General
SAB met on 2 June 2000 with some members of SCUS to discuss the proposed revised
procedures for handling withdrawal
requests.
Procedure
Each appeal is first screened to determine whether special circumstances are present. All
appeals are first heard in-camera (written form only - Stage 1) and some are resolved at
that stage. If the SAB is unable to give a positive judgment at Stage 1, and if the student
has requested an in-person hearing, the case is decided at a hearing at which the student or
a representative is able to present evidence and answer questions (Stage 2). Most hearings
last about 20 - 30 minutes.
.
This process resulted in the following action in 2000:

Senate Committee on University Priorities
Memorandum
TO: Senate
RE:
Centre détudes francophones
Quebec-Pacifique
FROM:
John Waterhouse,
Vice President, Aca
DATE: 15 March 2001
C
Attached is a proposal from Dr. John Pierce, Dean of Arts for the establishment of a
Centre d'études francophones Quebec-Pacifique as a Schedule A Centre.
The Senate Committee on University Priorities reviewed the proposal at its
March 7, 2001 meeting. The proposal was unanimously approved on the condition
that assurances be provided that university resources will not be used to develop the
Centre and that the Centre will not solicit funding for collections that would more
appropriately be located in the library.
As indicated in the attached correspondence from Guy Poirier, these assurances
have been provided.
Once approved by Senate, the proposal is to be submitted to the Board of Governors.
Motion
That Senate approves and recommends to the Board of Governors the
establishment of the Centre d'études francophones Quebec-Pacifique as
outlined in document SCUP 00-38.
