Next agenda -

n

At its meeting of June 

the Faculty of Arts debated 

at length the course proposals from the PSA department. It was pointed 

out that the problem of having to offer "mass" courses at the upper 

level would not have arisen had the department been allowed to hire 

additional faculty to teach upper level courses during the next year. 

From a focus upon the immediate problem of PSA, the discussion shifted 

to the role of budget n the program, or programs, of any department. 

Fear was expressed that lack of funds would continue to compromise the 

quality of the academia program, as well as to Lthiit the number of 

students taking courses. Therefore the Faculty of Arts presents the 

following resolution to Senate: 

"Be it resolved that Senate be requested to consider the 

effects upon the quality of education through the allocation of 

budgets by other than a weighting system." 

I would ask that the resolution be placed before Senate at 

the next meeting.
