iii) Senate Committee on Agenda and Rules
a) Paper S.80-164 - Report - Senate Committee on Student
Representation
The chairman of SCSR, P. Armitage, and members P. Wagner and J.
Walkley were in attendance to support the proposal which had been two
years in development processes and involved considerable consultation.
The Chairman of Senate drew attention to the procedures it was
intended to follow in dealing with the report, as recommended by the
Senate Committee on Agenda and Rules, and as set forth in Paper S.80-164.
Under those proposals in the event that Motion 1 of the paper was approved,
there would then be motion that the report be approved and Senate would
proceed with discussion and action on the eight recommendations, and their
components, of the SCSR report seriatim. Under the procedures each of the
eight recommendations could be debated individually, with amendments if de-
sired, and amendments voted upon individually. When this was completed
Senate could then vote upon the report, as amended, in its entirety, and/or
consider any other appropriate motion.
If the vote on Notion 1 was in the negative, motion would immediately
be given as set forth in S.80464 as a notice of motion for debate and
action immediately at the December 1 meeting.
Moved by J. Munro, seconded by W. Litwin,
Notionl. "That Senate consider the report of the Senate?
Committee on Student Representation."
A number of Senators enquired concerning alternative ways of addressing
the report, with some indicating desire to discuss the report "in toto" but
without debating individual items or proceeding seriatim. Following dis-
cussion there was decision to proceed as had been recommended by the Agenda
Committee. W. Litwin challenged that the procedure was not in keeping with
statements made in the minutes of the last meeting and of decisions at that
time, but vote was undertaken and the decision of the Chair was upheld.
Some members expressed the view that failure to debate fully the individual
items would represent a breach of faith and be unfair to the Committee which
had prepared the report; others expressed the view that the report exceeded
the terms of reference of the Committee, that some recommendations were too ex-
treme and that debate on individual items generally would be non-productive
as the total impact of the report would not be acceptable to them. Some

MOTION AS AMENDED CARRIED
Reports from Faculties are to come forward to the Chairman of Senate
or to the Secretary of Senate in order that they can be appropriately com-
piled before transmission to Senate; that if there is to be reference in
the report from any Faculty for inclusion of any specific recommendation from
the Committee's report. it will be necessary that the specific recommendation
now being made be clearly stated and not merely noted through cross reference
to the earlier report; that the item refers to,a definite date for full imple-
mentation but any regulatory submissions require approval by Senate, and some
likely by the Board, before implementation could be entertained.

the standing committee on appeals) and that he has no intention of
relinquishing that position on SCAP. He added that the major responsi-
bility for planning should rest in the office of the Vice-President,

been accepted by SCAR and changes had been made by that body before sub-
mission to Senate. M. Mackauer was opposed to voting provileges for the
Vice-President, Administration.

of voting privileges as suggested. J. Munro indicated that the responsi-
bilities of the Vice-President, Administration already include a number of

Administration would be reluctant to participate in proceedings of the
Planning Committee and that voting rights should be given.
