From: ?

J.M. Munro, Chair

Senate Committee on Academic Planning

Subject:

?

Limited Enrollment Programs and International Students

Date: ?

February 17, 1994

The Senate Committee on Academic Planning considered the report of the Senate

Committee on International Students in October 1993 and dealt with the majority of the

report's recommendations, forwarding motions for approval to Senate. SOAP delayed

consideration of one SCIS matter, a recommendation to restrict enrollment of

international students in all limited enrollment programs to a maximum of 10%. SCAP

referred the issues to the Faculties for response.

With the exception of Business Administration, none of the programs which currently

have enrollment restrictions requested the imposition of a limit on international

• students at this time. Of the departments without enrollment limits, some supported the

original SCIS suggestion and others opposed it. SCAP rejected the SCIS

recommendation that there be a limit of 10% international students in all limited

enrollment programs. Instead SOAP recommended the following actions for

consideration by Senate:

Motion 1:

"that Senate approve and recommend approval to the Board of

Governors that limited enrollment programs may request approval

to limit enrollment of undergraduate international students to 10%"

"that Senate approve and recommend to the Board of Governors

that the restriction that enrollment of undergraduate international

students in the Faculty of Business Administration be limited to

10% of total undergraduate enrollment be extended for a period of

three years"

The language in motion 1 would allow other programs to bring forward

recommendations to restrict the enrollment of international students in their

undergraduate programs in the future if that was felt necessary.
