Date April l8 ?
1973
On the recommendation of the Faculty of Education, the Senate
Committee on Undergraduate
Studies has approved the proposal for a Minor
in Early
Childhood Education, as set forth in SCUS
73-13,
and
forwards
it to Senate
for its
consideration.
This submission includes the following information:
(a)
description of the minor;
(b)
Calendar information;
and
• ?
(c) reference list.
It should be noted that this proposal
is one of a
number of minor
programs,
emanating
from
the Faculty of Education and envisaged in the
reorganization of
that
Faculty
undertaken
in the Summer Of
1971.
The
question of whether or not such a program constituted a new program
and
would therefore
have to be
submitted
to the Academic
Planning
Committee before transmission to Senate was discussed in SCUS
and
referred to the Chairman of Senate.
His
ruling was
that,
since the
submission of such minor
programs
had been envisaged in the reorganiza-
tion of the Faculty and that this program constituted a rearrangement
of existing courses to fulfil a specific purpose, it would not have to
be submitted to the Academic Planning Committee but must be approved by
Senate before it could go into effect. The Senate Committee on
Undergraduate Studies therefore submits this proposal to Senate for its
approval.
