BrendaZJ~J~~ Whiteside Senate Committee on University Planning Ad-Hoc Sub-committee on Accessibility and Affordability of Student Education

BACKGROUND

At the March 11, 1997 meeting of the Senate the following three motions were approved:

MOTION: that Senate establish a Task Force to identify and measure appropriate outcome indicators for the determination of the impact of tuition increases on enrolled undergraduate and graduate students.

MOTION: that the Task Force collect baseline and follow-up data to determine whether increases in tuition have an impact on the accessibility of the University of Guelph to potential students from varied socio-economic backgrounds.

MOTION: that the Task Force report its activities and findings to Senate and the Enrolment Management Committee on an annual basis.

The Senate Committee on University Planning recommends the creation of an Ad-Hoc Sub- committee on Accessibility and Affordability of Student Education to respond to the above motions in an appropriate fashion. The sub-committee will report to the Senate Committee on University Planning.

MEMBERSHIP

It is proposed that the membership of the task force be very small and to add to its membership as necessary for the task. It is likely that members will make use of resource people from: Analysis and Planning, Office of Registrarial Services, Student Affairs, and faculty with expertise in the area. The Chair will be elected by the members.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

The sub-committee has the authority to establish its own terms and conditions and to determine the material required for the task. The Senate Committee on University Planning has established some general terms and conditions:

1. Establish an inventory of existing data that could be employed to respond to the motions.

2. Determine the feasibility of responding to the motions using existing data sources. Define the methodology that would be used to respond to the motions. 3. If new data are required, list the data sources and the feasibility and costs of acquiring and maintaining the data.

4. If new data are required, determine possible funding sources for the acquisition of the data.

5. If, in the opinion of the sub-committee, it is not possible to respond to the motions as presented, suggest alternative options that would address the intent of the motions.

6. Prepare a proposal that outlines how best to respond to the motions and make recommendations to SCUP on how to proceed with the task. a) Committee Membership Changes '> The Senate Office has received a few resignations from members of Senate which has necessitated some changes to committee memberships.

(a) Membership of the Selection Committee for the Associate Dean of Graduate Studies

A Selection Committee is to be established for the position of Associate Dean of Graduate Studies. Faculty Policies stipulate the composition of this committee:

. Chair - appointed by the Provost . 4 tenured faculty members elected by the Senate - 1 student appointed by the Provost - 1 regular full time staff member appointed by the Chair of the Committee

The Bylaws and Membership Committee solicited nominations from Senators for the faculty representatives for this Selection Committee; the faculty need not be Senators. After a careful review of the nominations, received, the Bylaws and Membership Committee proposes the following slate of ; Senate representatives for the Selection Committee for Associate Dean of Graduate Studies.

Margaret Priest, College of Arts Doug Joy, College of Physical and Engineering Science Joan Norris, College of Family & Consumer Studies Kiyoko Miyanishi, College of Social Science

Biographical information on the nominees can be found further in this Report. As per Senate Bylaw D.22, Senators may propose nominations from the floor at the meeting of Senate in order to provide alternative candidates for the slate presented by the Bylaws and Membership Committee. Such nominations must conform to the established rules and policies of the University and will only be accepted by the Chair if the nominee is willing to serve. If nominations are received from the floor, a mail ballot will be distributed.

MOTION: that Senate approve the slate for the faculty members on the Selection Committee for Associate Dean of Graduate Studies.

(b) Changes to Senate Bylaws: letter of thanks to Senate and the membership of the President's ReviewlSelection Committee (a full report is attached)

MOTION: that the Rules of Order of Senate be expanded by the following insertion after point 3:

the Secretary of Senate shall forward to Senate any communication received by the Senate Office. Formal letters of thanks need not be distributed to Senators or read, but their receipt noted at Senate and a copy made available in the Senate Office. Communications pertaining to a particular agenda item or the mandate of the Senate should be received in the Senate Office no later than 48 hours prior to the Senate meeting. The Secretary will endeavour to distribute the correspondence to Senators in advance of the meeting using an appropriate communication vehicle. The decision of how to handle letters received after the deadline rests with the Senate Executive Committee.

MOTION: that point I under Bylaws and Regulations be expanded as follows:

"The Senate Bylaws and Membership Committee will put out a call for nominations for faculty, staff and students for the SelectionIReview Committee for President. It is the responsibility of the Senate Bylaws and Membership Committee to review the strengths and weaknesses of those nominated and of other possible candidates brought forward for consideration and create a ballot that it believes would best meet the confidence of the University community. Factors the Committee may consider when establishing the ballot include: appropriate representation from across the University community, appropriate gender balance, the experience of the nominees and their understanding of the position and the University's structure, and the avoidance of bias or perception of bias. The ballot presented to Senate will contain at least one more nominee than the number of candidates needed to fill the positions available. Senators may propose nominations from the floor at the meeting of Senate to provide alternative candidates for the committee. The person nominated must have indicated a willingness to serve on this committee. The candidate may be someone suggested in the nomination process and not placed on the ballot by Bylaws. The nomination must be accompanied by a brief biographical sketch in written form. If names are added to the ballot in the nomination process, it will he distributed by mail. The ballots must be returned to the Secretary of Senate within seven days (excluding Saturday, Sunday and University holidays) of their mailing to Senators.

I Changes to Senate Bylaws Report From the Senate Committee on Bylaws and Membership

At the March Senate meeting there was some discussion regarding the handling of two of the reports presented to Senate: the Tuition Proposal, and the ballot for the membership of the President's Review Committee. In both cases comments were made that either the Bylaws were not appropriate for dealing with these matters or that they were not sufficiently clear to outline the process. The Senate Bylaws and Membership Committee has reviewed the relevant Bylaws and recommends the following revisions:

(a) Letters to Senate

The Senate Office received a number of letters regarding the tuition proposal just before and on the day of the Senate meeting. The Senate Executive Committee was asked whether all of these letters had to be read at Senate. The Secretary had emailed many of the letters to Senators in advance of the meeting. It was not clear, however, whether this was sufficient. The Bylaws on this matter are somewhat vague. The only reference to letters is under (D) Rules of Order: 3. "Except as otherwise provided in these Bylaws, the following order of business shall be observed at all regular meetings of Senate, and variation from this order shall be allowed only by the affirmative vote of two-thirds majority of those present, taken without debate... c) reading of inquiries and communications, to be disposed of as read."

It was interpreted by some Senators that this meant that all letters had to be read (orally and at Senate). In fact, it is not Senate's practice to read ail letters received. Letters are dealt with differently, depending upon the type of letter received and the timing of the receipt.

I. Letters of thanks: The Senate Office receives letters of thanks from people who have been nominated for University honours. Normally the Secretary of Senate simply states the names of those who have sent letters and indicates that they are in the Senate Office for review. .. 11. Letters pertaining to particular agenda items: The Senate Office may receive letters regarding particular items on the Senate agenda. If these letters are received prior to the mailing of the Senate agenda, the Secretary will attach them to the Senate agenda. If they are received after the distribution of the agenda, the letters are normally read at Senate. The use of email by the vast majority of Senators, however, offers a third option of distributing the letters electronically in advance of the meeting. The advantage of doing so is that Senators will have a chance to read and reflect on the letters prior to Senate's consideration ofthe agenda item. The disadvantage is that if a Senator does not read the email prior to Senate, the letter is not considered by that Senator.

It is recommended that letters of thanks continue to be noted, but not formally read, at Senate. Letters pertaining to particular agenda items should, wherever possible, be distributed to Senators prior to the meeting of Senate to allow for adequate time for reflection.

The Rules of Order need to be expanded to clarify this process. It is recommended that Rules of Order pertaining to the receipt of letters be inserted after point (3) as follows:

I 4. The Secretary of Senate shall forward to Senate any communications received by the Senate Office. Formal letters of thanks need not be distributed to Senators or read, but the > receipt noted at Senate, and a copy made available in the Senate Office. Communications pertaining to particular agenda items should be received in the Senate Office no later than 48 hours prior to the Senate meeting. The Secretary will endeavour to distribute the correspondence to Senators in advance of the meeting, using an appropriate communication vehicle. The decision on bow to handle letters received after the deadline rests with the Senate Executive Committee.

In addition, to reduce the possible misunderstanding that all communications must be read orally at Senate, point c) should be revised from "Reading of Inquiries and Communications, to be disposed of as read" to "Inquires and Communications".

(b) Selection of Faculty and Students to the President's Review Committee

Regulation I of the Bylaws and Membership Committee stipulates that the nomination of Senate representatives to fill seats on a Selection Committee for President shall be proposed in the form of a ballot in closed session of Senate. It goes on to state that each ballot to propose Senate nominees to the Selection Committee for President should contain at least one more nominee than the number of candidates needed to fill the position(s) available and should be accompanied by a brief biographical sketch of each nominee.

In addition, Senate Bylaw 22, indicates "Senators may propose nominations from the floor to provide alternative candidates for any slate presented by the Committee on Bylaws and Membership. Such nominations must conform to the established rules and policies of the University and will only be accepted by the Chair if the nominee is willing to serve. Following the closure of nominations where there are two or more candidates for a position, a mail ballot will be distributed...".

It is clear that the present policy gives the Senate Bylaws and Membership Committee the authority to establish the ballot. After reviewing a number of alternatives to this model, the Bylaws Committee re- affirms the practice of a committee reviewing the nominations received and preparing a ballot of names for presentation to the Senate. The Committee does not support the model of allowing constituent groups to name a representative to the committee. The reason for creating a ballot containing a small number of names is that it helps ensure that the final committee chosen best meets the confidence of the University community. To do so a group of individuals needs to review the potential candidates and consider a number of factors including: appropriate representation from across the University, gender balance, avoidance of potential bias or perception of bias, the nominee's understanding of the position being reviewed, and an awareness of the University structure and governance process.

The Senate Bylaws and Membership Committee believes that part of the confusion during the most recent establishment of the President's Review Committee was that the Senate Bylaws were not clear on the process to be followed in the establishment of the ballot. Therefore, when Bylaws presented a ballot that did not include the names of all the people nominated (approximately 20 names), there was some unease with the process. One way to avoid this unhappiness would be to eliminate calls for nominations. However, without such calls, Bylaws would not have before it all the names of people willing to serve. This is not an acceptable solution.

The committee recommends that the Bylaws formally state that nominations must be solicited from the community for representation on this ballot for the ReviewISearch Committee for President prior to the ballot being established. The Bylaws need to be clear, however, that the Bylaws and Membership Committee will establish the ballot, taking into consideration the people nominated. Not everyone ) oominated will necessarily he on the ballot. For instance, if the Committee only receives nominations for six faculty all from the same college, the committee would likely consider the strengths and weaknesses of each person nominated and bring forward the name of one person from that college. It would then have to consider possible candidates from other colleges, even though they may not have been formally nominated. If the ballot simply contained the names of all of the people nominated, the election would result in a Selection Committee for President comprised of, potentially, faculty and students all from one college.

To clarify the process, it is recommended that point I under Bylaws and Regulations be expanded as follows:

The Senate Bylaws and Membership Committee will put out a call for nominations for faculty, staff and students for the SelectionlReview Committee for President. It is the responsibility of the Senate Bylaws and Membership Committee to review the strengths and weaknesses of those nominated, and of other possible candidates brought forward for consideration, and create a ballot that it believes will best meet the confidence of the University community. Factors that the Committee may look to when establishing the ballot include: appropriate representation from across the University community, appropriate gender balance, the experience of the nominees and their understanding of the position and of the University structure and the avoidance of bias or perception of bias. The ballot presented to Senate will contain at least one more nominee than the number of candidates needed to fill the positions available.

It is also suggested that the reference to nominations from the floor of Senate be clearly articulated in this section of the handbook, In this way, Senators will be clear that if they are unhappy with the ballot, for whatever reason, nominations can be made from the floor. It is recommended, therefore, that the following paragraph also he added.

Senators may propose nominations from the floor at the meeting of Senate to provide alternative candidates for the committee. The person nominated must have indicated, in writing, a willingness to serve on the committee. The candidate may be someone suggested in the nomination process and not placed on the ballot by Bylaws. The nomination must be accompanied by a brief biographical sketch in written form. Following the close of nominations, if names have been added to the ballot, it will he distributed by mail. The ballots must be returned to the Secretary of Senate within seven days (excluding Saturday, Sunday and University holidays) of their mailing to Senators. UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH SENATE Tuesday, September 9, 1997 REPORT FROM THE BOARD OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES Chair(96197): N. Gibbins, Microbiology < [email protected] >

(a) Proposed Revisions to the Academic Misconduct Policy at the Undergraduate and Graduate Level (a copy of the full report is attached)

MOTION: that the penalty for academic misconduct be extended to include the possible rescinding of University of Guelph scholarships for up to 2 years to be effective Spring, 1998.

MOTION: that students charged with academic misconduct be prevented from dropping the course(s) in question during the investigation stage. Students found guilty of academic misconduct and assessed a penalty of anything other than a warning will not be allowed to drop the course(s). This change is to be effective Spring, 1998.

(b) B.A. Articulation Agreement (a copy of the full report is attached)

MOTION: that Senate approve the proposed B.A. Articulation Agreement as presented.

Membership: Mordechai Rozanski Jill McCutcheon Connie Rooke Helen Hudson Brian Sullivan Virginia Gray Ann Wilson Nancy Robinson Tim Sauer Fred Evers Carole Stewart Robert Sheath Dave Beattie Jeremy Weinrib Nicola Calder Jim Pickworth Terry Gillespie Joe Mokanski Proposed Changes to the Academic Misconduct Policy

The Board of Undergraduate Studies is bringing to Senate two revisions to the Policy on Academic Misconduct. The Policy is found on pages 37-40 in the Undergraduate Calendar and pages 16-18 in the Graduate Calendar. Both proposed revisions reflect the University's commitment to upholding academic integrity by establishing penalties and procedures that are designed to discourage acts of academic misconduct. These proposed revisions have been reviewed by the Board of Graduate Studies. While the second item is not pertinent at the graduate level, the Board has approved the report.

1. Rescinding of University Scholarships

The Board of Undergraduate Studies received a request from the Senate Awards Committee to expand the range of penalties for cases of academic misconduct to include the possible rescinding of University scholarships.

At present, the probability of a student being charged with a significant act of academic misconduct and continuing to receive a scholarship is quite low. Normally, the penalty would be such that the student's average would be affected, and the scholarship lost. However, there is potential for this to occur because receipt of some of our scholarships is not dependent on high averages and some penalties specific to a course might not have a major impact on the student's overall average. In addition, some of the new ACCESS scholarships will have lower academic merit requirements than do our present scholarships.

The Policy on Academic Misconduct states that "academic misconduct is behaviour that erodes the basis of mutual trust on which scholarly exchange commonly rests, undermines the University's exercise of its responsibility to evaluate a student's academic achievement and restricts the University's ability to accomplish its learning objectives. The University takes a serious view of academic misconduct and will severely penalize students, faculty and staff who are found guilty of offenses associated with academic dishonesty, misrepresentation of personal performance, restriction of equal opportunities for access to scholarly resources, and damage to the integrity of scholarly exchanges". It would be inappropriate for a student found guilty of academic misconduct at this University, given our strong public statement, to continue to receive a University funded scholarship. Therefore, it is recommended that the penalties for academic misconduct be expanded to include the possible rescinding of scholarship(s).' The dean will have the authority to rescind presently held scholarships, and to restrict access to future scholarships for one or two years (Note: this time frame is equivalent to that of debarment for one or two years).

The Academic Misconduct Policy stipulates that the listed penalties are not automatic. A range of penalties is available to the dean who makes a decision based on the severity of the incident and the extenuating circumstances. Therefore, all students charged with academic misconduct will not necessarily lose their scholarships. In addition, if a dean recommends the rescinding of a scholarship, the penalty is appealable to the Senate Committee on Student Petitions. Finally, the penalty would not come into effect until the student is found guilty of academic misconduct (i.e., the scholarship would not be rescinded if the student is "under investigation"). It is only once a student has been found guilty of academic misconduct and the full apfieal process completed that the rescinding of a scholarship would come into play.

There are provisions to this recommendation. These will not be listed in the calendar but will be distributed widely:

1. The University will not require repayment of scholarship money already received by the student. Rather,

1 Scholarship is understood to include any University of Guelph funded award, including ACCESS awards and bursaries. the scholarship would be removed for subsequent semesters. If the investigation crosses semesters, the scholarship for the second semester would be granted pending a decision. .. 11. The student would be eligible for future scholarships once the penalty period is complete. Awards are often based on performance in particular semesters; students charged with academic misconduct who have paid the penalty should not be restricted from consideration for future scholarships. Students who receive an on-going scholarship would not receive the scholarship during the imposed period of the penalty but would have it reinstated once the penalty period has expired.

iii. This policy will apply to in-course University of Guelph scholarships only; the University has no authority to make decisions regarding external awards.

iv. The Senate Committee on Student Petitions will recommend to the deans possible actions that would warrant the rescinding of scholarships; these recommendations will then be embedded in the dean's guidelines.

v. Scholarship letters will make a statement regarding academic integrity and state that scholarships may be rescinded for academic misconduct.

Recommendation: that the penalty for academic misconduct be extended to include the possible rescinding of University of Guelpb Scholarships for up to 2 years.

Calendar Copy: Insert as penalty 3: the rescinding of University-funded scholarships or bursaries.

1 2. Students Charged with Academic Misconduct and Withdrawing from a Course.

There have been instances of students who have been found guilty of academic misconduct in a course and who have then dropped the course. By doing so, the student has avoided the penalty (usually zero in the assignment or zero in the course). Since the official transcript indicates academic misconduct only if the penalty is debarment or expulsion, these students receive no penalty for the offense. To address this concern, it is recommended that students who have been charged with academic misconduct not be allowed to drop a course during the appeal process unless the penalty proposed is a warning only. This recommendation is based on the following conditions:

i. If a student charged is subsequently found innocent, the student will be allowed to drop the course, even if past the drop deadline. .. 11. Students who are appealing a charge of academic misconduct and request to drop the course should be given consideration in tens of extended deadlines. As such, students who appeal a decision and are found innocent will not be penalized in any way for the allegation.

iii. Students who have been found guilty of academic misconduct must complete the course(s) in question. However, there may be rare cases where there are extenuating circumstances that would justify a student dropping a number of courses or completely withdrawing from the semester. A request to drop the course in question must be submitted to the Academic Review Committee which will determine if there are sufficient extenuating circumstances to warrant a drop. NOTE: it will be important that charges are made quickly if the incident occurs before the drop deadline. At the poiut where the chair of the department intends to forward a charge to the dean, the Office of Registrarial 'i Services and the Program Counsellor must be asked to put a block on the course, restricting a drop. A student who attempts to drop the course will be told to contact the Chair of the Department.

Recommendation: that students charged with academic misconduct be prevented from dropping the course(s) in question during the investigation stage. Students found guilty of academic misconduct and assessed a penalty of anything other than a warning will not be allowed to drop the course(s).

Calendar Copy

The following statement should be added at the end of Section 2: Formal Complaint Procedure for Academic Misconduct

Note: A student charged with academic misconduct in a particular course or courses will not be allowed to drop the course(s) in question during the period of the investigation. If the student is found innocent of the charge, the student may drop the course(s). If the student is found guilty of academic misconduct and is charged with anything other than a warning, the student will not be allowed to drop the course(s). If the penalty selected is a warning, the student may drop the course(s). The Career Development Practitioner Program is a joint university degree/college certificate program that has been designed to address the employment needs of the working world into the next millennium. This innovative collaborative program would add degree credit courses from the University of Guelph, Wilfrid Laurier University and the University of Waterloo to the existing Conestoga College post- degree, post-diploma Career Development Practitioner certificate program. Using a unique model, this will be a concurrent articulation agreement. The program will allow participants to complete concurrently both a B.A. from one of the participating universities as well as the Conestoga College certificate. This will allow the learner initially interested in career development, or undertaking professional development, to conlplete their degree and specific career training in a shortened time frame. The courses would be delivered through classroom format, distance format, or through a combination of both delivery methods. By building on the strong collaborative history of the partner institutions, this program effectively uses existing resources to allow students at all the institutions to take advantage of the program.

Continuing changes in the Canadian economy and their resulting effect on the labour market have resulted in a more prominent role for the career development profession as individuals seek out the services of qualified career counselors.' There are an estimated 100,000 individuals across Canada who identify themselves as providing "career counseling", with 40,000 located in Ontario. The majority of these individuals do not have appropriate formal training2 Quebec is the only province to have recognized professional standards. The profession itself has recognized the need for established standards for competencies, standards and a system of accreditation. The proposed Career Development Practitioner program would fulfil this competency need and would be unique in Ontario by addressing both the knowledge base and the competency base for the utilization of theory in practice. The universities would provide the theoretical knowledge base for practitioners and the College would provide applied knowledge and skills in career practice. It is expected that the program would initially contain at least 30 students annually.

Conestoga College is already an articulation partner with the University of Guelph B. Comm. Program for the Conestoga programs in Business Administration, Food and beverage Management, general Business and Computer Analyst programs. Other articulated agreements with Ontario Community Colleges allow for a transfer of 10-20 college courses (5-10 credits) depending upon the degree programs involved. This agreement proposes an allowance for only 5 courses (2.5 credits).

' Ontario Alliance of Career Development Practitioners (1995). Competency Model.

'Conger, D.S., Hiebet, B., and Hong-Farrell, E. (1993). Career and Employment Counselling in Canada. Ottawa, ON: Canadian Labour Force Development Board Conestoga College's Career Development Practitioner Certificate consists of 11 courses. This agreement would allow for an articulated transfer of 2.5 credits (5 courses)) for the college courses. Therefore a 15 credit (30 course) University of Guelph B.A. degree would be granted on the completion of the Certificate and 12.5 university level credits (25 courses); while a 20 credit (40 course) honours B.A. degree would be granted upon completion of the Certificate and 17.5 credits (35 courses). To complete the program, students would need to complete regular university BA requirements (with 2.5 credits transfered from the College certificate) and take the required University level courses as illustrated in Appendix I.

rn . provides a program that meets a real and pressing need for Canadians rn provides a flexible and seamless structure that will allow a student to be registered at one university, but able to take courses at the other partner institutions rn allows University of Guelph students to participate in the curriculum expertise of other institutions rn allows participation in a model of collaborative course development, programming, marketing and administration among universities and colleges that could be used in future projects rn provides a new cohort of registrants for selected Guelph on-campus and distance degree credit courses as well as facilitatating the creation of a new distance education course rn acts through the Open Learning program as a pathway for degree seekers while also fulfilling an important societal need rn allows students to efficiently complete both the degree and certificate in a shortened period of time rn fulfils strategic directions through learner-centred program development and delivery provides extensive collaboration among the four involved institutions establishes a model of open learning providing students with learning options to meet their specific needs rn provides access to professionals working in the field through the provision of sections of the program via the distance format ARTICULATION AGREEMENT Between Conestoga College of Applied Technology Career Development Practitioner Certificate and University of Guelph Bachelor of Arts Program

This agreement will serve to establish the necessary procedures and terms of agreement to allow for the concurrent granting of a University of Gnelph Bachelor's of Arts degree and the Conestoga College Career Development Practitioner Certificate.

SCHOOLOF LANGUAGESAND LITERATURES

A. Background (This background information was prepared by Professor Mary Cyr, Department of Music)

In September 1995, the Dean of the College of Arts initiated discussions of how restructuring of departments and programs could be accomplished, with a primary objective of directing more resources toward teaching and research. This process was driven by a significant decline in the number of faculty over the past five years as well as significant budget cuts, both of which have forced units to reduce their course offerings and increase class sizes, resulting in increased faculty and staff workloads. Because of the smaller size of individual departments, it was apparent that savings could be derived from a reduction in the number of Chairs and also by reorganizing certain staff responsibilities so that tasks common to all programs could be done by one staffmember at a centralized (or College) level.

The principal goals of restructuring are those that benefit teaching and research directly, namely reducing the amount of faculty time spent on administrative rather than academic activities, and reducing the financial cost of the College administrative infrastructure. Additional goals seek either to create or support existing academic synergies by strengthening the position of College courses and interdisciplinary programs and by increasing flexibility for present needs and future change. At the same time, it is also recognized that certain fundamental academic precepts must not be lost, namely the retention of disciplinary integrity, and retention of evaluation by peers.

B. Development of a Model for Restructuring

During Winter and Spring 1996, several committees and working groups carried on further discussions and eventually formulated three models for discussion by the College at large. In October, members of the College were asked to express their preferences among the proposed models in a ballot vote, and the result indicated a strong preference for a model in which the present eight departments and five interdisciplinary programs would be combined into four larger units called Schools. This model proposed that each School would include two of the existing Departments in the College of Arts, as well as interdisciplinary program@) with which its faculty are associated. The model also proposed that current departments retain their designation as such without retaining the position of Chair as the administrative head of

July 9,1997 Page 1 the unit.

In November, 1996, a report outlining this proposal for restructuring from the College of Arts was sent to the Provost, who forwarded it to the Senate Committee on University Planning. After extensive discussion, SCUP recommended that each newly-proposed unit in the College of Arts reconsider its configuration and the name of the unit, using the four-School model as a guide. Three possible names were offered for each unit (School of.., Department of.., or Joint Department of..).

11. PROPOSAL FOR A SCHOOL OF LANGUAGESAND LITERATURES

The Department of French Studies and the Department of Languages and Literatures subsequently established a Working Group Committee to prepare and present a report to help bring about a smooth combination of the operations of the two existing Departments, French Studies and Languages and Literatures, into a new School. It was hoped that by identifying and discussing potential problem areas prior to amalgamation, the Committee could make recommendations that would enable the newly constituted School to begin operations with a minimum of argument and friction.

The committee met eight times between 12 December, 1996 and 25 March, 1997 to discuss issues related to the proposed amalgamation of these units. A report of recommendations was prepared, which was accepted by both departments in departmental meetings in May.

The name of the new entity is to be "The School of Languages and Literatures". Within the new School, the present Department of French Studies will have the title: Ddpartement d'EfudesJLan~aises. The other language units will continue to be entitled Sections. Decisions will be made on the basis of academic merit rather than on the title of units.

A. Proposed School Structure and Location

The administrative head of the School, according to present university policy, would be a Director. The position of Duector is one that exists at Guelph for the administrative heads of Schools, and university Faculty Policies refer to Chairs and Directors as nominally equivalent. They are normally appointed for a specified term of 3-5 years.

Each language division (section or departement) will have a Section HeadIChef de ddpartement. The responsibilities of these heads will be much the same as those of current Section Heads in the Department of Languages and Literatures.

Currently, the Department of Languages and Literatures offers programs in Classics

July 9, 1997 Page 2 (Classical Studies and Classical Languages), in German, in Italian, and in Spanish at the undergraduate level. It is also the administrative home of the interdisciplinary program in European Studies. The Department of French Studies offers an undergraduate program in French. There are no anticipated program changes as a result of the collaboration of the two current departments in the new School of Languages and Literatures.

The School of Languages and Literatures will include 15 faculty FTE (5 in French, 3 in Classics, 3 in German, 3 in Spanish and 1 in Italian) as of Fall, 1997. A further appointment in French is anticipated in 1998. In addition, both departments rely extensively upon sessional teaching.

Both departments are located on the second floor of the MacKinnon building. The administrative office for the School will be located in one of the two main departmental offices on that floor.

B. Proposed Date of Implementation

Implementation will be accomplished in several steps. As of September 1, 1997, Alain Thomas, Chair of the Department of French Studies, will assume the additional duties of Acting Chair of the Department of Languages and Literatures. The normal term of Professor Thomas as Chair of the Department of French Studies will be completed as of December 3 1, 1997. He is prepared to resign the positions as soon as Senate has approved the proposal for a School, so that a search can be undertaken for a Director of the School. Full implementation of the restructuring plan is intended to take place no later than December 1, 1997, and earlier if possible.

C. Responsibilities of the Director

At the University of Guelph, the duties and responsibilities of Chairs and Directors are equivalent and are specfied in Faculty Policies, section N. The only distinction between the two designations is that aDepartment has a Chair, whereas a School has a Director. Selection of a Director for the School of Languages and Literatures will be conducted according to the procedure outlined in Faculty Policies, section L:5.08,6, and 7. The term of appointment is normally a period of 3-5 years and is renewable. Responsibilities of the Director of the School of Languages and Literatures will consist of duties in the general areas of (1) allocation and &ective use of resources (bqdgetary, personnel, equipment and space) within the School, (2) teaching, counseling and curricular issues (in consultation with Section Heads), (3) issuing reports, applications, and other documents from the School, (4) collaborative ventures with other departments and universities, and other external activities, (5) overseeing the hiring and evaluation of faculty and sM, (6) service on committees and as officialSchool representative, and (7) tenure and promotion and other evaluations.

July 9, 1997 Page 3 D. Responsibilities of the Section HeadslChef de dkpartement

The responsibiities of the Section Heads /Chef de dipartement will be similar to those of the Section Heads in the current Department of Languages and Literatures. They will: (1) convene such meetings of the Sectiodt Dkpurtement as are found to be necessary; (2) keep a brief written record of decisions taken within the SectiodDLpartement; (3) bring to the attention of the SectiodDLpartement members matters concerning the SectionlDepartement; (4) advise the Director of the School on SectionlDLpurtement budget needs; (5) co-ordinate teaching duties within the SectionlDLpartement in consultation with the faculty; (6) in consultation with the members of the SectionlDLpartement, advise the Director regarding the need for new faculty within the SectionlDLpartemen (7) act as Program Advisor for students in hidher discipline; (8) keep the Director informed of all business conducted on behalf of the School or University; (9) normally carry a full teaching load; (10) arrange to delegate hidher responsibiities to the Director or another member of the SectionlDepartement in the event of a prolonged absence, (1 1) hold the position of Section HeadlChef de ddpartement normally for a two-year term; (12) be selected by a majority within the SectionlDLpurtement or serve by a system of rotation agreed by the members of the SectiodDepartement. In the absence of a majority, the Director shall decide who will be the Section HeadIChef de ddpurtement; and (13) normally assume duties on September 1

E. Tenure and Promotion Issues

The Working Committee has proposed, and the departments have agreed, that the School of Languages and Literatures will have a single Tenure and Promotion Committee, chaired by the Director. Members of the School Promotion and Tenure Committee will be selected by vote according to JFPC approved policies. The new Tenure and Promotion Committee will review the existing guidelines of the two former departments. It will also work on a document entitled "Duties and Obligations within the School". This document will not pertain to the merit of faculty, but to the modus operundi of the new School. Evaluations of CUPE employees will continue to be canied out on an annual basis according to the guidelines in the CUPE Collective Agreement.

F. Department Committees

Unnecessary duplication of committees will be eliminated so as to reduce overall committee responsibilities for school members.

June 4, 1997 Page 1 In November, 1996, a report outlining this proposal for resmcnuing &om the College of .-!.ITS \vas sent to the Provost. who fonvarded it to the Senate Committee on University ) Planning. .After extensive discussion, SCLP recommended that exh nexvly-proposed ur.ir in the College of .~KSreconsider its configuration and the name of the unit. using rhe four-Schooi model as a guide. Three possible names xvere offered for each unit (Scnool of. .., Department of ..., or Joint Department of...).

11. PROPOS.+L FOR .A SCHOOLOF FISE.ART .ASD >IL'SIC

The Depanment of Fine .-\n and the Department of Music subsequently held iour meetings of staff, students, and faculty benveen December, 1996 and .April, 1997 to discuss issues related to the proposed restructuring of these units. At the last meeting. a ballot vots of 16 faculr)., staff, and students from the nvo departments indicated unanimous support for the formation of a School of Fine An and hlusic. The administrative head. according to present universir) policy, would be a Director. The position of Director is one that esists at Guelph for the administrative heads of Schools, and university Fac~rlwPolicies refer to Chairs and Directors as nominally equivalent. They are normally appointed for a specified term oi 5-5 years.

We believe that the title "School" ackno\vledges both the academic as well as the significant professional and creative actkir). that exists within the disciplines of Fine .Art and music. The title "School" is also xbidely recognized externally and is consistent with the names of other similar units across Canada. \\Me offering both external and internni recognition of the integral role of these creative activities ~vithinthe unit. this title \vi!l continue to promote the significant research component of the disciplines as well. IVhereas the union of Fine Art and Music was not initially driven by academic s)nergies, we recognize that the title "School" is flexible enough to allow for change and possible development of academic synergies in the future.

.A. Proposed School Structure and Location

The Department of Fine .An offers programs in .Art Histon and in Studio .Arts at hs undergraduate level. and a .\lasts: of Fine .Art program in Srudio Arts. The Department of Music offers an undergraduate program in hlusic. Both departments alss devots considerable effon to~varduniversity senice, not only through course offerings of general icterest. bur alss through various creative endeavors, such as art exhibitions, concerts, applied music lessons. and musical ensembles. In many cases: these creative activities form XI integral pan of the academic pro:-ram, but they also have an important role in supporting the essential cultural and artistic life of the universir).

The School of Fine An and Music \\ill include 12.5 FTE faculr) (as of Fall. 1997). In addition, both departments rely extensively upon sessional teachg, especially (but not exclusively) in the practical areas of their disciplines.

June 4,1997 Page 2 \I The Depment of Fine .kt is located in Zavitz Hall, and the Depment of Xlusic is i currently located in the blacKimon building. Since the teaching spaces for both depanments require special equipment and access to art supplies or musical instruments. it is not possible to house rhe two departments \vholly \\ithin one location. The adminisnative otxce for ine School \\ill be located in 201-204 ZaviuHdI. .A modest amount of staiTsuppon \\ill continue to be available for Music in the hLacKi~onbuilding for allocation and supewision of the Goldschmidt Room (107 >lacKimon). practice rooms, and music teaching srudios.

B. Proposed Date of Implementation

Implementation \-.ill be accomplished in several steps. As of \lzy 1. 1997. LlqC: r. Chair of the Department of Music? assumed the additional duties of .Acting Chair of the Depment of Fine Art. Target date for consolidation of the administrative staff in Zavirz Hall is September 1". The current term of the Chair of the Depment of Music ends Xovember 30. 1997, ho~vevershe is prepared to resign the positions as soon as Senate has approved the proposal for a School, so that a search can be undertzken for a Director of the School. Full implementation of herestructuring plan is intended to tzke place no later than December I, 1997, and earlier if possible.

C. Responsibilities of the Director

At the University of Guelph, the duties and responsibilities of Chairs and Directors are equivalent and are specified in Faculy Policies, section K. The only distinction betxveen the t\vo designations is that a Depanment has a Chair, whereas a School has a Director. Selection of a Director for the School of Fine .-kt and Music \\ill be conduc:ed according to the procedure outlined in Faczllty Policies, section L5.08, 6, and 7. The term of appointment is normally a period of 3-5 years and is renexvable. Responsibilities of the Director of the School of Fine .-kt and Music \\ill consist of duties in the general areas of (1) allocation and effective use of resources (budgetarl;, personnel, equipment and space) \\ithin the School. (2) teaching counselling and curricular issues (in consultation with program chairs). (3) issuing repons. applications- and other documents from the School, (4) collaborative ventures with 0th:: deparrments and universities. 2nd other external activities: (5) overseeing the hirins wd evaluation oifaculy and staff. (6) sswice on committees and as official School representative. and (7) tenure and promotion and other evaiuations.

D. Responsibilities of the Program Chairs

X new position entitled "program chaii' nil1 be created in order to advise the Director concerning academic issues related to the programs offered by Fine .An and biusic. It is envisaged that the duties of the program chair xvould rotate among faculty mithin a program on a regular basis, and that faculty ~vouldbe able to assume these duties (xvhich are primarily curricular in nanue) in addition to the normal load of five courses. The role of program chair

June 4, 1997 Page 5 will be assumed by a facult). member for a specific term (normally 1-3 years) as pan of his 0: 1 her "senice" to the universit).. In anticipation of the need to put the adminisuative functions in place as soon as possible. promchairs for Fine and Music ha\ s alread!, begun their terms as of %lay In. Initially. all pro_- chairs \\ill sene a one-year term. fiom Xlay 1. 199-- April 30. 1998. The current program chairs are:

Prof. Llan IVoodside - Music Prof. Jack Horn - .Art Histon and Srudio .Ans Prof. Ron Shuebrook and Prof. Margaret Priest - kI.F..A. program in Studio .Arts

Duties and responsibilities of the program chairs fall into nvo categories. as follo\\.s:

1. Curricular issues

As chair of the program Curriculum Committee, the program chair \\ill recommend to the Director the scheduling of course offerings and assignment of teaching duties within the program; arrange for undergraduate academic counseling for the program: and make recommendations to the Director of the School nith regard to the hiring of sessional instructors.

2. Tenure and promotion

The program chairs are responsible for communicating to the Director of the School any relevant information with regard to the teaching and other scholarly or creative activities of all faculty members mithin the program.

E. Tenure and Promotion Issues

The School of Fine .An and Music \\-ill ha~ea singls Tenure and Promotion Committee. chair:d by :he Director. In order to retain disciplinv intsgrit)., the present Deparrments of Fine ;\n and hlusic feel that it is appropriats to formulate a School Tenure and Promotion document thai retains separate guidelines for irs disciplines. IVs suggest that representarion from both Fine .An and Liusic be guaranteed by

.A. Advison Group

X new consultative group \\ill be formed: called the Advisor?. Group. \vhich \viil bs chaired by the Director and will consist of the program chairs for all programs Xvithin the School. Since this group \\ill provide an oppormnir). for exchange of information and coordination of activities and plans within the School, it nil1 be important to include student representation (txvo undergraduates and one graduate student) as well. This comminee will meet at least monthly, with infofinal consultation at other times.

B. School Tenure and Promotion Committee

The committee \\ill be chaired by the Director of the School. Election of members of each School's Tenure and Promotion Committee \\ill be organized in such a Lvay as to -euarantee, as far as possible, representation from all of the programs \\ithin the School (sce the suggestion for membership in section IIE above). Initially, it \vas proposed that the program chair of the program in which the facult). member teaches ~vould also be invited to the meetings in order to alleviate concern about evaluation by colleagues not \\ithin one's immediate discipline, but this was deemed in the end to be unnscessar\.. particularly sinc? it ~vould significantly increase ti]-. \\-orkload of rhe program chairs.

The majorin- of the membe:s of the .Appointments .Advisor) Committee nil1 come from the program for \\hich the person is being hired.

D. Other Committees

Discussions benveen Fine ;\n and Llusic are continuing uith regard to consolidating membership on several other committees nithin the School and College. Examples of committees that have representatives from both disciplines at present are College .A\\ards Committee. College Librar) Committee, and Information and Learning Technologiss Committee. ..\n effon will be made to reduce membership on these committees by having single representative for Fine .An and Music. Numerous other committees exist \vholly (or almost wholly) within one discipline and are therefore unlikely to change. Examples are the Health and Safety Committee F.A. one Music member], Ensemble and Applied Music Comminee [b[usic], and the ;\n Gallery Cornminee Fine Art]. We anticipate that committee structures may change somewhat as the new administrative structure oithe School evolves. and it remains a goal of the resuucturing exercise to reduce the amount of time faculr). spend on committees whenever possible and practical.

E. School Curriculum Committees

Each undergraduate program nithin the School will have a Curriculum Committee that \\ill be responsible for organizing the undergraduate curriculum offerings of the program. The undergraduate Curriculum Comminee \\ill be chaired by the promchair. The saduate program \\ill similarly have a Curriculum Committee. \vhich may overlap \\ith rh- undergraduate Curriculum Committee, and \vhich \vill be chaired by the graduate pro,oram chair.

.As chair of the Curriculum Cornittee. the program chair \vill ensure that th? Curriculum Committee. xvith student ;epresentation (as defined exlie:). carriss out its function, as specified in the BJ-la\vs of the Board of Lndergraduate Studies [see Se)taiz Bylalrs and Regltlarions, revised Srprember. 1996, p. 421:
