Re: G.S. 302-3

?
G.S. 303-3 ?
Chinese Literature in Translation
Action taken by SCUS in its meeting of 12 November 1975 has
resulted
in
the referral to SCAP of the proposal to transfer
two CHINESE courses from General Studies to the Department
of Modern Languages. The courses were approved by Senate for
continuing offering as G.S. courses subsequent to initial
approval, first offering and subsequent review. However,
members of SCUS considered the transfer of these courses to
an established department to have implications for staffing
and, therefore, for resource allocation.
?
By copy of this
memorandum I am requesting the Dean of Interdisciplinary
Studies to provide SCAP with full information including
courses outlines, enrolment and staffing arrangements.
. ?
Furthermore, I am asking the Chairman of the Department of
Modern Languages to provide SCAP with a statement regarding
that department's interest in maintaining the courses, the
place, of these courses in the department's overall plans,
and anticipated staffing arrangements.
Note: The D.M.L. currently offers:
CHIN 100-3 - Mandarin Chinese I
CHIN 101-3 - Mandarin Chinese II

* The enrolments in these courses were initially limited to 30 students but
were opened up to additional students in response to the intense demand for
places in the course.
These courses have been taught by Mr. Titus Yu who presently is employed in
the Library on a full-time basis. He has been working for us at General
Studies as a Sessional Lecturer since 1974-1. He is in the process of
completing a Ph.D. degree in Asian Studies at the University of Washington
and in my
opinion
has demonstrated that he is an excellent teacher who is
fully qualified to teach these courses.
It is my opinion that it would make sense to transfer these courses to the
Department of Languages where they could be offered in
conjunction
with the
Chinese languages courses that are presently offered there. I do not see
this as a matter that would require extensive additional budgetary alloca-
tions.

Date November 20,1975.
Your memo of November 14th refers. Firstly, let me
point out that we should keep in mind that the Department
never actually decided to set up a program in Chinese but
was led to do co because of a grant given to the University
by the Chinese community. However, several courses in
Chinese were offered very successfully on a non-credit basis
before the University received this money.
The Department has recently received authorization from
Senate to offer the following Chinese courses on a continuing
basis (Chinese 100, 101 and 201) and has also been given
financial support to employ a Sessional Lecturer to teach
these courses over a two-year period.
Dean Brown's proposal to transfer 'The I Ching' and
•
'Chinese Literature in Translation' was carefully discussed
( ?
by the DML Plenary Committee on July 29th, 1975. Although
it was not unanimous, a motion to transfer these courses to
the DL was passed. These courses do not form an intregal
part of the overall planning of the Department since we do
not anticipate any development towards a major program in
Chinese in the future and must keep our priority orders under
consideration in this regard. However, there is still con-
siderable interest in them as service courses and the rationale
for transferring them to this Department which already offers
several courses in Chinese is evident to everyone.

I would be pleased to meet wit]: you to discuss the transfer of the Chinese
courses. I have already mentioned to Dean Smith that we are going to have
such a discussion and I have indicated to him that I would appreciate a
suggestion from him as to the possibility of transferring the courses and
the instructor to the Department of Modern Languages. Perhaps at your next
opportunity you would wish to raise this question with him to see if he has
given it any further thought.
hg, initial impression is that Dean Smith has no objection to this transfer
and will cooperate fully with us in seeing to its arrangement.
.r am sure that ','vu understand that: such a transfer: wi.li require the approval
of the
.
.Acdemic Senate of the University.
'I.will ask my Secretary to contact yours to attempt to arrange an appropriate
time for us to get together.
