A. Cognitive Science
Program Changes: Synopsis and Rationale
1. Changes to Lower Division Requirements: Beginning level
This set of courses represents the only set which are required of all major and honors students without
options. A number of adjustments have become necessary, both to preserve breadth and to streamline the
requirements

RAtiONALE: The presentation of the courses in the calendar incorrectly states that
CMPT 104 is an
unconditional requirement. In fact, it is only
required
when
CMPT 103 is taken. The re-
arrangement removes this misunderstanding, and makes clear that CMPT 103 and 104 are
seen as substitutes for CMPT 101 rather than true alternatives. Ordinarily, students will
only need to use this substitution when prevented from taking CMFT 101 by
its prerequi-
site statement. Comutin Science is further oueeifvine a nw ejurse (MACM lOfl as a

Additionally, for students who choose Linguistics

RATIONALE: LING 100 has been found to be too general and broad for the purposes of Cognitive Sci-
ence students, and is not a prerequisite for further courses in the program. Most of the
Linguistics lower division prerequisites are gained in the 200-level, for those choosing
Linguistics as one of the three disciplines taken in the Intermediate courses. LING 220 is
the appropriate course to require, as it is the introductory course for majors in Linguistics
and serves as the prerequisite for further courses required in the Intermediate set. Since
dropping LING 100 without replacement would mean that it would be possible to gradu-
ate from the program without having taken any Linguistics course, moving LING 220 into
the set of fundamental requirements will assure the breadth of the entry level require-
ments will be maintained.

is hence being dropped as an alternative to PHIL 100, which remains as the sole require-
ment in Philosophy at this level.

RATIONALE: In view of the increased requirements in Psychology in the Intermediate set
(see
below), it
is appropriate to reduce the requirements in the lower division overall. PSYC 180 does not
feed directly into the advanced physiological psychology sequence, since PSYC 280 is the
prerequisite for that sequence. PSYC 180 should therefore be dropped In favor of addi-
tional 200-level requirements.

RATIONALE: PSYCH 221 has been added as a new introduction to cognitive psychology, an area of cen-
tral interest to Cognitive Science students. Since it has been added as a prerequisite to
many upper-division courses in the option lists used in the Cognitive Science major and
programs, it is an essential as well as desirable addition to the lower division require-
ments for those programs. PSYC 280 should be added as an option under the psychology
set, in case students want to take PSYC 381-382 in the upper division. Unless it is men-
tioned here, it remains a hidden prerequisite.

added LING 330, which permits the addition of a phonetics stream (see below for LING
S
401) that could be used in connection with a perception focus along with the appropriate
psychology courses. Students interested in going on to further study in speech pathology
may find this option interesting, and a number of inquiries in this direction have been
received. Phonetics is a requirement for this goal, however.

with the mental processes of attention, and thus should be added to this option list as a
replacement.

RATIONALE: The Department of Linguistics has likewise added new course in formal linguistics, LING

Science, and hence should be included in the option list available to honors students.
LING 400 complements the computational linguistics series in the Computing Science
major requirement set, while LING 423 offers a continuation of LING 323, which is
included in the major requirements that form the basis for the honors requirements. The
addition of LING 330 at the intermediate level makes it possible to add LING 401 to form
a sequence in phonetics (see
3b. Linguistics
on page 6). The addition of these options intro-
duces a choice in this set, hence the addition of a sentence specifying the number of
options to be taken (the number of credit hours to be taken remains the same).

enhance students' options, which
would have

Science students. NYC 430 forms anatural sequence with PSYC 303, and hence adds a

Last year, when we introduced the BFA Major in Film, we intended to change the
credit weight and vector attached to WA 335-3. The change of FPA 335 credit
was referred to several times in the BFA document, and was assumed in the
credit totals required for the Film major. Unfortunately in the typing of the final
proposal the actual change of credit was deleted; the proposal went through all
the necessary committees without this omission being caught or corrected. We
seek now to correct this error.
In designing a coherent BFA Major in Film and Video last year, it became clear
that we could not adequately cover the required theoretical material in a two
hour lecture. We increased the lecture to three hours. The new vector (see above)
reflects this change. The new credit hours (raised from 3 to 4), reflect the
increased workload. This alteration should have been included with all the other
changes included in the FPA Film Major Proposal.

RATIONALE:
The School of Criminology has experienced an increase in the number
of applicants for the Post Baccalaureate Diploma program in
Criminology, and since these students will be registering :fbr upper.
division Criminology courses, it is essential that the School be
alerted to their intent as soon as possible, in order that the
necessary Registration Clearances can be entered in a timely manner.
Currently, with no application deadline at all for the School of
Criminology, we are being approached by intended P.B.D. students
well after registration has commenced, when there is virtually
nothing left available for them to take at the upper division,
causing great anxiety on the part of these students. By establishing
an application procedure for the P.B.D., setting deadlines which
conform to the University's deadlines for the appropriate semesters,
we can be in contact with these students much sooner than we currently
are, can conditionally accept them for the program (the condition
being admission to the University) and can prepare properly for
the anticipated numbers in any given semester, for any given course(s).
As we require this of intended Majors/Minors in Criminology, it
makes sense to formalize the P.B.D. program in the same way, given
the pressure on our upper division enrollments in Criminology.

RATIONALE: ?
Please provide an explanation for these changes
CRIM' 135-3 (Introduction to Canadian Law and Legal Institutions:
A Criminal Justice Perspective) is currently required for the
Bachelor of Arts, Major in Criminology, and for the General
Certificate in Criminology (equivalent to the first two years of
the four-year Major program). The course has also become a
prerequisite for a number ofour upper division courses, which are
taken by the Advanced Certificate students (as well as the
Criminology Majors and Minors).
Currently, only CRIM 101-3 and GRIM 131-3 are required as pre-
requisites for the Advanced Certificate, but it is felt that the
content of CRIM 135-3 is important preparation for our upper
division coursework that is not provided
in
101 or 131. We feel
that adding CRIM 135-3 as a prerequisite for the Advanced
Certificate will greatly assist students registered in that
program in preparing for entry to upper division law and law-
related courses.

CRIM 135-3 (Introduction to Canadian Law and Legal Institutions: A
Criminal Justice Perspective) Is currently required for the Bachelor
of Arts, Major in Criminology, and for the General Certificate in
Criminology (equivalent to the first two years of the four-year Major
program). The course has also become a prerequisite for
a
number of
our upper division courses, which ar.e taken by the Post Baccalaureate
Diploma in Criminology students.
Currently, only CRIM 101-3 and CRIM 131-3 are required as pre-
requisites for the Post Baccalaureate Diploma in Criminology, but
it is felt that the content of CRIM 135-3 is important preparation
for our upper division coursework that is not provided in 101 or
131. Adding CRIM 135-3 as a prerèqtisite for the Post Baccalaureate
Diploma in Criminology will greatly assist students registered in
that program in preparing ; Or entry to upper division law and law-
related courses.

Crimes Among the Professional Elite
Calendar Description of Course: This course will examine the use of self regulation by professional
organizations (e.g. law societies, colleges of physicians and surgeons, stock exchanges) and the increasing
demand by other occupational groups and social and economic entities to be governed by these internal
controls in addition to, or in lieu of, the criminal law. It will specifically examine how the criminal law is
used in the context of self-regulation and how professionals can by-pass the criminal law through self-
regulating organizations. The professions will be examined in the context of administrative, civil and

To introduce undergraduate students to a more in depth analysis of crimes of the professional elite, with a
view to developing a critical analysis of self-regulation as a means of social control. Issues to be explored
include: the structural factors which facilitate crimes of those who work in recognized professions, the use
of criminal law against these people, the interface between criminal law and self-regulation, the role which
self regulation plays in creating monopolies.

• In meeting the requirements
for the
Honors
Program,
students must include at least,
two courses from the Economics
Group Requirement.:
Students are responsible for ensuring they have also fulfilled all requirements for an
honors degree set up by the Faculty of Arts.
Rationale for Changes
The
old program required a slection of courses that
can
be categorized
as
'broadening".
These include
courses, in
Economic History, History of Economic Thought and
Methodology. This principle has been carried (welrinto. the' new; program by the
requirement of at least. two courses from those listed under "Group Requfrement". This
set of courses is an expansion of the old set of coursá and includes additional courses in
Economic History and Methodology; phis a course in Comparative Economic Systems
(see item I) below).
Econ 310 was' dropped as a required course. In last year's curriculum changs' this course
was shifted to lower
,
division (Econ 210)., The original reason for thinking this course
was. essential for ant Hnorsdegree in Economics hasbeen forgotten.

Two courses were added as upper division requirements for the Honors Program. Econ

is a course in econometric techniques and is considered necessary for students
participating in Econ 499 (Honors Seminar in Economics).. Econ 499 is a new course that
provides a capstone to the program.
The old requirement of "at least two additional 400 division Economics courses" is
redundant given the new requirements.

why it was a requirement.
The required upper division hours was increased from 28 to 32 to conform with the new
specific upper division course requirements.
The change from requiring both Econ 402 and Econ 403 to requiring either Econ 402 or
Econ 403 is an attempt to lighten a very heavy program without unduly sacrificing
content. ?

The rationale for including Econ 435 and Econ 499 as required courses is the same as that
provided in the Honors Program (item B above).
The sentence excluding BUEC 333-3 from counting toward upper division credit in either
Economics or Business Administration was deleted because we consider the course upper
division.
All of the above changes to the Joint Honors Degree have been approved by the Faculty
of Business Administration.
D.
Additional courses for Group Requirement
Econ 404 (Honors Seminar in Methodology of the Social Sciences) and Econ
450
(Seminar in Quantitative Economic History) were added to the courses listed in the
"Group Requirement" for Economics majors, joint majors, honors and joint honors.
The complete list of courses in the Group Requirement is as follows:
ECON 100-3
Introduction to Economics
102-3
Twentieth Century Economies
208-3
History of Economic Thought
250-3
History of Economic Development A
252-3

404-3
Honors Seminar in Methodology of the Social Sciences-
409-3

450-3
Seminar in Quantitative Economic History.
451-3
Seminar in European Economic History
Note: majors, joint majors and joint honors are required to complete at least one of these
courses while honors students must complete at least, two.
Rationale
Both courses that were added are considered to conform. to- the spirit of the Group
Requirement, adding breadth in Economics. Our concern is that without this
requirement, students would tend to over specialize in their course selection.

both time series and cross section data.
To: The application of econometric techniques to the empirical investigation of

Rationale
The new description more accurately portrays the course content.
F. BUEC 333 exclusion from Joint Major and Joint Honors Programs
The calendar currently excludes BUEC 333 from counting toward upper division credit in
the joint major and joint honors programs. The UCC (with the concurrence of the
Faculty of Business) voted to delete this exclusion.
Rationale
We consider BUEC 333 an upper level course. No one can remember the reason for the
exclusion.

Library Course Assessment for ECON 282, ECON 460 and
ECON 499.
On June 3, I received outlines for the above courses. Here
is our assessment of the suitability of the Library's
resources to support this course.
COSTS:
The cost per monograph is $55 (BNA 92-106)
This-new course will first be offered in the Spring of 1995
and once every 4 semesters to about 200 students. There is
no sample bibliography provided for this course and only one
example of a potential topic which is
Contemporary European
Macroeconomi
c
Issues.
Dr. Clyde Reed tells us that this course is meant to
accommodate special topics taught on a one time basis, often
by visiting professors.
According to the memorandum from J.M. Munro to Senate of
January 19, 1993 under point 3, "Special topics courses
which have not previously been offered shall be presented to
the Library for an assessment of the availability of Library
materials as early as possible."
This could be interpreted to mean either; that our office
looks at the course once, as we are doing now, or that
whenever a new topic is selected our office will be notified
and the appropriate reading lists will be provided us so we
can tell the Department whether Library resources are
adequate to support the proposed topic. We need an
interpretation of the intent of Dr. Munro's January 19 memo.
Based on the information provided to us we cannot now
provide a meaningful assessment of the Library's. ability to
support this course.

ECON 460-3 Seminar in Environ
This course will be offered once a year to about 15
students. The Department offers a course on the same topic
at the lower division level, ECON 460 is an expansion of the
Departmental offering.
A check of the reading list shows that 1 item is not in
the catalogue, 1 was burnt in the fire and one was on loan.
These three items should be purchased at a cost of $165.

Uing the Amigos/OCLC system we compared our holdings to
those of 97 academic libraries of similar size to our own in
the LC call numbers HC79 and HC110. We discovered about 30
titles over a 10 year span which the Library should have
acquired. To allow for limited retrospective purchases and
to ensure currency in this field we recommend the purchase
of 5 titles per year at a cost of $275.
The instructor informs us that the periodical
Ecological
Economics
should be added to the collection, it will cost
$414 per year.
There is no need to alter the Library selection profile.
ECON 499-6 Honours Seminar in Economirs
• This course will be offered once per year to 15 students.
According to the course proposal, "The purpose of this
course is to permit the student to expand and develop a
paper that has been prepared for a previous course into an
Honors paper."
We think that Library resources are adequate based on the
assumption that they are able to support existing
prerequisite courses especially ECON-301 Intermediate

RATIONALE FOR NEW COURSE PROPOSAL
DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY
GEOG 411-4 (HYDROLOGY II)
RATIONALE:
The Geography Department currently offers a 300-level course in
hydrology (GEOG 311-4). This course presents a general
introduction to the topic, but does not provide more advanced
material which would be necessary for post-degree employment or
for undertaking graduate work in hydrology and related fields.
Each time I teach GEOG 311 1 have several students approach me
with a request to undertake more advanced study of hydrology
through GEOG 490 (Directed Studies). The proposed course would
fulfill the needs of students desiring more advanced study in
hydrology.

(SOIL SCIENCE II)
RATIONALE:
The geography program currently offers one course in soil science,
GEOG 317-4. GEOG 317 is an introductory course and the proposed
course (GEOG 417) would present an advanced treatment of various
aspects of soil science. A number of students have suggested that
they would be interested in a 400-level soil science course. This
course would help prepare students for employment after graduation
?
- - ?
and would provide background for graduate research related to soil - -
science. Dr. M.G. Schmidt, a recently hired faculty member in the
Department of Geography, plans to offer a graduate course in soil
science (directed studies or selected topics) and students in this
course could attend the lectures in GEOG 417 as well as a separate
graduate seminar.

RATIONALE: The above-mentioned calendar changes are rationalized as
------------------
?
follows:
?
- ?
-
?
-
?
- ?
-
i)
Andrew Wister is now an Associate Professor and so the calendar entry
should be changed from Assistant Professor designation to reflect this fact.
ii)
Under the 'Notes' section the first point is "Enrollment in the program
is limited". This should be removed as it has not been necessary to limit
enrollment in the program to date (provided prerequisites are met) and this
point could be misleading.
S
iii) The phrase "Students entering the program without appropriate work
experience will be required to complete a practicum prior to graduation from
the diploma." should be contained within the Program Requirements category
in addition to Admission Requirements category, to ensure students are made
aware that this is a requirement for graduation.
iv) Optional courses (GEOG 386, PSYC 306, PSYC 444, SA 460) should be
deleted as they are only tangentially related to gerontology. New courses
GERO 406 and 407 should be added. (See new course proposal forms)

RATIONALE FOR NEW COURSE PROPOSAL
GERONTOLOGY PROGRAM
GERO 406-3
Death and Dying
RATIONALE: The Gerontology program began in the fall of
1983
with a mix
of new and pre-existing courses, some of the latter of the "Special Topics"
variety. One of the first developmental tasks of the Program was to regularize
these Special Topics offerings. The second major task was to enhance optional
course offerings and to eliminate those only tangentially related to
Gerontology.
A list of potential topics for optional course development was included in the
original proposal approved by Senate to establish this program (See appendix
I). "Death and Dying" was one of the courses listed. This course will first be
offered as GERO
406 in the Fall
1994
semester. It has been offered on campus
in the Spring of 1985 as a Special Topics (Gero
410:
Cultural Aspects on Death
and Dying), in the Fall of 1992 as a Special Topics (Gero 412-3: Death and
Dying) and is scheduled to be offered in the Fall of
1993
under the same
course number
(Gero 412-3).

examination of specific nutritional conditions and concerns of the aging population. It does so by
exploring the nutrient needs of the elderly as determined by physiological changes of aging,
metabolic effects of common diseases, and biochemical interactions of medications. The course
includes a broad investigation of the psychological, sociological, and physical factors which
influence food choice and ultimately nutritional status in aging.

RATIONALE FOR NEW COURSE PROPOSAL
GERONTOLOGY PROGRAM
GERO 407-3 Nutrition And Aging
RATIONALE: The Gerontology program began in the fall of 1983 with a mix
of new and pre-existing courses, some of the latter of the 'Special Topics"
variety. One of the
first
developmental tasks of the Program was to regularize
these Special Topics offerings. The second major task was to enhance optional
course offerings
and
to eliminate those only tangentially related to
Gerontology.
A list of potential topics for optional course development which was included
in the original proposal approved by Senate to establish this program, names
Nutrition and Aging as one of these offerings.
The majority of Gerontology Programs offer a course specializing in Nutrition
and Aging, and as shown in appendix 2, Nutrition and Aging was one of three
topics considered essential in a survey of Gerontology educators conducted by
the Association for Gerontology in Higher Education. In addition, Nutrition
and Aging is in very high demand with Gerontology Diploma students at SFU
as is evidenced b y
the high enrolments witnessed in all of the last semesters it
was offered.
This course will first be offered as GERO 407 in the Summer 1994 semester.
It has been offered on campus, by Susan Crawford, in the Summer and Fall of
184 and the Summers of 1986, 1987 and 1992 as a Special Topics (GERO 410,
411 and 412) and as GERO 410 in the summer of 1990 by Joan Finlayson. It is
scheduled to be offered in the Summer of 1993, by Susan Crawford under the
course number GERO 410.
This course has been co-offered by the Gerontology and Kinesiology
departments
a
number of times under the designation: GERO 410/KINE 422.

27 in 1993) the Humanities Steering Committee has reviewed the entire program
to ensure that we are using the changes and growth in the program as efficiently
as possible. We now wish to offer an extended minor in addition to a minor. The

Proposed Calendar Entry for
Humanities Pro
gram:
94-3
The Humanities is the study of a broad range of ideas and
subjects drawn from philosophy, art, literature, history,
religion, science, and social and political thought. Through a
comparative and interdisciplinary approach to classical,
medieval, renaissance, and modern culture, the study of the
Humanities raises critical questions about the achievements
and controversies associated with the concept of civilization
itself. Students will be encouraged to examine the knowledge
and ideas central to the Humanities and to integrate these
concerns with their major programs in original and critical ways.
Extended Minor Program
Students may qualify for a BA degree with an
extended minor in humanities plus one other
extended minor, or may use the extended minor in
combination with other programs in other degrees.
Students must complete both the lower and upper
division requirements as set out below.
Lower Division Requirements
Students must complete 18 semester hours of credit
from the list below. Because the study of the
Humanities requires familiarity with philosophical
concepts and an awareness of the past, students
must include at least one of Hist 105/106 and one of
Phil 150/151, plus a minimum of three courses in
lower level Humanities in their program.

RATIONALE: (for change of minor program to extended minor program)
1)
Need for an extended minor in Humanities:.
Since the extended minor degree option was introduced, we have had numerous requests for an
extended minor in Humanities.
Humanities is a teachable subject for PDP students at both the elementary and secondary levels, and
POP students often prefer to do two extended minors either within a BED or BA degree. The Ministry of
Education's Year 2000 Plan promotes an integrated approach to teaching Arts and we expect Humanities
courses (which are interdisciplinary) to be in demand by PDP students.
2)
Feasibility:
The re-organization of our minor program into a minor and an extended minor requires no addition of
courses but allows for a more flexible use of our present courses within other degree programs in the
university.
We now offer 27 courses on a regular basis. Students will have sufficient choice to fulfil the requirements
of an extended minor; they will not need to take course work in other departments in order to plan a
coherent program.
3)
Credits:
The current Humanities minor program requires 18 semester hours at the lower level, that is, the same
as, or more than, the credit requirement for most major programs in the Faculty of Arts. Extended minors
require the same number of lower level semester hours as major programs; this requirement therefore
conforms to general practice in the Faculty of Arts.
4)
Precedent for an extended minor in a program with no major:
The School for the Contemporary Arts has individually defined extended minors in programs that do not
have majors, as noted in the 92/93 Calendar on
p.
83 under the extended minors general description. A
Humanities extended minor could be included in this reference.
5)
Addition of Greek and Latin to the List of Courses:
These courses are now acceptable as meeting breadth requirements in the BA degree they should be
acceptable as meeting the lower level Humanities requirements also.

Lower Division Requirements
Students must complete 3 Humanities courses at the lower division for a total of

RATIONALE:
• ?
1) Need for the program:
This will replace the current Humanities Minor Program which we are proposing to change to an
Extended Minor. Together, the minor and extended minor programs will allow for a more flexible
use of our courses within other degree programs in the university.
2)
Feasibility:
The re-organization of our current minor program into an extended minor and a minor requires no
addition of courses.
Humanities now has a sufficient number of courses to accommodate students without requiring
them to take part of their work in other departments.
3) Credits:
The lower division requirement proposed for the new minor program reflects practice in other
minor programs in the Faculty of Arts.

the Co-ordinator and/or advisor before being admitted to the program.
RATIONALE:
1)
Change in number of re
q
uired credits from 16 to 15 semester hours of upper division:
It is virtually impossible to meet the 16 credit requirement currently in place without exceeding this
number since Humanities upper division courses are 3 credits, with the exception of Hum 400-5.
2)
Hum 400-5 now optional:
Hum 400-5 required all students to complete a substantial individual research project. We
propose to make it optional, to reflect general practice of other minor programs in the Faculty of
Arts none of which requires an individual study project. We recognize however, that the
opportunity to pursue a study project in depth may be valuable to students in the program, and
therefore recommend that students doing so may substitute it for two upper division Humanities
Courses.
3)
Students no longer re
q
uired to take an approved course outside Humanities:
The increased selection of upper division Humanities courses (as of September 1993) makes it
possible to accommodate students wishing to do a minor or extended minor without requiring
them to take courses outside Humanities.
4)
Omission of list of upper division courses:
Since all Humanities upper division courses will count towards the minor it is not necessary to list
them individually In this section of the Calendar.
5)
Correction of advising information:
The Humanities Steering Committee does not, in practice, approve a student's program of
studies, and this paragraph is changed to reflect actual practice.

General Rationale
Most of the changes proposed here are intended to improve accessibility to 400-level elective courses.
Most 400-level courses currently have heavy 300-level core course prerequisites, while at the same time
these courses are offered less frequently than any others in the program (usually once in 6 semesters). This
has the effect of limiting student choice of electives, since each student has only a limited selection in the
fairly short time between completion of the 300-level core courses and graduation. Courses a student may
want to take may not come up in the rotation of offerings in this time frame. This problem is particularly
acute for students in the Minor program, who are not required to take all the 300-level core courses, and
hence relatively few of the 400-level electives are open to them to begin with. The Department has there-
fore examined the prerequisite structure at the 400-level with the intent of reducing the number of prereq-
uisites to the essential minimum for each course, and is herewith proposing changes to a number of 400-
level courses as a result. The result should be improved student choice with respect to 400-level courses,
without having to offer the courses more frequently, since students will have access to them earlier in their
program as they come around in the cycle of offerings.
In one case, LING
250,
experience in teaching the course has proven that the absence of prerequisites
unacceptably restricts the level on which the course must be taught, and the addition of prerequisites is
therefore being proposed. In LING 360, a strongly recommended course is being made obligatory.
Finally, changes to the prerequisite structure of Psychology courses have made it necessary to drop.
some upper-level Psychology requirements from the Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in English as a Second
Language.

RATIONALE: The Psychology department has revised its course offerings and prerequisite structure in a
way that materially effects this opiton list. PSYC 351 has been dropped, while PSYC 355,
366, and 367 have been given additional prerequisites, including PSYC 201. It is unreason-
able to assume that Post-baccalaureate diploma students will either come into the pro-
gram with these prerequisites
on
their records, or have the time
in
their programs to
accumulate these prerequisites. While this may be true of an occasional student, it will be
the exception rather than the rule. The proposed replacements from Education represent
alternatives that are both accessible and relevant to classroom teaching.

RATIONALE FOR NEW COURSE PROPOSALS

PHIL 332-3; PHIL 333-3
RATIONALE:
We currently have three selected topics courses in the calendar, PHIL 231-3, PHIL 331-3
and PHIL 435-4. These courses are ample for the purpose for which they were intended,
that is, offering a course taught by a faculty member using a classroom. PHIL 332-3 and
PHIL 333-3 will require neither faculty nor rooms.
We:propose
these new courses purely
for administrative convenience as a way around a limitation in SIMON. SIMON will
permit variable content courses to have variable titles, a marked improvement over the
previous system. But SIMON will not permit more than one title in any given semester.
For example, the department could not offer PHIL 331 in 93-3 in the day under the title
"Environmental Ethics" and in the evening under the title "Quantified Modal Logic".
Our problem with this limitation in SIMON arises when we permit students to take a
regularly titled course for a second time under a selected topics number. For example, a
student who has credit for PHIL 320-3, Social and Political Philosophy, and who took the
course when it focused on Justice may wish to take it again when it focuses on a
completely different topic, say Social Contract Theories. We could have the student enrol
in PHIL 320-3 a second time and request an override to the duplicate course rule or we
could have the student enrol in an selected topics course e.g.. PHIL 331-3 with an
appropriate title (PHIL 331-3 would be used in this case because 231-3 is a lower division
course and
435-4
is a 4 credit course.) We try to do the latter when we can because the
transcript will be more accurate. However, we cannot accommodate the student if the
selected topics course is being offered in that semester as a class with a title of its own or if
more than one title is required for one or more students.
Because our problem has centered around PHIL 331-3, we propose to have these devices
at the 300 level. And, because they will be used to circumvent a minor limitation of
SIMON there will be no library costs associated with them and no staffing implications.
Enrolment in them will be effected by the Department; they will not be available on the
telephone system.

HERMENEUTICS
SUMMER SEMESTER 1993
?
BJØRN RAMBERG
REQUIRED TEXT:
Philosophical Hermeneutics,
by H.-G. Gadamer and edited by David Linge
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
What is the source of the norms that guide our interpretation of the world we live
in? How might such norms be legitimated?
These are central questions of
Philosophical Hermeneutics,
a collection of
selected essays by the influential German philosopher Hans-Georg Gadamer. Inthese
papers, we are offered a distinct perspective on the nature of understanding, which seeks
to take seriously the historical embodiment of human reason, while avoiding the pitfalls
of relativism.
Two axes of exploration will orient us. One is Gadamer's challenge to the kind of
epistemology and metaphysics that appears to lack sufficient historical consciousness.
The other is Gadamer's interrogation of the understanding of the subject-object
dichotomy which is, he argues, operative in both realist and idealist attempts to provide
legitimation of knowledge-claims.
The course presupposes no familiarity with Gadamer's work, and will function as
an introduction to philosophical hermeneutics.
COURSE REQUIREMENTS:
Grades will be determined on the basis of 3 or 4 papers.

MARTIN HAHN
REQUIRED TEXTS:
The Philosophical Significance
of
Scepticism,
Barry Stroud
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Scepticism is the view that knowledge, usually concerning specific matters but
sometimes globally, is impossible. Arguments for scepticism have been an important
feature of western philosophy since the pre-socratics. Since the inception of modern
philosophy by Descartes in the 17th century, the problem of scepticism concerning the
external world has been right at the centre of both epistemology and metaphysics.
( Barry Stroud's is a recent work which, as the title suggests, tries to assess the
significance of scepticism and sceptical arguments from a contemporary point of view.
Stroud is both lucid and profound, I believe, and students will have a relatively rare
opportunity to work through a book which both is up to date and attempts a significant
contribution to the field.
COURSE REQUIREMENTS:
The grade will be based on three papers: two short (about 1000 words each) and
one longer (2000 words). The shorter papers will be worth 25% of the grade each, the
long one 50%.

RATIONALE;
The field of public policy has expanded rapidly since the course POL 451 was created as
the only offering in the Department of Political Science focusing on this aspect of the
discipline. There is now far too much literature to cover in a single course at the fourth
year level. Students would be better served by having a third year course introducing them
to general concepts and methods in the sub-field which would serve as a prerequisite to
more specialized courses at the fourth year level dealing with a variety of specific cases
and specialized conceptual and practical problems faced by policy-makers and policy -

The proposed POL 351 - The Policy-Making Process is intended to serve as this
general third year introductory course.

RATIONALE FOR NEW COURSE PROPOSAL
DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE
P0L413-3 Nature and Politics
RATIONALE:
Rhetorical, philosophical and/or scientific (or
sometimes pseudo-scientific) explanations or accounts of
politics as a natural phenomenon, or as an activity that
ought to conform to norms determined by the natural order of
things, represent a vast and fascinating literature.
Although other courses deal with some parts of this
literature, ncourse trt, it as a ppthaycqeflt_
whole. In fact, there exists now a new subdisciplines, with
its own professional association and its own journal (i.e.,
Politics and the Life SciencesL) which are precisely
supporting research and teaching pertaining to this complex
range 'of problems. Thus by offering a course of this type,
the Department' would join ranks with a growing number of
scholars and specialized centres that are engaged in
pioneering and exciting research.
S
The proposed course is not a first in this domain for
the Department since an existing course POL 455
BiopolitiCs
and Biopolicy
has offered an opportunity to teach some of
these questions. Experience has shown, however, that it is
difficult to cover adequately in thirteen weeks both halves
of this course, i.e.,
t
ibjopolitics" which corresponds more
or less to the objectives outlined above, on the one hand,
and "biopolicy
tt
which is more concerned with the political
controversies associated with the application of the life
sciences to public policy-making (e.g., environmental
policy, regulation of new biotechnologieS, etc.). For this
reason, two new courses are being proposed, POL 413 and POL
453 Issues in Polic

This course is intended to present students with an opportunity to reflect upon the relations between the

new; more empirically oriented, field of biopolitics. The specific topics that such a course would cover
might vary somewhat from year to year, but they would mainly include the following: the Aristotelian
system; the natural law tradition; Hobbes and modern mechanicism; evolutionary approaches from
Darwin to Spencer to sociobiology; ethology and politics; physiological explanations of political
behaviour. Methodological considerations, such as the extent to which these are mere analogies,
insightful metaphors or truly scientific explanations, will also be built into the course.

RATIONALE FOR NEW COURSE PROPOSAL
DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE
POL
457-3 Issues in Policy Innovation and Design
RATIONALE:
This course is not entirely new. As it is explained elsewhere, POL 453 Biopolitics and
Biopolicy covered a range of issues and theories that was somewhat too broad and
disparate to be covered in a single course. The Department proposes that POL 453 be
deleted
and
that its subject matter be covered in two new courses: POL 457 and POL 413.
POL 457 is intended to be a vehicle for continuing to focus on the "biopolitical" issues -
-- — that were-covered-in POL45-3. "Biopolicy;" aneologism that iêfers to policy issues
situated at the intersection of the life sciences and politics, ranging from environmental
concerns to the regulation of genetic engineering, is arguably only one among several
other examples of new "quality of life" issues. These controversies, in which scientific or
technological knowledge play a central role (e.g., nuclear energy), are typical of the so-
called "post-industrial" or postmodern era. The proposed course would allow for the
discussion of policy innovations across a wide range of topics, including policy issues
which have proven to be of much interest to the students in POL 453. But the more
generic description would make it easier for faculty members with somewhat different
interests to teach this course.

FROM: Lynda Erickson
RE: Library Reports for New Course Proposals
I am sending you the copies I have of our library reports for our new course proposals and
the correspondence we have had with the library concerning these course proposals.
Please note-the following:
When the new course proposals were sent to the library, our proposed POL 413
was numbered POL 416;
POL 453 was proposed as a renamed and redescribed course. We have since
decided to propose this as a new course, now numbered POL 457 and we are proposing
to drop POL 453. In the library report sent by Professor Dobuzinskis, the library costs of
revising this course were assessed (see POL 453).
Included in the library report for our curriculum revisions is a report for a new
course proposal for POL 257. We have decided we do not have sufficient faculty
resources to propose this course at this time.
The library has also evaluated costs for some of the existing courses we already
have on the books. This happened because of an error on our part. We sent to the library a
description of the complete set of revisions we were proposing for one of our fields within
our curriculum. This included changes in course descriptions as well as new course
proposals. As I understand it, we are not required to have a library evaluation for revisions
in course descriptions, especially given these changes in descriptions are effectively
updating our calendar descriptions to reflect what is now being taught in these courses.

this course based on the information provided. The rationale notes, "The proposed description
more accurately reflects the way in which this course has always been taught.", but we do not
know if the Library resources are adequate.
Of 25 monographs on the reading list 3 are not in the catalogue, the cost is $146. One serial of
.14 is also not at SFU, it is,
Knowledge: Creation, Diffusion, Utilization

Only one of 21 monographs is missing, $46.50. One serial of 9 is also not present it is
Environmental Ethics,
an important journal in this field which costs $60.00 per year.
There is no bibliography attached to this course. It is noted that "Insofar as the proposed
• change does not significantly change the content of this course, it is suggested that the same
bibliographic material will continue to be
used."
The rationale for the course however, notes,
"By more explicitly identifying policy evaluation, about which there is a large and growing
literature...".

Library Course Assessment for Pol. Sci. 416 Feminist
Social and Political Thought
This course has previously been taught as a Special Topics
Course. As Pol. Sci. 416 it will first be taught in the Fall
of 1994 and every year thereafter. It has an expected
enrollment of about 20.
COST:
The cost of monographs in this subject area is $54.00 per
title.
BIBLIOGRAPHY:
There are 37 items on the reading list. 29 of the 32
monographs are in the collection leaving 3 new titles to
purchase and a further 10 are presently on loan indicating
the need to add copies. The cost of 13 monographs is
$702.00.
Of the 5 serials cited only one is not in the collection.
Women and Politics,
an important journal, costs $287.00 per
year.
We compared our holdings to those of U-VIC and UBC
Libraries in the following subject headings:

Feminist topics are currently of great interest and the

Library books get heavy use by a number of disciplines. This
means that multiple copies are often called for but not
supported by the budget. I am suggesting that money for 4
added monographs per year be provided to close the apparent
gaps in the subject heading Feminism and in consideration of
the very heavy use in this area, the cost is $216.00 per
year.

RATIONALE FOR NEW COURSE PROPOSAL
Department of Sociology and Anthropology
SA 318-4 Anthropology of Medicine
Rationale
This course (SA 318) expands the department's course
offerings on topics related to health and medicine.
SA 218 (an existing course) already provides a general
introduction to the socio-cultural factors related to
health and illness. It is taught by both sociologists and
anthropologists and has a topical approach.
SA 318 is a more advanced cross-cultural examination of
medical systems, with an emphasis on the anthropological
theories behind this analysis.
There are four reasons for offering this course:
1)
Medical anthropology is integral to anthropology in
general, providing an important site for the critique of
its methods, theory, and modes of explanation.
2)
We have a substantial number of sociology and
anthropology majors who are interested in pursuing careers
in this field.
3)
The course is of interest to students from other
disciplines because it provides a social and
cross-cultural approach to medicine.
4)
We have three faculty members in anthropology with
active research interests in this field (Professors Dossa,
Kenny and Pigg).

We are particularly concerned about the lack of material in
the subject heading Medical Anthropology. We would like to
suggest the immediate addition of 5 titles at $290 to help
fill the retrospective gap and an additional 8 titles per
year at $464.
In addition one journal should be added to the collection it
is
Medical Anthropology Quarterly
at $82 a year.
There is clearly a lot of ground to catch up in this subject

required.

RATIONALE FOR NEW COURSE PROPOSAL
Department of Sociology and Anthropology
SA 345-4 issues in Canadian Ethnic Relations
Rationale
It is proposed that a core course be developed for the Ethnic
and Intercultural Relations Diploma Program, focussing on
topics and issues around which there is currently
considerable interest, such as health care delivery, civil
rights, law enforcement and education. This course would, in
a series of seminars, survey issues of importance, viewing
them against a background of recent and current policy
initiatives and demographic changes, and examining them from
a social science perspective.
A well-structured diploma program can normally attract and
hold students who are already professionally employed,
provided that the materials offered are deemed to be relevant
and useful. This core course would address issues and
concerns currently of relevance and would provide a point of
entry from which students could move on to other, more
specialized, courses.
In this core course the background and contexts of ethnic
relations in Canada are examined. It is proposed that where
possible resource people from not-for-profit community
agencies, government departments, immigrant settlement and
First Nations organizations be considered as sometime guest
speakers, so that materials covered are firmly linked to
broader community issues. Guest speakers with particularly
relevant expertise from other departments, such as Political
Science or Economics, or from the Faculty of Education, may
also be invited on occasion.

Acceptance of general Simon Fraser University admission does not
automatically guarantee admission to the Post Baccalaureate. Diploma
Program. Students must apply for entry directly to the Department of
Sociology and Anthropology.
RATIONALE
(1)
The Department of Psychology has moved its Social Psychology
Course from the 300 to the 200 level. Therefore, it must be deleted
from this Post Baccalaureate Diploma Program.
(2)
SA 345-4 (Issues in Canadian Ethnic Relations) is a proposed new
course (see rationale on previous entry) that will serve as a core course
that all Diploma students will be required to complete.
(3)
The course description for SA 340-4 is currently being changed to
incorporate issues relating to ethnic and intercultural relations. It is,
therefore, proposed to introduce SA 340-4 as a core course for the
E&IR Diploma Program to ensure coverage of policy issues related to
ethnic and intercultural issues.

NAFTA, it is inevitable that business relations between North and Latin America will
continue to grow. A joint major between Latin American Studies and Business
Administration will educate our students about this ever increasing partnership with Latin
America. It does not involve any additional resources, but merely rationalizing existing
ones by the teaming up of the two departments.

DATE: ?

?
RE:
?
Calendar Changes
At its meeting of April 15, 1993, the Department of Women's Studies approved the following
calendar changes.. Would you please place these on the agenda of the Faculty of Arts Curriculum
Committee. ?
- -
— - - - - We are-pro
-
posing three
iw courses. The first of these is WS 313-3: Women and the Environment,
a course that Dr. Marilyn MacDonald, a new faculty member in Women's Studies, will teach
regularly. The other two courses, WS 10 1-3, Introduction to Women's Issues in Canada, and WS
102-3, Introduction to Western Feminisms, are designed to replace the current WS 100-4,
Perspectives on Women: An Introduction to Women's Studies which will be dropped from the
calendar. The reason for this change is that the field of Women's Studies has grown to such an
extent that it is impossible to cover the necessary introductory material in a single course. By
making the change to two courses, we gain in a number of ways. First, the change will provide our
students with a better overview of the field and better prepare them for advanced courses. Second,
more of the regular faculty will have the necessary expertise and interest to teach one or the other
of these courses. Third, by offering one of the two courses each term we will be able to implement
this change without an increase in resources. The information concerning the new courses can be
found in Appendix A.
We are proposing that WS 00 1-3: Issues in Women's Health and Health Care, be changed to WS
206-3. We are doing this in order to better serve the students in our degree programs. WS 001 does
not count toward any of our minor or joint major programs. This was reasonable when we
proposed it fifteen years ago, but changes since then in both our curriculum and the material
available to teach the course make it much more reasonable to teach it at the 200 level as part of
our lower level offerings. The calendar description has also been revised to better reflect what will
be taught in the course. The description of these changes can be found in Appendix B.
Based on the changes in our introductory courses, we are also changing our prerequisite structure.
These changes are of basically three types. First, for courses that already have WS 100 as a
prerequisite, the new prerequisites reflect only the changes in the introductory courses with either
WS 101 or WS 102 required in place of WS 100. We have chosen not to require both WS 101 and
WS 102 for any course except WS 400 (see description of changes below) in order to facilitate
students' access to our courses. Second, for 200 level courses which previously had no
prerequisites, we are implementing prerequisites which include either WS 101 or WS 102. Third,
?
..
for 300 level courses which previously required 60 credit hours or WS 100, we are requiring six
credits in Women's Studies including WS 101 and/or WS 102. The reason for instituting this
expanded prerequisite structure is because of the increased sophistication of the material available
5
?
in the field.
S
Tl
.
s, in order to teach courses above the introductory level in a way that accurately conveys the
important concepts and ideas in the literature, it is important that students have a common
academic bçkground in Wonen's Studcs. The changed prerequisite for each of our courses is
jnchided in Appendix C.
A
closely related change is the change in both title and prerequisite for WS 400. The title change
reflects more accurately both the content of the course and the existing calendar description. The
prerequisites for this course i
p clude both WS 101
and
WS
102. The reason for requiring both
introductory courses is that WS 400 isthe on
.
ly a4'ancc4 course required of all our minors and
joint majors. This change is çlçscribe in
Appcn4i D.
Finally, the changes in the 100, and .200 level courses require some changes in our minor and joint
major programs. All students
in
the Women's. Studies, minor, the joint major with English, and the
joint major with Psychology
wifl be
required
.
to talce both WS 101 and WS 102. For the Women's
Studies minor, the total number of lower level credits
Will
remain at nine, with both WS 101 and
WS 10 requiic. For both of the joint majors this change will increase the lower level Women's
Studies requirements by two credit bours. For the, Womens, Studies certificate either WS 101 or
WS. 102 will be required instead of WS 100t
For all three, programs and, for the certificate program
in Women's Studies, WS. 2063 will;be added to the, list' ofelective lower level courses. The
calendar text for these chanes: is included in Appendix E.

RATIONALE:
Feminist critiques of social movements have
argued
that women, while contributing
most of the work, receive relatively few of the benefits. This course is unique amongst
other courses at this university on environmentalism in its analysis of women's
participation in the movement and of the benefits (including employment, quality of life
-- _and sense of-agency) that they-derive-from-that participation
-Ecofeminis
m
iSnOw -
considered a major component of environmentalism, offering both complementary
and
alternative approaches within that discourse. It is important for feminists to understand
what ecofeminism contributes to other streams of feminism,
and
for environmentalists
to modify their approaches in light of ecofeminist arguments. This course would be of
obvious interest to Women's Studies students. The course also could be an elective- for
the proposed degree in Environmental Science/Studies;
and
would complement existing
courses within Resource

FROM: ?
WS 001-3 Issues in Women's Health and Health Care
Focuses on health issues of greatest concern to women, and their physiological,
psychological and social aspects. These aspects will be considered within the context
of Canadian medical, legal, religious and educational institutions. Among the topics
discussed will be reproductive physiology, birth control, rape and childbirth.
(Lecture/Tutorial)
This course will not count as lower division credit leading to a
Women's Studies minor.
TO: ?
WS 206-3 Issues in Women's Health and Health Care
A critical examination of women's relation to the health care system in Canada as
practitioners, users, researchers and objects of medical treatment and research. Among
thetopics discussed will be the medical model, the privatization of health care, the
medicalization of daily life including reproduction, and feminist alternatives to the
medical system.
Prerequisites: one of WS 101 or 102 (may be taken concurrently)
or 100. Students who have taken WS (Xii may not take WS 206forfurther credit.
RATIONALE:
Women's Studies has changed status from a program to a department, and therefore
must develop a complement of courses for both joint major and minor programs of
study. The existing course does not count towards the WS minor and/or joint majors.
WS 206 will count towards these programs. The change to a 200-level course would
better serve our students in a time of reduced resources. Health care in Canada can be
expected to undergo major changes in the near future. Free Trade and NAFTA,
bioengineering, workplace security, and environmental pollution, for example, must be
examined in relation to societal expectations of women as nurturers and primary health
care guardians. Finally, in order to fit in with other WS offerings at the 200 level,
more emphasis will be placed on academic performance than would characterize a
general interest course.

concerning this 'course assessment. I trust that this revised
assessment accurately incorporates the results of our
discussions. Thank-you also for the excellent bibliographies
and supporting documents; they were very helpful in
preparing this assessment
Two
new courses Women's Studies 101-3,
Introduction to
Women's Issues in Canada
and WS 102-3,
Introduction to
Western Feminisms will replace old WS 100-4. Only one of the
S ?
two courses will be offered in any given semester.
Enrollment is anticipated to be around 100-110 students per
course.
A new course is proposed, WS 313-3,
Women and the
Environment.
COSTS:
The cost of a monograph in this subject field is $43.00.
COURSES:
Qs
Of 27 monographs in the bibliography 7 are not in the
catalogue and a further 5 are on loan and should have a
second copy purchased. The total cost of 12 monographs is
$516.
The periodical
Women and Politics
is not in the collection
but is recommended for ordering in another course
assessment.

Women's Studies 102-3. Introduction to Western Fernjnjsms
Of 76 monographs listed in the bibliography 8 are not in
the catalogue and 5 are missing or on loan; these 12 should
be purchased for a cost of $516. Of the 30 journals cited 8
are not in the catalogue of which one is of utmost
importance,
$72 per year.
it is
Journal of Women's
History
which will cost
Women's Studies 313-3. Women and the Environment
Of the 25 items in the bibliography 5 were not in the
catalogue and a further 5 are on loan, in the bindery or
missing (all evidence of very high use) and should have
copies added. 10 books cost $430.
The periodical
Environmental Review
is important for this
and other courses in the University. However it is not
primarily a Women's Studies journal so we hope to purchase
it through a different budget.
** ** ** * * ** * * * *
Women's studies topics are of great and sustained
interest at this University and the Library's books get
heavy use. This means that wear and tear is high, the demand
for multiple copies is great and that there is persistent
demand for a wide range of titles. Therefore we are
suggesting that 5 added monographs per year be provided to
support these three courses at the cost of $215.00 per year.
COST SUMMARY
One time costs for monographs 101-3 = $516
102-3 = $516
313-3 = $430
$1,462
Recurring costs for periodicals
= $ 72

Thank—you--for—your memorandum and supportiP doméitsn
these courses. Here is the Library's assessment.
Two new courses Women's Studies 101-3,
Introduction to
Women's Issues in Canada
and WS 102-3,
Introduction to
Western Feminisms will replace old WS 100-4. Normally only
one of the two courses will be offered in any given

An old course WS 001-3 is also being renumbered to WS 206-3,
Issues in Women's Health and Health Care.
Finally a new
course is proposed, WS 313-3,
Women and the Environment.
COSTS:
The cost of a monograph in this subject field is $43.00.
COURSES:
Women's Studies 101-3, Introduction to Women's Issues in
Canada
Of 27 monographs in the bibliography 7 are not in the

*:UBC has 700,000 pre 1978 titles which are not yet listed
in its electronic catalogue, U-VIC has 500, 000. SFU has
none.
Feminist topics are currently of great interest and the?
Library books get heavy use by a number of disciplines. This
means that multiple copies are often called for but not
supported by the budget.
• I am suggesting that money for 10 monographs be provided
this year at a cost of $430.00 and that 6 added monographs
per year be provided to close the apparent gaps where they
exist in the above subject headings, and in consideration of
the very heavy use in this area, the cost is $258.00 per
year.
• This course is a revision of WS 001-3. The revised outline
shows a course which has undergone major changes. There is
no bibliography or other supporting material for the course.
Since the subject headings for this course overlap with
WS 102-3 we are satisfied that the monograph collection will
support this course.
We would like assurance from the Women's Studies Department
that they think the periodical collection is adequate for
this course since there is no money to add periodicals after
this process is complete.

Memorandum
?
Women's Studies Department
I
I thought it would be useful to put some of my comments in writing before we met
to discuss your assessment, as it might help clarify our discussion. I do have several
concerns about the way in which your assessment is presented.
First, it is inaccurate to describe WS 101 and WS 102 as new courses. These are
replacement courses for WS 100 which will be dropped from the calendar. Therefore,
all the resources for WS 100 will be available to students and the instructor. Even
though the library has been very short of funds, we have been teaching WS 100 for a
number of years with no complaints from the instructors or the students about the
library resources. As an introductory course, there is much heavier reliance on texts
and the resources needed for papers and other assignments are considerably less than
what is needed for upper level courses. Furthermore, because Jy WS 101 or WS 102
will be offered in any one term, some of the resources currently used for WS 100 each
term will be freed up for other users.
Second, I have some concern with how the number of 10 monographs this year
and 6 per year for WS 102 has been determined. I did send you a bibliography compiled
by Dr. Mary Lynn Stewart who developed the course proposal for WS 102. In case you
did not receive it, I have included a copy of it with this memo. I would hope that it could
be used in developing your assessment as I think it is a much more accurate
representation of the resources needed than the rough comparison of UBC, UVIC and SFU
holdings.
Third, although this is fairly minor, I understand that several new courses in the
area of environmental studies will be coming forward. Certainly, Environmental Review
would be relevant for each of these courses and thus it would be fairer to split the cost of
this periodical among the departments proposing related courses. Although it is
important for WS 313, it is not a specialty journal in the area of women and the
environment, and I do not see why the total cost should be assessed for this course.
Fourth, I am quite concerned that your assessment does not include a list of the
monographs you plan to buy in the current year and that you do not specify a consultative
procedure for determining future purchases. In these times of inadequate resources, we
must be very careful to spend money wisely and I think this can only be done if the
faculty member and the department responsible for the course are consulted. For
example, although it would seem that replacing a missing monograph would be a good
idea, it might well be that this is not nearly as crucial to teaching the course as the
acquisition of a new monograph. Furthermore, that a book is on loan at one point in time
seems to me a very inadequate measure of heavy use. If a history over several terms of
frequent use can be demonstrated, then perhaps an extra copy is required. However, it
might be, in a specific case, that the monograph in question is not as important for one
specific course as another monograph that has less heavy use. If the money you are
requesting is to be used to support a specific course, then consultation with the people
S
I
j'1\
S
responsible for teaching is both wise and necessary. Also, you do not specify the number
of years that cost would recur for monographs. Of course for periodicals, these costs
would recur indefinitely. However for monographs, I would think a better policy would
be to set a limit of a few years after which the need for monographs in that area would be
evaluated given the needs for monographs in other areas and for new courses that have
been proposed in the interim. Otherwise, over the years as recurring costs build, there
will be less and less money available for offering new courses.
In your assessment of the change of WS 001 to WS 206, you state that the
monograph collection will support this course and ask us for assurance that the
periodical collection is adequate. I have consulted with Dr. Marilyn Mac Donald who has
taught WS 001 and will regularly teach the course after it is changed to WS 206 and she
assures me that the collection is adequate.
In raising my concerns, I am not in any way attempting to undermine the needs of
the library for new resources to support new and existing teaching. Your needs are-clear----
and pressing, as are-the-needs-of-all- units on campiis Theèf&e we must work together
- tà make sure that the very limited resources we will have for the foreseeable future are
used in the very best way. It is in this spirit that I offer my thoughts.
