qERQN1PL0GY PROPOSAL 

November 26th, 198]. 

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

This is 

to

provide Senate with additional background information on the 

proposal for a Diploma Program in Gerontology. The following points summarize the 

background of the proposal: 

1.

The proposal originated in.anàdhocCommittee chaired by Dean J. Blaney with the 

following membership: Ames, Chow, Fattah, Gutman, Herzog, Horsfall, Manley-Casimir, 

Diewert. The key person on this committee was Dr. Gloria Gutman, a specialist 

in gerontology who has a term appointment jointly between Continuing Studies and 

Psychology. 

2.

The ad-hoc Committee studied the need for a program in B.C. and similar programs 

at other institutions. They determined that initially, the greatest need was 

for a Diploma and the attached proposal was developed to meet that need. 

3.

The ad-hoc Committee recommended that the program be administered by the Faculty 

of Interdisciplinary Studies and consequently the Committee was reconstituted as 

a Committee of that Faculty and Professor Ezzat Fattah took over as Chairman. 

• ? 

The Faculty home proposed for the Program is not considered to be crucial. 

4.

When the proposal was considered by SCAP, it was emphasized that while we expect 

that it will be submitted to UCBC with a request for New and Emergent Program 

Funding we are also exploring other possible sources of funding. These sources 

include private donors and foundations. Research support in the area of gerontology 

has been requested In a strategic grant request to SSHRC. It is understood that 

the proposed Program cannot be implemented unless satisfactory funding is forth- 

coming. 

S. The Program builds on a number of existing courses from several departments. 

It also proposes 2 new Gerontology Courses (GERO 300 and 400) and requires a new 

Kinesiology corn-se (KIN 461). In addition a new Kinesiology course (KIN 460) 

and a Criminology course (CRIM 411) have been developed as electives. Note that 

CRIM 411 will become a regular offering of the Criminology Department but that 

the other courses will only be offered after the Program is approved and funded. 

(General Studies course numbers may be used for trth1 offerings of the GERO courses 

before the Program is formally initiated).
