APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA

The Agenda was approved as distributed.

APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES

The Minutes of the Open Session of November 7, 1983 were approved as

distributed.

BUSINESS. ARISING FROM THE MINUTES

Feilman indicated that in discussion at the last meeting he

had made reference to a particular department but this was an error and

reference should have been to a different department. A number of

memoranda issued following the last meeting were useful and the report

in SFU Week had sharpened the issues.

K. dida commented that when matter of this

ture, arie in the. future. Chairmen of the departments concerned be so informed.

REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN

It isexpected that the University will only receive in the

neighbourhood of 94% of the funding which it received last year

and attempts are being made to convey concerns about this to

Victoria. Indications are that the budget picture will not improve

and the senior administration Is therefore attempting to analyze

and evolve a strategy to cope with this situation.

The Presidential Advisory Committee on University Priorities has

been established and has begun Its work. The Chairman reported

that he had received nothing but praise for the composition of the

committee and for the quality of Its members.

The Shrum Dinner and fundraising drive has been extraordinarily

successful In that 650 people attended the dinner and close to $600,000

has been raised. Congratulations and thanks were expressed to those

personally involved as well as to those who have contributed to it.

dj Paper S.83-84 - Annual Report

Although E. Scott, Director of Finance, was in attendance to

respond to questions, he was not called upon to provide information

in addition to that contained in the Financial Statement for the

fiscal year ending March 31, 1983.

Geomorphology

K. Rieckhoff commented on the increasing number of new courses

being presented by various departments to Senate in spite of the difficult

times. He was concerned that courses in the existing curriculum which

may not be as necessary or as much in demand were not being eliminated

when new courses were being added. He felt this led to an unhealthy

academic situation in that students were unable to plan extensively because

courses were being offered less and

less

frequently and the multiplicity

of option which should be available to students was becoming non-existent.

Question was called, and a vote taken.

As listed on pages 3 and 4

ivi Changes in Major requirements

Changes in Minor requirements

W. Leiss pointed out that this proposal should have, in fact, been

accompanied by

increased course offerings and greater class sizes in the

core areas but because of dwindling resources the department has trimmed its

program accordingly and has had to turn away many well-qualified students.

Communication Studies is developing steadily in universities across Canada

and instead of enriching the program at SFU with new faculty resources,

current resources are being lost. He felt this was a prime example of how

the unjustifiably severe budget restraints imposed on the University are

affecting the academic and career prospects of British Columbia students

and he wished to go on record as saying that circumstances such as this

represent a disservice to the people of B.C. and he was disappointed that

this has been permitted to happen.

Question was called, and a vote taken.

MOTION CARRIED.

b) Paper S.83-101 - Business Administration

Moved by J. Munro, seconded by G. Hoyt,

"That Senate approve and recommend approval to the

Board of Governors, as set forth in S.83-101, the

proposed changes in regulations covering enrollment

limitations in the Faculty of Business Administration"

J. Munro introduced the paper by saying that the intent of the proposal

was to reduce the number of students entering Business and offer students

the advantage of learning earlier in their academic program whether they

would be able to Major in Business Administration so they could plan their

course and program selection accordingly.

C. Hoyt further explained that the grade point average criterion

imposed at the 60th hour has turned out to be more unfair to students than

the degree of uncertainly that the regulation was designed to solve in that

it has turned out that more students are eligible for admittance than there

is space for. Therefore, the intent of the proposal now before Senate is

to aim for a specific number of students after the 30th hour instead of the 60th

hour so that students would be assured of space in the program and if not

admitted they would then not have such a major investment in prerequisites.

-12-

S.M. 5/12/83

K. Okuda proposed a motion to refer the proposal back to the Faculty

of Business Administration for additional documentation; there was no

seconder.

6. REPORTS OF FACULTIES

There were no reports from Faculties.

7. OTHER BUSINESS

Referring to the exigency policy which had been circulated to all

faculty members in the University, H. Weinberg wished to clarify whether

or not SCAP.

would present a report to Senate for debate and questioned

the terms of reference which allowed SCAP to be charged with such an

important task without debate at Senate.

The Chairman stressed the fact that the paper in question was a

draft policy which will be discussed at length with the Faculty Association

and that both the Association and the dministràtion will be more than

pleased to accept individual suggestions and cothments on the policy. The

Chairman also reported that the Faculty Association had served the

Administration with notice of a grievance on the grounds that the draft

policy had to be negotiated.

J. Munro indicated that whether or not the plan to deal with a

particular financial exigency would come before Senate for discussion would

depend on whether Senate Action were required. However, the draft policy

would not normally be part of Senate approval ptocess but the terms of

reference for Senate allow debate on items respecting the academic

governance of the University.

8. NOTICES OF MOTION

There were no notices of motion.

INFORMATION

The next regular meeting of Senate is scheduled for Monday,

January 9,

The Assembly recessed briefly at 8:55 p.m. prior to moving into Closed

Session.

Secretary.
