If the F.cu1ty--re to be represented, I suggest that the
student body should io be represented. I would arrnnge this
through the cre.tion of ; ne'r office-tht of Rector-one which is
tr o
ition,1 in iny uniw.rsities in the United Kingdom And nt
Queen's in Can'.d.. The Rector
would be
elected by the current
student popul.tion for P
.
period of five or six years. He would
distinguished citizen resident in British Columbi. His
office xmd title
would be
largely honorary and his duties woild
include the giving of a Rectorial Rddress at least once e9.ch ycc.r
nd voting mczoership on the Bo;rd of Governors. He
would
not be
...responsible to or report back to the student body save in the most
generAl way, but ho would in . sense be the friend And advocAte
of the students in the firs of the University.
The President's Report (1961 - 62.),
Tho University, of British C.bia.
S
TO: Members of the
Senate
FROM:
Thomas H. Brose
DATE: August 1st 1966
STUDENT REPRESENTATION ON SENATE
That the Act ectablishing Simon Fraser University govern
.
-mont did not include representation for
students
is one of the
serious omissions in the document.
I think students should be represented on Senate, and I
thus
support this aspect of Professor Baker
2
s fine suggestion that
Senate proceed to create a seat for the students.
However, I think the person chloseh should be the students?
choice -- with no prior restrictions imposed by us. Only the
students can best judge who can best represent them. Further,
since Simon Fraser University has proclaimed itself in favor of
educational innovation, we should encourage this innovation.
Rather than reaching across the seas or the border for a precedent,
we have
the- opportunity to join those very few universities who
have recognized this generation's students
?
desire to be
involved
in their university. The students do not want the paternalism of
which much of past university-student relationships consisted.
There is no master-servant relationship in a healthy democratic
community. Those who wish to
continue
such a system were born in
theTong age. The university, in my opinion, should be a work-
shop, a microcosm, of the kind of society Canada is striving for
-- not a haven for tradition at the expense of the realities of
the
time in which
we live.
Therefore I wish to offer the following amendment to the
proposal of Professor Baker:
That the Senate authorize a seat under its power in
Sect. 23, (i), and that it designate that seat as the seat of the
student representative.
Further, that we request tna students to nmj.nate a persc
residing in British Columbla and to elect the
i
r representative
.
sometime in October so as
to have a
representative at the new
session of Senate.
Finally, the titlo of the rprsentative -- if we need a
title -- should
be the choice of the students. Let us create our
own
traditions.
