I shall introduce the following notion at the next meeting of the

S.C,.S.C.:

Motion

The Director of Natural Resources Management Programme, as de facto

Chairman of the Graduate Programme Corrrnittee, be a voting member of

the Senate Graduate Studies Coirrnittee.

Rationale

The terms of reference of the Senate Graduate Studies Committee specify

membership to include the Chairman of each Departmental Graduate Programme

Carimittee. * The M. R.M. Progranire differs from other graduate programmes

in that it is not part of another department or departments who are

represented on the S.G.S.C. Furthermore, M.R.M. now has over 40 graduate

students and seven full or part-time faculty. Hence, it is a major

graduate programme, but is unrepresented on the

S.G.S.C.

In my opinion, it is inappropriate for such a large graduate programme

to remain unrepresented on the S.G.S.C. and I strongly endorse the Faculty's

request for this matter to be considered.

*The exception is that the Faculties of Education and Business

Administration are entitled to two representatives elected by and

from their Faculty Graduate Studies Committees.
