OTHER ITEMS

2.4.1 ?

Recommendations Arising from the EIUDP Review

• SCIA was referred to the eleven recommendations contained in the EIUDP Review

Report, for consideration and advice to Senate. SCIA's discussions were focused on a

paper prepared by J Knockaert, and included a meeting with the review team

members for clarification of some recommendations.

• As a result of the recommendations, SCIA plans to re-structure and amend the current

University Policy on International Activities

(GP23), and submit this to Senate

along with its response to the review team's recommendations.

• At its September meeting, SCIA passed a motion to submit to Senate the document

"SCIA's response to the recommendations of the Ad Hoc Senate Committee to

Review the Eastern Indonesia Universities Development Project". SCIA also passed

a motion to submit to SCIA proposed amendments to the University Policy on

International Activities. These amendments resulted from SCIA's response to the Ad

Hoc Committee's EIUDP Review Report, as well as the change in reporting

relationship for SFU's international activities.

• These documents were approved by Senate at its November

meeting, and by the

Board of Governors at its November 22 meeting. The revised University Policy on

International Activities can be found on the following web page:

http://www.sfu.ca/policies/general/gi)23.htm

[May, June, Sept, Nov]

2.4.2 ?

Human Rights Situations in Other Countries

• SCIA considered the questions of when and how to consult with the university

community when considering an initiative in a country where human rights may be an

issue. SCIA agreed that the university should not have a "black list" of countries, but

rather should consider each proposal/initiative on a case-by-case basis. In order to

educate itself about specific countries, SCIA agreed that it would review human rights

and others assessments prepared by credible organizations, invite on-campus experts

for their views, and seek out other, off-campus sources when considered necessary

and appropriate.

[June, Oct]

2.4.3 ?

Guidelines for Submission and Approval of Proposals for

New International Activities

received by Senate for information at its November

meeting.

• The Guidelines can be found on the following web page:

• At the September SCIA meeting, it was announced that Nello Angerilli had been

appointed Acting Executive Director, "SFU International" as of September 17, with a

mandate to review recommendations of the report and determine future directions for

SFU International. C Jones will continue to work in this area as Senior Advisor until

August 2002. J Knockaert (former Director, Office of International Cooperation, and

Chair of SCIA) resigned from SFU in mid-August to work full time at CIDA's

Vancouver office.

President.

Jordan: Hashemite University

• Introduced by: J Driver, Dean, Graduate Studies

• Presented to SCIA for information only, J Drive noted that Hashemite University

visited SFU in early September to discuss the placement of funded PhD students.

Education may take a cohort, but no other departments are willing to do so. Students

receive funding for 3 years, which is attractive, but there's not enough information to

determine the quality of candidates. Individual students from Jordan have been

encouraged to contact relevant SFU departments and to apply in the same way as
