REPORT OF THE BYLAWS & MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE Chair: David Calvert, CIS [email protected]~
For Action: a. Bvlaw Amendments
Membership of the Senate Awards Committee
Since 1996, the bylaw of the Senate Awards Committee has indicated that the membership should include, among others, "five members of Senate, two of whom shall be students, and one of whom shall be an alumni." In practice, this has never been followed. Instead, each year since 1996 there have been 3 faculty members of Senate, two student Senators and an alumnus. The Bylaws and Membership Committee considered whether to revise the bylaw to bring it into line with practice or to insist that practice conform to the bylaw. It decided that the former was the better option to ensure that quorum requirements can be met and that there are a sufficient number of Senators on the Committee from which to draw the Chair and Vice-Chair.
MOTION: that the membership of the Senate Committee on Awards be amended to read: "Six members of Senate, two of whom shall be students and one of whom shall be an alumni". b. Faculty Seat on the Board of Governors
To be dealt with in closed session. Ballot attached for Senate members.
In accordance with the Senate Bylaws, nominationsfrom thefloor are permitted to provide alternative candidates for any slate presented by the Bylaws &Membership Committee. Such nominations much be accompanied by a completed nomination form (obtainablefrom the Secretary of Senate) and the nominee must have indicated, in writing, a willingness to serve on the Committee.

REPORT FROM THE BOARD OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES Chair: J. Walsh, HTM
For Action: a. Academic Consideration for Religious Obligations - Policv Amendment
Concerns have been raised that the University's policy on accommodation for religious obligations is inadequate. While in practice students have been, for the most part accommodated in a reasonable wav... the wording- of the current calendar statement implies that such accommodation is a privilege rather than a right and does not provide any safeguard that the accommodation provided will not put the student at academic disadvantage,- leaving- the University vulnerable to a human rights challenge.
Accordingly, a number of amendments to the wording of the policy are being proposed including a recommendation that it be made a separate paragraph in the calendar under its own heading (currently it is printed in the section on academic consideration). In developing the new wording the policies of other universities in Ontario were reviewed and the proposed new wording is consistent with policies elsewhere.
As with the current policy, the student must self-identify and the initial request for consideration is dealt with by the instructor for the course. Subsequent appeal to the department chair by the student has also been retained in the revised policy.
For units, such as OVC, which have clinical or other types of practica instruction elements in their programs, students may need to identify potential conflicts earlier than the policy indicates. These units should be sure to advise their students of the need for earlier reporting at the appropriate point.
The redrafted section is attached.
MOTION: that Senate approve the proposed amendments to the Policy on Academic Consideration for Religious Obligations. Academic Accommodation of Religious Obligations (changes in bold)
The University acknowledges the pluralistic nature of the graduate and undergraduate communities and that accommodation will be made to students who experience a conflict between a religious obligation and scheduled tests, mid-term examinations, final examination, or requirements to attend classes and participate in laboratories. The type of accommodation granted will vary depending on the nature, weight and timing of ly, the reauest for
the instructor in charge of the course within two weeks of the distribution of the course outline. A student requiring accommodation -st.tg-t& instmqtor ?dxeqtlyeorzthrough hislher program counsellor. The instructor has a responsibility to provide reasonable alternative arrangements that do not put the student at an academic disadvantage. In the case of a conflict with a final examination, the instructor should reschedule the examination to another time during the examination period taking care that the new date and time does not put the student at an academic disadvantage. Stdents
In the event that a student is not satisfied with the accommodation offered by the instructor, helshe may appeal to the Department Chair who may grant alternative accommodation. A student who remains dissatisfied with the outcome of hislher request may seek the assistance of the Human Rights and Equity Office to facilitate a resolution.

The Academic Schedule of Dates was developed in accordance with the principles approved by Senate. Some particular points to note:
. Early add periods have been provided (August 18-24 and December 8-14) to facilitate semester start-up . Fall Convocation has been moved to the third week of October to avoid Thanksgiving and Yom Kippur . Winter 2004 start-up t University re-opens January 5' t Add period runs for six days - January 5-12 t Late Registration runs from January 5-7
MOTION: that Senate approve the proposed Schedule of Dates for 2003-2004 as presented. c. Bachelor of Science - Proposal for a Biological Chemistrv Program (attached - page 27)
MOTION: that Senate approve the proposed Bachelor of Science program in Biological Chemistry. d. Associate Diploma Programs

jar each new program or for changes to program regularions andlor admission requirements, detailed information must be supplied as follows: NEW PROGRAMS (DEGREE, MAJOR, MINOR, AREA OF CONCENTRATION OR AREA OF EMPHASIS)
NOTE: ~eknon-core programs (degrees and majors) require MTCU funding approval. Such proposals must address the hiormation requested on the "Institutional Check List". Please contact Kate Revington (ext. 3899; k.revineton~,exec.uoeuel~h.ca)to determine if a submission to MTCU is needed New degree, rnajor,.or minor proposals must also be reviewed by the Entailment Coordinaring Committee (ECC). Please contact Kate Revington for the ECC template.
1. Rationale: What is the rationale for developing this new program? Why is there a need for it? What sort of enrolment is anticipated? What will the impact be on existing programs, i.e. will students move to this program from existing programs or is this program expected to attract new students?
I. Rationale and Need: a) Biological Chemistry is a rapidly developing area, lying as it does at the interface of bioiogy and chemistry. Some of the most exciting research is being done at this interface and it is clearly a growth area. Evidence for this can be found, a) in the increasing number of majors programs in this area offered by other universities, b) in the recent introduction by several world class scientific publish.ing agencies of new journals in the field including, Chemistty and Biology, Bio-Organic and Medicinal Chemistty, Bio-Organic and ~edicinaiChemistv Letters, Biornacromoiecules, ChernBioChern, c) in the growing use by biologists of the analytical techniques, e.g. nuciear magnetic resonance, X-ray diffraction, mass spectroscopy, scanning probe microscopies, etc. which are the tools of the trade used by chemists, and d) in the increasing number of faculty, worldwide, working in areas that cross traditional boundaries in the biological nd chemical sciences. This list is a reflection of a growing breed of scientist, one who can executeorganic and norganic synthesis, who is trained in the tools analytical and synthetic chemists use to determine structure and bonding at the molecular level, but has expertise in the expanding fields of biology and genetics that have in recent years moved toward the molecular level.
b) The Chemisfry side of the Department of Chemistiy and Biochemistry has, in recent years, actually acquired strength in the area of the pioposed program, driven by the burgeoning interest in this area, and so the planned program matches these recent hirings, e.g. Auzanneau (bio-organic chemistry and glycobiology), Schlaf (bio-organic and bio-inorganic chemistry), Houmam (biosensors). Furthermore, others in the Department have been developing interests in the biological areas over the years, viz. Bunce (chemical and biochemical toxicology, effects of environmental contaminants), Lipkowski (the study of bio-molecUleS on surfaces), Schwan (phospholipid synthesis). The recent hirings and the proposed Program, are thus consistent with the Aims and Objectives of the University. Further hirings in this interdiscjplinary area will be sought; indeed there is a commitment from the upper administration for just such a strategic mope on the part.of the Department. Through CFi and NSERC fhnding, equipment has been assembled in the Department to supportthe research of the above mentioned faculty in the described areas. In addition, a mandate of the proposed Advanced Analysis and Training Facility (AATC) is the support of analytical tools (e.g. NMR. XRD. MS) for chemical and biological molecules, e.g. protein crystallography and NMR, proteomics (using MS), etc. Clearly, within both the Department of ChemistiylBiochemistry and the University, there is ashift in this direction and the Department would be derelict in its offerings to the next generation of students if it did not mount such a program.
c) Other Ontario Universities have been scrambling to introduce Bioioglcai Chemistry majors programs. For example, similar programs have recently been introduced at McMaster and York, while Toronto has had such a program for some time. Still others have options where a Biological emphasis is incorporated into Chemistry based programs. [t is clear that Guelph, with its strong commitment to the Life Sciences would benefit from such a program. ,) Feedback from students to indlvlduai faculty members, to members of the Curriculum Committee, to Program Counsellor;, and from the president of the Chemistry/Biochemist~Club, has indicated very strong support for such a program. This has been confirmed by the student representative on the Curriculum Committee. Numerous students have expressed a strong interest in a program that would connect chemistry and biology. Indeed a common response is that "...I would have taken this program if offered ..". W~ththe Life Sciences emphasis at this University, and the employment opportunities available, many students recognise the need for a strong foundation in the chemical/physical isciences with its emphasis on understanding molecular properties, structure, dynamics, etc. and yet call for linkages to pe biological sciences. In addition, synthetic organic chemistry, the Cornerstone Of the pharmaceutical and many other tndustr~esis very strongly supported by the students in the upper level courses, and this program is one that will provide enhanced career opportunities, not only in this area, but also in several related Sectors of modern chemical and biologicai science. There is the potential for interest amongst medical and biomedical students.
e) o or some time the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistr'/ has recognised the need to offer such a Program. With the faculty in place, with more in this field intended, and with the possible departure of the Biochemistry . component of the Department to the College of Biological Science (CBS),'this is an appropriate time to bring this need to fruition. The biochemists, with an independent curriculum committee, have redesigned their Biochemistry Majors program, which previously was intimately linked to a large number of chemistry Courses, to one which has moved away from chemistry, more toward the biological sciences. The proposed Biological Chemistry Program fills the gap arising from this shift in emphasis of the Biochemistry program, whilst at the same time extending opportunities to attract to Guelph those who have both chemical and biological interests and who wish to have a more bioiogical approach to their chemistry. The recognition, is of course, that this is a biologically intensive University, and so the proposed program adds strength to that view. Such a program should have happened a long time ago.
The need for distinct "Biological Chemistry" and "Biochemistry" Programs reflects the evolution of these scientific disciplines. Biochemistry was once taught, in many universities, as a sub-discipline of Chemistry, starting only in the upper years. But the vast expansion of the science has given biochemistry an increasingly independent pedagogy, beginning in the earlier years of study. Furthermore, the incorporation of biochemical approaches into so much of modern biological sciences has greatly increased the demand for biochemistry graduates as core personnel in companies and departments focused on pharmacology, biology, medicine, and so On.
It is now necessary to develop two distinct programs. "Biological Chemistry" retains the model of a chemistry-focused
program into which courses in biochemistry are incorporated. It is suited to the growing demand for chemists trained in I lynthesis, spectroscopy, and analysis who have a good understanding of biochemicallbiological molecules and rocesses. For example, in the pharmaceutical industry, organic chemists designing and creating new chemical entities once worked largely in isolation from the biomedical scientists who tested the pharmacological properties of the compounds. Now, however, the scientists are usually integrated into teams, and thechemists are expected to have some understanding of biochemistry and allied disciplines. The "Biochemistry" Program, in contrast, reflects a philosophy in which biochemistry is the focus discipline, almost from the beginning; other sciences, including chemistry, playing support roles. These graduates are as likely to make use of their training in genetics, immunology, and microbiology as much as their chemistry courses. They may be heading for careers in biomedicine or biotechnology, but they are not likely to find themselves doing chemical synthesis or analysis.
The Biological Chemistry Program thus has a strong selection of required organic(0rganic i, 11, Ill, organic reactivity, and a newbio-organic chemistry course) and inorganic courses (Chemistry Of the Elements I and 11, and bio-inorganic chemistry) right up to fourth year, togetherwith a third year analytical Course (Instrumental analysis). lo contrast, the Biochemistry Progri'm has5~nlyone required Chemistry (as distinct from Biochemistry) course (Organic 11) beyond 2nd year, focussing as it does on important areas of modern Biochemistry.
Such distinctions have been recognised at other universities where there are Chemistry and Biochemistry Departments, either academically linked or independent. Several of these have recognised the need and have introduced Biological Chemistry Programs in addition to running Biochemistv and Chemistry Programs.
II. Anticipated enrollment: Based on our experience with the B.Sc. (Tech.) Program, and discussions with faculV and student representatives we anticipate an enrollment of about 20-25 students per year after the Initial induction period. Of course, dynamics change and with further integration, worldwide, of the physical and biological sciences, these numbers could increase in time. Ill. Impacts: +, The impacts can only be positive-in that a new interdisciplinary program Spanning the physical and bioiogical sclences will be available at Guelph. Those who want the depth of physicai science coupled with the excitement of the biological sciences will be attracted to this Program. We hear from the students that this is what they want. Impacts on existing arograms will be such that some of those in Chemistry (Hons.) may Want to take this program, those in8iochemisti-y rho want a more physical approach to their science will have such an opportunity. it is uniikeiy th-at committed 'jological Science students will be tempted. .,nportantly, however, we anticipate that new students will be attracted to the University and this Program based on the strengths of University in the Biological Sciences, the opportunity to take such a Program that straddies these key disciplines, and the acknowledged high profile of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry.
2. Objectives: What are the objectives ofthis program and how does it serve the undergraduate curriculum?
The objectives and outcomes of this Program are to: a) Provide training to students in synthetic, mechanistic and analytical techniques at the interface between chemistry and the biological sciences. b) Provide training. in the analytical tools beneficial to choosing a career path that crosses traditional scientific boundaries. c) Provide opportunities for students interested in career areas that require a multi-discipiinary undergraduate education in the bioiogical and chemical sciences, i.e. provide career paths that mesh with the need for multi-talented, weil-trained, individuals with a wide, but rigorous expertise. d) Satisfy the requests of students who want chemistry with a biological emphasis, and who prefer the more "physical" approach of the College of Physical Sciences (CPES).
We regard the introduction of this program as a major contr~butorto the Aims and Objectives of the University
3. Learning Objectives: How will this program enable students to achieve the University's learning objectives, and which of the learning objectives are particularly addressed?
jeveral of the University's learning objectives will be achieved with this Program: i Depth and Breadth of Understanding. The interrelationships bebeen disciplines, the connections between the fundamentals of a molecular based physical science approach, to the evaiuation of the ideas and schemes of biological process and function is fundamental to the program. The intent i3 to challenge the students beyond thinking solely of one discipline in a vertical hierarchiai fashion, but instead to assist them to think laterally, bringing in ideas and methods ranging from physics, through chemistry to biology. The student integration of knowledge and the ability to generate new understandings of science must be at the core of this program. A clear example would be in organic synthesis where, in a mainstream chemistry view, one is just learning clever methods to manipulate and change, say, functional groups On a molecule, whereas by taking the broaderview and understanding the connection to biological processes and modes Of functioning, the students can gain a better appreciation and understanding of how "it all hangs together". It is fervently hoped that such an approach can foster another Objective, Love of earning. Understanding of Forms ofEnquiry. The program is at the essence of the s'cientific method where students learn to be:active enquirers aria are taught to understand the strengths and limitations of the various scientific . approaches. Here,'too, they will be encouraged to understand the methods and applications of a wide range of technologies, each with its own set of limitations and advantages, each requiring rational choices to be made in terms of selection, capability and usefulness to a given intellectual challenge. It goes without saying that the Learning Objectives of Literacy and Numeracy are embedded within this approach. Independence of Thoughf, wili be encouraged throughout the program. in Such a program, alternative methodologies and techniques will become apparent to the student, and the students will be encouraged to be active learners, evaluating, considering and rationaiising.
4. Adminisnation: What depamentlacademic unit will be responsible for the administration of this program and for counselling students? What consultation bas taken place with other de~amnen~/~rogms/instimtionsparticipating in the program? The ~epaeiinentcf Chemistry and Biochemistry will administer this program and counsel students. Other depattments have been consulted (attached) regarding their course offerings which have not hitherto been in a Chemistry Program.
$5. Resources: What are the resource implications of this program? How will the program be funded? x~ 1 All but one of the courses (including electives) proposed in this program are presently offered in the calendar at the appropriate times in the academic year. The exception is the new course (CHEM"4740) for which the documentation (Form E) is attached. Instructor resources will be required for this course; faculty are available at present, and we anvcipate further hirings in this important area to provide diversification. There is the possibility that an additional lab section be required for CHEM'4540; as a lab intensive course the labs function on quanta of 12 students. The program will be funded by the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry.
6. Library resources: Does the library have adequate resources to provide for this program (consult T. Sauer, ext. 3 150)? A copy of the library's assessment must be attached.
Tim Sauer and Alan Gale have provided an assessment (attached). The conclusion is that the current library resources are satisfactory to support the proposed program.

Academic department responsible for the new course, CHEM'4740: chemist^) and Biochemistry.
This offering will. provide, at the 4Ih year level a course which Connects chemistry tO the biologicai world. It is a required component of the new Biological Chemistry Program which is intended to be at the interface of chemistry and biology. Apart from this overarching requirement, there are additional needs for such a course. The largest enrollment in senior chemistry courses is that in organic chemistry courses, students have expressed continued interestin biological applications of chemistry, and they recognise the need to be trained with interdisciplinarity in mind, together with the problem solving skills of chemistry . This proposed offerjng provides more choice in Course selection at the 4" year level, whilst also being of interest to students in biochemistry and the biological sciences.
The course addresses several of the University's learning objectives, chief among these are: Understanding offorms of Enquiry. The content of this Course is at the essence of the scientific method where students learn to be active enquirers and are taught to understand the strengths and limitations of the various scientific approaches. It goes without saying that the Learning Objectives Of Literacy and Numeracy are embedded within this approach. Depth and Breadfh of Understanding. The muitidisciplinarily Of this course ensures the ability of students to extend their learning across traditional boundaries, to understand the complementarity of disciplines, and the ne, ad for such a broad view drawing on many, and varied, perspectives. Such an approach Can only foster another Objective, Love of Learning. Independence of Thought, willbe encouraged throuch the dialogue between the instructor and students. ln such i course, alternative methodologies and techniques will become apparent to the student, and the ensuing discussion can more fully ailow students to express their views, and enhance their problem solving skills.
ii a summary of material to be covered indicating emphasis and anticipated depth ofstudy
This course will cover selected topics in bio-organic chemistry at the introductov level. Modern synthetic methods applied to peptide, lipid and carbohydrate chemistry will be covered. The tools and techniques used in the experimental study of biosyntheticroutes will be introduced. This course will also describe the principles of molecular recognition at the atomic . level and introduce computational methods applied to molecular modeling and dug design. This course will be team taught, and at a level commensurate with some biochemistry background and a second semester of organic chemistry.
iii the method of presentation'(e.g. lecture, seminar, case study, etc.)
Lectures will cover the basic principles, with the use of case studies, literature reviews where appropriate. The use of presentations or seminars could involve guest industrial lecturers, e.g, for drug design in the pharmaceutical industry.

Dear Nick, Regarding: Biological Chemistry Major and MBGc2000, MBG*2020, MBG'4080, and MBGt3350 After our discussions at the E.Sc. Programe Committee meetings and elsewhere, I am able to respond as follows to your request for information regarding our courses and the new Biological Chemistry Major program. MBGc2000 -. required MBG*2020 - required MBG*4080 - allowable elective MBG*3350 - allowable elective For sake of discussion, let us assume that the Biological Chemistry Major will have 2'0-25 students per year, of which 5-10 might want to take one or both of the allowable electives. Some of these students might be drawn from the existing pool of Biochemistry Majors, who already require MBG*2000, MBG*2020, and MBG13350. Thus, the influx of "new" course clients will be somewhat less than the above numbers. The courses MBG*~OOO(Introductory Genetics) and MBG*2020 .(Introductory Molecular Biology) present no problem. They are already high-enrolment courses offered in all 3 semesters. These courses will probably find themselves in the new Clas~rOOmComplex that is being built. The course MBG*4080 (Molecular Genetics) is lecture-only and is offered yearly in the F semester. Roughly 40-50 students yearly have taken it in the past few years, and it has one GTA assigned to it. If it is an elective for Biological Chemistry Majors, then a dozen more students per year can be accommodated readily in existing classroom space and with the GTA allotted to it. The laboratory course MBG*3350 (Laboratory Methods in Molecular Biology I) is currently offered in the F and W semesters. In the F semester, we can accommodate 96 students in total.. In the W semester, we can only accept 48 students in total:,.

This Program makes use of many of our own chemrstry courses, some biochemistry courses and some from Micro and MBG. Yes, I've heard through the grapevine that your department 1s designing a new Biological Chemistry program. So, as part of assessing the impacts on your courses, I am following prescribed procedures by asking you about the following MlCR offerings. There are two MlCR courses in the program, both as restricted electives and the requirement is that: either, MICR*2020 or MlCR*2030 be taken. I think that either of these two courses will serve the Biological Chemistry program well in the long Nn. The students would have the necessary prerequisites. The anticipated enrollment in this program is reckoned to be, at least initially, 25-35 students, so I don't anticipate that these would cause you any problems. These numbers are not overwhelmingly large. 1 think we can handle them easily. A potential concergsforyou might be MlCR"2030 which is a 2-3 (is that a lab?). At th~sstage I have no idea of the number of students who would go for 2020 compared to going for 2030. Yes, the 2-3 in MICR'2030 means a 3-hour lab. The lab component of this course forms the foundation of introduction to microbial lab techniques and Prepares these students well for senior level courses later. The students has to work a bit harder than if they were taking 2020, but they will get a lot more out of it. At present, 2030 is quite popular and we already have several laboratory sections. However, if we have an increase in enrollment in the future, we are prepared to accommodate Biological , Chemistry students by opening extra lab sections. Pr~nredtor Nick wespood, 15 MarLUU2 , 11'15.

As noted therein, "all but one of the courses (including electives) in this program are presently offered in the calendar", For the existing courses a library assessment was judged not necessary. In the case of the new course, CHEM*4XXO - Topics in Bio-organic Chemistry, an assessment was carried out and the resulting document is attached. In general, the Library's resources were found adequate to support the course. UMIVERSlTY OF GUEFPH LlBRARY Library Report on Collection Suppori For New Courses DepartmenffSchool: Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Name of Courses: Topics in Bio-organic Chemistry (CHEM*4XXO) . . Overview of Courses: A one semester coursa covering the principles, methods and techniques of modern bio-organic chemistry with emphasis on modern synthetic and analysis methods applied to bioiogicai molecules, a moleoular-based approach to structure recognition and an iniroduction to molecular modelling and drug design. Collection Evaluation Results (Summary): I have read the information related to the course CHEMVXXO -Topics in Bio-organic Chemistry in the document 'Proposal for a Biologicai Chemistry Program from the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry.' In addition, I have reviewed the holdings of the TUG libraries in this subject area and done a variety of searches at the amazon.com web site to identify recently published, important works that no TUG library currently holds. Finally, I have considered the necessary access to the journal literature. On the basis of the information gathered I have concluded that the book holdings of the University of Guelph Library, supplemented by those at the University of Waterioo, are sufficient to support this course. Nevertheless, I have recommended the purchase of a small number of books. The ongoing needs Of this course can be accommodated within the Library's current coilection development activities. I have listed several forthcoming books that should be considered for purchase and, for completeness, those books of interest currently held by the TUG Libraries. Journal articles pertinent to the course can be identified using the ScjFinder (Chemical Abstracts), 'Web of Science', Biological Abstracts and other databases. The University of Gueiph Library offers full-text access to the suites of journals published by the American Chemcal Society as well as Wiley, Academic Press, Kluwer and Springer, among others. Document delivery services are available to retrieve those articles not held by the University of Guelljh Library o'r accessible electronically. For example, articies from journals held in paper format (and some in electronic) at the University of Waterloo can be retrieved quickly using the TUGdoc service. Undergraduates may request articles identified through the ClSTl Source database using interlibrary loan. A table summarizing the 'modes of access' for the 'new' journals in the area of Biological Chemistry, mentioned in the department's Proposal, appears at the end of this document. Two of the five journals are available electronically to Gueiph students. TWOof the remaining ones are available through TUGdoc at Waterioo. Under- graduates would have to obtain articles from the fifth journal using interlibrary loan since they cannot order directly through ClSTi Source. For the present, journal access is judged adequate to support this course. If there are any questions, I wouid be pleased to answer them. i Alan Gale, Liaison Librarian March 10,2002 Books recommended for purchase (in-print 1 iorthcorning) -. -. 2000. A.

A24 Associate Diploma in Turfgrass Management ' Rationale In March 2002, the OAC Dean's Office proposed a restructuring plan for the University of Guelph Associate Diploma Programs. Part of the plan was to discontinue the Agriculture and Horticulture diplomas at the Guelph campus and, in their place, develop a specialized, industry-focused Diploma inTurfgrass Management. In April 2002, the Provincial DiplomaPrograms Committee endorsedthe recommendation to develop this new program. The Guelph campus is uniquely positioned to offer a quality diploma related to managing turfgrass systems. Guelph is home of the first turfgrass research program conducted in Canada under the direction of the late Dr. Ralph Goodwin-Wilson. This effort formed the foundation for what is now Canada's most extensive turfgrass research program. The Department of Plant Agriculture has a commitment to turfgrass management expertise at Guelph with one turfgrass science faculty person and an expanding graduate student program. In addition to providing opportunities for graduate students to develop teaching skills, a Diploma inTurfgrass Management will be of significant value in reinforcing and building strong industry and alumni support of research and teaching efforts. It will also provide a strong link between faculty and turfgrass professionals working in the field. Guelph is internationallyrecognized as a centre for research, teaching and professional development programs in turfgrass science. The University has been involved in hosting two of the past five conferences of the International Turfgrass Society. Faculty members from a number of disciplines and University departments contribute to the breadth of expertise for both teaching and research. In recognition ofthe diversity of scientific interests in turfgrass science resident on the Guelph campus, a proposal for the development of a research centre focused on turfgrass science was developed in the late 1980's. The proposal for the creation ofthe Guelph Turfgrass Institute (GTI) was approved by the University Senate in 1987. A major fund raising effort undertaken by the turfgrass industry in cooperation with the University and the provincial government resulted in construction of the G.M. Frost Research and Information Centre which was opened on the Guelph Research Station in 1993. It serves as the focal point of the current research facility which covers 20 ha of research space dedicated to turfgrass and environment research. The physical resources of the institute are currently underutilized with regards to diploma and undergraduate teaching. . University of Guelph faculty and staff are also involved in several important industry professional development programs. The Ontario Turfgrass Symposium conference and trade show is operated as a cooperative venture between the University and several turfgrass industry associations. The University also provides the Turfgrass Managers' Short Course, a highly respected one month intensive program in turfgrass management. Additional short courses and research field days are provided each year. Turfgrass management faculty and staff also provide technical support to the Independent Study turfgrass programs. Externally, the University of Guelph is viewed as the centre of turfgrass science and education in Canada. The Associate Diploma in Horticulture has been well attended by students interested in a career in turfgrass management. However, students have been disappointed with the lack of specific I turfgrass management content in the program. Many graduates return to attend the Turfgrass Managers' Short Course, take more focused Independent Study programs or attend more specialized turfgrass management diploma programs offered by universities in the United States. The turfgrass industry throughout Canada has undergone a phase of continuous growth fueled by both increased demand in the golf sector of the industry as well as the need for recreational and amenity turfgrass created by an expanding urban population. Demand for graduates with specialized education in turfgrass management currently exceeds the available supply. The industry is also becoming more focused onprofessionalism and education with occupational standards having been developed for golf course superintendents and new certification programs under development for lawn care professionals. These developments are driven by a recognition of the increasing complexity of managing turfgrass systems. The development of a Diploma in Turfgrass Management will help to address the needs of the industry and continue to build on the expertise of the University of Guelph in this field. The industry is growing and becoming more technologically complex. A strong Diploma in Turfgrass Management at Guelph will appeal to Canadian students who may otherwise consider applying to American turfgrass management programs. The program and facilities available at Guelph may also attract international students from the United States, Europe and Asia. A maximum of 30 students in each of the two years of the program has been stipulated by the OAC Dean's Office.The proposed number of students will ensure a quality, training intensive program. With no requirement for multiple sections of courses, as is the case at present, scheduling and instructional difficulties will be reduced. It is anticipated that a turfgrass specific diploma will not adversely affect student numbers at the other campuses since the Guelph campus has always been recognized for its expertise in turfgrass. It is also anticipated that many students seeking a broader approach to horticulture will be attracted to the other campuses which will offer study across the breadth and diversity of production and amenity horticulture. Objectives - to create and deliver an industry-responsive, leading edge turfgrass management program that will attract students from across Canada and internationally; - to develop graduates that are critical, independent thinking professionals with superior problem solving skills; -to provide knowledge and skills that creates graduates capable of managing turfgrass systems in a responsible and environmentally sustainable manner; -to create alearning environment that fosters the practical knowledge and professional development of participating faculty, graduate students and staff; I -to foster a lifelong learning culture among the graduates of the program. . . University's Learning Objectives Each of the University's learning objectives will be met in the courses available for this diploma program. 1. Literacy. Oral and written communication are an integral part ofmany courses. Beginning in the first semester, students will develop short oral presentation and report writing skills. Expectations of both oral and written competency will increase as students move through the program. For example, in semester three, students will develop a computer assisted presentation that requires insight and understanding of a specific topic. The presentation will be delivered at a special student section of the internationally recognized Ontario Turfgrass Symposium. 2. Numeracy. As stewards of intensively managed landscapes, students require an understanding of mathematics for a variety of numerical applications like determining work schedules, planning major projects, applying fertilizers and pest control products as well as irrigation system design and operation. Several courses within the program will develop, and reinforce in a practical setting, the applied skills of measurement, calculation and interpretation. 1 3. Sense of Historical Development. The turfgrass industry has undergone significant change in the past 50 years. Students will gain an understanding of the historical origins of turfgrass management and the agronomic roots of many turfgrass management practices. The industry is currently undergoing significant changes relative to the availability and use of pesticides which are driven by both scientific and political elements of society. Students will gain insight into this process. 4. Global Understanding. Theturfgrass industry provides significant opportunities for professionals to pursue international careers. Students will learn the basic elements of turfgrass management practices in other climatic regions. Opportunities will also be provided for students to appreciate the broader environmentil impact of various elements of turfgrass management. 5. Moral Maturity, Turfgrass systems are complex, biologically based entities that defy attempts to provide prescriptive approaches to their management. Through course work, and specifically a strong emphasis on case studies and the development ofproblemsolving skills, students will develop observational skills that will allow them to creatively and ethically approach the many complex situations they will experience as professional turfgrass managers. 6. Aesthetic Maturity. Experienced practitioners consider the profession of turfgrass management to be both an art and a science. Aesthetic components of turfgrass systems (lawns, parks, golf courses) can often be ofprimary importance to users ofthe systems. Through courses in both science and design, students will gain a critical appreciation of the diversity of approaches, both created and , natural, to the design and maintenance of the variety of turfgrass systems utilized by society. I 7. Understanding of Forms of Inquiry. Through a variety of course work with elements of both the sciences (biology/agronomy) as well as the humanities (business, human resources and design), , students will gain a basic appreciation of the various forms of inquiry and their limitations in the evaluation and exploration of various situations and systems. 8. Depth and Breadth of Understanding. The program will move quickly from basic principles of managing turfgrass systems to a more comprehensive and critical evaluation of management techniques and the science behind them. Advanced courses will utilize extensive case studies as well as opportunities for students to approach practical situations in both individual and group settings. 9. Independence of Thought. Students will be provided with examples of challenges to existing and traditional approachesto the management ofturfgrass systems. In the second year of the program as the student's abilities and knowledge increase with both course work and practical experience, they will be required to work independently and in groups to creatively explore problems and develop creative solutions with increasingly less direct involvement by course faculty. 10. Love of Learning. Many students will enter the program because of their fascination with the game of golf, a desire to work in an outdoor environment, or a combination of the two. Once they begin their program, they will gain an appreciation of the implications of their studies. Many of the instructors will have teaching, research and industry careers which will provide role models for I students of individuals who combine their primary professional activity with a desire to learn and convey their knowledge to others. The competitive, dynamic and changing envimnment of turfgrass management will provide further motivation for students to develop a love of learning through their studies and into their professional careers. Administration The program will be administered by the Ontario Agricultural College in association with the various academic departments / schools in the College and University and' 'with the faculty and staff associated with the Guelph Turfgrass Institute. Resources A director 1 coordinator within the OAC Dean's Ofice will manage the day to day operation and details of the program. This person will have an important role in off-campus and on-campus liaison, course coordination, student advising and student affairs. The required summer work semester will also be the responsibility of the director / coordinator. This turfgrass program contains 24 new or newly structured courses. Nine courses (DTRF 1000, 1200,2000,2100,3000,3100,4000,4100 and 4300) are new andrequire aninstructor educated and trained in turfgrass science. The University has only one such faculty member, having teaching responsibilities in both diploma and degree courses as well as an active research program. In order to deliver a quality program and fulfill the potential described in this document, the University must ., commit additional resources to fill the void. Two additional faculty positions in turfgrass science must be forthcoming, with one of the two in place for the fall semester 2003. These two additional faculty positions will be critical to the proposed two degree programs in Turfgrass Management and Landscape Management. Fourteen of the 24 courses (DTRF 1100, 1300, 1400,1500,2200,2300,2400,2500,3200,3300, 3400, 3600, 4200 and 4400) are somewhat similar to existing courses in subject matter, however, must be restructured to meet the needs of the turfgrass-only focus of this new program. This restructuring will require instructors in a number of jurisdictions (Agricultural Economics and Business, Computing and Information Science, English, Environmental Biology, Land Resource Science, Landscape Architecture, Mathematics, OAC Dean's Office and Plant Agriculture) to develop and deliver "new" courses. Resources for course development will be required and must be forthcoming. The new Turfgrass Management diploma program will require access to the following institutional and externally supplied resources: - two new faculty positions in turfgrass science - sessional instructors - graduate teaching assistance (as indicated in course templates - 22 positions) - course development and restructuring - classroom / laboratory / greenhouse space and associated amenities - budget for field trips - equipment, equipment shop, tools, and equipment mechanic (GTI and industry support) - areas of various types of turfgrass (campus lawns and sportsfields, GTI grounds) - industry professionals for instructional support and equipment supply (loan) Consultation On June 3, 2002, thirteen people representing a broad cross section of the turfgrass industry met at the Guelph Turfgrass Institute. Kathy Biondi and Kathleen Hyland from the OAC Dean's Office facilitated the meeting and prepared the following summary. The results of the focus group were very encouraging. Everyone was supportive and enthusiastic that Ontario (Canada) would have a world class turf diploma. The clear message is that the College and the University must ensure the program is delivered with the commitment to resources (faculty, staff, equipment, etc.) that will be needed based on the excellence of the proposal. QUESTIONS: ) 1.The primary rationale for the initiation of this specialized program is that the industry has indicated a need for more in depth technical training, than provided in the two-year general horticulture diploma program. Particularly for golf course locations, employees are in demand that are technically trained in turf and competent in plant and soil sciences. Does the program address the rationale (the stated reason for development)? Glad to see this course offered Wants to know what texts will be used Ohio, Penn, Mich State U'shave a huge research base - be sure to tap this - U of G needs to become part of this synergy Where does the diplomafit - is it in depth enough? This is a science-basedprogram - good Need the chemistry, plant science, plant physiology Need to be practical - be able to identifiplants/weeds/pests Specialized =practical, not lofty - good Notjust designing an irrigation system, but more on how lo fix it when itfails Exposure to all facets of turf mgt Turf equipment IPM appears to be missing [actually IPM g incorporated] Try to use U of G faculty - and vaT the deliverers Basic science principles - grads need to be greens keeper and agronomist How to teach common sense? - concern the pro3 maybe too theoretical - needpractically oriented teachers Experience -should consider the seasonality ofthe turf industry - and aim to achieve practical experience throughout the year - review experience opportunities offered by industry The "internship" should be apaidposition OGSA employers should be asked to offer divers$ and range of experiences during internships 2. Do the courses as outlined cover the skills you feel are necessary to enter this career path? In other words, given the skills that are potentially developed by accomplishing this program, what is your feeling about employability (job readiness and opportunities) for the graduates? - A goodstudent from past year sought broad range of experiences himsev- as a result he had experience in everything - Potential for training on the job - an experiential semester (summer) is vev important - Experience semester is notjust technical skills - also "learning to work with people" skills Students need to experience building a soil fertilityprogram - apply the theory ofthe soils course into apractical workplace task Recommend that program allow students to obtain licences in pesticide application, including ability to calibrate and operate apesticide spryer. Need for constant renewal ofprogram by including industry perspective in regular reviews Grads would be highly employable as they wouldposses the most current information Do we impartjust the training or do we develop the potential for learning beyond the program? Encourage partnership with industry to deliver the course - engage instructors from industry who can provide more practicality than currentprogram Ensure sufJicientproportion of lab time to lecture time: 60% lab: 40% lecture; ensure a learning outcome oriented curriculum Drferentiation porn degree? More practical orientation Recommend that applicants have a letter of recommendation stating that at least one year of experience has been achieved at a turfgrass workplace (e.g. golfcourse) before being accepted into the program - lookfor practical experience in addition to basic high school completion; set a quota of mature students: high school grads since mix ofstudent base determines level of instruction; be sure not to preclude students based on academic averages Also recommend a required summer work term between Brst and second years 3. The curriculum development team made some assumptions during their process (for instance. that turf arads- need some understanding of landscape design) -- do you feel the assumptions were correct? That the program addresses all needs and is developed in a logical sequence? - "Yes" - landscape needs to be part ofaprogram focusing on turf management - What about inclusion ofthe "history" of the game -for instance how are greens built and why - Why "links" golfcourses - What about learning the rules of the game @articular& golf put perhaps other sports played on grass jelds]) - The program needs apractical approach - then the industry will gladly support with guest lecturing tours, workplacements, and ultimately jobsfor grads, - The business courses seem weak 4. Now that you have become acquainted with the proposal do you see this as a unique program appealing to aspiring turf management students across Canada -- or is it very much like other such programs (please specify)? Do you have any additional suggestions for enhancement or improvement? - Looks similar to aprogram at Seneca College -good to aspire to resemble university programs at Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, etc (world class programs) Quite a science orientation - questioned the needfor plant ID courses (memorizing long lists - whilefield guides are commonly used) The fact that the program is small is a uniqueness - grearer opportunities to mix with the profs, be known, etc. Would be great ifstudents in 2002 Sept could access some of the courses Program must be practical (like at community colleges) and fundamental (like the basis of degree study) - so ideally somewhere in between Success of the program will depend on caliber of the students + excellence in teaching by U ofGjbculty - then ensuring a high academic ouput will meet with broad industv approval Suggestion - that a systems, fully integrated approach to curriculum be invented- i.e. redevelop the roaster of courses into holistic themes, soils science-preparation-machines- grass-lawn maintenance-pest control - all in one course! [might be a bit too unconventional] Fully address all sports fields, notjust goy- could use UofGproperties as examplesjbr teaching 3-year program? Providejeld experience over two summers? Include agrometeorolgy: plant propagation; trees; leadership skills Engage students in aprogram that promotes professionalism and a problem-solving approach from the very first course: create framework for key issues in industry, develop teamwork skills, set tone ofprofessionalism Promote an ecosystem understanding - a living organism ecosystems approach: soil, water, rootzone - strive for balance ofpracticality, theory andproblem-solving Provide keys to understanding, identification ofplants vs. memorization Library Assessment i All Program documentation was forwarded to Tim Sauer in the library on May 30,2002 for assessment of library resources required. A phone message from Mr. Sauer on June 7 indicated that the person assigned to the task is away for the month of June. Thus a library assessment will not eve; begin untiiafter July 2,2002. Calendar Copy Associate Diploma in Turfgrass Management Admission Requirements - Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent with a minimum 60% average in the final year excluding workplace courses; - applicants who do not meet the above requirements may also be considered if they will be 19 years of age at the date of enrolment and have been out of secondary school for at least one year; - preference will be given to applicants with a minimum of one year's experience in the turfgrass industry; applicants must forward a summary or portfolio of their experience to University of Guelph Admissions; - prospective applicants are strongly encouraged to complete general or advanced, College (C), University OJ), or University/College (UIC) course types at the grade 11 and 12 level in mathematics, biology and chemistry. Associate Diploma Programs, Associate Diploma in Turfgrass Management Turfgrass management is a dynamic and growing sector across Canada and throughout the world. The Diploma in Turfgrass Management is a focused curriculum that will provide students with the skills to succeed in this competitive industry. The program utilizes the collaborative resources of the Guelph Turfgrass Institute which include University of Guelph faculty and staff, industry professionals and the grounds, workshop and laboratory facilities of the Institute. Practical and scientific study is combined with a required summer work semester to provide students with a wide range of experience and knowledge. The Diploma in Turfgrass Management is offered only at the Guelph campus and prepares students for a variety of career opportunities including golf course management, lawn care, sports field management, parks management, sod production and related supply and service businesses. All courses in the Associate Diploma in Turfgrass Management are restricted to students enrolled in the program. A11 students are required to work 111 time for at least 15 weeks in the summer'following winter TO: Kate Revington, Coordinator Undergraduate Curriculum Office of.the V. P. Academic FROM: Tim Sauer, Head Ext. 3150 Information Resources DATE: July 30,2002 SUBJECT: Proposed Diploma Program in Turfgrass Management ; Additional journal subscriptions and provincial association publications, as proposed in the attached report from Jim Brett, Librarian, will be purchased to support the proposed Diploma Program in Turfgrass Management. cc: Mary Buhr, Actlng Associate Dean, OAC Glen Lumis, Chair, Curriculum Planning Committee, Plant Agriculture Ron Pitblado, Chair, Provincial Diploma Program Committee, Ridgetown College Kathy Biondi, OAC Director of Academic In~tiatives,OAC Dean's Office Kathleen Hyland, OAC Dean's Office Jim Brett, Manager, OVC Learning Commons Encl. Library Resource Assessment for the Proposed Diploma in Turfgrass Management Introduction: <. This proposed program will create an opportunify for students to earn a diploma in the field of tutfgrass management. The program is intended to begin in the fall of 2003. Enrolment will be to a maximum of 30 students in each of the two years of the program. The University of Guelph Library has long supported teaching at the graduate and undergraduate level, and research to the doctoral level in the area of turf management. Our collections in the plant sciences, especially horticulture, are top-notch scholarly resources. Unfortunately our Library lacks some important journal resources to support diploma level work. These deficiencies will be outlined below, and suggestions to rectify them given. Resource Availabilitv: A. TRELLIS -the Library's Catalogue The Library, s catalogue is a joint venture between the University of Guelph, the University of Waterloo, and Wilfrid Laurier University (the TriUniversity Group of Libraries or TUG). A web-based platform (see the Library, s home page at http:llwww.lib.uoqueIph.ca~TRELLlS is a finding aid to all the resources of '; TUG. The catalogue is accessible via the Internet without restriction. 8. Book Materials The University of Guelph s holdings are fully adequate to support this new diploma program. The literature in the field of turfgrass management is not large and we have been active in collecting materials for many years. Our book collection is quite comprehensive regarding the academic and professional publications in this field. Mention should be made here of the support received from the Ontario Golf Superintendents Association which hasbeen contributing financial support to the University Library for the purchase of materials related to golf course management. Our catalogue lists over 100 titles dealing'with topics related to turf, turfgrass(es) and golf course management. Over 20 items have been added to Guelph s in this field since 1998. On a broader'scale our monograph collection in the plant sciences, especially horticulture are excellent and will be invaluable resources for the program. Where we might be seen to fall down somewhat is in the area of "extension" publications, for example those from Cornell University or Georgia State University. While not vital to the success of the program, these materials can be useful and instructive. Many of these are available via the Internet as well as in paper format. If the program proposal is successful the Library should undertake to investigate the availability of these kinds of material and acquire or provide access to those that support the curriculum. j Because of the teaching and research interests of various departments (for example, Plant Agriculture, Botany, Environmental Biology) the book collection related to areas of interest in turfgrass management are constantly being developed. The expenditure from the Plant Agriculture department ' s Library budget over the . ,, nine years from 1992 to 2001 averaged $65,000 per year for books and journai material to support teaching and research in this academic unit (see attached budget information), Obviously the expenditures on turfgrass related materials are only a small part of these budgets -the important thing is that there are significant financial resources available to continue to support teaching and research in this area. C. Journals An examination of the most recent ~ournalCitation Reports (JCR) . a standard tool used to determine the top journals in a given field, provides the following information.. In the subject category "Plant Sciences*, the 2000 JCR lists 137 titles. Of the top 35 titles Guelph holds 30. Of these 30 titles, 20 are available electronically, the remainder are in paper format. In addition, Guelph holds 66 of the top 100 titles in this category. Scholarly articles dealing with turf management are frequently published in journals such as Aaronomv Journal, HortScience, and Crop Science, each if which we own. We have excellent academic and scholarly journal holdings in the plant sciences to support undergraduate, graduate and faculty research. However, the journal holdings of the University of Guelph Library are still not adequate to support this new diploma program. The Library is deficient in regards to periodical publications produced by the turf management industry. This type of publication is essential to students studying the industry and preparing to partrcipate in it upon graduation. I have consulted with Dr. Rob Witherspoon of the Turfgrass Research Institute and he concurs that this type of material is requ~redto support the new program. Dr. Witherspoon has also suggested some titles that should be purchased. Attached as an appendix is a listing of turf management periodicals that should be subscribed to in support of this proposed diploma program. D. Databases (Journal Indexes) The Libraty provides access to the major database resources that index the contents of plant science journals. The following databases are readily available via the Internet through, the Library, s home page once the student has authenticated their access rights: ... . . D.1 AGRICOLA is a comprehensive index to agricultural and life sciences information. The primary focus is on the United States but there is international information as well. Subject areas covered include ail areas of agriculture and allied disciplines, such as plant and animal science, farestry, entomology, soil and water resources, agricultural economics, agricultural engineering, agricultural products, alternative farming practices and food and nutrition. The publication types covered include journal articles, books, theses, patents, software, audio-visual materials and technical reporis. D.2 CABDirect - CAB Abstracts provides abstracts of the international literature in agriculture, forestry, and allied disciplines, including: animal and crop husbandry, animal and plant breeding, plant protection, genetics, forestry engineering, economics, veterinary medicine, human nutrition and rural development. The ! 2 abstracts cover articles in 10,000 journals as well as books, theses, conference papers and reports. The ' abstracts are in English, prepared from documents originally published in over 70 languages. D.3 Plant Science is a bibliographic database containing citations and abstracts of scientific literature .. on plant science, focusing on all plant scientific aspects, especially on pathology, symbiosis, biochemistry, genetics, biotechnology, techniques and environmental biology. Over 250 primary research journals are scanned by specialized scientific editors to add approximately 23,000 titles to the database each year. Summary The University of Guelph Library must acquire the periodical titles listed in the appendix in order to properly support this program. The dollar cost is not high for these titles and they would seem to be an essential element for the success of the students taking the program.

NEW DIPLOMA PROGRAMS (ASSOCIATE DIPLOMA) 1. Rationale Industry participants attending a focus group on April 11,2002, at Ridgetown, identified the need for a 2-year educational opportunity for students in practical traming in the subject area we have named the "Environmental Management Diploma". Currently there are no colleges in southwestern Ontario offering a 2 yr. Environmental Technical program. Environmental Management offers students a broad variety of skills, a generalist philosophy that can lead to careers in public or private sectors. There is a knowledge gap that has resulted in a critical shortage of trained and qualified personnel to address current environmental issues such as: pending legislation regarding nutrient management, and farm plan development. concerns about large animal operations and how municipalities respond. a safe water from every tap in rural and small town Ontario. e ensuring the health and safety of agricultural and rural families with emphasis on wells and septic tanks. the need to retrain and replace sewage andfor water plant operators. a protection of natural habitats in a settled landscape for the benefit of species diversity and agricultural production. A large emerging area is in audit management and monitoring functions leading to the requirement of IS0 programs and possibly towards greater licensing requirements will require considerable expertise at various levels. Ground water issues are being reviewed along with septic tank and farm and municipal well compliance standards, all demanding a large new set of experts in the field. The Environment Management program will train and qualify candidates for careers with the following key skills: e the ability to assess resources, environments and production systems for environmental' impacts and opportunities for continuous improvement. a the technical knowledge and communications skills for effective technology transfer and adoption. the ability to work with and communicate with government organizations. a the knowledge of law and policy to guide action in accordance with institutional requirements. This program will lead successful candidates towards a number of certifications such as a Certified Crop Advisor, IS0 14000 Environmental Management Systems Certificate and a Canadian Environmental Certified Environmental Practitioner. Industry needs trained Environmental Technicians who can manage various mandated environmental programs that industry must implement in order to achieve compliance. Need Dictated by an aging workforce, early retirements have stripped regulatory agencies, industry and sewage and water treatment facilities of a trained experienced workforce. Environmental protection will require regulators, municipalities and industry to hire skilled workforce especially with pressures from the Walkerton tragedy and in light of O'Connor Report recommendations. The 2000 Angus Reid Poll confirms public concern across a wide range of environmental issues. A Needs Assessment document is available upon request. Anticipated Enrolment An expected minimum of 25 -30 first year students with 25 students the second year. A total yearly enrolment of 50-60 students is anticipated. Impact on Existing Programs There will only be an anticipated positive impact expected on the existing programs at Ridgetown College. It is assumed that there is no competition for the same students from the existing programs. The College does not currently offer any environmentally related programs. Other institutions offer environmental programs that are specific to certain industry sector needs. Currently the only Environmental Management program at the diploma or post diploma level is offered by Niagara College in the Niagara Peninsula. After consultation with their Program Coordinator the proposed program at Ridgetown College poses little threat to the Niagara College program. The Niagara program has been consistently over subscribed over the past several years and generates an employment rate of over 90% in their field of training six months after graduation. 2. Objectives Overall program objective is to graduate students with a strong understanding in the fields of environmental protection, and environmental management in the rural, municipal and industrial sectors. These skill sets will enable the student to find employment in the industrial, agricultural or public sectors. The program allows students to choose a list of course selective that provide additional focus on either a rural/agriculture or a municipallindustrial stream. 3. Learning Objectives Literacy Students will fulfill all levels of the literacy requirements. Students will write papers on assigned topics, and write research papers on topics of their choice. Students will complete a major environmental project in Semester 4 and give an oral presentation of their project. Environmental Issues, Environmental Law, Fundamentals of Government are courses that would require the above levels of literacy. Numeracy For the purposes of this discussion numeracy may be defined as the ability to use mathematics at a level and in a manner appropriate to good citizenship and to vocational fitness. Mathematics deals with quantity and form, with measurement, structures and relations and encompasses a richer intellectual domain than just the utilitarian skills of numerical computations. It is as a mode of thinking, no less than as a collection of useful techniques, that it justifies its place in any well-rounded cuniculum. Numeracy is a critical requirement for science courses in this Program. Examples where numeracy is required include Chemistry, Advanced Sampling & Analysis, Mathematics, Hydrology, Sewage Treatment, Water Treatment and, GISIGeomatics. Sense of Historical Develo~ment A sense of historical development will be developed throughout the Environmental Management program. To understand environmental issues and problemslsolutions the studeit must ;nderstand the historical development of the environmental movement and the perspective behind each issue discussed. Environmental Issues, Environmental Ecology, Fundamentals of Government, Land Use Planning, Waste Management, and Environmental Law are examples of courses that have a strong historical perspective that must be explored to put the course in the proper context for the students to appreciate current issues. Global Understanding It is important that students have a global perspective of Environmental Issues. Topics such as Population, Climate Change and Global Warming, Water and Air Pollution, Environmental and Waste Management, have strong global perspectives. Biology and Ecology are founded on the principles that the Earth is one interrelated system. Moral Maturity Moral issues will be discussed and are an integral part of the Environmental Management Program. Courses such as Environmental Issues, Business and Ethics and Land Use Planning and Issues are topics that lend themselves to the discussion of moral issues both on a local and global level. The constant challenge and conflict between economic development and environmental conservation and protection requires responsible decision making by environmental management practitioners. Through the use of case studes and other relevant examples students will explore moral issues and the consequences of decisions made and then discuss the positive and negative aspects of those decisions. ~esthetiekaturity Aesthetic valuing of the natural environment is critical to the sustainability of the Environmental movement. This topic lends itself to the study of Biological and Ecological Sciences, and Environmental Issues. The scientific method is covered in the environmental issues and science course. However the Aesthetic Maturity and the subjective values stimulate student inquiry, search for truth, information and understanding will be developed through the use of case studies, research projects and the fourth semester Environmental Project. Depth and Breadth of Understanding The objective of an Environmental Management Program must address topics of a multi disciplinary nature. Problems facing society today cannot be understood or resolved within a single discipline framework. The nature of Environmental Management requires a working knowledge of many disciplines and their interrelationships that effect environmental quality. Class discussions, case studies, project assignments, oral presentations will require an interdisciplinary framework. Independence of Thought Environmental Management by its nature challenges different points of view and perceptions as to what is good environmental quality. Courses such as Environmental Issues, Environmental Law, and Land Use Planning etc. force the student to form hisher own opinion and environmental philosophy and values. Love of Learning The number and quality of students that will apply for the Environmental Management Program proposed by Ridgetown College will demonstrate the love of learning. The typical student will want to take the program because of hisher concern for the challenges presented by a threatened and deteriorating natural environment. This will be fuelled by the desire to make their contribution towards maintaining and improving environmental protection. 4. Administration &dgetown College will be responsible for the administration of this program and the counselling of students. 5. Consultation Ridgetown College staff, University of Western Ontario Faculty of Geography sraff (Graham Smith), uni;ersity of Waterloo (Gordon Nelson), University of Guelph staff, Niagara College Nck Brady and Ian Smith) and a broad spectrum of Public and Private Sector Organizations and Environmental Engineering and Planning Consultants who deal with environmental management issues as a function of their day to day activities and responsibilities. Many of these representatives attended a Focus Group Session held at the College on April 1I, 2002. 6. Resources Five of the 24 courses are currently being taught. There will be need to hire additional staff to address the other course. We currently have interest fiom 4-5 individuals who have indicated a willingness in assisting Ridgetown College to teach the list of courses presented. With the anticipated in-take of students, the availability of classroom and laboratory space available and the enthusiastic support of the industry focus group the college feel that we will be sufficiently resourced to conduct a high quality and popular Environmental Management Diploma program. 11.

Metcalfe University of Guelph SENATE Tuesday, October 1,2002 REPORT FROM THE COMMITTEE ON UNIVERSITY PLANNING Chair: B. Allen, Mathematics & Statistics For Information: Report of the SCUP/BUGS Working Group on New Program Prooosals Last year the Senate Committee on University Planning formed a working group with the Board of Undergraduate Studies to put in place a comprehensive process for the development and approval of new undergraduate programs and majors. The working group was formed in response to concerns raised by the Enrolment Co-ordinating Committee about the proliferation (in number and type) of new program proposals, at various stages of development, across the University. Attached for Senate's information and discussion is a paper prepared by the working group which sets out a variety of models for new programs. Also attached is a summary of the process to be followed in developing a proposal, a revised "Form A" which describes the information to be included when a new degree, major, minor, area of concentration or area of emphasis is proposed, and copies of the MTCU documentation that must be filed when new "non-core" degrees or majors are proposed. Both BUGS and SCUP have reviewed the paper and are supportive of it. Members should note that in addition to the documents noted above, detailed templates, including budgetary templates and approval timelines, are being written to guide developers in preparing new program proposals.

Ridley 1 student TBA PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT SCUP DISCUSSION PAPER 13th May 2002 Models for Undergraduate Program Development General introduction Introducing new programs to the University is a complex process and takes a considerable amount of time. Programs have to be approved internally on academic and financial grounds, meet the UPRAC guidelines for program development, be approved by the Ministry to be offered for credit that is acknowledged and be accepted by the Ministry for funding. To attract students to apply for entry to a new program, material advertising the new offering must be available for guidance counselors more than one year ahead of the date of entry of the first cohort of students. This means that planning must be carefully coordinated to meet various conditions and deadlines. The material below is intended to provide a step-by-step guide for undergraduate program development including the development of majors and minors, articulation agreements and joint degree proposals with other institutions. Costs ofprogram deliven, Cost is an important aspect of program delivery. In an environment that is fiscally restrained, whlch means that decisions on allocations of funds have to be made selectively, it is essential to understand the costs of program delivery to justify why decisions, that might otherwise have academic merit may have to be taken. Such decisions must be a balance between the costs of introducing a new program or part of a program (major or minor) and the impact on resources to support currently offered options. Some of the costs of program delivery are clear. For example, the costs of faculty to develop and teach the courses, the materials used in the courses etc. can be determined. Some of the costs, however, are not obvious. It is tempting to assume that courses already available can be accessed by students in other programs, including new programs, and simply be "re-used" at relatively little or no cost. It is important to appreciate that there are costs in maintaining the system that supports a program including developing and maintaining pre and co-requisites for particular courses, traclung students, academc review, monitoring and maintaining provisional status, degree audit, reporting to the Ministry to obtain funding annually, graduation checks and graduation processes, including recently introduced requirements to report graduation and employment rates to qualify for specific funding from the government. Developing a realistic funding plan associated with new program development and approval for the additional expenses involved is therefore a critical part of any approval process. Put bluntly it 1s important to be able to balance whether it is more appropriate to place meagre resources in support of a new program or in support of additional faculty for established programs. To a lesser extent, but nevertheless also true, there are additional costs in mounting a new major which may not be immediately apparent. There are internal costs in managing enrolment, maintaining records on prelco-requisites and tracking progress towards graduation. There are also external costs in terms of reporting. Although it is tempting to imagine that taking existing courses and molding them together into a new major as a cost-neutral option, it does cost the institution. Again the challenge at the time of reinvestment and growth will be the balance between reinvestment simply for growth with existing majors or growth in terms of new majors. Planning proposal For the institution to be able to make decisions about development, growth and reinvestment, the Senate Committee on University Planning (SCUP) has suggested that a clear process should be established in which approvals can occur. This has to be a balance between the academic needs of the institution, innovation and the allocation of funds. The following proposal is set out in two parts: part 1 relates to new program development and part 2 concerns introduction of new majors. Part 1: Types ofnew vrograms There are several different types of programs that can be developed. The simpler programs are entirely internal to the University or involve articulation agreements with community colleges to facilitate transfer of students from college to university. The more complex programs involve integration of college and university courses to develop a joint program (often offering a diploma and a degree). Whilst other models are possible there are four different approaches that have been well worked out in terms of the approval mechanisms and funding arrangements. It is recommended that people intending to develop new programs should either follow one of the four models below and should discuss the matter at a very early stage with their dean and the Associate Vice President (Academic). If the proposed model cannot be funded within the complex rules set out by the government then the project may not be successful. Degree vrograms Degree programs are offered entirely by the University of Guelph. Honours programs (eight semesters) should contain courses which accumulate 20 credits. Degree nomenclature is reasonably standard (Baccalaureate of Science, Arts, Commerce or Applied Science): in some cases there may be a further qualifying statement e.g., BSc (Environmental Sciences). In general, operating costs of these programs are less than other models because there is less accounting- as the program. -. is entirelv internal and the reporting structure is similar to that of other university programs. If the program is approved by the Ministry, the University receives funding at a standard rate from the province for all four years of the program. The rate of funding is set by the Ministry and varies by program type and level of instruction. Normally the program is designed to admit the majority of students straight from high school i.e., with an Ontario Secondary School Diploma and the material is arranged to provide foundation information in the first year of the program with more integrative, synthetic material in the upper years of the program. The courses will have to be approved by Senate and there is a program check list which has to be completed before the material can be submitted to the Ministry for funding approval. It is expected that all departmentslcolleges involved in delivering any of the courses associated with the new program would be appropriately consulted before the material is brought to Senate for consideration. Critically this includes the Library. It is essential that Library assessment is completed early in the proposal. Developing a new program has significant financial implications for the institution in terms of government funding. Therefore, a working group will need to be established to develop a new degree program and that there should be an explicit connection between this working group and the appropriate Program Committee(s). The working group will be set up by the provost after discussion with deans and the Enrolment Coordinating Committee. The working group will be chaired by the dean of the College with the greatest level of academic interest and will have faculty from interested departments/schools and at least one representative of the Office of Registrarial Services. It is expected that the working group will be responsible for developing a business plan for the proposed new program. Further information on the requirements of the business plan and the implications for government funding should be obtained from the Director of Institutional Analysis and Planning. Articulation Agreements These programs are specific agreements between a community college and university. The principle of an articulation agreement is that a student in a diploma program at a community college is guaranteed a certain level of credit standing for transfer to a degree program. There is a provincial agreement about the level of credit transfer expected known as the Port Hope Accord. Information on this can be obtained from the Co- ordinator of Undergraduate Curriculum in the Provost's Office. Approval of these agreements is entirely internal to the University because it involves an agreement about transfer between two existing programs. The College reports student registrants and receives government funding at the college rate for the period of time students are in the College and the University reports student registrants and receives money during the time the student attends thk university. The reporting requirements are no different from the existing programs so the hidden costs of this model are negligible. This model is the simplest model to adopt and administer but is seldom used by students. Information collated from across the province shows that, with some specific exceptions, students do not use articulation agreements as a means to obtain a university and college qualification. The credit equivalency is not one-for-one based on the assumption that the college-level courses are not taught at the university-level. Therefore, students take longer than four years to complete. Development of articulation agreements should be managed through the relevant Program Committee. It is advisable to seek input from the Co-ordinator of Undergraduate Cuniculum in developing the material to forward to the Board and Senate, and ensure that the Enrolment Coordinating Committee is aware of the proposed development at an early stage. Joint, integrated diuloma-degree programs Guelph pioneered joint diploma-degree programs with the Guelph-Humber collaboration. Essentially students take a degree that is fully integrated with a diploma in four years. This means that all the courses are at the University level but must be approved by both the College and the University. Most, if not all courses have to be specifically designed or redesigned to meet the needs of this program. As the students are taking a four-year degree they are reported by the University and funded at the University level. Guelph then "reimburses" the College for their proportion of the activities which has to be negotiated. Further information on the implications for government funding should be obtained from the Director of Institutional Analysis and Planning. This model appeals to the government for funding and the applied nature of the programs and double qualification in the same time frame appeals to students. However, it takes a considerable amount of time and commitment from faculty from both institutions to negotiate, develop and implement the joint courses. After the courses have been approved, a program approval must be obtained from the Ministry before the program can be offered and the institutions can receive grant support from the Ministry. Developing a new joint program has significant financial implications for the institution in terms of government funding and there are political ramifications of developing partnerships between institutions in the province. Therefore, the first step in development of a new joint diploma-degree program would be to set up an exploratory working group between the two institutions. This will comprise the interested faculty and the vice presidents (academic) of the two institutions. It is anticipated that a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) would be developed which the presidents of the two institutions would sign. Part of this MOU would contain an explicit understanding of the governance structure that would lead to the development of university level courses to support the program and the involvement of the planning groups (including the Enrolment Coordinating Committee at Guelph) in the two institutions. Partially integrated college/university programs In some cases, articulation agreements or joint, fully integrated diplomaldegree .programs - are not appropriate but there is an interest in promoting collaboration between a Community College and the University and providing students with a clear path to a University degree. The partially integrated college/university program is intended to provide a degree program for a student using a combination of college and university courses. In some cases the student may also be awarded a diploma from the participating college in the relevant discipline. The program of study for the complete degree program including the courses studied at the college and university are more prescribed than an articulation agreement and there may be university or university level courses taught at or through the college. In addition, students are admitted directly to the partially integrated college/university degree program. Different approaches have been taken in the development of such programs including the degree to which courses may be jointly or partly developed as 'new' courses. Two options for a partially integrated program are available: 1. Honours degree program Students will be required to complete a standard 20-credit minimum equivalent degree program. All courses will be provided at the University level and will have to be approved by the Senate of the University, although some of these courses may be delivered and taken at the community college. In the case where a course is offered by the participating college, it will have to be approved as being equivalent to University degree level by Senate 2. General degree program Students will be required to complete a standard 15-credit minimum equivalent degree program. All courses will be provided at the University level and will have to be approved by the Senate of the University (see above), although some of these courses may be delivered and taken at the community college. There will be no specific requirements for residency for the partially integrated degree programs in either institution. It is anticipated that students will be registered and claimed as University of Guelph students and memoranda of agreements on reimbursement of the college will be developed. Developing a new partially integrated collegeluniversity degree programs has financial implications for the institution. It is essential that government funding can be obtained to support the program. Again further information on implications for government funding should be obtained from the Director of Institutional Analysis and Planning. The first step in development of a new partially integrated college/university degree program would be to set up an exploratory working group between the two institutions. This will comprise the interested faculty and the vice presidents (academic) of the two institutions. It is anticipated that a Memorandum of Understanding (MOW would be developed which the presidents of the two institutions would sign. Part of this MOU would contain an explicit understanding of the governance structure that would lead to the development of university level courses to support the program and the involvement of the planning groups (including the Enrolment Coordinating Committee at Guelph) in the two institutions. Principles to guide the development ofnew collene-universitv procrams Development of new college-university initiatives is strongly promoted by government ~ ~ - and encouraged by colleges who are looking for opportunities for co1labo;a~on with universities. It is vital that program development rests on a number of principles which include: 1. The proposed program should provide a quality educational experience for the student, including respecting and enhancing the reputation of the Guelph degree and the academic standards expected in a Guelph degree program whilst integrating the applied learning objectives of the participating college 2. The proposed program should provide enhanced opportunities for students by meeting student needs in an area where there is clearly defined demand for individuals with academic training in an applied field 3. The proposed program should be consistent with the goals and academic plans of the participating institutions, including enrolment and academic planning, and be within fiscal realities of program delivery (i.e., the program should not be a drain on resources of either institution) 4. The proposed program should be based on mutual respect and benefit of the two institutions and in most cases the proposed program would not be a mounted by either institution alone and would not compete with current enrolment activities at either institution 5. The proposed program should have a clear governance and approval process from the informa1 dissussion to the formalized proposal to be presented to Senate and to the Ministry for funding Part 2: Plans to introduce a new major There are financial implications for the institution for introducing new majors. Therefore it is important that there is an opportunity to discuss the academic imperative for a new major within a fiscal context. The development of a major should start within a program committee. The Enrolment Coordinating Committee should be informed early in the development process by completing the attached templates. The dean responsible for the program committee will be responsible for ensuring that two specific issues are addressed: (1) the Library resources required for the proposed new major and (2) the financial implications of the proposal. For the latter, it is expected that a working group including the chairs of departments that might be involved in delivering courses involved in the proposed major, the Registrar, the Director of Analysis and Planning and the Undergraduate Curriculum Coordinator would be involved in discussions to ensure that all aspects of the additional costs are identified. The Enrolment Coordinating Committee will be expected to advise the Provost on whether or not resources should be directed towards support of the proposal. OFFICE OF THE ASSOCIATE VICE-PRESIDENT ACADEMIC UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH PREPARING NEW UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE1 MAJOR PROPOSALS PROCEDURES PROCESS: When proposing a new degree program, a copy of the draft agreement must be submitted to the Board of Undergraduate Studies (BUGS) via the Enrollment Coordinating Committee @CC) and the Calendar Review Committee (CRC). A financial plan, which the Provost will review, must also accompany the draft proposal. A new degree or major is not officially a University of Guelph program until it has been received and approved by Senate. For a new degree program to be included in the Undergraduate Calendar and in any Admissions publications or marketing materials, the agreement must be submitted to CRC by April 1" for students to be eligible to enter by fall of the next year (not the same year). The agreement will go to CRC in April or May, and to BUGS and Senate in June or September. For example, an agreement submitted to CRC by April 1,2002 will go through approvals in the spring and fall of 2002, be included in the 2003 calendar, be promoted as soon as approved, and receive students in Fall 2003. This means that approvals by ECC , the dean, and the program committee must be obtained PRIOR to the April 1'' deadline for CRC. Therefore, the program was likely in development in 2001 and early 2002. Please be aware of the following timelines: . Preliminary proposal to ECC - Fall (year -2) . Ahssions consultation - Januaryfibruary [*Admissions must be aware of the program in order to include it in the Admissions Handbook, and to include it on the OUAC application] (year -1) . Consultation with Student Financial Services (tuition and OSAP issues) (year -1) . Dean and Program Committee consultation and approval - February or March (year -1) . April 1'' submission to CRC (year -I) . BUGS, Senate approval - Spring (year -1) . first cohort admitted - Fall of the following year (year 0) Documentation included with the proposal should include: . Program Information Calendar Template: Form A* . New Course Addition Calendar Template: Form E, if there are new university courses that are created to be part of the new degree or major)* 1 . Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities checklist* . Evidence of consultation with any college or department that will be providing courses for the new program, whether these courses are existing or will be new course additions. . Signed and dated letters of support and approval from any college, department, and/ or program committee that will be impacted by the new program. For example, new degree programs with a substantial business component should consult with the Faculty of Management program committee. .
