JAPN 250-3 Conversation & Composition
In response to an inquiry as to whether or not the funding from the Nakasone grant would always be
available or if it would cease after a particular time; A. Brown advised that it is expected that the
grant would cover a period of three years. However, since the University, as well as the Province
in general, is consciously moving towards studies relating to the Pacific Rim, he felt it was
incumbent on the University to keep abreast of this kind of change. The offering of three basic
courses in Japanese is a very modest commitment in this area which the Dean's office would fund
from the Faculty 'soft' budget should the need arise.
A brief general discussion followed with regard to the priority of course offerings and inquiry was
made as to who would decide if new courses should be offered over the old courses in the current
curriculum and concern was expressed that the University was not able to afford so many new
courses. G. Ivany pointed out that Senate approval does not automatically guarantee additional
funding for new courses/programs and that the actual offering of any course or program is
determined by the Department.
Concerns were expressed about the grading equivalent attached to the bottom of the course outline
which was in no way representative of University practice as a whole and suggestion was made to
. delete that portion of the course proposal. R. Brown pointed out that the proposal was prepared, in
consultation with the Chair of DLLL, by a new faculty member in Communication who is an expert
in Asian languages and has taught Japanese language at the University of Victoria for some years; he
assumed this was probably a course outline he had used in teaching Japanese and that it was only a

separate Departments of French, Linguistics, and Spanish and Latin American Studies be
established effective 1 September 1988; and
that all other languages presently offered by the Department of Languages, Literatures and
Linguistics be transferred to the Division of Interdisciplinary Studies and administered by a
Steering Committee chaired by the Associate Dean of Arts; and
that faculty presently assigned to the Department of Languages, Literatures and Linguistics
be reassigned as appropriate to the new Departments of French, Linguistics and Spanish and
Latin American Studies; and
that the undergraduate courses and programs presently in the Department of Languages,
Literatures and Linguistics be transferred to the new departments and to the Division of
Interdisciplinary Studies; and
that the existing graduate program calendar entry be retained and operated jointly by the
three Departments, with the name of the Graduate Program changed to "Program in
Languages and Linguistics; and
that the existing Department of Languages, Literatures and Linguistics be discontinued"
In response to an inquiry as to why there was no Calendar entry accompanying the proposal, Senate
was informed that the Calendar material was rearranged last year in anticipation of this proposal
and it was now just a matter of splitting it into the three distinct areas.
It was noted that the Spanish and Latin American Studies area sounded potentially broader than did
French or Linguistics. A. Brown agreed that it was in fact considerably broader but the proposal
really brought together the two existing streams; i.e. Spanish and Latin American Studies. He went
on to say that the LAS program had been largely administered by Spanish in the past and the
Steering Committee of LAS had indicated a desire to be combined with Spanish should the separation
of the DLLL come into effect. There still will be a degree program in Spanish language and a
separate program in Latin American Studies.
Rationale was requested for separating into three departments at the undergraduate level yet having
the graduate program administered collectively. A. Brown explained that the graduate teaching in
the DLLL as it presently exists falls primarily into the area of Linguistics and it was felt it would
be desirable to keep the existing graduate program intact until such time as the new departments
can refocus and have sufficient time to work on what they would like to develop as new and different
kinds of graduate programs in their own areas. R. Brown referred Senate to the precedent for this
action with regard to the areas of Economics and Commerce.
Question was raised as to what other languages are being transferred into the Division of
Interdisciplinary Studies and if such transfer would increase the cost for the offering of these
courses. R. Brown explained that courses such as German, Russian, Chinese, Latin, Greek, etc. had
all been operated out of the DLLL because that was the language centre for the University but had
S.M. 14/12/87
Page 11
always been funded from the Dean's office. The only change would be that the scheduling and offering
. of the 'other'. language courses would be under the guidance of the Associate Dean of Arts. R. Brown
did point out that there would be some small increase in operating and administrative costs in order
to implement the reorganization; the departments are aware that these costs have to be kept modest
and are prepared to accept that.
It was noted that the support documentation referred to internal department discontent and question
was raised if this was the cause for the separation as a whole. A. Brown provided a brief history of
the beginning of the DLLL and the hiring policy adopted at that time. He pointed out it had to be
looked at as a noble academic experiment which didn't work out and that this proposal is designed to
eliminate that unhappy situation and provide people in the new programs an opportunity to pursue
and develop their own research interests in the way they should.
Question was called, and a vote taken.

Dr. L. Dobouzinskis, Department of Political Science, was asked to be seated at the table to respond
to questions. Concerns were expressed that the elimination of POL. 121 and POL 141 would leave
course offerings at the 100-level very thin and would drive a lot of students away from the
department because the 100-level courses were not in place to accommodate them. L. Dobuzinskis
pointed out that the content of these courses overlap considerably with courses now offered at the
200 level and department would prefer students to take the remaining introductory 100 level
courses before going on. This is not the case now where many students avoid the introductory 100
level courses and enter the program without having the benefit of the introductory course.

MOTION 1:
"that Senate approve and recommend approval to the Board of Governors that the
CGPA be "sealed off" at the time a degree or diploma is awarded by Senate: grades for
courses completed in semesters leading to the completion of a degree or diploma will
not count toward the CGPA in any program subsequently undertaken at SFU"
Question was raised as to whether or not approval of this motion had any implication to financial aid
specifically with reference to SFU Open Scholarships. V. Loewen, Director of Financial Aid and
S.M. 14/12/87
Page 18
seated at the table to respond to questions replied that he did not have a definite answer for Senate
but would suspect that it would have some implication. P. Kennedy, Chair of the SPCSAB agreed that
the issue was probably too complicated to address at Senate without supporting documentation and
advised that he would discuss it at the next meeting of the Policy Committee. Brief discussion
followed. It was noted that the Policy Committee would have to look at this issue regardless of the
motion on the floor of Senate and request was made that the Committee report back to Senate as soon
as they had taken a decision in this matter.
Question was called, and a vote taken. ?
MOTION #1 CARRIED
MOTION 2:
Moved by R. Saunders, seconded by A.C. Kazepides
"that Senate approve and recommend approval to the Board of Governors the
following minimum CGPA requirements for General and Honors Degrees
General Degree: The minimum requirement for graduation on the general degree
program is a cumulative grade point average of 2.00. Individual Faculties may
have additional requirements.
Honors Degree: The minimum requirement for graduation on the honors program
is a cumulative grade point average of 3.00. If the grade point average is 3.50 or
higher for all upper division courses taken, the designation "First Class" will
apply. Individual Faculties may have additional requirements"
Inquiry was made about the meaning of the sentence "Individual Faculties may have additional
requirements" and question was raised as to whether or not this sentence allowed Faculties to raise
the value of duplicate courses in whatever way they saw fit. R. Saunders indicated the intent of the
sentence was to include other sorts of requirements and a suggestion to strike the sentence from the
motion was accepted as a friendly amendment.
Speaking against the motion, concerns were expressed that approval of this motion would effect the
way students select their courses and programs in the future and would deter students from
experimenting with courses outside their subject area. It was also pointed out that the current
system is producing a good product that is well received throughout Canada and there was no need to
change it.
Further concerns were expressed that the new proposal did not make allowances for the student who
may do badly in the first semesters and then demonstrates significant improvement in the last 60
hours. Under the new proposal there is no way the student can leave that early record behind even
though they may have enough credits to make up for it.
E. Alderson, Chair of the Faculty of Arts Curriculum, was seated at the table to respond to the
expressed concerns. He presented Senate with a brief history of when and how the current
graduation GPA rules came into effect and indicated that under the current regulations it is possible
for a student to graduate from the University with a grade point average as low as 1.76 or 1.75
which is not the standard normally accepted for completion of a degree. He pointed out that this
proposal is only a marginal tightening of the rules and would only work to the disadvantage of
students who are clearly below the standards of acceptable University performance.
L. Salter agreed that it was desirable to create a minimum standard for graduation that will not
permit people to get through with a 1.76 but she expressed opinion that it was also important to
present students with a graduating record that does not penalize them for taking risks or for early
failures and she was uncertain that the present motion achieved both goals.
N. Swartz expressed opinion that a grade point average of 2.00 seemed to be entirely reasonable but
.

Page 19
he would like to see a specific proposal as to how that 2.00 should be calculated and suggested a
motion to divide these two issues might be in order. He further inquired as to whether or not if this
motion were passed the University would have a uniform algorithm to calculate the grade point
average. R. Saunders responded that the proposal eliminates the concept of the graduation grade
point average and that we would be going to a cumulative grade point average. He went on to explain
that 2.00 is already the regulation and we are proposing it be calculated as a cumulative grade point
average and there is a recognized way of handling duplicate courses within that calculation.

approval of this amendment.
That this policy be subject to annual review by S.U.A.B.0
R. Saunders introduced the paper by providing brief background information and asked
that N. Heath, Director of Admissions, be seated at the table to respond to questions.
N. Heath began by assuring Senate that the proposal in no way reflects on the quality of
instruction at Douglas College even though studies indicated that there was no
demonstrable improvement in grade point average following completion of the ESL
program.
It was noted that the proposal was silent on what remedial help is to be offered those
students who do not pass TOEFL or the TWE if the ESL program with Douglas College is
discontinued. R. Saunders advised that many colleges are now offering ESL courses and
instead of sending students who need such help to Douglas they will be advised where ESL
programs are available in the Lower Mainland and they can then choose where they wish
to go.
Discussion followed with regard to how the score of 600 was arrived at, how the study
was carried out with respect to students who have taken the ESL program, and the
security and integrity of the TOEFL test. Concern was raised that if the TWE were
discontinued and the program with Douglas eliminated there would be no procedure in
place for measuring English writing ability or any remedial help readily available. N.
Heath pointed out that the Educational Testing Service has spent several years developing
the TWE and it is highly unlikely that it would be discontinued. A decision to offer TWE
as a required component of the TOEFL will be made in the near future.

The Annual Report of the Senate Library Committee was received by Senate for information.
P. Kennedy introduced the report by providing brief background information with regard to the
reorganization of the former Senate Committee of Scholarships, Awards and Bursaries into the
three current committees and, on behalf of Senate, expressed appreciation to H. Weinberg for his
efforts and the many years he chaired the Committee as a whole.
V. Loewen, Director of Financial Aid,
was
asked to be seated at the table to respond to questions.
Concern was expressed about the elimination of three major scholarships at the graduate level and
it was pointed out that one of the reasons students take so long to finish their masters programs is
because they have to work and the elimination of scholarships and fellowships does not help to
resolve this problem. A second concern was expressed with regard to the the fact that mature
students who have not come through the college system have no access to any of the entrance
scholarships offered at the university and this was felt to be discriminatory. P. Kennedy indicated
he had not realized this fact and would place the matter for consideration at a future meeting of the
Policy Committee.
It was noted that all scholarships, awards and bursaries, including private scholarships, are
S.M. 14/12/87
Page 24
administered through the Committees with the exception of the athletic scholarships which are
administered through the Athletics Department. These are scholarships technically administered by
the University but over which the Scholarship Committees have no control. Superimposed on this
on the substantial scholarship fund is an additional amount extracted from the operating fund of the
University for the provision of athletic scholarships. A request was made that Senate be provided
with statistics and value associated with the athletic scholarships so that we can reasonably evaluate
the way in which that total scheme of scholarships fits in with the other scholarships that are
given, for example, in recreation.
A suggestion was made that the Policy Committee look at the issue and if they felt there was
something interesting that Senate ought to know about, the Committee could gather information and
report back to Senate.
It was pointed out that some undergraduate students with a grade point average of 3.5 were not
receiving the Open Scholarship and inquiry was made as to whether there was a limit on the Open
Undergraduate Scholarships. V. Loewen Indicated that students are entitled to the scholarship as
long as they have completed 24 hours and have a grade point average of 3.5.
