MEMORANDUM

DEAN OF GRADUATE STUDIES

TO: ?

FROM: B.P. Clayman

SUBJECT: DISSOLUTION OF THE

?

DATE: 18 November 1986

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, SENATE

GRADUATE STUDIES COMMITTEE

Action undertaken by the Senate Graduate Studies

Committee at its Meeting of October 20, 1986, gives rise to

the following motion:

MOTION:

"That Senate approve and recommend approval to the

Board of Governors, as set forth in

S.86-80 ,

the

dissolution of the Executive Committee, Senate Graduate

Studies Committee."

RATIONALE:

At present, the Executive Committee has three

responsibilities:

1.

Upon delegation from the Senate Graduate Studies

40 ?

proposals;

to recommend to Senate on new course

proposals;

It was decided that the proper body to handle this was

the SGSC which has representation from all departments.

2.

To recommend to the Senate Graduate Studies Committee

on all Calendar changes;

The extra "layer" of approval was deemed unnecessary; in

practice, meetings of the SGSC followed immediately those

of the ESGSC and covered the same ground. The SGSC alone

would consider all Calendar changes.

3.

To decide on admission or degree recommendations in

those cases where the Dean of Graduate Studies is not

able to approve.

It was decided that the proper body to handle this was

the SGSC which has representation from all departments.

Both the ESGSC and the SGSC considered this action and

were each unanimously in favour of eliminating the ESGSC.
