with referral back to the Faculty of 

Interdisciplinary Studies for further consideration as the 

proposal was not considered necessarily to be a new program. 

Following further discussions and adjustments to the earlier 

proposals the proposed new courses and sequences of courses 

for use toward the Minor in Kinesiology were reviewed and 

approved by SCUS. 

Further consideration is being given to the place of a 

number of these courses relative to the Kinesiology Major. 

It is noted that KIN.366 and 466 will be discontinued only 

if there is approval of KIN.367 and 467. KIN.467 is new 

but is not a part of the sequence proposed. SCUS approved 

waiver of the time requirement to permit offering of these 

courses as from 78-1). 

Professor E. Banister and J. Dickinson were invited again 

to join the assembly to respond to questions. 

T. Calvert pointed out that the proposed physical education 

sequence did not constitute new courses but the restructuring 

of existing courses. The only change in resources is the 

addition of a lab for which funding would be required. 

A. Curzon remarked that the courses carry financial impli- 

cations and suggested that it would be more appropriate 

that the proposal be considered a new program to be forwarded 

to the Universities Council for consideration. 

D. Birch and T. Calvert considered referral to the Universities 

Council inappropriate as existing courses were being utilized 

to form the new program. 

A. Kàzepides and A. Dawson expressed their concerns that 

although it is stated that intensive discussions had been 

held between the Department of Kinesiology and the Faculty 

of Education this did not appear to be the situation. D. 

Birch noted that at both SCUS and SCAP meetings assurances 

were given that intensive consultation had taken place. 

R. Gehlbach questioned whether the new courses, if passed, 

would imply a change in the prerequisite for the specific 

minor in physical education. D. Birch responded that the 

specific minor would not be affected.

D. Birch commented that the appropriate referral would 

be to the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies. The 

above motion was then amended with the approval of the 

mover to read: 

"That Paper S.77-82 be referred back to the 

Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies to

A. Cunningham asked if there is any significant information 

on book losses since the installation of the new securtty 

system. D. Baird responded that it i's necessary for such 

a system to be in operation for approximately a year before 

an inventory can be made. However, he commented, that 

reports from other institutions with similar securfty 

systems indicate that losses have been very minimal.

OTHER BUSINESS 

1) Paper S.77-89 - Tuition Fee Structure 

P. Jewett indicated that there has been some concern about 

the academic impact of the recently approved fee structure 

and that this concern has taken the form of a motion from 

the Faculty of Science. 

Moved by J. Webster, seconded by A. Curzon, 

"That Senate ask the Board of Governors to reconsider 

the recently approved fee structure since its detailed 

structure has negative academic implications, and 

•

? consider an amendment to the effect, that students 

enrolled in courses totalling more than 15 semester 

hours in any one semester be charged no more than 

those enrolled in 15 semester hours."

'

S.M. 4/7/77 

- 14 - 

.

J. Webster explained that the above motion rose out of 

the Faculty of Science meeting in May - too late for the 

June meeting of Senate. Several members of the Faculty 

of Science indicated their concern that there are detrimental 

academic implications to the new fee structure and that the 

Board of Governors may not have been aware of these implica- 

tions. 

J. Munrô stated that it is very difficult to change any 

price system without introducing unexpected consequences. 

D. Birch considered that the new fee structure would inhibit 

the misuse of registering and dropping of courses which 

results in inappropriate and inefficient utilization of 

University resources. 

J. D'Auria argued that if the University wishes to discourage 

capricious actions concerning the dropping of courses, it 

should change the rebate scheme. He believed that the new 

fee structure discourages the very qualified and prepared 

students from taking larger course loads. D. Birch stated 

that with a 15 hours cap changing the rebate schedule would 

be ineffective. 

K.

Okuda suggested postponing taking action suggesting that 

a waiting period of one year should be undertaken in order 

to evaluate the impact of the new fee structure in terms 

of actual student performance. 

L.

Severy reminded Senate that the reason fees were increased 

was to increase revenue. She considered that since students 

will not be able to afford taking a large number of courses 

during a given semester, the University will not increase 

revenue defeating the purpose of the new fee structure. 

In addition to restricting students in their selection of 

general interest courses, B. Palmer believed that the 

University may incur more cost because students would be on 

campus an extra semester. 

Question was called and a vote taken. 

MOTION CARRIED. 

P. Jewett commented that, if the Board of Governors should 

revise the new fee schedule, it would be impossible to 

implement a change for Fall 1977. She considered that it 

would be impractical to implement a change in the middle 

of an 'academic year suggesting it may not be possible to 

make a change 'effective until September 1979. She noted, 

however,' that final decision rests with the Board of 

?

is
