The Academic Planning Committee has considered all

material so far provided which relates to the proposed split of

the P.S.A. department and noted the suggested procedures for

consideration of the proposal presented to departmental faculty

by the Dean of Arts and the Vice-President, Academic, and

recently reported by the latter in The Peak.

Although it seems clear that a de facto split

currently exists within the faculty of P.S.A. the Academic

Planning Committee feels that the material it has studied

does not provide an adequate base for developing a

recommendation to Senate regarding the proposed separation

of the Sociology/Anthropology and Political Science components

of the P.S.A. department. Consequently the Academic Planning

•

Committee has asked the two groups to provide such additional

information as it may require and has invited all interested

parties to present briefs or views to assist in formulating

the optimal solution. It is hoped that a final report will

be available to Senate during the Spring of 1973.
