BUSINESS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES 

In reply to an inquiry concerning the President's remarks and PACUP recommendations, 

the Chairman indicated that intent was to bring to Senate through the full committee 

process a mission statement in which many of the recommendations would appear but 

which would nevertheless be a statement from the President. 

4.

REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN 

i)

Paper 5.84-52 - Annual Report 

Senate received, for information, the Financial Statement for the fiscal year ending 

March 31, 1984. ? 

E. Scott, Vice-President Finance, was not called on to provide any 

further information or clarification. 

ii) Update on President's Advisory Committee on University Priorities 

Referring to the report of the President's Advisory Committee on University 

Priorities and the set of presidential recommendations which had been publicly 

announced to the University community, the Chairman indicated that a high level of 

consultation, discussion and debate was taking place at all levels and in all areas 

of the University. 

G. Ivany advised that a number of the recommendations in the form of motions were on 

the agenda for the next meeting of the Senate Camdttee on Academic Planning which 

was scheduled for November 7th. 

?

However, intent was to hold a general discussion of 

process and procedure and table all motions to a special meeting of SCAP on November 

14th which would allow for input from two general Faculty meetings (Arts and 

Interdisciplinary Studies) as well as from interested parties wishing to speak to 

SCAP. 

?

It is hoped that the motions can be acted upon at that time and proceed to the 

December 3rd meeting of Senate. 

It was stressed that the matters coming to SCAP refer to the reorganization 

recommendations in the President's statement and do not deal with budget cuts or 

discontinuation of programs. 

The Chairman reported that the Senate Committee on University Budget 

is

actively 

meeting and is in the process of forwarding recommendations to the President and 

Senate was reminded that the Chairman of SCUB was well disposed to receive input from 

interested Senators.
