MEMORANDUM

To:

Senate

From: Ronald Heath

Secretary of Senate

Subject: Draft Minutes - Senate Meeting of

Date: October 16, 1992

July 6, 1992

At the Senate meeting on September 21, 1992, in the consideration of the draft minutes of

the meeting held on July 6, 1992, it was pointed out that the following sentence from Page

5 reporting discussions relating to S.92-45 was at variance with the transcript of the

proceedings:

"It was noted that negotiations are underway with the Ministry of Advanced

Education, Training and Technology with regard to special funding for the

SCES/SFU program."

The point is correct in that the statement was not made during the discussions at Senate,

but it was taken from the following statement which appears on page 5 of paper S.92-45:

"At the present time, the V.P., Academic and the Dean of Arts are involved in

negotiations with the Ministry of Advanced Education, and SCES representatives

with the Ministry of Indian Affairs, with regard to special funding for the

educational program in Kamloops."

The report from Senate to the Board on matters requiring Board approval was being

prepared coincidentally with the draft minutes of Senate. The report to the Board

routinely contains information for the Board relating to funding and this particular

notation was inadvertently transposed from the report to the Board into the draft minutes

of Senate.

Accordingly, the draft minutes have been revised with the offending sentence removed

apologize to Senate for this unintentional error in reporting.

It was also requested that the first sentence of paragraph 2 be revised from:

"In response to inquiries about funding, Senate was advised that the resources,

including those required for the Library, are basically in place to start the Minor in

Kamloops in the Fall, but additional staff and space resources would be required to

support the on-campus offering.",

to:

•

"In response to inquiries about funding, Senate was advised that the resources,

including those required for the Library, are basically in place to start the Minor in

Kamloops in the Fall, and that when the program is mounted on-campus, Library

funding for the on-campus program will be provided."
