    7. That the Faculty of Business Administration, as newly constituted, be
    charged to submit by January 1, 1983 a report to Senate through the
    Academic Planning Committee giving:
    a)
    detailed recommendations for undergraduate and graduate program
    modification and development (if any); and
    b)
    detailed recommendations regarding faculty staffing patterns and
    priorities.
    8. That the existing BUEC courses continue to be offered jointly by the
    Department of Economics and the Faculty of Business Administration, with
    the Chairmen of the two Undergraduate Curriculum Committees or their
    designates acting as a Committee overseeing their scheduling and offering.
    9. That the existing joint Ph.D. program in Economics and Commerce remain as
    presently offered (i.e. housed in Economics), with one member of the
    Graduate Studies Committee nominated by, and from, Busines Administration,
    and fields in Business offered as specialty options."
    Note: It is intended to continue to apply Faculty of Arts requirements (e.g.
    group requirements) to Business Administration degree requirements until
    such time as the Faculty of Business Administration has formulated and
    received approval of its own requirements.
    C. Hoyt was invited to join the assembly to respond to questions.
    Senate undertook, general discussion of the proposal with J. Munro point-
    ing out that faculty status would enable the Department to develop more
    effectively and R. Brown adding that existing programs would be fully protected
    by joint appointments. C. Jones supported the recommendation, while T. Arrott
    favored the concept of a School of Business Administration. F. Einstein was
    critical of the effect of a very small faculty within the University structure.
    K. Rieckhoff suggested that, as a number of departments are expanding,
    consideration might be given to establishment of a Faculty of Professional
    Programs to replace the Faculty of Interdisciplinary Studies for the housing
    of such entities. W. Cleveland agreed development of a faculty would allow
    pursuit of faculty interests and fuller development of curriculum tailored to
    the needs of students, but he was concerned about adding another faculty. R.
    Holmes contended that faculty status is necessar to rnee.t the demands of students
    for quality education in Business Administration.

    Administration, with the Chairman of the Department of Economics
    and the Chairman of the Faculty of Business Administration

    as a Committee overseeing their scheduling and offering."

    C. Gutman and E. Fattah were invited to join the assembly to respond
    to queries.
    T. Calvert drew Senate's attention to his memorandum which had accom-
    panied the proposal, which amongst other issues, suggested that external
    funding would be sought rather than requesting New and Emergent Program
    Funding from UCBC. Library holdings are considered to be inadequate although
    some core materials are available.
    Some Senators felt that the prerequisite requirements were unrealistic
    and E. Fattab stated that adjustments could be made when the clientele and
    backgrounds are known. G. Gutman expressed the opinion that successful
    candidates in the program will require a solid base of psychology and social
    sciences.
    Question was called, and a vote taken.

    a) Paper S.81-
    . 157-•Propo g ed
    .
    Revjsj6ns to Guidelines for Program
    Review: Senate Committee on Acdethic Planning
    Moved by J. Munro, seconded by K. Okuda,
    "That Senate approve, as set forth in S.81-157, the
    revised Guidelines for Program Review, as follows:
    REVISIONS TO GUIDELINES FOR PROGRAM REVIEW.
    As revised in Paper 5.80-166, the Senate Committee on Academic Planning has
    three major terms of reference. The first of these, the implementation of
    a system of academic planning, is presently being addressed by a series of
    planning task forces. The second and third involve reviewing and recommend-
    ing to Senate concerning proposals for new programs or major modifications
    S
    to existing programs and the review of existing programs for the purposes of
    assessment, expansion, curtailment or discontinuance. In Paper S.81-81,
    Senate approved guidelines for the review of programs by SCAP. Subsequent
    expressions of concern by members of the Committee and other members of Senate
    over the impact of increasing fiscal constraints on the operating of existing
    academic programs have led to the following proposal to revise the Guidelines
    for Program Review. It is also intended that SCAP will revert to the practice
    of closing its meetings during the final consideration and voting on program
    proposals.
    1.
    According to the definition of Universities Council, "A program is a
    sequence of credit courses leading to a University credential. A cre-
    dential is a diploma, certificate, degree or other type of official
    recognition awarded to a student by a University."
    2.
    Decisions concerning whether proposed changes to existing programs are
    'major,' and therefore fall within the terms of reference of SCAP, will
    be made jointly by the Secretary of Senate and the Chairman of the Senate
    Committee on Academic Planning.
    3.
    New Programs are to be brought forward for approval in principle well
    in advance of detailed program preparation. The purpose of seeking in-
    principle approval is to guide departments and individual faculty members
    away from program planning that is inconsistent with long-term University
    goals and resources. In-principle approval does not bind SCAP to recom-
    mending full approval under 6. below.
    Programs brought forward for approval in-principle shall:
    a) Have received endorsement by the Faculty and, in the case of graduate

    -

    ?
    SF
    programs by the Senate Graduate Studies Committee;
    b)
    Be accompanied by information establishing the need for the
    program and describing its impact on, and relationship to,
    existing programs;
    c)
    Be accompanied by an outline of anticipated development of the
    department over the next few years;
    d)
    Be accompanied by information concerning the objectives of the
    program, an outline of its structure, enrolment estimates, and
    resources required.
    4. When a program is given in-principle approval, SCAP shall assign one
    of the following priority classifications to the program, based on
    3a) - d), above: 'essential,' 'important,' 'desirable.'
    5. Once approval in-principle has been given, detailed program planning
    can commence. Liaison should be maintained with the Office of the Vice-
    President, Academic and Analytical Studies during the program planning
    phase. The information that is required for consideration of new pro-
    grams at the UCBC
    level
    is contained in the Program Coordinating Committee
    Guidelines. Program proposals should be prepared following the topical
    outline used in the PCC Guidelines. It should be noted that outside
    consultation and review are expected in the case of significant new
    programs.
    6. When a program that has received in-principle approval is presented
    for full approval by the Senate Committee on Academic Planning, the
    following information will be inctuded:
    a)
    A statement on the academic merit and importance of the program and
    its impact on other programs in the University.
    b)
    Enrolment projections.
    c)
    . Staffing and other operating budget requirements. The Dean of the
    aculty may be requested to indicate the sources of required new
    expenditures.
    d)
    Space requirements.
    e)
    Equipment requirements.
    In considering its recommendations, the Senate Committee on Academic
    Planning will follow the 'Criteria for Program Assessment' contained in
    Paper S.80-98 (see Appendix A to this memorandum). The responsibility of
    the Senate Committee on Academic Planning is to assess the academic merit
    of. programs but not to make a decision as to whether funds should actually
    be spent on the program. However, SCAP does have a role in assessing the
    reasonableness of estimated resource needs of new programs. Also, this
    information does interact with considerations of academic merit.
    ?
    7. ?
    The Senate Committee on Academic Planning will recommend to the President
    on the priorities to be attached to new programs as required (usually by
    March 31) by the UCBC Program Coordinating Committee.
    ?
    8.
    ?
    The Committee will, by January 31 each year, recommend priorities for the
    implementation of all new programs approved by Senate, Board, and
    Universities Council and scheduled for implementation in the next fiscal
    year.

    9. ?
    In recognition of the deadlines of the UC]3C Program Coordinating
    Committee, the annual deadline for receipt of new program submissions
    for final approval by the Senate Committee on Academic Planning will.
    be October 20.
    ?
    10. ?
    The Senate Committee on Academic Planning may initiate the review of
    an existing program: a) on its own motion;
    b)
    at the request of the Vice-President, Academic
    or the appropriate Dean;
    c)
    as requested by Senate.
    The Committee shall, when it initiates a review, approve the composition
    and terms of reference of the review committee, including the distribution
    of the committee's report. The review committee may include persons
    from outside the University. The criteria attached in Appendix A will
    guide the review of existing programs.
    ?
    11. ?
    The Program Guidelines of the UCBC Program Coordinating Committee are
    attached for information, Appendix B.
    The reason for the suggested revision in item 10 is to make the proce-
    dure for initiating, carrying out, and reporting the review of existing
    programs more workable. The provision of the UC]3C Program Coordinating
    Committee Program Guidelines is intended to make this information more
    generally available to the University."
