Campus Planning Committee. 

Attached is the interim report of the Downtown Campus Planning Committee 

containing the objectives and principles under which a Downtown Campus 

should be established, and an outline of program types and areas which the 

Committee believes would be appropriate. 

The first page of the report contains the general principles which the 

members of the Committee feel are essential to the establishment of a 

Downtown Campus. This part of the report has the unanimous support of the 

Committee. 

The outline of program types and areas consists of an illustrative set of 

programs which could eventually be located downtown. The list is not 

thought to be exhaustive, nor is there consensus on all of the suggested 

components. In fact, there was extensive debate about the wisdom of having 

any non-professional undergraduate programming downtown at all, and two 

members of the Committee finally voted against the inclusion of the Bachelor 

of Liberal Studies. On the other hand, the majority of the Committee felt 

that the inclusion of this program would provide an important academic 

balance to the Downtown Campus. 

There is strong unanimous support for the idea of a Centre for Advanced 

Professional Studies. 

The programs which eventually might be developed 

within this category will likely be the heart of the Downtown Campus. 

There is also general support for the School for Continuing Studies. The 

idea here is that the School will support the programs offered by the two 

Centres, in addition to those programs being offered from other main campus 

departments. 

Finally, we envision that any program started downtown will have to be phased 

into operation as resources become available.

DOWNTOWN CAMPUS PLANNING COMMTTI'EE 

INTERIM REPORT 

PREAMBLE 

The need for the establishment of an SFU downtown campus has been accepted 

in principle by Senate (S.83-45 IV). The present Downtown Campus Planning 

Committee was struck by Senate to determine objectives for a downtown campus 

and to outline program types and areas. All objectives are encompassed within 

two essential and overriding principles, these being: 

- all programs are of high academic quality and integrity and compatible 

with Simon Fraser University's commitment to excellence; 

- the implementation of plans for a downtown campus are contingent upon 

the availability of sufficient private and designated funding, together 

with anticipated new and non-credit program revenue, for the establish- 

ment and continuance of programs. Such implementation should not be 

detrimental to present SFU programs and budgets. 

Nothing hereinafter stated is intended or should be interpreted as an erosion 

of these principles. 

RECOMMENDATIONS 

(a)

That the programs developed for the SFU downtown campus extend and enrich 

the present programs at Simon Fraser University. 

(b)

That the downtown programs not duplicate or conflict with those on the 

SFU campus. 

(c)

That programs developed downtown will be those whose character and 

objectives will be enhanced and strengthened by a downtown location. 

(d)

That programs developed downtown should be responsive to the specific 

needs and interests of the urban centre's institutions and population. 

(e)

That programs be consistent with SFU's academic mission. 

CONDITIONS GOVERNING PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION 

(a)

All downtown programs are subject to the approval of the SFU Senate 

and Board of Governors. 

(b)

Programs will be implemented when the resources required to ensure 

their quality are judged to be assured. Programs will be developed in 

a way such that they can be phased in over time as resources become 

available.
