RE: ?
CALEIP&cUMS
The School of Criminology seeks approval of the fol-
lowing calendar changes for 1988-89:
1)
Major revision of the description of the certficate and
diploma programs. These are necessary for clarifi-
cation and also to bring current requirements into line
with the development of courses by the Centre for
Distance Education and the University's affiliation
with the Open Learning Institute.
2)
The addition of a Canadian Studies course to our lower
division listings.
The course is CN.S _1Q
?
Qci.L.AcJc.9LOUfld_
Canada), and was suggested to us by Dr. R. Lorimer,
Director of the Centre for Canadian Studies. The
Calendar description for CN.S 160-3 is as follows:
A study of the development of Canadian
society, from an integrated sociological,
anthropological,
?
political ?
and ?
economic
perspective. The historical foundations of
linquistic duality and multicultural ethnic
diversity will be emphasized.
0
3)
?
The addition of two upper division Anthropology courses
to our Group B list.
S.A. 386 - Native peoples and public policy;
S.A. 387 - Canadian native peoples.
These were brought to our attention following the
recent revision of the Anthropology curriculum. They
would complement the School's major interest in native
justice.

FACULTY OF ARTS
Calender Description:
Contemporary issues, problems and themes pertinent to the
field of criminology. Development, character and function
of criminology as an academic and professional discipline.
Status of criminology in the Canadian context. Selected
issues of the study of crime, law and justice which will
vary depending on instructor.
This course is intended as an upper division offering,
designed specifically for non-majors who wish to undertake
an elective in criminology. Currently, no such course is
available among the undergraduate courses administered by
the School of Criminology; consequently non-majors are
obliged to select Criminology 101 ('Introduction to
Criminology'), which is principally constructed to fulfill
the needs of lower division students who intend to
. subsequently declare a major in crminology. The proposed
course, in contrast, will address salient issues in
criminology that are of general application and interest for
students outside the discipline. It will adopt a selected
issues format, so that content may vary according to
instructor interest. In general terms, the course will
provide an overview, commentary and analysis of central
themes in the discipline of criminology, taught at an upper-
division level of difficulty, and directed toward
individuals who desire a one-course survey of the
criminological enterprise.

FROM: ?

DATE: ?
October 13, 1987
RE: ?
CALENDAR CHANGES
1. ?
The Undergraduate Curriculum Coniittee gave formal
approval to the proposed course
?
103. This would
necessitate ?
changes in the School's calendar entry.
ISTAT
(i) the addition of
Mk ?
103 to the Group B listings.
(ii)
in the calendar description of
CRIM
120, the
following should be deleted:
"Note to criminology majors: students must
take
CRIM
120 before taking either MJTHSTAT
101/102 or PSYC 210." Instructors in
CRIM
120 have, over the past few years, found this
requirement to be increasingly irrelevant,
and have been waiving it routine1y,urther,
the revised course content of ?
1"T03 will
ensure that students will be getting the
social science context which was the main
rationale for requiring CRIM 120 before the
statistics course.
2. Majors in criminology must receive a grade of C- or
better on all required courses. In the past this has
not been required of our minors or our certificate
students. In order to achieve some measure of
uniformity and preparedness of students taking our
courses, the Undergraduate Curriculum Committee gave
its unanimous approval to the following motion:
"That minors and general certificate students
in criminology must attain a grade of C- or
better in their required courses, that is,
CRIM
101 and 103 for minors and
CRIM 101,
103, 104, 120, 131 and 230 for general
certificate students."
