SENATE COMMITTEE ON UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES 

From.................................... 

JANUARY 20, 1984 

Date

......................................................

In 1973 Senate approved Paper S.73-125 which provided that any course 

not offered within a six semester period be deleted from the Calendar unless 

adequate justification for retaining the course is presented, with the Senate 

Committee on Undergraduate Studies charged with reviewing course offerings under 

this ruling and making appropriate recommendations to Senate. 

Departments were informed by the Registrar of the courses requiring 

review, Deans of Faculties and Chairmen of Faculty Curriculum Committees were 

provided with the same information. Departments were requested to respond to 

the notice of intention to delete with the responses to be provided to the 

Secretary of SCUS and copies to the Faculty Deans. 

At its meeting of January 17, 1984 the Senate Committee on Undergraduate 

Studies reviewed responses. 

?

In many instances there was agreement by the 

Department concerned that courses be deleted; in some instances the committee 

was satisfied that there was adequate justification for retaining some courses; 

.

?

in some instances the committee did not accept that there was justification for 

retention and recommends deletion. 

Some courses were accepted for retention at the present time whilst 

consideration is being given program review, with expectation that a number of 

those courses will be replaced or discontinued. Notations will be made in Calendar 

to ensure that students are not mislead about some courses as to potential frequency 

of offering. 

The motion below contains those courses where the Department has requested 

deletion, some courses where the Department requested retention and motion for 

retention was made at the committee but it was not considered that the justification 

was adequate and the motion failed. 

?

In one case there was insufficient justification 

to warrant motion to retain. In two cases the Department concurred with deletion 

but other affected parties sought retention not supported by the committee. 

MOTION: 

"That Senate approve and recommend approval to the Board 

of Governors, that the following courses be deleted:

the past year, a

of courses were deleted

and several altered. 

This change involved the

deletion of a 3rd year

methods course and its 

replacement by a new

second year course. 

The intention was to

provide for a 'better' 

introduction to the

discipline and to allow

for subsequent senior

level exploration of 

methodological concerns.

The

lower level course 

has now been offered, and 

the intention is that thi;

senior course will be 

offered when Prof. P. 

Warwick returns from 

leave - after 85-1. 

While

it has not been 

scheduled specifically 

it is the desire of the 

department that this

course not he deleted.
