I have received a recommendation from the Faculty 

of Education which states: 

"We recommend that the Faculty of Education 

request the Academic Vice President to apprise 

Senate of the progress which has been made 

with respect to the development of programs in 

the Educational Foundations Centre and of the 

procedures that the Faculty is following in 

developing a final proposal for Senate's scrutiny 

•

?

and, in the light of the foregoing,Senate be 

requested to extend by one (1) month the time 

limit set in the Senate motion of March 16th, 1970." 

In support of this recommendation I would state that I have 

been following with interest and care the development of a 

program by faculty within the Educational Foundations Centre 

over the past few months. A proposal developed by this group 

has been discussed internally in the Centre and also with the 

Professional Development program faculty in the Faculty of 

Education. I think it would be a fair comment to say that the 

proposals have not been universally and unanimously accepted 

but it seems to me important that the resolution of this matter 

by Senate be delayed until further interactions and rewritings 

of the recommendations have taken place. In particular, the 

possibility has been raised that some at least of the Educational 

Foundations Centre's curriculum proposals might be implemented 

as University programs rather than as Faculty of Education programs; 

it is important that other areas in the University be allowed to 

comment on the validity of such a proposal and others before the 

matter is resolved at Senate. I intend to move therefore that 

Senate agree to a postponement for one month of consideration of 

possible reorganization of the Faculty of Education as set out 

in the Senate motion of March 16, 1970.
