From: Sub-committee on Graduation and Ceremonials
Date: November 28,2005
RE: University of Guelph-Humber Convocation
In June 2006, the first class of Guelph-Humber will be graduated. As per Senate Executive Bylaws, the convocation subcommittee of the Graduation and Ceremonials Committee has been meeting- over the semester to consult with Guelph-Humber students, plan convocation arrangements, and formulate recommendations to Senate regarding the design of academic regalia,- the forms to be used for the presentation and admission to the degrees, and the form, content, and conduct of the convocation ceremony.
There has been extensive consultation with Guelph-Humber students. Students in the Guelph- Humber degree programs graduate with both a University of Guelph degree and a Humber diploma. The Vice-Provost of Guelph-Humher, and the Guelph-Humber Registrar have met with the students, including student government leaders, to discuss these issues and get agreement on the plans.
For approval: As a result of these discussions, the Graduation and Ceremonials Sub-committee makes the following recommendation to the Executive Committee for Senate's approval regarding the design of the robes and hoods for the Guelph-Humber convocation: . The robes for use by the scholars of Guelph-Humber will be plain black. The hood has been designed to combine the elements of both the University of Guelph and Humber College. It has a shell of the Humber Dark Blue edged on the outside with Humber Gold. The inside is the Guelph Red with the Gold Chevron. It is intended that this is an integrated hood for use for all Guelph-Humber degrees. . All University of Guelph personnel will wear either their own robes or those of the University of Guelph. Humber College personnel will wear Humber College or their own robes. Motion: To recommend to Senate the approval of the University of Guelph-Humber i robes and hoods as described above for the graduands of the Guelph- Humber degree programs.
For information: Ceremonv Details The date selected for the Gueluh-Humber Convocation is Monday June 19, 2006. . The ceremony will commence at 2:30 p.m. The location will be either the Humber Gymnasium or an off campus location. There is consultation underway with Guelph-Humber students regarding the best location. Students are meeting with President Summerlee on December 9Ih, 2005 to discuss these options. Ceremonial Form The ceremony will take the same form as the University of Guelph ceremony with each student being presented to the Chancellor for conferral of the University of Guelph degree. The only change is that the student will then be greeted by the Humber College President or his representative to receive the Humber College diploma. All parchments will be presented to the student off stage. The University of Guelph Mace will be used as the symbol of the University of Guelph at all Guelph-Humber ceremonies. Design of Diplomas and Certificates The student will receive a University of Guelph parchment in its current form as well as the Humber College diploma.
Higher Degrees Both institutions offer honorary degrees. University of Guelph honorary degrees presented at the Guelph-Humber convocation will be approved by the University of Guelph Senate.
2006 Ceremony As this is the first ceremony for Guelph-Humber it is intended that it will have some special features. These may include: Memento to 2006 students as the first graduates of the program - possibly a ribbon across the comer of the parchment or some similar device . Post-ceremony reception in the Guelph-Humber building An invitation to all those involved in the establishment of Guelph-Humber

1. INTRODUCTION
1.I Type of Proposal
This proposal is for a new, stand alone, joint (type 2) MA program in Public Issues Anthropology between the Universities of Guelph and Waterloo. The anthropologists at these universities are part of two highly interconnected units with a long history of professional collaboration across specialties.
The Anthropologists at Waterloo currently do not have their own graduate program, although many of them have sat on graduate committees for students enrolled in Anthropology programs at other universities. Their counterparts at Guelph have Supervised MA students with a background in Anthropology within a Sociology graduate program and are also involved in several interdisciplinary graduate programs in Guelph at both the MA and PhD levels. They will continue to participate in such interdisciplinary programs as well continuing to serve as members of committees for Sociology students.
1.2 Background of proposed program
This appraisal brief grew out of a broader response of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Guelph to a 1999 OCGS appraisal of its graduate program. That program, which had Socio-Cultural Anthropology as an area of specialization, has been restructured and no longer includes the Anthropology specialization.
The Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Guelph has had an MA in Sociology since 1967. From its inception, Social Anthropologists at Guelph have supervised andlor served as members of advisory committees of those MA students. Starting in 1996 the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Guelph introduced Socio-cultural Anthropology as an area of specialization within an existing MA in Sociology.' That program admitted students who had for the most part specialized in general Anthropology at the undergraduate level. Those students did research at and wrote dissertations at Guelph that were not that different from what they would do if they were enrolled in an Anthropology MA.
There is already cooperation between the two departments in the supervising of MA students since one Anthropologist at Waterloo was co-advisor for two MA Anthropology students at Guelph. This person and another anthropologist at another nearby university, Wilfrid Laurier, were appointed as adjunct graduate faculty at Guelph.
Since the year 2000 the Anthropologists at Guelph and their colleagues at Waterloo have been discussing the possibility of creating a new, distinctive self-standing joint MA. The result of those
This specialization was initiated upon the advice of Dr. Doug Ormrod, former dean of Graduate Studies at Guelph, in anticipation of the subsequent development of a stand alone MA in Anthropology. Sociology and Cultural Anthropology were designated as two separate Fields within the MA program. Although these two fields represent different disciplines, there was a considerable degree of interaction and commonality between them. For example, Anthropologists frequently taught Sociology courses (and vice versa), and several graduate classes had students from both fields taking the same course under different calendar prefixes. Moreover, two out of four core areas of specialization were offered under both fields. OCGS APPRAISAL BRIEF - ANTHROPOLOGY (V.1) Page 4 of 29
discussions was a written proposal that had the support of both the Department of Sociology J and Anthropology at Guelph and the Department of Anthropology at Waterloo, and their respective deans. This proposal is incorporated in this appraisal. A senior anthropologist, Professor Andrew Lyons of Wilfrid Laurier University, will be added as adjunct graduate faculty.
We propose a four-semester program of study comprised of four 12-week courses and the completion of an MA thesis (or six 12-week courses and a major paper). The proposed program will have one field: Public Issues Anthropology. Students will follow a single set of regulations.
1.2.1 Rationale for a Program in Public Issues Anthropology
Much of the content of the messages delivered by the mainstream media, the policy statements of governments and non-governmental organizations, and the ideas presented in popular books fall within the scope of the discipline of Anthropology. However, anthropological findings are often ignored or contradicted in the reports communicated to non-professional audiences. In many cases, appropriate anthropological information is not prominent in media reports, including widely publicized research from other disciplines. For example, statements about "human nature" appearing in both popular and scholarly communications are frequently based on data drawn only from mainstream North American society. Where anthropological data is presented, it is often used in a simplistic or over generalized way. Some anthropological knowledge is either widely resisted or sensationalized. Behavioural and genetic studies of the relationships between humans and other primates are an instance of anthropological findings that have suffered both fates. Genetic research, in particular, raises issues, such as ownership of the human genome, which call for precisely the combined biological and cultural insights which anthropology has historically sought. The community at large will benefit from the potential of new expertise being applied to issues of public importance.
Public Issues Anthropology focuses on the interface between academic anthropological knowledge and public understandings of the substantive issues subsumed by it. Students in the proposed program will thus be encouraged to examine and understand the deeper insights into policy issues that can readily be gained from anthropological methods. This provides the usual gains from avoiding ethno-centrism and contributes to a richer understanding of "globalization," thereby improving public policy and providing a resource for the private sector. They will also explore the significant role anthropology can play, and has played, in the analysis of expressive culture, a highly significant segment of public discourse, including art, fashion and the entertainment media. Employment of prospective graduate students should be enhanced by recent recognition of the usefulness of an anthropological understanding in fields as diverse as marketing and defence.
1.2.2 Objectives of Program
The main objectives of the proposed program are to prepare students to enter doctoral programs in anthropology and to use anthropological knowledge in a wide range of other professional and public roles. Anthropology is a valuable analytical tool and a source of information concerning diverse intellectual and societal issues. In order to achieve this objective, the program will emphasize the synergies and interconnections among the various sub- disciplines in Anthropology.
We don't expect our students to cure society's ills on the basis of a Master's Degree, but we do ! expect them to be well equipped to interpret the wide and diverse body of information produced by a society seeking just such cures. We intend to sensitize them to the social and ethical OCGS APPRAISAL BRIEF - ANTHROPOLOGY (V. I) Page 5 of 29 responsibilities of professional anthropologists and increase their understanding both of anthropology and of the world we live in.
As citizens and professionals, our graduates will be better able to arrive at anthropologically informed judgments on a range of issues that repeatedly surface in public and private life. They will be well prepared to address such public issues as the ethics of genetic research and assisted reproduction, globalization, racism and the production and consumption of media and other aspects of expressive culture.
The proposed joint graduate program will attract a diverse set of students interested in many facets of cultural anthropology and some aspects of physical anthropology and archaeology. Once they graduate from GuelphNVaterloo, they will be well prepared for doctoral studies in these sub-disciplines or in interdisciplinary doctoral programs. Of course, those who wish to pursue Ph.D. programs in applied anthropology will be well prepared to do so. As a discipline, anthropology is becoming increasingly conscious of its importance as a source of information on issues of public concern. Our program will be the first in Canada to specifically address this aspect of ~nthropologyas its cencal objective and, as such, will graduates who will have a head start in the direction the discipline is most likely to take in the future.
The objectives of the program will be achieved through a combination of coursework and a research uroiect culminating in a maior paper or thesis. Students at Guelph may combine studies in'a~hropologywiththe collabo;aive program in International ~evelo~mentStudies (CIDS), and students at both universities may draw upon faculty expertise in a number of culturai and/or geographical areas
1.3 Method used for the self-study and the preparation of the brief
After consultation with the Anthropologists at the two universities a committee of three people jointly wrote this brief: the Chair of the Sociology and Anthropology Department at Guelph (who is an Anthropologist), the former graduate coordinator for the same Department (also an Anthropologist), and the chair of the Graduate Program Committee of the Department of Anthropology at Waterloo. We obtained input from several past and current MA students at Guelph who specialize in Anthropology and then asked a student currently enrolled in Guelph's MA program (and who was an undergraduate Anthropology student at Waterloo) to help put together the c.v.'s. In writing this proposal we relied on relevant sections from an earlier appraisal of the Sociology MA at Guelph done at a time (1999) when we already had a specialization in Social Anthropology.
In submitting this brief, faculty at the University of Waterloo are encouraged by the Fall, 2004 evaluation of our undergraduate program which states both that the proposed program would be appropriate for us and that it would contribute significantly to the University of Waterloo's stated goal of increasing the internationalization of its curriculum and research profile.
1.4 Fields in the proposed program
The proposed program will have only one field: Public Issues Anthropology. Prior to 1995 the Sociology program had three fields: Rural and Development Studies, Education, Employment and the Workplace, Race and Ethnicity and Aboriginal Studies. That year, these fields were turned into areas of specialization which were offered under two new 'fields' (Sociology and Anthropology). Calling Anthropology a 'field' under Sociology was problematic and the OCGS APPRAISAL BRIEF - ANTHROPOLOGY (V. I) Page 6 of 29
Anthropology field was eventually dropped. There will now be two separate MA programs in the Department (Sociology versus Anthropology), each with its own field(s).
The proposed joint MA program in Public Issues Anthropology, as a specialized, niche MA, will have only one field or specialization. At the same time, the new program will include faculty at Waterloo who specialize in various sub-disciplines within Anthropology, not just Social Anthropology, as was formerly the case at Guelph.
1.5 Concerns expressed in previous appraisals and action taken
This proposal for a new MA is an outgrowth of a response to one of the concerns raised in the 1999 appraisal of the Sociology program at Guelph. The reviewers found that a Sociology MA with a specialization that is really a distinct discipline was confusing. Indeed, their first impression was that Guelph offered a combined Anthropology and Sociology MA, but they then realized that was not the case. The University of Guelph shares these concerns and attempts to address them with the current proposal. The inclusion of six additional Anthropologists (but two adjuncts) from the University of Waterloo will enhance the required critical mass to create a viable, stand alone graduate program. The Anthropologists at Waterloo have a long established undergraduate program and are eager to move forward to an innovative niche graduate program.
1.6 Special matters and innovative features
A Public Issues Anthropology MA will be the only one of its kind in Canada. The innovative nature of the proposed program is to make Anthropology especially appropriate for students who will enter a wide variety of fields after completing MA degrees. Several graduate programs in the U.S. do have such titles as 'public interest' or 'public' anthropology. This approach, at present, is non-existent in Canada. At the same time, students graduating from the proposed program will be fully qualified to go on to further studies in both academic and applied Anthropology, if they choose to do so.
Historically, anthropology as a discipline has made important contributions to public debate. Edmund Leach, Margaret Mead, Ashley Montagu, Franz Boas, Bronislaw Malinowski and Claude Levi-Strauss are among those alithropologists who have brought anthropological knowledge outside of the academy and into wider discussions of such issues as race, sexuality, and the nature of the human mind itself. Anthropologists have recently shown considerable interest in reclaiming such a public role. For example, the American Ethnological Society recently proposed launching a magazine entitled "Culture Matters". The intent is to place this alongside magazines like Psychology Today and National Geographic, to provide an accessible venue for anthropological analysis of the contemporary world. Our MA initiative will be an important contribution to the process of making anthropological understandings available for the public good. Students will be strongly encouraged to partispate in putting anihropological knowledge to use in appropriate organizations during the course of their training and to use such experience as data for papers and theses
The proposed program is also innovative insofar as it emphasizes the relevance of all of the sub-disciplines in Anthropology as taught in most undergraduate programs in North America. Most other graduate programs in Anthropology tendto involve a high level of specialization starting at the MA level, while the proposed program will encourage a more general approach and instil a greater sense of the need to be aware of the contributions made by biological anthropology, archaeology and linguistic anthropology in connection with the application of OCGS APPRAISAL BRIEF - ANTHROPOLOGY (V. I) Page 7 of 29
anthropological knowledge to public issues that require deeper understanding and resolution. 1 While flexible in terms of the specific topics chosen by students for a thesis or major paper, the focus of the proposed MA program, and what will make it unique, is its ability to provide students with a great awareness of, and ability to apply, the insights of Anthropology.
2. THE FACULTY
2.1 A Short Description of the Two Departments and their respective Universities
The six anthropologists at the University of Waterloo belong to a Department in the Faculty of Arts with a highly successful undergraduate program. They are five tenured anthropologists and one anthropologist currently in the second year of a three-year contract. There are two tenured social/cultural anthropologists, one archaeologist, one physical anthropologist specializing in bioethics and primatology and one physical anthropologist specializing in bioarchaeology and forensics. The untenured member of the Department has a focus in applied anthropology, a field that the Department hopes to develop whenopportunities for future tenure-track hiringsarise. There is no connection between that Department and the Department of Sociology at Waterloo. Only the latter has a graduate program. The earliest retirement date for people on this list is 2008.
The Sociology and Anthropology Department at Guelph is part of the College of Social and Applied Human Sciences. The Department has six anthropologists, all of them with degrees in Social Anthropology. Four anthropologists are tenured, one is in the second year of a tenure- stream appointment and one was hired in the summer of 2004. One of these junior appointments is a replacement for a senior Anthropologist who retired on July 1, 2003, but who continues to contribute to the Department. Long-term plans for recruitment include the possibility of hiring one more anthropologist within the'next couple of years. The earliest retirement date for the six people currently employed is 201 1.
2.1.1 List of Faculty
There are currently 13 faculty in the two departments (Table I),of which 3 are assistant, 7 associate, and 3 full professors. Two positions at Waterloo will become vacant in the next five years due to retirements. Professor Stan Barrett, who retired in July, 2003 has continued to be an integral participant in the Department at Guelph. Andrew Lyons is a professor at Wilfrid Laurier University who will participate in the program as an associated faculty member. OCGS APPRAISAL BRIEF - ANTHROPOLOGY (V. I) Page 8 of 29
Table 1
The Ahthropologists at the two universities listed in this table are active researchers and university teachers. Faculty at the University of Waterloo have strong reputations in Arctic studies, primatology, human biology, health studies, the anthropology of mass communication, human sexuality and Native affairs. At Guelph, faculty are equally well-known in Mexican studies, the Anthropology of livelihoods (particularly in North America), indigenous people in South Africa, Papua New Guinea and Mesoamerica, applied anthropology, the Anthropology of Japan, and race and ethnic relations.
The more senior members of both Departments have received national and international recognition. For example, in 1991, Dr. Schryer, who specializes in the study of the Nahua people of Mexico, won the Erminie Wheeler-Voegelin Award for the best book-length work in ethnohistory granted by the American Society for Ethnohistory. Dr. Abler, a noted expert in Iroquois Studies held the prestigious Gordon Russell Visiting Professorship in Native American Studies at Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire, in the fall of 2000.
Another area where faculty from Waterloo and Guelph have excelled is the research on the impact of globalization on livelihoods and well-being. Thus Dr. Leach, the co-author of an OCGS APPRAISAL BRIEF - ANTHROPOLOGY (V. I) Page 9 of 29
award-winning book, "Contingent Work, Disrupted Lives", was the recipient of a University 1 Research Chair at the University of Guelph in 2004.
Anthropologists at both Guelph and Waterloo have also been recognized as outstanding teachers. For example Stanley Barrett was named as one of the top five teachers at the University of Guelph in Maclean's Guide to Canadian Universities in 1999, and Dr. Harriet Lyons was the recipient of the Distinguished Teaching Award, University of Waterloo, in 2004.
All of the Waterloo and Guelph faculty have published in well-known journals andlor with major university presses. They are all regularly invited to review manuscripts and fellowship applications by major journals and granting bodies. In addition, Dr. Zeller is the producer of a series of films on primates that have been favourably reviewed in leading journals and which are used in teaching throughout North America.
External recognition has also taken the form of invitations to give guest lectures and organize workshops. For example, in 1994 Dr. Stanley Barrett was invited by the Western Australian Anthropological Association, the University of Western Australia and Edith Cowan University to tour Australia as a guest lecturer. In 2004-5, Dr. Liston was appointed through an international open competition to the American School of Classical Studies in Athens, Malcolm H. Weiner Laboratory, to be a Visiting Research Professor in 2004-2005. She is also regularly invited to conduct workshops and consult on forensics by other universities and police forces. She was featured on a major documentary on forensics aired in 2003-4 by the Discovery Channel. Dr. Anne Zeller has received numerous invitations from prominent professional bodies to conduct workshops and deliver addresses to international audiences. These include an invitation by the International Primatological Society to arrange a round table and exhibition of ape art at the IPS 2004 meeting in Turin, Italy, in August 2004 and to speak at the University of Messina, Sicily in 2002. In 2002 she was invited to teach a specialist course on primate behaviour at the lstituto di Antropologia, Florence, Italy. She was the invited keynote speaker at the Italian Primatological Society meetings in Turin, Italy, in June, 1997. In 1996 she received a Distinguished Scientist Award from the Orangutan Research Foundation.
The younger anthropologists show great promise to become prominent. Dr. Sylvain, who studied under Dr. Richard Lee at the University of Toronto, is quickly becoming the foremost expert on foraging societies through her work on the San people of South Africa. Dr. Satsuki Kawano, who has recently joined the Guelph faculty, had her first book "Ritual Practices in Modern Japan" accepted for publication by the University of Hawaii Press. In 1999 Pamela Stern won the Graduate Student Instructor award, Department of Anthropology, University of California, Berkeley.
Note:Table 1 does not list several Anthropologists and doctoral candidates who have at one time or another taught undergraduate courses, and who may also end up playing a role in the proposed program. It does include two anthropologists from Western Canada (now retired) who are now affiliated as adjunct professor with the Anthropology Department at Waterloo. They will probably not be teaching courses in the program but will be available for graduate supervision. OCGS APPRAISAL BRIEF - ANTHROPOLOGY (V.1) Page 10 of 29

Note: Anthropologists at Waterloo have not had a graduate program in their own Department, which explains why so few of them have been the main advisors of graduate students. However, one faculty member at Waterloo (Harriet Lyons) has Supervised two MA students at Guelph (as co-advisor with a faculty member at Guelph), while other faculty at Waterloo have had experience sitting on graduate student advisory committees at other Universities. During the first two years of the new joint program, special training sessions and workshops for all faculty member who have not previously been advisors will be held at both campuses.
The Gueloh facultv have so far been orirnarilv involved in graduate supervision at Guelph within a ~ociolo$~ or in such interdisciplinary graduate programs as an MA in collaborative International Development Studies (CIDS) or a PhD in Rural Studies. However, many of these students since 1994'had ~nthro~olo~~undergraduate degrees. OCGS APPRAISAL BRIEF - ANTHROPOLOGY (V.1) Page 12 of 29
In addition, Anthropologists at both universities have been members of supervisory committees I of students in programs at other universities and have had additional involvement as external reviewers and chairs of MA and PhD examining committees, especially in the case of Waterloo (see Volume 2).
2.4 Current teaching assignments
Currently each faculty member at Guelph normally teaches four one semester (12-week) courses per year unless they are given a reduced course load for administrative responsibilities as chair (a two course reduction), graduate coordinator (one course reduction), undergraduate coordinator (one course reduction), or graduate coordinator for the Collaborative International Development Studies Program (one course reduction). Teaching loads may also be reduced as a result of a research time stipend from a funding agency. Graduate and undergraduate courses are treated equally in terms of the four course "load".
At Waterloo faculty have a teaching load of 5 semester courses per year
Teaching assignments for the faculty of both Departments for 200 - 2005 are listed in Table 4 (not including reading courses or courses taught by sessional instructors who will not be involved in the graduate program).

2.5 Commitments of faculty members from institutions other than Guelph and Waterloo
Dr. Andrew Lyons from Wilfrid Laurier University has agreed to participate in the proposed MA as Associated Graduate Faculty (category 5). OCGS APPRAISAL BRIEF - ANTHROPOLOGY (V. I) Page 18 of 29
3. PHYSICAL AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES
3.1 Library resources
The Library resources of Guelph and Waterloo are already integrated through the tri-University Trellis system. Statements from the Chief Librarian at Guelph and Waterloo regarding the University Library support for the proposed Graduate program in Anthropology are contained in Appendix A.
The recent innovations in the area of micro-computer based compact disk systems to deliver automated abstract services to Library users have been an important advance. Graduate students are now saved the time and labour involved in manual searches of abstract services such as ERIC and Socio-file. Both universities also provide access to the vital online resources of JSTOR, which contains the archives of 14 anthropology and 10 archaeology journals, as well as archives of other major journals in the social sciences and humanities. Both universities also subscribe to the eHraf online collections, which contain the searchable full-texts of a wide variety of significant anthropological articles and monographs.
Another recent addition to the Library services essential to graduate students in Anthropology and Sociology is the membership in the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research. Currently the Library at Guelph is supporting the University's membership in this organization and is providing cataloguing of the data files in conjunction with Computing Services. Access to ICPSR gives our students and faculty the opportunity to use any of the thousands of secondary data files archived at the Consortium in Michigan and makes available the short courses and seminars sponsored during the year in Ann Arbor. An on-line system is now in place so that students and faculty can search the ICPSR archives to determine if data files exist which could be used to test their hypotheses.
3.2 Laboratory facilities (equipment)
There are currently no laboratory (or other research) spaces for Anthropologists at the University of Guelph. Most Social Anthropologists do fieldwork abroad and do not require interview or observational rooms. However, there are long-term plans for providing some work space at Guelph where faculty and graduate students will be able to transcribe field notes and analyze data.
In terms of research equipment, Guelph has several tape-recorders and two foot-pedalled transcribers. We also have a site license for N-Vivo (software used for classifying fieldnotes)
Waterloo has three laboratories with the following equipment:
1) Physical Anthropology Lab, PAS 1098D,water + gas centrifuge incubator glassware Microscope fume hood refrigerators casts of early Hominids and apes human skeletons (8) OCGS APPRAISAL BRIEF - ANTHROPOLOGY (V. 1) Page 19 of 29
faunal collections, including monkeys (acquired by A. Zeller) anthropometric equipment
2) Archaeology/Osteology Lab, PAS 2205, water + storage cabinets fume hood skeletal remains for research some casts of skeletal material measuring equipment (callipers, etc.) photographic copy stands, lights faunal collection (assembled by M. Liston) drawing table
3) Archaeology Lab, PAS 1257 computers - data analysis fieldwork supplies and equipment measuring tools faunal collection (assembled by R.W. Park) -Note: All of this equipment was supplied through research money In additional Waterloo has the following equipment used in teaching: casts of stone tools and some artifacts plastic skeletal material camera-data projector for showing small objects slide scanner and associated items I 3.3 Computer facilities
Computing is well supported at both Guelph and Waterloo. There are a number of facilities which are used for both undergraduate and graduate teaching and research. The college of Social and Applied Human Sciences at Guelph has three micro-computer laboratories to which students and faculty have access for teaching and research purposes. In total these 'labs' contain 63 desktops. One of these labs, located in MacKinnon room 125, is designed for Graduate student use. It has Pentiums, internet access and access to printers in MacKinnon, Rm 029. Another lab, in MacKinnon 030, which is also an undergraduate lab, is available to graduate students. All of these labs are staffed by graduate students in the college.
At Waterloo students have similar access to computer labs. There are well equipped computer labs in the Psychology, Anthropology and Sociology building where the Anthropology Department is located and in other buildings across the campus. Access to them is open to anyone with a University of Waterloo account, and many of these facilities are open on a 24 hour basis.
In the Departments themselves, all faculty have personal computers either at home or in their offices.
The Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Guelph is assisted by a full-time technical advisor (Janice Hicks) who also orovides suooort for the Deoartment of Political Science. She is in charg; of setting up and mainiaining its computers and software. This person is available to help both students and faculty with Word Processing, statistical problems and most OCGS APPRAISAL BRIEF - ANTHROPOLOGY (V. 1) Page 20 of 29 softwarelhardware problems. In addition to this support, the Department also benefits from the general expertise of the Computer Services Department. CSS operates a "Help Line" during normal University hours (~5888).While this line is operated by students, they have at their disposal all CSS resources and most problems can be fixed very quickly.
At Waterloo there are several full time technicians on the Arts Faculty staff who provide assistance to all of the Departments and there are also computer help desks attached to both the Faculty of Arts and the University where students can receive advice and assistance.
3.4 Space
The Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Guelph currently shares the sixth floor of the MacKinnon Building with the Department of Political Science and they have additional offices on the seventh floor (with Economics), the fourth floor (with English) and the ground floor of the same building. Some faculty also have offices and some research space on the second floor of a house on 1 Trent Lane. However, most of this space will be consolidated and expanded sometime during the Fall of 2006 or the Winter of 2007 when the construction of an extension to the MacKinnon building will make it possible to solve a current shortage of office and research space.
Graduate students are allocated office space at Guelph in 214 Blackwood Hall. There are private desks for those who request them. In terms of square footage the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Guelph has available:
Faculty offices (21 offices x 120 sq. R.) 2, 520 General research (1 Trent Lane, 2nd floor) 639 Graduate student space (214 Blackwood Hall) 680 College Graduate Computer Lab 838 Administrative offices (6 offices with 173, 90, 120, 273, 225 & 120 sq fi) for total of 1,001
Total space available (Department + Computer Lab) 5,678 Note: This space is shared by students and faculty involved in both the Anthropology and Sociology programs.
The Anthropology Department at the University of Waterloo currently controls rooms on two floors of the PAS (Psychology, Anthropology, Sociology) building. The faculty offices are clustered on the second (main) floor of the building, while the labs and storage for collections and equipment are scattered through the first and second floors.
In terms of square footage the Department of Anthropology at Waterloo has available:
Offices of current faculty (6 x 109.25 sq R.) Office for Retired faculty1Sessionals Office for secretary Room used for T.A.IExams OCGSAPPRAISAL BRIEF - ANTHROPOLOGY (V.1) Page 21 of 29

Total space available (Department + Shared Conference room) 3,788
3.5 Financial support of graduate students
Financial support to graduate students enrolled in the Sociology program at Guelph over the last five years has ranged from $250,000 to $300,000 per year. All graduate students have received some financial support. The largest source of support is through teaching assistantships (currently valued at $4606.13 a semester). Students admitted to Guelph with an A average also received university, and in some cases, external scholarships. With the entrance of students into the proposed MA program, eligible Anthropology students will be entitled to the same level of funding, i.e. at least two guaranteed teaching assistantships. Most students will have an opportunity to apply for additional teaching assistantships, in accordance with the collective agreement of the teaching assistants' union.
In the case of the University of Waterloo, the Chair of the Anthropology Department has been assured that Anthropologv. -. -graduate students admitted to Waterloo would have the same chances of receiving teaching assistantships and other aid as students in other programs. Most graduate students at Waterloo get some financial assistance, and if a student has an OGS award, the university pays for the amount which must be contributed above the provincial scholarship. The proposed program should also be able to tap into a new fund for start-up programs, which assists with financial aid for the first 4 years of new programs.
Since there is not yet a separate, stand-alone Anthropology program, table 5 is not included in this appraisal brief. The expected total funding per semester is a total of from $5000.00 to $7,000.00 per semester.
3.6 Coordination between two campuses
Guelph has a number of joint programs with neighbouring universities. Each of these involves travel and coordination between campuses, but the various programs manage those challenges in different ways. Ideally, movement of students and faculty should be minimized, for instance through the use of electronic classrooms. Guelph and Waterloo both have long-established electronic "link rooms, originally developed for use in the Physics and Chemistry programs, and these would be available for the proposed program.
There will be a single graduate coordinator for the program (who could be from either campus) plus at least one counsellor at the other campus (the Graduate Officer at the University of Guelph), in order to ensure that the program is well integrated. Both of these people will sit on a OCGS APPRAISAL BRIEF - ANTHROPOLOGY (V. I) Page 22 of 29
single admissions committee who will assign students to work with a supervisor who will be a faculty member at either Guelph or Waterloo. Students will be admitted to the institution at which their supervisor is housed. Such students will pay tuition to, and receive financial aid from, either the Guelph or the Waterloo campus depending on where their supervisor is located. However, it is expected that members of any students' advisory committee will include faculty from both universities. Students will have the option of changing their supervisor, but only within each university.
A committee comprised of the Program Coordinator, the Graduate Officer at University of Waterloo, two other faculty members selected to achieve a balance between the two universities, and one student representative from each university will oversee program operations, curriculum and other administrative matters.
4. PROGRAM REGULATIONS AND COURSES
4.1 The educational development and the educational experience of the student
Although students are enrolled at two different universities, the program will ensure that they will have the same educational experience both inside and outside of the classroom. We also want the students to have a good understanding of, and commitment to, public issues anthropology by the time they graduate. This will be accomplished in several ways.
A core seminar will bring together students and faculty with different areas of expertise from the two universities in order to explore the interface between anthropological and public understandings of the contemporary global community. There will be a focus on the analysis of such public issues with sensitivity to the presence or absence of anthropological insights and data, in order to ensure that all students in the program receive the same basic training and exposure to the program's philosophy. The core seminar will serve as a forum for intellectual discussion and impart skills in critical analysis, such as assessment of oral narrative and written texts and sensitivity to the cultural context in which data is collected. We will make sure that all of our students become well versed in how to synthesize the resources of the various branches of the discipline. Discussions of intellectual and cultural property rights and of the uses of the past in contemporary discourse will draw upon social anthropology as well as archaeological anthropology and such aspects of physical anthropology as human evolution and osteology. Such topics as conservation, sexuality, racism and the ethics of genetic research and modification will sensitize students to the social and ethical responsibilities of professional anthropologists. In discussing cultural issues, the international scope of anthropological research will be stressed. Apart from a compulsory core seminar and two other core courses designed for the program, students will have the opportunity to cooperate in the running of an annual conference organized by the graduate students of the Department at Guelph. Informal gatherings at parties and lunch-hour brown bag discussions will provide additional OCGS APPRAISAL BRIEF - ANTHROPOLOGY (V.I) Page 23 of 29
opportunities for intellectual interaction among students and with faculty from the two universities and distinguished visitors. Students in the program will be encouraged to submit at least one paper (either a course assignment or part of a thesis or major paper) for consideration for publication as part of a process of professional socialization. An in-house publication (such as a series of working papers) will provide another method of providing such professional training to the students. In the past the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Guelph has provided financial support for student run-conferences. They will continue to do so and students, including those from the Waterloo campus, can apply for partial funding or complete funding to attend conferences outside the region. Students will be encouraged to apply for travel grants to attend conferences at other universities and for fieldwork experience. Faculty at University of Waterloo currently provide opportunities for undergraduates to participate in archaeological research in Greece and in the Canadian Arctic. Such opportunities could also be made available to interested and qualified students in the MA program. Students will be encouraged to participate in voluntary action programs housed at the universities which are relevant to Public Issues Anthropology, such as Engineers Without Borders, at the University of Waterloo. Such participation could provide enrichments andlor data for theses and major papers. Several faculty members at Guelph, particularly Dr. Sally Humphries (a Sociologist) use and teach participatory methods and have occasionally provided opportunities for student involvement in their research projects. MA students in Anthropology would be eligible for inclusion. Students in the undergraduate methodology course at the University of Waterloo have also worked in such a program as part of their course requirements; graduate students could include similar experience in their own methodology training.
4.2 Program regulations
Students enrolled at the two campuses will follow a single set of regulations. The way MA thesis defenses are set up, and the regulations for students who do a major paper instead of a thesis, are already almost identical at the two universities. The proposed Anthropology program will issue a single handbook providing a detailed explanation of the program and its requirements.
Only students with a 4-year undergraduate honours degree will be admitted into the program. The expectation is that the undergraduate degree will be in Anthropology, but students with at least 5 courses in Anthropology may be admitted as long as these were part of a major in another social science or humanities program. We will also accept students with a background in the natural sciences, as long as the 5 Anthropology courses they have taken include both ethnography and anthropological theory.
Apart from a compulsory core seminar, each student will be required to demonstrate to the Advisory Committee competence in theory and methods at the graduate level. Two compulsory courses in theory and method will assure that all students acquire a solid grounding in socio- cultural anthropology, and a variety of topical courses will allow students to study more specialized topics. OCGS APPRAISAL BRIEF - ANTHROPOLOGY (V. I) Page 24 of 29
Most students will proceed toward the degree by writing a thesis after completing a minimum of 2.0 credits, although a major paper option will also be available. The program of studies as a whole can be summarized in table 6.
Table 6
or as approved by supervisor Summary 4 graduate course (2.0 credits) +thesis 6 graduate courses (3.0 credits) + major paper (1.0 credit)
Anthropological theory and Public Issues Anthropology will be offered in the fall semester and Qualitative Research Methods in the winter semester (see table 8). Students will usually complete their fourth course in the Winter semester. As the program grows, further substantive courses will be added to the range of courses offered regularly in the program.
Responsibility for offering these courses will be shared by Waterloo and Guelph. In the short- term, as the table below indicates, Guelph will offer most of the courses, since it already offers graduate anthropology courses. If in the future additional resources become available at Waterloo, the division of labour might become somewhat more equitable.
Table 7
Note: Once the program is approved, one of the upper-level courses at Waterloo (Selected Topics in Primate Behaviour, Anthropology 461, may be held with a graduate course) The Department of English at the University of Waterloo has indicated that several courses in Professional Writing will be available to our students, though the specific course numbers offered vary from year to year. We will encourage our students to take OCGS APPRAISAL BRIEF - ANTHROPOLOGY (V.I) Page 25 of 29
such courses under the "as approved by supervisor" rubric, in keeping with our goal of training students to communicate anthropological knowledge to as broad an audience as possible.
Table 8
4.3 Part-time studies
There will be no part-time studies option when the program is initiated. However, the possibility of part-time studies some time in the future is not ruled out.
4.4 Total graduate courses listed and level
While neither Department has had their own graduate level graduate program, the Department of Socioloav and Anthropology at Guelph has offered five graduate-level Anthropology courses at the ~~Gvel.Two of thesecourseswere required couries for Anthropology students admitted into the Sociology graduate (MA) program when we had the Anthropology 'field' and the three others were electives (available to Sociology students). The core seminar (in Public Anthropology) will be an entirely new course, and as the program grows, additional specialized Anthropology courses at the MA level may be added.
The total number of graduate courses at both universities (all at the MA level) that will be part of the proposed program (both required core and elective courses) is fourteen. Of these courses, six will have an Anthropology (ANTH*) designation. These include three elective courses and one core course to be taught at Guelph, one core course which will alternate between the campuses and one which will involve faculty from both universities, though it will be housed at Guelph.

The last three courses on this list were taught by Anthropologists to both Sociology and Anthropology students.
4.5 Collateral and supporting DepartmentslPrograms
(a) lnternational Development Studies (Guelph)
We plan to seek approval to allow prospective MA students applying to the stand alone Anthropology MA at Guelph to have the option of entering the existing interdisciplinary MA program in lnternational Development Studies. We anticipate we will admit about 113 of our students to this degree combination. These students would be housed at Guelph, with the remaining students divided between Guelph and Waterloo. Faculty members at Guelph pioneered this Collaborative lnternational Development Studies Program (CIDS) which started in 1991. This program, which initially involved four social science departments, has since expanded to include departments in a number of different colleges and is now well-established, with a strong reputation. Frans Schryer, one of the anthropologists, was the graduate coordinator for several years.
ClDS students enrolled in the proposed Public Issues Anthropology MA would be required to fulfil the core requirements of the MA in Public Issues Anthropology and also complete the ClDS requirements. Consequently, those students will usually take at least one semester longer to complete their degree than other students in our program. The ClDS program also has a somewhat different set of entry requirements (including prior exposure to Economics). Historically, students who choose this combination of two areas of specialization have usually had extensive experience abroad and almost invariably write a thesis based on additional fieldwork outside of Canada.
(b) Graduate Programs with courses that have some content relevant to anthropology (Waterloo)
Several Departments with graduate programs at Waterloo offer courses that will be available to MA students enrolled in the proposed Anthropology-. graduate- program. These include Sociology, English, philosophy and ~s~cholo~~(see table 7). several faculty members of the Anthropology Department at Waterloo have se~edon committees for MA or PhD students enrolled in these Departments.
(c) PhD in Rural Studies (Guelph)
Apart from a close collaboration in the Collaborative lnternational Development Studies program (as described above), faculty in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Guelph are involved in an interdisciplinary PhD program in Rural Studies (with the single field of sustainable communities). Three faculty members of Sociology and Anthropology with a degree in OCGS APPRAISAL BRIEF - ANTHROPOLOGY (V.l). Page 27 of 29
Anthropology (F. Schryer, B. Leach and M. Rohatynskyj) have supervised students in this 1 program. Unlike the collaborative MA program in International Development, PhD students in Rural Studies do not apply directly to the Department, nor do they have to meet entrance requirements specific to either of two disciplines (Sociology and Anthropology). The Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Guelph also provides financial support to these PhD students in the form of Teaching Assistantships.
Students who graduate from Guelph or Waterloo with an MA in Public lssues Anthropology will be eligible to apply to this PhD program; since its inception four years ago, 4 PhD students in Rural Studies have had Anthropologists as supervisors and 3 of those students had earlier been trained largely in Anthropology.
5. EXPECTED OUTCOMES
Since neither Guelph nor Waterloo has ever had a graduate program in Anthropology, there are no tables to show outcomes However, we anticipate students completing the proposed new stand alone MA to complete their studies in 4 semesters (5 or 6 if they combine it with an MA in Collaborative International Development Studies.)
In terms of their readiness to continue in graduate school, and a subsequent career in academia, we would like to note that several students in the Sociology program at Guelph who specialized in Anthropology have already gone on to doctoral programs in Anthropology at McMaster and the University of Western Ontario. Others have gone onto doctoral programs in related fields, such as Sociology and Tourism. We anticipate that at least a third of the students who graduate from the proposed stand alone MA will enter doctoral programs. We will encourage students with such aspirations to have at least one paper or article in submission for publication. We will also invite such students to become co-authors with their advisors. It should be noted that the existing specialization in the Guelph sociology program has been attractive to students from both universities with BAS in Anthropology, who have gone on to either further study or successful employment. To some degree what we propose is the continued availability, in a form specifically tailored to the needs of anthropologists, of a resource which has already proved attractive to our graduates.
Graduates with a degree in Public lssues Anthropology will be well positioned to find jobs outside of academia. A degree in Public lssues Anthropology that builds upon an undergraduate training in Anthropology will enable our students to enter careers in many fields, including international development, conservation, land management, the health professions, and cultural resource management. Students with our proposed Master's Degrees in Anthropology may also find employment in branches of the public and private sectors concerned with such matters as Native affairs, international development, immigration and multiculturalism, and the Canadian heritage. The particular skills in critical analysis that the proposed program in Public lssues Anthropology will impart will enable our students to be particularly effective in many of these roles. Graduates of the University of Waterloo's Honours Anthropology program who have gone on to complete MAS in anthropology are currently employed in the Federal Government in the Department of Indian Affairs and the Department of Justice, in positions directly related to their anthropological background. One of them manages the unit responsible for historical and anthropological research on land claims in Ontario; another has been specially selected to work OCGS APPRAISAL BRIEF - ANTHROPOLOGY (V. I) Page 28 of 29 on Metis identification because of his anthropological knowledge. Since 911 1 the Ministry of Defence has been actively recruiting people with anthropological training to work on cross- cultural issues. Closer to home, one of our Honours BA graduates is employed by the Kitchener YMCA in the field of multicultural education, and recently won the Rix Roberts award for community service. We believe that a program such as ours will be invaluable in directing more people with anthropological training into such vital public roles.
There is currently no program in Public Issues Anthropology in Canada, but the experience of students in existing programs in the U.S. may be some guide to opportunities in the North American economy generally. Students who have completed an MA in Public Anthropology in the United States are em~lovedbv or have acted as consultants for such organizations as the Archaeology Office of ~aryland~itional Park, Asian American LEAD (~ea&rship, Empowerment and Development) for Families, The U.S. Department of State and The United ~aionsHigh Commission on ~efu~ees.In the private sect& they have been employed by WESTAT (an employee-owned research corporation serving agencies of the U.S. Government, as well as businesses, foundations, and state and local governments), as well as Thunderbird Research Associates and Greenhorn and O'Mara, Inc. (firms involved in cultural resource management). Graduates are also employed in public education and medicine.
Students enrolled in our program will be encouraged to volunteer to work with organizations which could benefit from anthropological expertise, and may choose to write their theses on such volunteer experience. It has been the experience of faculty involved in Public Anthropology in the US that such experience often leads to paid employment at a later date. At the University of Waterloo, faculty have been in contact with Engineers Without Borders and Youth Challenge International, who have indicated that anthropology students could find volunteer opportunities in their programs, which could add this type of service component to their training.
In the private sector in the United States anthropologists are being employed in fields as diverse as training of personnel for overseas assignments, market research, and the study of corporate cultures. A University of Waterloo Anthropology Co-op student was employed last year by a financial management firm to research the potential market for personal credit in China. Computer firms such as Intel have hired anthropologists with a knowledge of physical and cultural anthropology to research the ways in which people interact with computer hardware and software.
It should also be borne in mind that an MA in Public Issues Anthropology is likely to prove attractive to people working in various careers which would be enhanced by anthropological training at the MA level. US faculty involved in Public Anthropology report that such students have used their training effectively after graduation. Some people in this category have undergraduate degrees in anthropology (or 5 or more undergraduate courses) and would thus qualify for admission to our program. Two recent anthropology BAS from the University of Waterloo, one employed as a police officer and one a trained midwife who has worked in Central America, have told us that they would have enrolled in this program had it been available to them, and at least one of them might still do so.
One role which graduates of an MA program in Public lssues Anthropology could play is the communication of anthroooloaical knowledae to a broader audience. This is an endeavour which professional organ'izations in the usand Canada are currently very concerned to promote. The web site of the American Anthropological Association regularly features such contributions by anthropologists to public discourse, on topics ranging from race to ethics in research. An Honours Anthropology graduate from the University of Waterloo, who is employed OCGS APPRAISAL BRIEF - ANTHROPOLOGY (V. I) Page 29 of 29
teaching English in Korea, recently won a Korean essay competition on strategies for fighting I corruption. She hopes for a career in free-lance writing on cross-cultural issues and has said that a program like ours would have been ideal for her had it existed when she completed her BA (she did an MA in another subject instead). Students in our program will be encouraged to develop skills in communicating their knowledge to a broad audience.
5.1 Projected graduate intake and enrolments
We anticipate an initial intake of between 4 and 6 students (maximum) at Guelph and a maximum of 5 at Waterloo, for a total of approximately 10 students. We anticipate some modest expansion in the future. CHIEF LIBRARIAN

Dr. lsobel Heathcote Faculty of Graduate Studies University of Guelph
Dear Dr. Heathcote:
This letter describes the University Library support for the M.A. in Anthropology Program as set out in the appraisal brief submitted to theOntario Council on Graduate Studies.
The collection of materials acquired by the University of Guelph Library is currently adequate to support teaching and research for a Masters program in Anthropology. The University of Guelph Library is a member of a consortium of the libraries of the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier. This consortium, the TriUniversity Group (TUG), has led to many cooperative projects which have enhanced the access to materials for each library. Currently, the entire Library system comprises approximately 7 million volumes, including our own collection of 2.5 million, and over 14,000 journal subscriptions. The shared catalogue, TRELLIS, provides access to the total holdings of the TriUniversity Group of Libraries from one integrated database. All formats (books, serials, audio-visual material, archival materials, government publications and maps) are included in TRELLIS. The implementation of TRELLIS facilitates co-operationin purchasing, eliminating unnecessary duplication and overla~sin serial subscri~tions.Each universitv also benefits from the collection strengihs of the other two libraries. The university of Waterloo's collection supports an important Anthropology department. Wilfrid Laurier University's collection also supports an Anthropology Department. The monograph and serials holdings that support these programs are available currently to University of Guelph users. Furthermore, Waterloo is developing a joint M.A. in Anthropology program with Guelph, which will result in an increase in that institution's graduate level research collection in addition to the collection development taking place at Guelph.
To provide more effective communication and working relationships with the university community, the Senate Library Committee has endorsed a policy outlining collaborative collection development, enabling librarians and faculty to identify and develop resources for disciplines in a co-operative manner. Collection development for monographs has been rationalized and strengthened at Guelph by the use of a single vendor approval plan to ensure the regular arrival of appropriate materials in designated subject areas.

Over the past decade, financial support for library resources has been eroded by inflation and devaluation, but with the recent performance of the Canadian dollar, financial support has rebounded significantly. Acquisition funding in direct support of monographs for Sociology and Anthropology and has risen to over $40,000 (note: journals, databases, reference materials and government publications are paid by centralized Library budgets and are not included in this figure). This past year, the library has added approximately $10,000 to the Sociology/Anthropology budget specifically to support the development of a graduate level Anthropology program. The library has used this money to improve its Anthropology holdings in response to the proposal for a new M.A. in Anthropology program. Over the past months, a dedicated effort has been made to grow the collection, and hundreds of new monographs in Cultural and Social Anthropology have been ordered.
The Library subscribes to the complete suite of journals from: Elsevier, Springer, Wiley, Kluwer, Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, and provides access to journals from Proquest's Psychology Journals, JSTOR and Project Muse packages:~he Library provides access to most of the journals classified under "Anthroaoloav" bv the authoritative Journal Citation Reports database, and provides access 'to aibf tie highest impact factor ~nthro~olo~~'journalsas rated by ' ~ournal Citation Reports.
The Library provides access to a growing collection of electronic books through netLibrary (approximately 6,000 in all). Online reference resources are available, including Oxford Reference Online and xreferplus which provide access to specialized business dictionaries in addition to general reference works.
Through a cooperative arrangement with the Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL), the Universitv of Guelph offers free access to Reworks bibliographic management software. ~efW&ksallows users to create their own database of citations for journal articles, books, websites and other important sources. With this software users can create correctly formatted bibliographies and manuscripts in various styles (e.g. APA, MLA, Chicago Style, etc.).
Beyond Guelph's own collections, a variety of delivery modes provide students and faculty with rapid access to external materials for research purposes:
Access to titles held at other TriUniversity Group libraries is provided free of charge with a typical turnaround time of one to two days.
Journal articles not available at any TriUniversity Group library can be ordered directly by faculty and grad students from two commercial Document Delivery services - ClSTlSource and lngenta, with a typical turnaround time of one to three days. Dr. lsobel Heathcote Page 3 2511 012005
When unavailable within TUG or from a commercial source, journal articles and books are borrowed from other libraries through the Library's Document Delivery and Interlibrary Loan department. Requests are made through the interlibrary loan online system, RACER, which allows users to simultaneously search across 20 Ontario University library catalogues, as well as national and international online catalogues.
Since 1999, the Library has housed a Learning Commons, providing a range of student learning support services. Current partners in the Learning Commons include: Learning and Writing Services, Library Centre for Students with Disabilities, Library Instruction Services, Research Help Services, Student Technology Consultant Program, Supported Learning Groups and ESL support. The goal of the Learning Commons is to create a single location where students can get assistance with many aspects of the learning process.
In addition, the Library's Data Resource Centre, a collaborative project with our TUG partners, the university of Waterloo Information Systems and Technology, and the Universitv's Com~utinaand Communications Services, orovide comorehensive access to digital bata res'ources and to other data centres. skiilid support fir the development and delivery of data resources (CANSIM II, ICPSR, Statistics Canada, etc.), government publications and mapping resources (including GIs) is provided to users through the Government Publications and Data Resources service point.
Assistance with database searching is a part of the Library's information service intended to provide in-depth, comprehensive, selective access to information. Faculty and students in the proposed program will have access to databases focusing on academic literature, including Anthropology literature and related disciplines. All databases are now provided by the Library via the Internet and may be searched by users themselves in the Library, from offices, computer classrooms, or from home. For example, the Library currently subscribes to:
African Journals Online Historical Abstracts America History and Life JSTOR Anthropological lndex Online Latin America Database Anthropology Plus PAlS International Arts & Humanities Citation lndex Readers Guide Full Text Canadian Research lndex PsyclNFO Dissertations & Theses Online Social Sciences Citation lndex eHRAF Collection of Ethnography Sociological Abstracts Ethnic News Watch Source OECD First Nations Periodical lndex Women's Resources International Gender Watch World Bank elibrary Geography Worldwide Political Science Abstracts Global Views and Voices
The Library provides access to the core research databases in Anthropology, such as Anthropology Plus and eHRAF. We also provide access to many interdisciplinary Dr. lsobel Heathcote Page 4 2511 012005 databases, as well as to databases in closely related fields of study. For databases that do not include the full-text versions of articles, the Library has implemented OpenURL link resolver technology, allowing students to follow a direct link from the index to an electronic version of the requested journal article.
We propose that with additional subscriptions we can ensure access to an even richer array of resources for this M.A. program. Some databases which would be useful for the program include AnthroSource, a complete electronic archive covering widely-read American Anthropological Association (AAA) journals. AnthroSource would provide students and faculty with current online access to over 30 peer reviewed journals. Some of these journals we have access to in print only, while for others we have access to only older issues via JSTOR. AnthroSource would help to complete Guelph's collection in terms of access to important Anthropology journals. It is available for a yearly subscription rate of only $945 US.
Due to the large numbers of students and faculty interested in Latin American studies, is HAPI (Hispanic American Periodicals Index) would also be useful for this program. HAPI is an important source for authoritative, worldwide information about Central and South America, Mexico, the Caribbean basin, the United States-Mexico border region, and Hispanics in the United States. From analyses of current political, economic, and social issues to unique coverage of Latin American arts and letters, HAPI Online contains complete bibliographic citations to articles, original literary works, and other materials appearing in more than 500 key social science and humanities journals published throughout the world. Many of the citations are linked to full text. HAPl's yearly subscription rate is $1,600 US.
The University of Guelph Library is committed to the development of students who are informed users of appropriate paper-based access tools and electronic information technologies and who have knowledge of the role and function of libraries as gateways to information retrieval. Students should have the skills to critically analyze and identify an information need and then must be able to develop suitable strategies to locate and access the resources that will meet their need. The Library's information literacy program includes tours of the building, generic classes open to all users, course-specific instruction at the request of faculty, and a variety of web-based support tools. The Library's graduate orientation program offers assistance in research methodology and an in-depth introduction to research materials crucial to thesis preparation and course work. These sessions include reference to materials available at this University and to searchlretrieval methods for both print and electronic information resources available throughout the world.
The reference and study facilities available to the faculty and students in the University of Guelph Library are also supportive of the teaching and research programs in Anthropology. Reference service is provided from reference desks on the first and second floor of the Library. TRELLIS workstations are located adjacent to reference desks so that students and faculty can receive help searching for resources, checking the availability of materials, placing holdslrecalls, and querying their own circulation records. Individual unassigned carrels are available for about 10 percent of Dr. lsobel Heathcote Page 5 2511 012005
the total undergraduate student body: approximately 400 undergraduate carrels, 250 individual or group tables and 9 group studies are available. In addition there are 325 research carrels and 110 closed studies assignable to graduate students as need warrants. The Library provides access to 300 computer workstations and 100 laptop computers are available for loan. The Library alsomaintains an adequate array of whotoco~iers.networked comrmter minters. audio-visual. and microform reader and ;eader-irinte; equipment which is monitored by staff throughout the hours of service (normally 7:00 AM to 2:00 AM).
We are prepared to answer any further questions and we would be pleased to provide additional information or answer specific queries if consultants are invited to take part in the appraisal process. In the meantime, we believe that the Library's holdings of monographs, journals; and government publications are sufficient f& a positive appraisal of the M.A in Anthropology program.
Yours truly,

Allocation from the Library Acquisitions Budget
* During 200412005 fiscal funds for Approval plans were centralized and the allocation went from $39,531 to $38,481 by moving $1,050 to the central Approval budget. The figures pertain only to firm orders and book series standing orders.
The allocation and expenditures do not include journals, e-journal suites, e-books, annuals, indexes, or any reference materials. COLLECTIONS POLICY SUBJECT: SOCIOLOGY/ANTHROPOLOGY
GCeral Purpose
The general purpose is to collect materials in the subject of Sociology to support research and graduate teaching to the Master's level. For Anthropology, materials are collected to support undergraduate study and instruction. Particular emphasis is placed on rural sociology; social change; women in development; education, employment and the workplace; race, ethnicity, and native studies; appliedlpublic anthropology and the Canadian institutional structure.
Collection development should be maintained at the level of current collecting intensity objectives by the effective use of funds available each year.
Languages
English is the preferred language, but publications in other languages (e.g., French, German, or other Western European languages) may be collected as dictated by research needs.
Geographic Areas
Materials from any part of the world may be collected to support teaching and research programs, subject to the language limitation. Primary emphasis is on Canadian and North American and developing countries.
Chronological Limitation
Material with a recent imprint date is preferred, however important or representative materials ranging from the late 18th century to the early 20th century that pertain to sociological theory and methods are also collected.
Types of Material Collected
All relevant monographs, government documents, and research reports are emphasized in print or microform format, but other types of materials may be considered, e.g., CD-ROM, theses, motion picture films, or audio visual.
Types of Material Excluded
Normally manuscripts, rare books, patents and computer software are not acquired.
Access and Related Resources
Many external resources can be identified through the Library's catalogue. A broad spectrum of additional information and collection resources may be made available through cooperative arrangements and be accessed via library servers, the Internet, document delivery, and interlibrary loan.

Archival and Special Collections 4E
Because the historic cumculum of one of Guelph's founding colleges, the Macdonald Institute, was centered on the domestic arts and family life in general, related rare and archival items are regularly acquired. In addition to the records listed below, there are collections that contain diaries or correspondence written by women, such as the John Macintosh Duff and Lizars family papers, which reflect the home life and social events of earlier periods.

July 23,2005 September 8,2005 Date Date Appendix: Collection Levels
Six numeric codes establish a standard terminology to express assessments of the Existing 1 Collection Strength (ECS) and Current Collecting Intensity Objective (CCI) levels. These codes reflect a broad national or international perspective relative to the universe of publications.
Code Label Definition
0 Out ofscope The Library does not collect in this subject area.
1 Minimal Level A subject area in which few selections are made beyond very basic works.
2 Basic A selective collection of materials that serves to introduce and define Information a subject and to indicate the varieties of information available Level elsewhere. It may include dictionaries, encyclopedias, access to appropriate bibliographic databases, selected editions of important works, historical surveys, bibliographies, handbooks, and a few major periodicals.
3 Study or A collection that is adequate to impart and maintain knowledge about Instructional a subject in a systematic way but at a level of less than research Support Level intensity. The Collection includes a wide range of basic works in appropriate formats, a significant number of classic retrospective materials, complete collections of the works of more important writers. selections from the works of secondarv writers. a selection of representative journals, access to appropriate machine-readable data files, and the reference tools and fundamental bibliographical apparatus pertaining to the subject. At the study or &s&ctional support level, a Collection is adequate to support undergraduate study and some graduate instruction in master's degree programs.
4 Research A collection that includes the major published source materials Level required for dissertation and independent research, including materials containing research reporting, new findings, scientific experimental results, and other information useful to researchers. It is intended to include all imuortant reference works and a wide selection of specialized monographs, as well as a very extensive collection ofjournals and major indexing and abstracting services in the field. pertinent foreign language materials are included. Older material is usually retained for historical research when pertinent. A collection at this level fully supports doctoral and other original research by faculty. 5 Comprehensive A collection in which a library endeavours, so far as it is reasonably Level possible, to include all significant works of recorded knowledge (publications, manuscripts, other forms), in all applicable languages, for a necessarily defined and limited field. This level of collection intensity is one that maintains a "special collection"; the aim, if not the achievement, is exhaustiveness. Older material is retained for historical research with active preservation efforts.
.....Continued Eight alphabetic language codes amplify the ECS and CCI levels. As with Collection Levels, language coverage is viewed in the context of the universe of publishing rather than local perceptions of need.
Code Definition
.English language material predominates. Little or no material in languages other than English is collected.
French language material predominates. Little or no material other than French is collected.
English and French materials predominate. Little or no material in languages other than English or French is collected.
Selected non-English material included in addition to English material.
Selected non-French material included in addition to French material.
Selected foreign language material included in addition to English and French material.
Wide selection of material in all applicable languages. No programmatic decision is made to restrict materials according to language.
Material is primarily in one foreign language (excluding French or English). The overall focus is on collecting material in the local vernacular. BOARD OF GRADUATE STUDIES PROGRAMS COMMITTEE October 11,2005

REPORT FROM THE COMMITTEE ON UNIVERSITY PLANNING Chair: John Livernois For Action: Pro~osalto Create a College of Management and Economics MOTION: that Senate approve the creation of a new college, the College of Management and Economics with the proviso that a more fully developed plan, including budget details be provided to SCUP by April 1,2006. Membership: M. Mancuso N. Sullivan C. Beattie C. Brown D. Castle M. Emes S. Kremer J. Livernois P. Purslow J. Willcox A. Lister G. Gray OFFICE OF THE PROVOST AND VICE-PRESIDENT (ACADEMIC) To: Kate Revington, Acting Secretary of Senate John Livernois, Chair, Senate Committee on University Planning From: Maureen Mancuso, Provost Re: Proposed College of Management and Economics Date: 1 December 2005 In Winter 2005, the President and the Provost requested a review of the organizational structure of the Faculty of Management. This request was driven by a number of issues: the desire to increase the visibility and profile of both the undergraduate and graduate MBA programs; the opportunity to leverage increased enrollments into opportunities for innovation in teaching, learning and research; and concerns regarding the "Faculty" structure and its ability to provide a strong framework to support these growing programs in achieving their academic goals. In response to these concerns, the Provost seconded Professor Chris McKenna from his position as Associate Vice-President Research to conduct a review of the administrative and managerial structure of the Faculty of Management. Professor McKenna, working with the dean of CSAHS and the Dean of OAC, conducted the review over the course of the summer and provided an interim report to the President and Provost in April 2005 and a final report in August 2005. The Provost subsequently brought the final report before VPAC at its retreat in August and the report was then publicly released to campus at the beginning of the fall semester. At its retreat, VPAC did a thorough vetting of the report and focused a significant part of its discussion on the issue of governance. The consensus of VPAC supported the recommendations articulated in the McKenna report. Organizing the existing Faculty of Management into a new College would provide the University a better framework to advance teaching and research. Moreover, a new College would distinguish itself from a typical business school by highlighting Guelph's unique strengths in management and leadership, while building upon our values and core mission. The Dean of CSAHS and the Dean of OAC were subsequently charged to work with Chris McKenna to develop an implementation plan to bring forward to SCUP within the context of the recommendation from VPAC. An agreement has been reached between the two deans as to the composition of the new college. The departments of Economics, Marketing and Consumer Studies, and the School of Hospitality and Tourism Management, as well as 6 faculty positions from the department of Agricultural Economics and Business will come together to form the proposed college of Management and Economics. There has also been agreement reached about the course complement that would move to the new college. GUELPH . ONTARIO . CANADA NIG 2W1 . (519) 824-4120 . FAX (519) 767-1693 www.uagurlph.ca On the basis of this agreement, a process has begun to create a budget for the new college. Initially,' this will include the marginal additional costs associated with a new dean. There is strong support for this initiative from the members of VPAC. We are looking to SCUP and then Senate for its approval in principle of the creation of a new college. Following the precedent set with the creation of CSAHS, at that point an interim dean would be appointed for a 3 year period from the faculty and if approved at Senate it is anticipated that the new college would formally be instituted for the new budget year which would allow sufficient time for the finance office to disaggregate the budgets of the two colleges to take out personnel and associated costs for the individuals who will move to the new college. A detailed business plan, including fundraising targets for discussion with the President will be developed. Throughout this review process the President has been exploring opportunities for considerable investment for personnel and facilities and as with FES a draft budget will come back to SCUP for its consideration. Once the college is operational, it will be subject to the same budgetary process as the other colleges and will participate in the Integrated Planning process. UNIVERSITY if@JELPN[ COLLEGE OF SOCIAL AND APPLIED HUMAN SCIENCES Officeof the Dean Noveniber 22,2005 Professor John Livenlois, Chair Senate Committee on University Planning Dear John: I am writing to confirm that the Dean's Council of the College of Social and Applied Human Sciences (CSAHS) strongly suppoits the creation of a Collegc of Management and Economics (CME). The CME is seen by Dean's Council as a natural evolution of the Faculty of Manage~ncnt(FoM), and indeed of CSAHS itself. While the FoM was an improvcmet~t on the Business Council, it has struggled to produce the desired level of visibility for management programs and to serve consistently as an effective framework for innovation. This is not a condemnation of the efforts of participating units, but a conunent on the limitation of a "faculty" in university dominated by the college structure. The discussions around the possible formation of the CME have revealed the extent of untapped opportunities and potential for the new college - in undergraduate aud graduate programming, and in research and outreach. For the iivc academic departments that will remain within CSAHS should Senate approve the establishmeilt of the CME, the transfer of responsibility for management and business programming to another college will both demand and facilitate a re-focusing of effort on social science and related professional programs. The loss of Economics, long a core social science discipline, to CME will be keenly felt, but we are reassured by the department's commitment to maintaining its contribution to the BA program, including the international development major. Similarly, there is a positive prospect for the continued contribution of CSAHS units to management programs and a strong likelihood that new areas of collaboration between CSAHS and CME will emerge. In tern1.s of process, the extensive and multi-layered consultation with faculty and staff in affected units, and with student groups and alumni, has been most ably coordinated by Dr. Chris McKenna. 1 have acted in a resource role for this dialogue, but taken a more overt, lead role in discussions with OAC and with the CSANS Student Alliance. Yours sincerely, _ISI %tun E. Joseph, Dean College of Social and Applied Human Sciences GUELPH ONTARIO . CANADA . NlG2W1 .

Summerlee Chair of Senate Dear President, I am unable to attend Senate to discuss the creatlon of a College of Management and Econom~cs (CME). I would therefore like lo record by support for the proposal. It will contribute to the strength of the university and towards the implementation of your plans for our evolution. I believe there are three issues which may engage senators, and I would like to indicate my satisfaction with all of them: I. Impact on Agricultural Economics ind Business (AEB). underlying the Senate document is an exchange of letters between myself and Drs McKenna and Joseph, dated October 17 and November 12. Dr Bredahl was involved in fashioning my letter and is aware of the outcome. These indicate our agreement that AEB will, as the majority of its faculty wish, continue toexist as a department and within OAC. This will ensure the maintenance of the university's strength in agricultural, food and renewable resource economics and agribusiness which are essential to our reputation, the OMAFRA agreement and our industry/community clients. Elsewhere in Senate we propose the re-naming of this department to better reflect its new, narrowed mandate. Recognizing that transfer of about half the undergraduate teaching from AEB to CME will create challenges, Drs McKeima and Joseph are supportive of our wish to develop new courses (to CIDS) and to teach into Guelph-Humber. 2. Financial implications. In the absence of any publicly-available business plan, some of my colleagues are understandably concerned about the cost implications of creating CME. Again, understandably, there is speculation that this will be a very costly exercise. . . I am reassured that the costs will be modest and that there is a good likelihood, albeit confidential, that hase-funding (for salaries and student scholarships) will be forthcoming from external benefaction. 3. A one-time change.No-one can expect that the future will not bring further changes, but I am reassured, and believe OAC alumni especially need reassurance, that the creation of CME and the changes in AEB are one-time changes and that they do not represent a piece of an unfolding plan which, deliberately or otherwise, would progressively weaken OAC without obvious benefit to the university as a whole. lth the proposal, and if I was present I would vote for the creation of the CME.

Fax (519) 824-0813 www.oac.uoguelph.ca Proposal for the creation of a College of Management and Economics Presented to the Senate Committee on University Planning University of Guelph 1. Background: There are three principal motivations behind the proposal to create a College of Management and Economics (CME). One is to provide an effective administrative framework to deal with the growth in the BComm program that has occurred over the past ten years, and the need for future change. The current Faculty of Management structure has been unable to internalize some significant challenges in course and section offerings, and the Faculty is not a budgetary unit. There is a sense that the current structure makes positive change and further development of business and related areas very difficult, despite the best efforts of successive Associate Deans of Management and the Dean of CSAHS (the designated dean for management). Second, within the University's college structure, the enrollment in BComm courses arguably justifies the creation of an administrative unit to manage this program. There are eight majors within the BComm, most with co-op options, and total FTE enrollment in 2004-05 was in excess of 2000. Third, the college will create a more focused academic group with a higher profile, which in turn might attract benefaction for buildings and scholarships for students. Although the success of the BComm program is a key platform for the creation of the CME, other very important academic factors come into play. The proposal includes the bringing together of three major units (Economics, Hospitality and Tourism Management, Marketing and Consumer Studies), and with them a variety of undergraduate programs outside the BComm, successful graduate programs (MA, MSc, MBA, PhD) and professional development programs. In addition, several colleagues in the business area in Agricultural Economics and Business are proposing to join the new College, and there will likely also be joint appointments with Psychology. The emergent vision for the new College therefore recognizes the diversity of learning experiences, as well as the high quality and richness of scholarship. The process that has led to this proposal has been thorough and as consultative as possible. An Interim Report was presented to the President and Provost in April 2005 and a Final Report discussed and approved by VPAC in August 2005. Constructive discussion on the Final Report has been continuing since. Along with the Grant report on the Faculty of Environmental Science, the Report on the College of Management was discussed widely. A summary and context piece may be found at http://www.vpacademic.uo~uelph.ca~veac2005A summary of the process leading to this point may be found at the end of this document. 2. Vision and objectives: A detailed vision and mission statement for the CME is a work in progress. However, such statements will reflect two principal elements. First, the CME represents a natural evolution of the development of business and management interests at Guelph, and in particular, it is a necessary transformation of the Faculty of Management. The mission of the CME will be consistent with that of the University of Guelph as a whole, namely to be a research-intensive, learner-centered college devoted to management, economics and related social sciences. All of the contributing units have emerged from a strong social science tradition at Guelph, dating back to the Macdonald Institute and Wellington College days. That tradition continues with broad research interests and breadth of programming. From these emerge some broad principles: CME will be comprehensive, and respect and encourage the broad range of academic endeavour that the contributing units and faculty bring with them CME's graduates will have a balanced view of business and its role in society and an informed understanding of economic development, and will be prepared to contribute positively to the variety of business and non-business communities they will participate in throughout their lives CME will seek close collaboration with other academic units across the UG campus and with the Guelph community, and will have strong relationships with organizations in multiple sectors and industries across Canada that increase and enhance our students' learning opportunities and the faculty's research capabilities CME will be an active contributor to the University of Guelph's continued reputation for social awareness and innovation CME will continue to build on the success of the BComm program by retaining its breadth and by enhancing the quality of the undergraduate experience This list is not exhaustive, but carries the important message that the new opportunities that the formation of CME present should not be sought at the expense of the achievements, distinctiveness and quality of scholarly activities and programs of the contributing units. Management-related programs at Guelph are often said to be 'hidden'. The BComm program is the third largest in Ontario and, despite its success, has been constrained in recent years by a lack of visibility. The CME is seen as an important vehicle to address this perception. It is recommended that CME develop an enhanced marketing strategy and, in consultation with Student Affairs, find ways to enhance co-op and career services. The aim is to enhance the standing of our business degrees and to improve the employment prospects for our students. CME does not set out to be an exclusively undergraduate college. The college will inherit well-established and successful graduate programs, many outside of the business area. In addition, CME will continue with new initiatives at various stages of discussion and preparation. The PhD in Management, for which the OCGS brief is in an advanced stage of preparation, is a particularly important example of new programming. Discussions have also been held around the possibility of extending the cluster of specialized MBAs in collaboration with CPES and OVC. 3. Structure: It is proposed that the College of Management and Economics (CME) be composed initially of the Department of Economics, the Department of Marketing and Consumer Studies (MCS).,, and the School of Hosoitalitv and Tourism Management (HTM). It is also proposed that a new department bk creaied within the new college as a hoke for accountancy, and general business, to be labeled Department of Business. Future evolutions bf this shucture are likely and are certainiy not ruled out. The Centre for Studies in Leadership also becomes part of the new College. Under the proposed structure, the current Faculty of Management will cease to exist. The functions of the Faculty of Management will be assumed by the CME, its Dean's Council, and program committees. These include administration of the BComm program, the MBA programs, the MA in Leadership, and the coordination of the Guelph contribution to Guelph-Humber programs in business. The leadership role previously exercised by the Dean of CSAHS will be transferred to the Dean of CME. Departments will continue to offer programs outside the business area. Economics will continue to have majors in the BA and BSc(Env) programs as well as its MA and PhD programs. MCS will continue with its successful and distinctive MSc program. Also, as with other colleges and programs at Guelph, departments (e.g, Agricultural Economics and Business, to be renamed) which are outside the CME will be encouraged to offer majors within undergraduate and graduate programs which are administered by the CME. The CME will be structured in a similar way to other colleges at Guelph. The Dean's office will be staffed appropriately to support the many activities of a comprehensive college (see below). In the transition and beyond, attention will be given to support for student and alumni groups. Maximum flexibility and opportunities will be given for students and alumni to identify with those departments, programs and precursors to CME as they wish. A proposed budget is in preparation. Because of the transformation of the Faculty of Management, not all costs will be incremental. Budget will be sought to cover the following principal appointments: 1. Dean (academic administrative appointment, new) 2. Associate Dean, undergraduate programs (academic administrative appointment, existing) 3. Associate Dean, graduate programs and research (academic administrative appointment, new) 4. Director, CME advancement (50% shared with AA&D, new) 5. Manager, Finance & Administration (50% shared with financial services, new) Counselling services and support for the MBA programs are already in the Faculty of Management budget. In addition, the creation of a new Department of Business will require a chair's stipend and modest secretarial support. Some instructional areas in the BComm program are under-resourced. Consistent with the resource base, a request will be made for additional faculty positions. An initial priority will be placed on additional positions in the accounting area, but a full review will likely reveal other areas in need of additional resources. Space is an unresolved issue at this point. Ideally, the CME would be brought together in one, or a small number of locations and there will he a need for a number of short-term solutions. Discussions have been initiated with the Provost on this matter. 4. Implementation issues: Assuming that this proposal receives Senate approval in December, the following timeline is proposed: January 2006: appointment of an interim dean for a fixed period January - 30 April, 2006: initial transition period During the initial transition period, the interim dean will be charged with: a. Continuing to engage the community in discussions about the vision and mission of CME. b. Development of a marketing strategy for the new college and its programs c. Development of a detailed business plan which, consistent with current discussions around integrated planning, includes enrolment ambitions across all programs, and funding from all sources. d. Establishment of a new Dean's Council and other structures to replace the current Faculty of Management. e. Continue to move forward with various initiatives, including the PhD in Management. f. In consultation with the Faculty Association, Human Resources, and various bargaining units, the realignment of staff and faculty into the new college and the establishment of clear reporting structurcs. g. Preparation ofjob fact sheets and job postings for new positions according to a prioritized list. h. In consultation with the Provost's office and JFPC, review required changes to Faculty Policy and other university policies to recognize the new College. This is expected to be largely an editorial exercise. May 1 2006: formal launch of the College as a constituent part of the , university and budgetary unit (coincides with the start of the university's financial year) May 1 2006 onwards: continuation of the transition process. Some issues to be addressed during this phase are: a. Continuation of the recruitment efforts initiated earlier b. Establishment of the Department of Business c. Search for the Chair, Department of Business d. Initiate Calendar changes for course codes and titles. This is expected to be an editorial exercise. 5. Implications for CSAHS and OAC: The proposal for the formation of CME has implications for other colleges on campus, in particular CSAHS and OAC. The migration of three units from CSAHS allows for a refocusing and visioning exercise centred on the remaining five units. OAC is also undergoing a number of substantive changes which will take account of the formation of CME. CME is seen as continuing to have very close links with both CSAHS and OAC. 6. Consultation process: Discussions on the formation of the College of Management and Economics were initiated in January 2005. After initial meetings with all units involved in the BComm program, a working group was established composed of the chairs of each unit, an additional faculty member from each unit, a staff member from the Faculty of Management, three undergraduate students and one graduate student. Discussions of this group, which were relayed hack to departments, led to a preliminary report in April 2005 by Chris McKenna and Alun Joseph. Following the preliminary report it was clear that three departments/school (Economics, HTM, MCS) wished to continue to contribute to the discussion as whole units, but evident that only a subset of faculty in two other departments (AEB and Psychology) were interested. In early summer, this smaller group engaged in a SWOT analysis, which was again shared with units for comment. In August, Chris McKenna and Alun Joseph were asked to make recommendations for consideration by VPAC. This was to coincide with other recommendations regarding Faculty of Environment Science and the School of Engineering. VPAC supported the recommendation that we move forward with the proposal for a new college and that it enter into the university's governance/approval process. Other groups consulted at various stages were Student Affairs and the Faculty Association. There was a considerable amount of fact-finding about the experience of other comparable institutions. 5 Following VAPAC approval and on the instructions of the Provost, the Deans of OAC and CSAHS had consultations with faculty in AEB and Psychology respectively about their preferences regarding location; namely, to stay in their current department or to move to CME. In all cases, the wishes of faculty have been respected. The Deans, Provost and Chris McKenna have similarly agreed on the distribution of courses between the colleges, subject in some cases to approval by the program committees. In these discussions, every effort was made to address issues comprehensively, so that an incremental approach to the transfer of faculty and responsibilities would be avoided. The Deans have agreed that, given the revealed preferences of faculty and distribution of instructional resources known at this time, they have explored fully the opportunities to the mutual benefit of CSAHS and OAC, and the establishment of a strong and vibrant College of Management and Economics. 7. Key recommendations: 1. The University establish a College of Management and Economics. 2. The College of Management and Economics establish a Department of Business in addition to the three units joining CME from CSAHS (Economics, HTM and MCS). 3. CME implement the agreed distribution of faculty, staff and courses. 4. AE&B change its name, effective 1 January (subject to a separate proposal to Senate). 5. A report be given to Senate, three years from the establishment of the CME with further recommendations, if necessary, for the future development and growth if CME.

Students participating in exchange programs pay full-time tuition fees at their home university, but select their courses at the university they will be visiting. The grades are recorded there and forwarded to the home institution at the end of the semester or academic year. Courses taken on exchange will appear on the transcript as non-specific University of Guelph courses and will be graded using the OutstandingPassLFail format. Grades will be determined by the Study Abroad Manager using an official transcript submitted by the host institution. Informal exchange programs where a formal agreement does not exist must be conducted by means of a letter of permission and tuition fees will be paid to the receiving institution (refer to Section VI--Schedule of Fees). The application deadline to go on exchanges in 2006-07 is February 10,2006.
