This Is the Format to Be Used For AGENDA ITEM NO: 8.1 UNIVERSITY COUNCIL PLANNING AND PRIORITIES COMMITTEE REQUEST FOR DECISION PRESENTED BY: Lisa Kalynchuk, Chair, Planning and Priorities Committee DATE OF MEETING: May 19, 2016 SUBJECT: Disestablishment of the three divisions in the College of Arts and Science DECISION REQUESTED: It is recommended: That Council approve the disestablishment of the Division of Humanities and Fine Arts, the Division of Social Sciences, and the Division of Science from within the College of Arts and Science, effective November 1, 2016, and that Council’s Bylaws be amended to reflect the disestablishment of the divisions and the divisional faculty councils. PURPOSE: The College of Arts and Science seeks to dissolve the Division of Humanities and Fine Arts, the Division of Social Sciences, and the Division of Science within the college. As these are academic units, Council approval is required. CONTEXT AND BACKGROUND: Before the implementation of a new administrative structure in the College of Arts and Science, effective July 1, 2015, the college’s senior administrative organization and the college’s collegial governance structure were in alignment. Divisional vice-deans for each of the Humanities and Fine Arts, the Social Sciences, and the Sciences were responsible for each division. When a new administrative structure comprising of a vice- dean, academic; vice-dean, research, scholarly and artistic works; and vice-dean, faculty affairs was implemented, the divisional focus by disciplinary area was lost. As a result the college sought to restructure its collegial governance to align with its administrative governance. CONSULTATION: Governance committee Although faculty councils approve their own faculty council bylaws, the governance committee actively encourages colleges to consult with it on any changes to faculty council bylaws. The governance committee met with Frank Klaassen, chair of the governance committee of the College of Arts and Science on January 14, 2016, to discuss the proposed changes to the College of Arts and Science Faculty Council Bylaws due to the administrative restructuring within the college and the proposed disestablishment of the three divisional faculty councils. The dissolution of the divisional faculty councils by the college is seen as an opportunity to create a more interdisciplinary, engaged, and integrated decision-making body within the college’s faculty council. A fundamental problem with the college’s collegial governance was apathy and the lack of engagement by faculty with poor attendance at divisional council and faculty council meetings. Although Council approval was required to establish the divisional faculty councils, due to the sub-delegation of authority from the college’s faculty council to each divisional faculty council, the disestablishment of the divisional faculty councils is a reversion of authority to the college faculty council and does not require Council approval. Council approval is reserved for changes to memberships of faculty councils. The disestablishment of the divisional faculty councils did not result in any membership changes of the College of Arts and Science faculty council. Planning and priorities committee The planning and priorities committee met with Peta Bonham-Smith, interim dean of the College of Arts and Science and Peter Krebs, college secretary on May 4, 2016, to discuss the proposal to disestablish the divisions. There was little discussion as the decision was carefully planned and discussed at some length within the college, and the decision to dissolve the divisional faculty councils had already been approved at the May 9 Arts and Science faculty council meeting, effective July 1. SUMMARY: The planning and priorities committee supports the decision of College of Arts and Science to disestablish the Division of Humanities and Fine Arts, the Division of Social Sciences, and the Division of Science as a natural outcome of the administrative restructuring within the college. The change reflects the college’s own self-reflection and desire to achieve a more effective governance model for academic decision-making. FURTHER ACTION REQUIRED: The November 1 date, rather than July 1, applies to the motion as the disestablishment of academic units requires Senate confirmation in addition to Board approval, as the divisions are academic units, and not solely administrative units, due to the academic plans of the divisions in IP3, the leadership of the vice-deans for the divisions, and due to the divisional faculty councils, which made academic decisions for the divisions. The disestablishment of the divisions will be presented to the Board of Governors on October 6 for approval and to Senate on October 15 for confirmation. All Council bylaws changes will be made as of November 1 for simplicity.

(Arch)) and Master of Architeture (M.Arch.). Part One of the document presents an overview of architectural education in Canada, while Part Two contains the NOI for the School and Part Three contains the NOI for the new programs. Saskatchewan is the only province in Canada west of the Maritimes that does not currently have a School of Architecture. Not coincidentally, Saskatchewan has far fewer resident architects per capita than any other province, with the exception of Newfoundland and Labrador. In addition, Saskatchewan is the only province in Canada in which non-resident architects outnumber resident architects - and they do so by a factor of approximately 3.5:1 (and growing rapidly). The direct economic effects of the shortage of architects in the province are clear, with architectural fees (in addition to sub- consultant fees, income taxes, and so on) consistently flowing out of Saskatchewan. In addition to helping to resolve this financial issue, there are a number of indirect benefits to the Province and the University of founding a School of Architecture. To the Province, a School of Architecture would provide new career and personal development opportunities to its young people. It would also assist communities in the Province in their development by fostering interest in and knowledge about design and the quality of place. Further, it would help economically in assisting in the development and growth of a design industry in Saskatchewan. And perhaps most importantly, it would allow the Province to be designed and built by Saskatchewanians. For the University, a School of Architecture would provide innovative teaching in a field that is currently almost absent (design), at a time when that field is becoming more and more prominent in society as a whole. Such teaching could be of value to the University as a whole, and not just to the professional programs in the School. The School would also contribute significantly to the discovery mandate of the University, especially those aspects of discovery that relate to the University’s focus on a Sense of Place. And by building and maintaining a significant range of outreach activities, the School will help to bring the University and the community together. Administratively, we are proposing that the School of Architecture function as a Department in the College of Arts and Science, with significant formal linkages to other areas in the University. There are currently eleven accredited schools of architecture in Canada, with a twelfth (Laurentian University) in development. Although there is a range of administrative arrangements, nomenclature and program type,

    McEwen School of Architecture Laurentian University Architecture Program Report for Initial Accreditation Submitted: September 15, 2020 MSoA Revised: December 3, 2020 Acknowledgments The McEwen School of Architecture acknowledges the Robinson-Huron Treaty of 1850 and recognizes that our School in Downtown Sudbury and the Laurentian University campus are located on the traditional lands of the Atikameksheng Anishnawbek. The City of Greater Sudbury also includes the traditional lands of Wahnapitae First Nation. We are truly honoured to have been able to work with so many inspiring Indigenous communities, partners, and colleagues throughout Northeastern Ontario since the School opened in 2013. Miigwech. This report has been compiled from a collective effort over many years, by a committed group of faculty, staff, students, university administrators and colleagues, as well as community members, who have played pivotal roles in the founding of not only a new school of architecture, but one that challenges the way we think about architectural education in relation to our Northern Ontario context. Many people from the School and the University have contributed to this report. I would like to offer special gratitude to our Administrative Assistants, Victoria Dominico and Tina Cyr, for devoting their time to this effort. Our Founding Director, Dr. Terrance Galvin, has provided invaluable guidance and devoted significant energy into the accreditation process since the School’s inception, and this report is no exception.

Using the new Green Line Light Rail Transit (LRT) project in Calgary as a platform for new ideas, the call aims to rethink the present and future of transportation. As technology advances continue to transform mobility, considerations of sustainable, economic, inclusive and accessible options for urban living are something not to be considered lightly. Public infrastructure and the systems that we create to facilitate movement within the urban realm are a design responsibility of human concern. Which leads us to movement. What is the relationship between the animate and inanimate as we define how we move? Can our children move freely and we feel that they are safe? How can a person with cognitive challenge get to a transit stop on their own? How do we begin to understand the Indigenous pre- railway history of this landscape? How do we ensure that design reflects and advances an inclusive city? What physical barriers might we shed? This call seeks ideas that explore how we move today and how, as humans, we will move tomorrow. 3. introduction ment THE CALGARY CONTEXT Calgary’s first transit was introduced in 1909 with the opening of the city’s History: For thousands of years, people of the Blackfoot Confederacy, streetcar service.
