SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY
Senate Graduate Studies Committee
1996 REPORT TO SENATE
The Dean of Graduate Studies is responsible for the general supervision of graduate work at the
University. This report outlines the position of graduate studies at Simon Fraser University, de-
scribes some changes made in 1996 and makes suggestions of future directions. It is very clear
that the future will not merely be an extrapolation of the past. Reductions in Provincial finding for
at least the next two fiscal years will put serious pressure on all the University's programs and will
prompt critical examination of
all
we are doing.
In January 1994, the combination of the positions of Dean of Graduate Studies and Vice-
President, Research was formalized by the President and Board of Governors. This was in rec-
ognition of the commonality of many of the interests of the two positions and the need to reduce
administrative costs. In July 1994, I accepted a 26-month appointment as Vice-President, Re-
search, retaining responsibility for the Graduate Studies portfolio, as well. Dr.
Phyllis M.
Wrenn
of the Department of French accepted a
3
/4-time appointment as Associate Dean of Graduate
Studies for the same period. Dr. Wrenn has primary responsibility for matters related to individual
student and individual programs, and chairs the Senate Graduate Awards Adjudication Committee
and the Assessment Committee for New Graduate Programs. I am responsible for policy matters
and external relations, sit on Senate and chair the Senate Graduate Studies Committee. Effective
September 1, 1996, my dual appointment was extended for
5
years, and Dr. Wrenn's extended for
one year.
The January 1997 edition of the S.F.U. Graduate Studies Fact Book describes, in quantitative
terms, the graduate student body in Fall 1996 and provides some retrospective data on completion
rates. it is the seventh edition, designed to complement information in the Simon Fraser Univer-
sity Fact Book, produced by the Office of Analytical Studies. A copy for perusal is available from
the Secretary of Senate. The Fact Book has moved to biennial production due to budget short-
falls,
workload pressures and the fact that the cumulative data change rather slowly.
L Enrolments and Degrees
The first section of the Graduate Studies Fact Book shows the recent history of graduate enrol-
ments and degrees granted; a brief version is attached to this report as Appendix A. The FTh en-
rolment figures should be treated with caution on two grounds. Prior to the Fall 1989, they were
determined through a reporting process which was subject to considerable variation between de-
partments. Starting in the Fall 1989, a new, rigorous definition of Part-Time status was adopted;
. ?
this was primarily responsible for the change in the (Head Count)/FFE ratio between 88/89 and
89/90. The official recognition of Part-Time status and the introduction of a reduced semester

tuition fee for Part-Time students were major advances in improving the accessibility of our
graduate programs. Programs currently approved for Part-Time study are listed in Appendix B.
IL Degree Completion/Withdrawal
Degree completion times are presented in the Graduate Studies Fact
Book It
should be noted that
these data do not take into account the possibility that a student may have been enrolled Part-
Time for all or part of the program and thus overstate completion times, especially for programs
with large numbers of Part-Time students.
Although a trend to longer completion times has been arrested and Master's degree completion
times reduced, I remain concerned by what appear in many cases to be excessive times for degree
completion. When resources are limited, it is especially important that they be used effectively and
efficiently. I am actively encouraging departments to ensure both that their degree requirements
are realistic and that their students make satisfactory progress, as required by Senate regulations,
toward meeting those requirements. To this end, in early 1996, I requested reports from all de-
partments on the status of each of their students, with respect to the currency of progress reports.
I am pleased to report that most students in most departments have current completion reports on
file. Departments found not to be in full compliance have been urged to improve their practices.
I am also pressing for timely appointment of supervisory committees. In establishing the Graduate
Studies Database, I encountered many students who had been here for several years, yet appar-
ently had no supervisory committees. This situation has largely been remedied; regularly, remind-
ers about 'delinquent' students are sent to departments by my office; a minor flood of committee
recommendations typically follows. Information on supervision is forwarded to the Office of the
Vice-President, Academic for inclusion in the CV update process.
The Graduate Studies Handbook, first published in 1991 and updated annually through 1996,
contains guidelines for supervisors and students that (if followed) should improve prospects for
expeditious degree completion. I have provided Graduate Program Chairs with samples of forms
used at SFU and elsewhere for reporting on student progress. The Handbook is now available on
http://www.sfu.ca/vpresearch/gradhandbkJ.
Withdrawal rates are also presented in the Graduate Studies Fact Book There are tremendous
variations in rates between programs. The overall rates for the University as a whole are in line
with the results of similar studies performed in the U.S. and with a similar study performed by the
Canadian Association for Graduate Studies.
Nonetheless, I am very concerned about low completion rates in some of our graduate programs.
Withdrawal may be due to any one of or a combination of factors including: lack of ability, lack of
motivation, lack of financial resources, health problems, and deficiencies in the graduate programs
and/or their implementation. As of January 1, 1993, I have instituted an exit questionnaire to
gather information about many aspects of our graduate programs from students who successfully
complete their degrees and from those
who
withdraw. Because of the need for confidentiality, the
results are analyzed only statistically, once enough students respond; analysis of the second data-
set is now underway, as is data obtained from similar questionnaires sent to students who with-
drew from their programs without completing the degree. Unfortunately, return rates from stu-
dents
who
withdrew are very low. Delivery methods other than mail are being explored.
1996
S.G.S.C. Report to Senate. Page 3 of 8
UAnother serious concern is the 'climate' that graduate students experience at SFU. To learn more
and to attempt to identify the most pressing problems, I am instituting a major study, in coopera-
tion with the Harassment Policy Coordinator, Patricia O'Hagan, and the Employment Equity Of-
ficer, Wendy Scholefield. This will be based on the study recently completed at UBC. A task
force, under the leadership of Dr. Ellen Gee, with representation from the SFSS/GIC and TSSU,
has been working on the survey instrument and a pilot study should be complete by the time this
report is presented to Senate.
IlL Grades
The Graduate Studies Fact Book gives information on the S.F.U. graduate grades of the end of
the Summer 1996 semester; it excludes students who had not yet taken an S.F.U. graduate
course. Data were taken from the Registrar's data files and incorporated into and processed within
the Graduate Studies Database system.
There is a tremendous range in the grade distributions among departments that may stem from
two causes: (1) differences in grading practices and (2) differences in the abilities of students. I
believe that, most likely, it is a mixture of these with the former a larger contributor than the lat-
ter. This range is one of the reasons that I moved away from interdepartmental comparisons of
CGPA in the ranking of applicants for S.F.U. graduate scholarships.
1V. Special Arrangements
The Senate Graduate Studies Committee serves as the Graduate Program Committee of students
enrolled under Special Arrangements. Special Arrangements provide opportunities for students
who are 'exceptionally able' to pursue graduate programs of their own design, outside the exist-
ing departmental boundaries. Dr. Wrenn and I have given special attention to these students. With
the goal of ensuring their satisfactory progress, we have brought all their supervisory committees
into compliance with Senate's regulations and require up-to-date progress reports as a condition
of registration. The response of students and supervisors has been excellent.
I am pleased to report that the defences of theses completed under Special Arrangements, which
Dr. Wrenn chairs, have all been quite successful. Historically, Special Arrangements has been a
high risk area; students either succeed or fail spectacularly. The number of students enrolled have
remained roughly constant around 20 - 30. Degree completion has been highly variable; see
Ap-
pendix C and the table below (degrees completed in each year):

Some other students have dropped out and others encountered health problems. By the steps out-
lined above and by continued rigorous adherence to the criteria for entrance into Special Ar-
rangements, we hope to improve the success rate. We have also moved to an annual admission
cycle and have decided to reject incomplete applications in an effort to reduce the very heavy
workload presented by these applications.
V. Administration
In September 1993, an application fee was introduced. Revenues are directed to General Univer-
sity Revenues and to my office in the proportion of 30:70. Most of the funds directed to my office
1996
S.G.S.C. Report to Senate. Page 4 of 8
are transferred to departments to assist in meeting the costs of recruiting, processing of the appli-
cations, and student travel for research and conference attendance.
In view of the current and anticipated financial difficulties, it will be essential to make the most
effective use of our limited resources. To this end, I have instituted a review of administrative
procedures, in both the academic and scholarships areas, with the goal of eliminating approvals
and other administrative actions that may had been of value at one point in the history of the uni-
versity, but are no longer necessary. Examples may be the approval of examining committees by
Faculty Graduate Studies Committees and the provision of official transcripts with all applications
for scholarships. It has been necessary to reduce the number of in-person examinations of doctoral
theses by making
in absentia
examination the preferred option..
VI. S.G.S.C. Motions
A summary of the motions passed by the S.G.S.C. in 1996, prepared by the Office of the Regis-
trar, is presented in Appendix
D.
VIL The Future
I remain cautiously optimistic about the future of graduate studies at SFU. Over the last several
years, we introduced a number of new programs which are in the process of implementation.
Other exciting new program initiatives are presently in the planning/approval process. It will be
essential to ensure that sufficient resources are allocated to support present and future programs,
while maintaining high quality. New programs should be mounted only if there is demonstrated
demand and adequate resources provided; this may imply the discontinuation of other, less suc-
cessful programs. ?

The introduction of a Provincial Degree Approval Process has, unfortunately, delayed implemen-
tation of some of the new programs. It is hoped that the thorough review that they undergo in our
own assessment process will improve their chances of success at the Provincial level
The quality of most of our existing programs is high, as is the quality of most of the thesis de-
fences which I have attended. With rare exception, applicants recommended by departments for
entry into Ph.D. programs have been very strong. Through aggressive recruiting of excellent ap-
plicants with the aid of entrance scholarships, rigorous enforcement of the requirements for satis-
factory progress, improved financial aid and careful monitoring of student supervision, it should
be possible to improve further the quality of our graduate programs, reduce withdrawal rates and
decrease degree completion times.

Simon Fraser University
Graduate Studies Fact Book
1996
The Graduate Studies Fact Book provides a snap-shot of the graduate student population of
Simon Fraser University in the Fall Semester of 1996, as well as retrospective data based on
information gathered and processed in this office. It is largely complementary to the S.F.U.
Fact Book prepared by the Office of Analytical Studies. Minor differences in enrollment figures
exist between the two publications due to differences in data collection intervals. For the same
reason, the data should not be used for inter-year comparisons. Note also that the program in
Languages and Linguistics was separated into the Departments of French and Linguistics in
1994.
Each section is headed by a graphical summary. In some cases, the summaries omit programs
where the numbers reported are too small to be significant; the tabular data are complete.
It is hoped that this Fact Book will be a useful source of information for the campus commu-
nity and others. This office can provide additional more specialized reports, if these are re-
quired. Note also that the S.F.U. Fact Book is available at http://www.sfu.ca/analytical-
studieslFactBook/facthookhtml
and that additional information on Simon Fraser University is
available at http://www.sfu.ca
Information on graduate awards maybe found in the report of
the Senate Graduate Awards Adjudication Committee, which is included in the report to Sen-
ate of the Senate Committee on Scholarships, Awards and Bursaries.
