    REPORT OF CHAIRMAN
    1. Paper S.71-80 - Selection of Department Chairmen
    A paper (subsequently numbered S.71-80a) from M. E. Eliot Hurst
    was distributed to Senators. The Chairman stated that the Vice-
    President, Academic had been charged to bring forward a paper con-
    taining a proposal separating the question of Departmental Reviews
    from the appointment of Chairmen, but in such a way that the spirit
    covering the selection of Departmental Chairmen, as outlined in
    Paper S.224, is retained. B. Wilson drew attention to the alternate
    procedures which had been suggested for the selection of Departmental
    Chairmen and asked that a motion favoring either one or the other
    come from the floor. The Chairman ruled that a motion could be made
    to accept alternative 2A, or a motion to accept 2B, and that if both
    were made there would then be a vote on which to debate first.
    Moved by K. Rieckhoff, seconded by C. Hamilton,
    "That Senate adopt Method 2A for the appoint-
    ment of Chairmen."
    B. Wilson asked that two minor errors on page 4 of Paper S.71-80
    be corrected. With these amendments the relevant sections read as
    follows:
    g)
    ?
    A quorum shall be the Chairman plus three others,
    at least two of whom shall be members of the
    Department faculty.

    The Dean will report the conclusions of the Search
    S ?
    Committee to the Vice-President, Academic. He
    also has the duty and right to attach his own
    advice to the recommendations.
    Amendment moved by C. Basham, seconded by C. Donetz,
    "That Method 2A, Section f) 2, 3, 4 and 5 be
    changed to read,
    '2. 3. 4.
    Three faculty members, elected by:
    i.
    the full-time faculty members of the
    Department,
    or,
    ii.
    if the full-time faculty members so
    decide, all those with voting rights
    at Departmental meetings.
    5. ?
    One student selected by the Departmental
    student union if the union exists, and, if
    not, one student selected by the Student
    Society. The student must be enrolled in
    a major, honor or graduate program in a
    subject area offered by the Department.
    At the time of nomination he must be in
    • ?
    good academic standing.
    In a situation where the foregoing procedure
    cannot be applied the appropriate Faculty
    Executive Committee will determine the compo-
    sition of the Committee members 2, 3, and 4.'"
    Question was called on the amendment, and a vote taken.
    AMENDMENT CARRIED
    Amendment moved by C. Basham, seconded by K. Gilbert,
    "That Section 2A, a) be deleted and Section 2B, a)
    be substituted."
    G. Basham said that there were advantages in a Departmental
    decision. K. Rieckhoff objected to the substitution in that the
    University has been moving away from the original Departmental
    autonomy concept. He was supported by B. Wilson who felt that a
    Department should not be put in the position where it could hold
    the University at ransom and that the University should be able to
    take action within reasonable procedures.

    AMENDED MAIN MOTION
    CARRIED
    2. Paper S.71-81 - Report on Charge Concerning Referral of Paper
    S.71-51, Reorganization of Educational Foundations Centre and
    Approval of Courses
    The Chairman stated that he had received a request from Dr.
    C. R. Eastwood that he be granted permission to make a statement
    to Senate. As there was no objection from the assembly, Dr. Eastwood
    was asked to attend the meeting. The Chairman then called upon the
    Vice-President, Academic to introduce the paper.
    B. Wilson reported that the Academic Planning Committee had been
    considering the charge sent to it and had solicited briefs from the
    University community and had met separately and together with repre-
    sentatives of various groups associated with the present Faculty of
    Education. The Committee, he said, was of the opinion that Kinesiology
    and Fine Arts relate to the whole community rather than in the Faculty
    of Education, and that Behavioural Science Foundations and Communica-
    tions Studies, not being associated with the professional aspects of
    teacher preparation, would be better separated into a Department of
    Human Relations. The proposal was that there be separate Departments
    of Kinesiology, Fine and Performing Arts, Department of Human Relations
    (on an interim basis until such time as it prepares realistic programs
    with coherent structure acceptable to Senate), and the present four
    General Studies programs of the Division of General Studies (Computing
    Science, Latin American Studies, Canadian Studies and African/Middle
    East Studies), all within a new Faculty of University Programs. The
    Faculty of Education would then consist of a single unit for teacher
    preparation comprising the present faculty from Professional Founda-
    tions and the Social and Philosophical Foundations. B. Wilson asked
    for approval in principle and for ideas on organization from Senate
    which could be developed into a detailed report which could be dis-
    cussed with The Joint Board of Teacher Education prior to presenting
    to Senate.
    Moved by B. Wilson, seconded by J. Wheatley,
    "That Paper S.71-81, a Report on the Charge
    Concerning Referral of the Reorganization of
    Educational Foundations Centre and Approval
    of Courses, be approved in principle, subject
    to review of detailed proposals to be sub-
    mitted to Senate at a later date."

    ? S.M. 2/8/71
    K. Rieckhoff felt that the paper covered too much ground without
    outlining the academic justification and rationale. J. Wheatley
    reiterated that the Academic Planning Committee was asking for direc-
    tion and approval in principle from Senate and that a final report
    would be submitted within the next two months.
    C. Eastwood was then called upon to present his viewpoint. He
    read from a paper which he had prepared (since numbered S.71-81a) on
    Principles and Structure for the B.Ed. Degree and the Organization
    of the Faculty of Education. He expressed the view that the proposals
    suggested by the Academic Planning Committee would not solve the deep
    problems involved.
    In reply to a question on the thinking behind developing a Faculty
    of Education without departments, B. Wilson stated that a Faculty re-
    lates to a set of disciplines, and rather than restricting the Faculty
    of Education solely to the professional development program it should
    be encouraged to develop a greater amo-unt -o-f education areas of study.
    Of?
    Lengthy discussion followed on the concept of the Faculty of
    University Programs, the rights and responsibilities of departments,
    and the justification for the inclusion of Fine and Performing Arts
    and Kinesiology within that Faculty.
    Amendment was moved by K. Rieckhoff, seconded by R. Carlson,
    "That the principle that Kinesiology be
    placed in the proposed Faculty of University
    Programs be rejected."
    Question was called, and a vote taken.
    AMENDMENT FAILED
    Amendment was moved by K. Rieckhoff, seconded by R. Carlson,
    "That Human Relations not be formed as a
    Department within the proposed Faculty of
    University Programs."
    R. Carlson said he would require a clear cut rationale before
    he could accept the proposal as outlined.
    Question was called, and a vote taken.
    AMENDMENT FAILED
    Amendment was moved by P. Wagner, seconded by K. Gilbert,
    "That the Academic Planning Committee be
    enjoined to refrain from using the term
    'Faculty of University Programs' and that
    it find a more suitable title."

    R. Bradley asked that recommendation A.6 on Department member-
    ship be altered to read, "Chairmen of each Departmental Graduate
    Studies Committee or their qualified designates," and this was ac-
    cepted by the Dean of Graduate Studies.

    Senate stated that the Registrar, by the nature of duties involved,
    should have an impartial position on the Committee.

    The Chairman asked if anyone objected to the deletion of Note
    (iii) in Section B of Paper S.71-85 rather than put it to a vote.
    As there was no objection, that section was also deleted.
    B. Wilson expressed concern about the use of the term Associate
    Dean when such appointment is not in effect, and J. Wheatley agreed
    that this could be replaced with "designate." As there was no ob-
    jection, the Chairman stated that the change was made.

    Policy, as outlined in Paper S.71-86, for a
    trial period to begin as soon as possible
    and to end at the end of the Spring semester,
    1972."
    K. Gilbert enquired why the Senate Library Committee was re-
    commending radical changes to a system which had strong student
    support as shown in the charts accompanying the library question-
    naire. He read from a letter sent by the Executive Council of the
    Student Society to the Chairman of the Senate Library Committee
    indicating disagreement with the new proposals. C. Hamilton, a
    member of the Senate Library Committee, responded, stating there had
    been many areas of discontent, that attempts were being made to
    assure parity among patrons but also to recognize that there are
    differing needs among library users. K. Rieckhoff expressed some
    misgivings with the proposals but expressed general support.
    Amendment was moved by C. Basham, seconded by T. Mallinson,
    "That page 4, item 1, lines 2 and 3 be changed

    D. Sullivan enquired as to the meaning of "materials" in item 7
    and the Librarian indicated maps, pamphlets, tapes and books. The
    enquirer suggested this be set forth in detail in the section. He
    further enquired as to what would happen if an individual who owed
    money did not pay. D. Baird indicated he personally would send a
    letter to the offender, with a copy to the Vice-President, Academic,
    and that if payment were not made he might then refer the matter to a
    collection agency. D. Sullivan expressed strongly that this should be
    fully stated in the policy. C. Hamilton felt there would be few of-
    fenders under the new policy, that when persons receive a library card
    they are agreeing to follow the library rules, and that possibly a
    section on this point should be included.
    D. Sullivan enquired of the Chairman whether Senate could levy
    • ?
    the proposed fines and follow-up actions or whether Board of Governors'
    approval was required. K. Strand indicated further consideration
    would be required on these points and legal advice sought as the
    Universities Act was unclear.
    D. Sullivan was concerned lest Senate adopt another set of
    policies with ambiguities and hoped matters would be cleared before
    implementation.
    Amendment was moved by W. Hamilton, seconded by C. Hamilton,
    "That section 8 be added:- 'Where fines
    have not been paid within sixty days of
    having been incurred, accounts may be
    placed in the hands of a collection agency
    for recovery.
    It was suggested that action might best be undertaken following
    close of a semester as fines accumulate through the semester period.
    It was noted that the section allowed discretion.
    Several Senators indicated desire for an appeal mechanism and
    for strong action where required, with clarity in the document. It
    was moved by R. Brown, seconded by J. Wheatley, "That this document
    be tabled until such time as the Library Committee comes forward with
    a recommendation on appeals procedures and collection of fines," but
    to
    on further discussion the motion was withdrawn.

    K. Strand indicated that if the amendment on collections was

    R. Bradley referred to several sections and enquired if advance
    notice on items outstanding could be sent out. D. Baird indicated
    that this had been considered but would be costly. Information
    could be given to any borrower who enquired.
    Amendment was moved by R. Bradley, seconded by G. Basham,
    "That on page 4, item 2, line 7 the words, 'As
    soon as material becomes overdue' be inserted
    before 'a notice of'; and that on page 5, item
    6, line 3, the words 'As soon as material be-
    comes overdue' be inserted before 'an overdue

    Amendment was moved by R. Bradley, seconded by C. Basham,
    "That item 3, page 4, be deleted and the

    R. Bradley noted the use of "concurrent" in item 3, and felt
    this caused confusion. Deletion would mean that fines clearly

    in the next semester. He doubted that the faculty members who were
    listed as being willing to teach the course were in fact qualified in
    a philosophy area, and he stated emphatically that, in his opinion,
    this was not an experimental course.
    D. Sullivan expressed concern about lack of procedures and testing
    facilities to identify the success of an experimental course, the indi-
    cation of overlap, the necessity for consideration of all aspects of
    release time for faculty from departments, checking for duplication,
    and development of an adequate form for presenting such courses.
    R. Brown outlined the procedures he had followed prior to pre-
    senting the course to Senate. He said that at the time the course was

    submitted to him the advisory committee for General Studies had not
    been struck, and as an alternative he had sought the opinion of faculty
    members within the Faculty of Arts and had then placed the matter before
    the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies where it had been approved
    for presentation to Senate.
    In view of the reception by Senate, R. Brown proposed that the
    course be withdrawn in order that the proponents might consult with
    members of the Philosophy Department with a view to resolving any
    problems involved. K. Rieckhoff objected to the course being with-
    drawn, and K. Burstein was then called upon to address the meeting.
    K.
    Burstein stated that there was very little overlap between
    General Studies 075-2 and Philosophy 100, and he expressed surprise
    that the fourth course proposal emanating from the Division of General
    Studies should be subjected to the questions raised. He said that the
    prime function of the course was to encourage people to think.
    Moved by D. Sullivan, seconded by C. Hamilton,
    "That the new course proposal for General
    Studies 075-2 be referred back to the
    Division of General Studies for examination
    of the questions raised by Senate and sub-
    mission to the advisory board of the Division
    of General Studies before being brought back
    to Senate."

    R. Harper supported the motion to refer and felt that the oppor-
    tunity should be given to those interested in the proposal to enlist
    the aid of others in various Departments to develop something worth-
    while. K. Rieckhoff objected to referral of a course which was pro-
    posed on a one-semester trial basis. A. Turnbull was of the opinion
    that the course proposal appeared to be extremely interesting, useful
    and exciting and referral would undermine the concept of General
    Studies experimental courses. L. Funt said that great care should be
    taken in initiating programs within the Division of General Studies
    and that consideration should be given to ensuring proficiency of the
    faculty involved, and not to be competitive or overlapping with
    Department offerings.
    Question was called on the motion to refer, and a vote taken.
