ON UNIVERSITY'-GOVERNMENT

RATIONALE

A task force on higher education has been established by the

Minister of Education of British Columbia. Its terms of reference include

a thorough study of the relationship between universities and government

expecially on the question of financing. It also is addressing itself to

the question of the present Universities Act and possible changes. The

time table for this task force is that a preliminary report in the form of

a green paper is to be released by the end of October. This report will

be circulated for comment and a series of public hearings are planned. The

ultimate goal is to prepare a final set of recommendations for the Minister

of Education for possible implementation in the fall, 1974 legislative

,

session. Since this report is due to be released in October and since it

is obvious that the Senate of Simon Fraser University should have an oppor-

tunity to respond formally, it seems appropriate that Senate take the action

indicated in the proposed motions.

MOTION 1:

"That an ad hoc committee be established by this University

to consider the paper expected from the task force on higher

education established by the Minister of Education of British

Columbia relating to the relationship between universities

ment of such report and recommendations pertaining thereto for

consideration by this Senate; i.e. a report on the expected

report."

NOTION 2:

"That the Simon Fraser University committee consist of three

members of Senate."

MOTION 3:

"That Senate for tonight's meeting suspend its rules on

nominations and voting to now nominate and elect the members

to this committee."
