/'#'j 

Attached are fOur course proposals from the 

Departments of Political Science and Sociology/Anthropology, 

recommended to Senate for approval by the Senate Committee on 

Undergraduate Studies at its meeting of June 25th. These courses 

reached the Committee too late to be considered at an earlier 

meeting; and approval of the courses at the June 25th meeting 

meant that the deadline for submission of items for the July meeting 

of Senate had passed. 

As an interim measure, it is hoped to offer these 

courses in the Fall semester 1974 and Spring semester 1975 while 

the final program proposals for Political Science and Sociology/ 

Anthropology are being prepared. The reasons for this are set out 

in

the attached submission. It thus becomes necessary to consider 

•

?

these courses at the July Senate meeting so that, if approved, 

they may be included in pre-registration material for the coming 

semester. Since the August meeting of Senate has been postponed to 

the 12th August by which time pre-registration will already be 

far advanced, consideration in August will be too late. 

The Committee therefore requests the approval of 

Senate for the addition of these proposals to the existing items 

submitted by it under Section 5.3 of the existing agenda..

NEW COURSE PROPOSALS -DEPTS. OF 

Date JULY 4. 1974 

ANTHROPOLOGY 

At its meeting of 25 June, the Senate Committee on Undergraduate 

Studies considered the following course proposals from the Departments of 

Political Science and Sociology/Anthropology: 

PSA. 

480-5 

- Special 

Topics A 

PSA. 

481-5 

- Special 

Topics B 

PSA. 

482-5 

- Special 

Topics C 

PSA. 

483-5 

- Special 

Topics D. 

These course proposals are now recommended to Senate for approval. 

The Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies also recommends 

that, if the above courses are approved, the normal two-semester time lag 

be waived to enable them to be offered in the Fall semester. 

In presenting this recommendation, a number of points should be 

made. (1). It should be noted that these courses are presented for offer- 

ing only until development of the programs in Political Science and in 

Sociology/Anthropology. The reason for this is that, with the addition 

of new faculty in the Fall semester 1974, the Departments of Political 

Science and Sociology/Anthropology will be able to mount somewhat expanded 

course offerings and these courses are proposed to enable them to do this. 

(2). The Committee questioned the advisability of establishing, even on a 

temporary basis, new courses bearing the old PSA. label when that Department 

had been divided and when program planning for the separate Departments of 

Political Science and Sociology/Anthropology was well under way. The reason 

for approving the recommendation as it stands is two-fold. First, the courses 

are designed to provide additional offerings for those students already in- 

volved in the existing PSA. programs. Second, since the new programs in 

Political Science and Sociology/Anthropology have not yet been put into 

effect, the only designation which these courses could carry was the PSA.

In support of our request for special sanction for four special 

topics courses, PSA 480 - Special Topics (A); PSA 481 (B); PSA 482 (C) 

and PSA 483 (D), 

all

of which should be available for both the 

Department of Rlitical Science 

and

the

Department of

Sociology 

C

-

Anthropology, I 

would

point out on my own behalf 

and that of Professor

Mcwhinney (who is 

absent

in Europe) that the substantial increase in 

new faculty 

in

the Fall 1974 semester will leave the Departments in 

somedifficulty in mounting adequately varied programmes. 

The new faculty have been appinted in the expectation of 

new curricula being forirtulated during the summer, but these will not, 

of course, be available for teaching in the Fall of 1974, and it is 

unlikely that they will have completed all the appropriate revew 

procedures for implementation in the Spring 1975 semester. —It 

It is 

desirable that we give new faculty from the beginning the chance of 

teaching courses within their areas of competence and specialization, 

rather than some of the outmoded PSA offerings that will be dis- 

continued in . the new curricula. The request for sanction for one year 

will enable this 

to be done. 

I might add that both Professor Mcwhinney and I have been under 

considerable pressure from existing students to include new courses 

that adequately reflect changing emphases in the disciplines since the 

late PSA curriculum was approved. To employ these faculty in courses 

currently in the curriculum would be extremely wasteful and, as things 

stand in anthropology at least, the four new anthropologists who are 

coming would have to teach the same courses in the fall and spring 

semesters in order to be fully employed.
