Senate – Minutes of the meeting of September 19, 2017
SECTION I
1. Welcoming Remarks
The Chair began by welcoming returning, re-elected and new Senators to the first Senate meeting of the 2017-2018 governance year. She thanked Senators for their engagement and commitment to the University. She reminded Senators that guests and spectators are welcome to attend and observe Senate meetings. Regarding the use of electronic devices, the Chair noted that their use is permitted for viewing meeting documents, but that the Senate Rules of Procedure prohibit the recording of sound or images, and the communication or posting of Senate deliberations. Finally, she reminded Senators that, in accordance with the recommendations from the Ad Hoc Committee to Review the Livestreaming of Senate Meetings, a recording of the livestream would be accessible on the Senate webpage until the meeting minutes are approved at the following meeting.
2. Memorial Tributes for Chancellor Emerita Gretta Chambers and Professors Zafer Ali-Khan and Eleanor Stubley
The Chair read the following memorial tribute for Chancellor Emerita Gretta Chambers, which Senate subsequently unanimously approved:
McGill University is deeply saddened by the passing of Gretta Chambers on September 9, at the age of 90. Funeral services were held this past Saturday at Church of Saint Léon in Westmount, with a reception at Redpath Hall.
McGill has lost one of its great champions. Gretta Chambers was born on January 15, 1927, in Montreal. She graduated from the University with a BA in Political Science in 1947, at a time when very few women pursued degrees. In the 70 years that followed, she kept her finger on the pulse of the University, and worked tirelessly to make it a better place.
Gretta Chambers played many roles in the life of the University. She was one of the first co-chairs of the McGill Middle East Program, now called the International Community Action Network, a project built on the belief that human rights and social justice are essential for creating peace. She taught at the Faculty of Education. She served on our Board of Governors, and enriched the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada and the Montreal Children’s Hospital Research Institute with her wisdom and insights.
And, of course, she proudly served for eight years as the University’s Chancellor. Always the trailblazer, she was the University’s first woman Chancellor. It was a role that she dove into. She embraced every opportunity to learn about all corners of the University and its people.
She was particularly focused on students and their experiences. Long after her term as Chancellor had ended, Gretta’s presence at Convocation ceremonies could be counted on. It was wonderful to see her radiating such selfless joy for everything that the graduates had achieved, and excitement for all the places that their educations were going to take them. For Gretta, knowledge opened up worlds.

Senate – Minutes of the meeting of September 19, 2017
Gretta Chambers was committed to understanding and helping her fellow Quebecers. She was a pioneering woman journalist in print and broadcast media, in both official languages. She was one of the first journalists in the Anglophone media to take an interest in French-speaking Quebec and wrote a weekly column for The Gazette from 1977 to 2002. From 1966 until 1980, she hosted a weekly CBC radio show called The Province in Print. She hosted The Editors, a weekly public affairs show broadcast on CFCF 12.
Chambers was a political commentator for Radio-Canada and Radio-Québec, CBC Newsworld and CBC radio, the International Herald Tribune and CJAD, among others. She was a member of the Conseil de la magistrature du Québec, and chaired the task force on the Anglophone school network in Quebec in 1992 and the Advisory Board on English Education for the Minister of Education, Recreation and Sport.
In the words of a family friend and McGill alumnus, “She was a completely class act and a pure distillation of the cultural heritages which flow through Quebec.”
In recognition of Chambers’ longstanding service to McGill, and to Quebec, McGill awarded her with an honorary doctorate in 2001. The McGill Alumni Association presents annually the Chancellor Gretta Chambers Student Leadership Award to “one or more students who have demonstrated leadership qualities while contributing in a volunteer capacity.”
McGill was not alone in honoring Gretta Chambers. She was an Officer of the Ordre national du Québec and a Companion of the Order of Canada. She was inducted into the Academy of Great Montrealers in 1995 and was named a Commander of the Ordre de Montréal in 2016. Chambers’ other honors include the National Symposium on Official Languages Award and the Mérite Philanthropique from the Quebec Chamber of Commerce.
A friend recalled visiting Gretta in the hospital about two and a half weeks ago. Gretta was sitting up in bed. The day’s newspapers were spread out before her, and she was immersed in her usual keen analysis of the world’s events. The scene was “quintessentially Gretta”: She had an exceptional thirst for knowledge and an unstoppable drive to do good. McGill will miss her dearly. Merci, Gretta.
Senator Eidelman then read the following memorial tribute for Professor Emeritus Ali-Khan, which Senate subsequently unanimously approved:
It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Dr. Zafer Ali-Khan, Emeritus Professor in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at McGill University’s Faculty of Medicine.
Dr. Ali-Khan received his master’s degree in parasitology from the University of Karachi in Pakistan before earning a PhD from Tulane University in New Orleans and completing postdoctoral studies at UCLA. He became an expert in parasitology whose opinion on biopsies and specimens of lesions was highly sought by physicians across Montreal.

Senate – Minutes of the meeting of September 19, 2017
Dr. Ali-Khan enjoyed a lengthy and productive career, one that spanned 41 years of dedicated service to McGill University and to the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at the Faculty of Medicine. He held many titles during that time, including a turn at the helm of the Clinical Parasitology Unit at the Royal Victoria, where he served as Director from 1972 to 1978, as well as Chair of the Graduate Committee for the Department of Microbiology and Immunology, a position he held from 2000 to 2010. He retired from McGill in 2011.
A passionate researcher and teacher, Dr. Ali-Khan followed his vision to gain insight into the pathogenesis and possible means of preventing amyloidosis, a chronic and often fatal disease that disrupts the normal function of organs including the kidneys, the heart and the brain. He played a key role in enhancing the lives of many graduate students, and took heart in training them in the art of research.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to Dr. Ali-Khan’s children and grandchildren, whom he cherished dearly, as well as to his extended family, friends and colleagues. Dr. Zafer Ali-Khan was loved by everybody who had the privilege of knowing him. He was a true scholar and gentleman. He will be dearly missed.
Senator Ravenscroft then read the following memorial tribute for Professor Stubley, which Senate subsequently unanimously approved:
It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of our longtime colleague Dr. Eleanor Stubley, Associate Dean of Graduate Studies in the Schulich School of Music of McGill University.
Born in Brampton, Ontario, Dr. Stubley earned an undergraduate degree in Music Education from the University of Toronto in 1983, and became an Associate of the Royal Conservatory of Music (ARCT) in French Horn performance in 1984. She pursued graduate work in Music Education, first achieving a MMus degree from Brandon University, before completing her PhD at the University of Illinois in 1989.
Dr. Stubley came to McGill in 1988 as a University Lecturer, becoming an Assistant Professor upon receiving her doctoral degree the following year. She identified as both an educator and a conductor, with her professional activity involving philosophical inquiry into the nature and value of music as a mode of knowing, curriculum development with an emphasis on music by Canadian and women composers, and choral and instrumental conducting.
As Associate Dean for Graduate Studies, Dr. Stubley demonstrated on a daily basis profound devotion and fierce advocacy for students, learning and artistry, and was an influential mentor to countless graduate students. She believed strongly in giving back to the community and was a philanthropic supporter of the School, establishing the Eleanor Stubley Recording Prize in support of an outstanding graduate student’s transformative recording project.

Senate – Minutes of the meeting of September 19, 2017
An accomplished choral conductor and a thought-provoking scholar, she constantly found unique ways to bridge performance and research. As a conductor she worked with numerous national and international ensembles, engaging in commissioning projects and premieres that highlighted the music of Canadian composers. Her interdisciplinary scholarship, which expanded traditional musical discourses to include music performance and embodied cognition, is renowned for its innovation and the establishment of new ways to blend research and creation.
Dr. Stubley will be remembered as a vital member of the music community and a beloved colleague who inspired all those around her with her humanity, passion and courage. We extend our heartfelt condolences to her family and to the many students whose lives she touched.

Senate – Minutes of the meeting of September 19, 2017
She also mentioned that the University is expecting a 3.5% increase in registration from French CEGEPs and a 3.7% increase from English CEGEPs.
The Chair spoke about university rankings, reminding Senators that rankings are not scientific and are an imperfect measurement. She stated that McGill ranked 42nd in the world in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, which is the same ranking as last year. She indicated that McGill’s ranking had slipped from 63rd to 67th on the Shanghai Academic Ranking of World Universities, noting that this particular ranking employed a specific methodology focusing on highly cited researchers while being biased towards the sciences. Finally, she stated that in the Nature Index for Innovation, McGill ranked 103rd and was the top Canadian institution in terms of the influence of its research on patents.
Regarding government relations, the Chair informed Senators of a number of consultations. At the federal level, she reminded Senators that last year, the Government of Canada tasked a panel of experts, which included Senator Crago, to study funding for fundamental research. Further to the release of the Naylor Report in April 2017, the Chair stated that McGill is collaborating with universities across Canada on a coordinated campaign to advocate for the full implementation of the Report’s recommendations. She also noted that many members of the McGill community are participating in the discussions by writing op-eds, including Senator Hébert. At the provincial level, the Chair reported that the government is consulting with stakeholders about the implications of the legalization of recreational cannabis. She noted that the Bureau de coopération universitaire made a brief submission to this consultation on behalf of Quebec’s universities and McGill has begun internal discussions on this matter. She also informed Senators that Minister David had announced $23 million to implement a new intervention strategy on sexual violence, and that the provincial government planned to introduce a related bill in the fall. She noted that the University had already introduced the majority of best practices called for in the strategy, such as a formal policy and a single point of contact for survivors. The Chair also noted recent discussion with the provincial government regarding a new funding model for Quebec universities.
Regarding external relations, the Chair reported that Facebook has opened a new AI research facility in Montreal led by Professor Joëlle Pineau (School of Computer Science). She then shared that McGill joined a new working committee established by the Montreal Chambre de Commerce to develop and launch a communications campaign aimed at increasing public awareness of the contributions of higher education institutions to Quebec society. Finally, she indicated that McGill has hosted a number of community events this summer to celebrate Montreal’s 375th anniversary and Canada’s 150th, including the official launch of the Promenade Fleuve-Montagne held on McTavish street in July.
Regarding community relations, the Chair spoke about this year’s Homecoming, noting that one of the signature events will be the Beatty Memorial Lecture delivered by Professor Emeritus Charles Taylor on “The Challenge of Regressive Democracy.” She also informed Senators that an Open House on Campus Planning Initiatives will take place on October 11th to the 13th, displaying planning initiatives such as the Downtown Campus Master Plan and the former Royal Victoria Hospital site redevelopment project.
The Chair concluded her remarks by giving highlights of the kudos circulated prior to the meeting. She shared that McGill alumna Julie Payette (BEng ‘86) has been named Canada’s next Governor Page 6 of 11
Senate – Minutes of the meeting of September 19, 2017
General and alumna Jennifer Sidey (BEng’11) was named one of two of Canada’s newest astronauts. She congratulated the seven members of the McGill community who were among those named to, or promoted within, the Order of Canada, and the six members who were among the new appointments to the National Order of Quebec. She then shared that the Royal Society of Canada announced the induction of 89 new Fellows, nine of whom are McGill researchers and scholars, and 70 new members to the College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists, seven of whom are McGill scholars. The Chair congratulated Senator Michel Tremblay (Medicine) on receiving the 2017 McLaughlin Medal as well as Stefanie Blain-Moraes (School of Physical & Occupational Therapy), Marta Cerruti (Mining and Materials Engineering) and Kyle Elliott (Natural Resource Sciences) on being selected to the World Economic Forum 2017 Young Scientists cohort. Finally, the Chair shared that the Canada Foundation for Innovation is investing $4.2 million to boost 23 McGill research projects and NSERC is awarding over $35 million to McGill researchers in science and engineering disciplines.
The Chair then remarked that Senator Dyens is co-chairing this year’s Centraide campaign with Senator Rassier and student leaders and called on Senator Dyens to speak to speak to the campaign. Senator Dyens noted that there is a need to raise participation numbers to help Montrealers in need. He mentioned that it is possible to donate by payroll deductions and encouraged Senators to participate in the upcoming fundraising activities.
The Chair then opened the floor to questions and comments. Senator Richard asked for further information with respect to the review of the funding model for Quebec universities. The Chair explained that the government is looking to simplify the formula and revise the current funding approach that varies depending on whether students are classified as Quebec residents, Canadian non-Quebec residents and international students.
Senator Hastings thanked the Chair, Senator Hébert and everyone across Canada who is working on bringing the Naylor Report recommendations into the public view. He urged all Senators to participate in this public engagement activity, especially by connecting with their Member of Parliament. The Chair shared that Senators Crago and Arseneault have been coordinating McGill’s efforts to invite Members of Parliament to McGill to meet with professors, the research community and students.
In response to Senator Gold’s question on intellectual property rights, the Chair stated that the results of the Facebook AI lab research would be available to everyone as it will be open science. Senator Crago added that Professor Pineau has a contract with Facebook and clarified that intellectual property for her work at Facebook will belong to Facebook and intellectual property for her work at McGill will fall under University regulations.

Part "B" – Motions and Reports from Organs of University Government
Open Session
1. Report of the Senate Nominating Committee (D17-01)
Senator Manfredi presented this report for Senate’s consideration. He explained that it contained recommendations to fill vacancies on Senate Standing Committees and Committees arising from University Regulations.
On a motion duly proposed and seconded, Senate approved the recommendations contained in the Report of the Senate Nominating Committee (D17-01).
2. Appointment of Assessors under the Policy on Harassment, Sexual (D17-02) Harassment and Discrimination Prohibited by Law
Senator Campbell presented this item for Senate’s consideration. She highlighted that assessors are selected based on their knowledge and familiarity with issues broached by the Policy as well as with other University policies and processes. She mentioned that the appointment of three new assessors would increase the number of assessors under the Policy from 10 to 12, which is important to ensure an equitable distribution of the workload assumed by assessors.
Senator Anderson asked about the consultations that take place prior to submitting the recommendations to Senate. Senator Campbell explained that an email is sent to the presidents of the student associations, staff associations and unions, inviting them to raise any objections or concerns, either in person or in writing.
On a motion duly proposed and seconded, Senate approved the appointments of Petra Rohrbach, Ines Scharnweber and Tracy Webb, each for a three-year term beginning 1 October 2017 and ending 30 September 2020, as assessors under the Policy on Harassment, Sexual Harassment and Discrimination Prohibited by Law.
3. Report of the Provost’s Task Force on Indigenous Studies and Indigenous (D17-03) Education
Senator Manfredi presented this report for Senate’s information. He noted that the report was made available on June 21st in conjunction with National Aboriginal Day and thanked the Task Force and working group members for their commitment. He gave highlights of some of the work done so far to implement the recommendations, such as hiring a Special Advisor, Indigenous Initiatives, and creating a student recruitment position for Indigenous students. He also mentioned that programs providing financial and cultural support and pathway programs for future students would be put in place. To increase access to McGill, he noted that the University began accepting transfer credits from Ontario colleges and a new Youth in Care Bursary was created. He added that Senator Campbell will convene a workshop on the topic of youth in care and funds have been made available for two members of SSMU to attend the Blueprint conference in California. He also informed Senators that University Advancement has made fundraising for Indigenous student Page 8 of 11
Senate – Minutes of the meeting of September 19, 2017
support a priority and funding is being made available to support Indigenous access in the School of Social Work and the Indigenous Studies Program within the Faculty of Arts. Finally, he noted that hiring of new Indigenous faculty is also priority.
Senator Hastings expressed that providing representation to specific groups on the Board of Governors required more discussion. Senator Manfredi responded that the recommendation would be discussed by the Board’s Nominating, Governance and Ethics Committee.
Senator Lenetsky asked about the consultation process with respect to the renaming of the McGill male varsity teams, and specifically how consultations would involve Indigenous peoples. Senator Manfredi stated that the team name and McGill’s history of interaction with Indigenous peoples raises larger questions and he is currently reviewing the approach taken at other universities.
Senator Oke commented that one in two youth in the care system are Indigenous and asked why it was not acknowledged in the report. Senator Campbell responded that the Task Force recognized that Indigenous youth are disproportionately represented in youth protection and foster care systems but decided that youth in care remains a separate matter. She reiterated that the University is committed to encouraging access to McGill and supporting youth with experience in the care system.
4. Academic Policies (D17-04)
Senator Campbell presented this item for Senate’s information. She thanked members of the MAUT working group who worked on the revisions over the past year. She explained that the goal was to modernize the Regulations Relating to the Employment of Contract Academic Staff and account for the fact that several groups previously covered by the Regulations are currently governed by collective agreements. She noted that section 8 of the Regulations, which concerned Visiting Academic Staff, was put into a separate regulation (the Regulations Relating to Visiting Academic Appointments) given the unique status of Visiting Academic Staff at McGill. She further explained that the proposed Revisions to the Regulations on Retirement of Academic Staff would allow certain CAS to be eligible for the designation of Emeritus Professor.
In response to Senator Harpp’s question on the number of CAS at McGill (non-clinical), Senator Campbell stated that it is between 1,200 and 1,500, noting that the information is available in the McGill University Staffing Report. Senator Hastings asked that a breakdown showing the number of CAS by category and by faculty be provided. Senator Campbell responded that she would look into obtaining the information and consult with the MAUT working group. The Chair took this opportunity to remind Senators that feedback regarding the Staffing Report can be sent to Senator Manfredi as efforts are being made to streamline the presentation of the report.
5. Progress Report on Sustainability Initiatives at McGill (D17-05)
Senator Manfredi presented this report for Senate’s information. He noted that the report described the progress made on the seven measures identified in his response to the Open Forum Report on the Recommendations of the 2016 CAMSR Report on Divestment. Senator Mikkelson commented that the report does not contain any reference to divestment and then asked how the University
Page 9 of 11
Senate – Minutes of the meeting of September 19, 2017
would reduce air travel by academic staff. Senator Manfredi responded that he is working on a number of different initiatives, including purchasing carbon offsets for some of the air travel.
6. Annual Report on the Policy on Harassment, Sexual Harassment and (D17-06) Discrimination Prohibited by Law (2016-17)
Senator Campbell presented this report for Senate’s information. She highlighted that there was an increase in enquiries and complaints last year, noting that most pertain to the issue of harassment. She mentioned that most complainants were undergraduate students while most respondents were members of the academic staff. She noted that there was a relatively similar number of male and female complainants but an increase in the number of male respondents. She indicated that the majority of complaints/enquiries stopped at the enquiry stage but a significant proportion proceeded to investigation and determination by an assessor. She then explained that where founded, disciplinary action is imposed or sent to a Disciplinary Officer for further investigation and that administrative measures could also be imposed, whether or not misconduct is found. She ended by thanking the Senior Equity and Inclusion Officer (SEIO), the Social Equity and Diversity Education Office, General Counsel and the team of assessors.
In response to Senator Robaire’s question on what can be done to prevent complaints, Senator Campbell stated that part of the SEIO’s mandate is to encourage awareness of harassment promote a respectful and inclusive environment.
7. Annual Report of the Committee on Student Services (2016-17) (D17-07)
Senator Dyens presented this report for Senate’s information. He stressed that the Committee on Student Services serves as an advisory committee to the Executive Director of Student Services. He highlighted that the Committee’s feedback was instrumental in creating initiatives aimed at improving the quality and extent of the mental health and counselling services at McGill. He noted that the initiatives included extending the number of hours that doctors and physicians are available for appointments, doubling the number of physicians, improving the appointment system as well as adding a new caseworker and online therapy workshop sessions. Senator Dyens also mentioned that the Committee would be discussing the budget for Student Services. He noted that he is working with the Executive Director of Analysis, Planning and Budget to get more details with respect to the 5% overhead taken from Student Services and Athletics and Recreation, noting that it covers services provided to Student Services such as financial services, human resources, legal services, fundraising, IT services and insurance and liability. Senator Maciasz asked about the average wait time for students to see psychologists. Senator Dyens agreed to provide the information at the next meeting. Further to a comment by Senator Oke, Senator Dyens stated that, going forward, he will ask the Office for Students with Disabilities to present a report to the Committee on Student Services.
[Secretary’s Note: Currently, the wait time to see a psychologist is four weeks and priority appointments can be obtained within three days. Although wait times remain a concern, the implementation of the Collaborative Care model at McGill University eliminated wait lists, which were previously three to eight months. The wait time of four weeks is similar to that of other post- secondary institutions across Canada.]
