BUSINESS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES
R. Brown referred to Paper S.78-79 - Search Committee for a Vice-
President, Academic and its composition, stating that he would bring for-
w:r(I a recommendation for election whereby each faculty will elect its own
i:ieil
ty representative rather than election by faculty members jointly of
Hie
iaeiil
ty members. P. Jewett commented that there would be no change in
use Present process for elections which are now in progress.
H1-:PORT
OF CHAIRMAN
P. Jewett provided statistics in connection with enrolments which
sIsowe(I a 7.77. increase in the head count in 78-3 (8648) over that in 77-3
(8027),
and a 5/5% increase in the FTE count in 78-3 (6490) over that in
77-3 (6150) for undergraduate students. Although the graduate student
enrolment figures are not yet final, it appears that the comparison will
show a -light increase this semester.
The President told Senate that she has been reviewing the report of
time URC and is grateful and appreciative of the work that has been done
to
produce the comprehensive report and to receive documented responses
to
her request for comments to assist in determining her course of action.
She stated that she has declined to act upon some of the recommendations
relating to administrative organization as this would be a matter better
loft to the discretion of her successor, as would decisions relating to
eqili table workloads for faculty.
Other areas of the URC report are currently under study by relevant
ommittees and the Acting Associate Vice-President has been requested to
xl)Iore frequency of course offerings, limitations on enrolments and the
whole matter of tutorials generally.
Shestated that it appears obvious that all faculties will have to take
0
i)It(tg(t cuts over the next two years; there will be no net faculty hirings for
the
next
two years except for emergent and new programs specifically funded;

cluding $180,000 from the instructional salary accounts, by April 1, 1979.
