DATE: February 28, 2018

RE: 2018-19 Consolidated Budget Plan Recommendation

At the February 22, 2018 Senate Budget Committee meeting the 2018-19 Consolidated Budget Plan was presented including an overview of the process and guiding principles, the overall change in funds with emphasis on the operating fund, changes to revenues and expenditures, and review of strategic investments and allocations. After the presentation, the committee had opportunity for discussion and comment.

The following motion was made:

The Senate Budget Committee reviewed the 2018-19 Consolidated Budget Plan and recommended it be forwarded to Senate for information.

The following comments are included to reflect SBC feedback on the Consolidated Budget Plan:

• The University needs to find ways to support faculty and instruction in areas with expanding numbers of international students. • There was mention of funding to expand our brand but there isn’t evidence in the document that participation among local residents is declining. • We say we want more access to and participation in international experiences but there isn’t increased funding for this. • There could be more coordination of practicums and experiential learning. It would be good for the university to take a close look at coordination and funding for this activity. • The benchmark information is useful. It’s very helpful for SBC to see that we are not over administered or overspent in areas. This is an ongoing element of our work. • There was appreciation for a well presented and well prepared plan.

2018-2019 Consolidated Budget Plan Page 17 of 195 AGENDA ITEM # 3.1.1.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The UFV Consolidated Budget Plan for 2018-19 represents a balanced budget position. Within the balanced budget recommendation are allocations to meet obligations, address challenges and advance priorities.

The consolidated budget has grown by 5.5% ($7M) over 2017-18. Main revenue growth drivers are tuition from increasing numbers of international students and an increase to provincial grant funding to reflect the cost of salary and benefit costs negotiated under the economic stability mandate.

Negotiated salary increases and contractual cost obligations make up a significant portion of the increased expense budget. However, through reorganizations, re-allocations and investment of new revenues, the 2018-19 Consolidated Budget Plan moves the university forward in achieving its plans. Highlights include:

UFV Strategic Plan: Changing Lives, Building Community

 Reallocation of resources to build and strengthen community, government, industry and philanthropic relationships with the reinstatement of a Vice President External.  Additional investment in support of marketing and branding the university.

Learning Everywhere: The UFV Education Plan

 Investment in information technology architecture and educational technology to support long term planning, development and implementation of technology in learning;  Investment in agriculture programs and the Agriculture Centre of Excellence;  Grow Teacher Education;  Expand technology programming with the launch of Computing Science program;  Funding for practicum and work-integrated learning coordination;  Investment in student wellness, development, and accessibility services to increase student well- being and assist with student retention and success;  Reorganization of the Marketing and Recruitment units to support undergraduate student enrolment;  Investment in organizational development in support of recruitment and retention of faculty and staff and in developing leadership capacity in the university.

Indigenizing Our Academy

 Ongoing funding for indigenous student transition coordination to promote and support recruitment, retention and success of indigenous students;  Funding to support incorporating indigenous educational content and ways of learning into new and existing programming.

Internationalization Goals

 Investment in new and existing programming in demand by international students;  Investment in International office to support recruitment and retention efforts and to diversify the international student population.

These investments reflect a portion of the exciting work that is moving the university forward in reaching its goals. Throughout UFV, faculties and administrative units are contributing in numerous ways to make UFV the best undergraduate university and a great place to work.

2018-2019 Consolidated Budget Plan Page 18 of 195 AGENDA ITEM # 3.1.1.

BACKGROUND AND PLANNING CONTEXT

Changing Lives, Building Community, is central to UFV and gives direction to the many supporting plans of the university. Indigenizing Our Academy describes how the university will change to make room for the expression of indigenous culture and forms of knowledge. The Internationalization Strategy describes the roles that international students and international study abroad play in enriching the educational experience of our students. Institutional Learning Outcomes define what the UFV community sees as successful learning and, therefore successful teaching. Learning Everywhere: The UFV Education Plan, 2016-20 sets the academic direction for UFV by identifying specific priorities the university needs to achieve. These five central documents are supplemented by a set of more specific plans as illustrated in the diagram below.

3 | P a g e DRAFT

2018-2019 Consolidated Budget Plan Page 19 of 195 AGENDA ITEM # 3.1.1.

The Strategic Enrolment Plan and the Strategic Research Plan are consistent with, and support, the Education Plan. Faculty and department plans detail how these areas implement the central plans of the university.

The Human Resources Strategic Plan, the Capital Plan, the Budget Plan, along with University Advancement strategies, describe UFV’s available resources and how they are allocated to support the university’s goals. These areas provide the resources, be they human, physical, or financial, to achieve our plans. Lastly, the Accountability Report and Plan summarizes planning at UFV and reports on the university’s performance in achieving its own goals, as well as targets set by the Ministry of Advanced Education, Skills and Training.

UFV Strategic Plan: Changing Lives, Building Community1

The University of the Fraser Valley recognizes and embraces its responsibility to the students and the communities we serve. UFV’s vision, values and strategic goals guide the allocation of its resources.

Strategic Goals:

1. Provide the best undergraduate education in Canada; 2. Be a leader of social, cultural, economic, and environmentally-responsible development in the Fraser Valley; and 3. Be innovative, entrepreneurial, and accountable in achieving our goals.

Learning Everywhere: The UFV Education Plan, 2016 - 20202 The Education Plan is a product of broad consultation across the university community and the visioning exercise of the UFV 2025 that resulted in the UFV 2025: A Vision for our Future. The core of that vision states that

UFV in 2025 will be a community and regionally-based university that is learner and student-centred, whereby the learning drives the system and structure of the institution. Students and local communities will view UFV as a centre for intellectual and social development throughout their lifetimes, and as a place to learn how they can be better global citizens.

The Consolidated Budget Plan is the mechanism by which resources are allocated to achieve the university’s Education Plan and related supporting plans. Resource allocation decisions are focused on the five goals of The UFV Education Plan, 2016 – 2020:

1. Prioritize learning everywhere; 2. Commit to flexibility and responsiveness; 3. Collaborate across boundaries; 4. Develop local and global citizenship; and 5. Integrate experiential learning.

Indigenizing Our Academy: Strategic Planning Indigenous Post-Secondary Education at UFV3 Working in collaboration and in close partnership with Indigenous communities, their leaders and academic partner in the Fraser-Cascade, Abbotsford, Chilliwack and Mission School Districts, UFV strives to be both responsive and responsible to the Indigenous peoples’ goals of self-determination and well-being. Through the development of 8

Goals and Actions, UFV aims to become a place of learning that recognizes, respects and includes an indigenous worldview in all aspects of its day-to-day activities.

UFV Internationalization Goals: Beyond Local, 2017 - 20224 In times of increasing complexities around globalization, more than ever, institutions and communities need to be prepared to work within an international context. The following five goals demonstrate the university’s commitment to internationalization efforts.

 Increase access to and participation in international mobility experiences;  Expand the cultural diversity of the UFV community;  Design and deliver programs for a rapidly evolving global context;  Provide services and an environment that foster a sense of belonging;  Support the development of strategic partnerships.

Institutional Learning Outcomes (ILOs)5 Learning outcomes focus on producing graduates who will be creative and innovative, capable of self-reflection, ethical, and ready to contribute regionally and globally.

UFV Supporting Plans:

UFV Strategic Enrolment Management Plan, 2014 - 2019 6 The Strategic Enrolment Management (SEM) Plan was developed in 2014 and approved by the Board of Governors in September 2014. Adopting a definition of SEM Planning that was evidence-based to enable the fulfillment of our institutional mission and our students’ educational goals, nine key strategic enrolment goals with targets were developed through a consultative approach. The goals address undergraduate, graduate, aboriginal, international and transfer student enrolment, creation of Qualifying Studies, retention and graduation, experiential student experience and areas for program growth.

UFV Campus Master Plans7 The focus of the Campus Master Plans is on the effective and responsible use of buildings, land and current and future facilities. In 2016, the university completed the Abbotsford Master Plan in partnership with the City of Abbotsford that included the UDistrict planning process. This plan seamlessly integrates the Abbotsford campus and community to create a vibrant university community. The Canada Education Park (CEP) Master Plan was completed in 2010, allowing for programming flexibility and three growth phases. In 2013 the CEP Master Plan was updated to include the plans for the B.C. Agriculture Centre of Excellence.

 Digital Hub, Abbotsford campus;  Building Renewal and expansion, Abbotsford campus;  Agriculture Centre (Phase 2), CEP campus.

2018-19 Budget Planning Principles (Appendix A) Resource allocation is guided by the strategic directions and plans of the university as well as by the requirement to meet Ministry expectations and priorities.

Ministry Expectations9

The University of the Fraser Valley is a publicly funded institution under the Ministry of Advanced Education, Skills and Training (AEST). As a significant contributor to university funding, the provincial government is a key stakeholder setting expectations and priorities for post-secondary institutions and for UFV specifically. Provincial government direction to UFV includes engaging in a post-secondary strategy that responds to the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action; implementation of tuition-free adult basic education and English as a second language programming for domestic students; tuition-free education for former youth in care; expanding technology related programming; and improving student mental health, safety and well-being.

AEST provides funding for pre-established student enrolment targets, measured as full-time equivalent spaces (FTE). Institutions within the sector are expected to achieve 95% or higher of their respective targets. UFV’s target for 2018-19 is 6,676 FTE spaces; the budget supports the achievement of this target (Table 1).

The university is also funded by the Industry Training Authority (ITA) for trades programs. Funding for this programming is adjusted annually and is dependent on the number and type of programs approved in the annual work plan.

Annual Budget Process Annual budget development is a consultative process, beginning with the development of Budget Principles (Appendix A) in the spring and are approved by the Board of Governors in June. Budget Principles are developed with reflection of the external environment and the values important to the UFV community.

The preliminary budget position development began with forecasting revenues and contractual expense obligations. Preliminary revenues are informed by faculty enrolment plans and anticipated changes to grants and student fee rates. Preliminary expenses are informed by negotiated salary and projected benefit rate increases, as well as inflationary increases to licence agreements, utilities and facility service contracts.

In the fall, a university forum was held to discuss the status of university plans and provide an update on the budget development. Preliminary budgets were distributed to senior administrative budget centres in mid-October with submissions due early-November.

The Budget Office consolidated the budgets submitted by administrators for presentation to the Senior Budget Committee. Administrators met with the Senior Budget Committee at the end of November, creating an opportunity for questions, feedback and conversations related to portfolio priorities, opportunities, and challenges. These discussions also created an opportunity to identify common themes and to take a strategic institutional perspective toward aligning the various budget plans and allocating resources to institutional priorities.

The Senior Budget Committee presents the Consolidated Budget Plan to the President, Senate, the Faculty and Staff Association, the Student Union Society, and to the university community for discussion and feedback. The Budget is presented to the Board of Governors for approval in early April.

Actual spending is monitored throughout the year, with both budget variances and quarterly forecasts reported to the Board through the Finance and Audit Committee.

University Budget Model The university uses a shared-revenue based budget model with the goal of better supporting the university’s strategic directions and goals while maintaining accountability, transparency, and sustainability. This model is an adaptation of Responsibility Centre Management (RCM) budget model. In this model, tuition revenues for academic portfolios are aligned with faculty enrolment plans and budgets for support units receive a proportion of revenues that are tied to the overall growth of the university. Further details on the model can be found on the Budget Office website.10

2018-19 CONSOLIDATED BUDGET SUMMARY

The university is mandated to have a balanced consolidated annual budget. The consolidated budget for 2018-19 reflects a 5.5% increase that is similar to the 5.2% increase seen in 2017-18 consolidated budget. The consolidated budget has increased by $7.1M to $134.4M. Table 2 provides the 2018-19 consolidated budget summary by fund, reflecting the allocation of funding to the capital fund and to the base operating fund. See Schedule 1 for a detailed consolidated budget summary.

Consolidated Revenues

Revenues from both government grants and student fees continue to drive most of the revenue increases. As reflected in Figure 1, government grants have increased by $2M to $59.5M for 2018-19, this is a 3.5% increase over 2017-18. The majority of the increase is due to funding for the salary scale increases in the collective agreement under the province’s Economic Stability Mandate. Other government grant increases reflect funding for the provincial policy change to make Adult Basic Education and English as a Second Language programming tuition free. With the increase in government grant funding, as a percentage, government grant funding remains at 44% of total budgeted revenues.

Total tuition and student fees have increase to 41% of total revenue from 40% in 2017-18. Tuition and student fees revenue has increased by $4.1M to $55.2M. Of that increase, $3.5M came from the Non-Base fund that includes extension studies and international fees. All other revenues combined had a minimal change.

BUDGET BY FUND PERSPECTIVE

The university uses fund accounting to segregate major activities and funding sources. It provides enhanced accountability, control and stewardship of the university’s funds. Activities that occur outside of the university’s base operations generate revenues to cover their cost and support the base operations of the university. As shown in Figure 3, the base operating fund and the capital fund are reliant on net revenues generated by the university’s non-base, ancillary and special project activities. The aggregate of these activities allow the university to operate in an “all funds, no deficit” position.

International tuition and fees are collected as part of the non-base fund and a significant contribution is made to cover the costs of program delivery for international students recognized in the operating fund.

Figure 3: UFV Consolidated Operations, net year-over-year comparison prior to inter-fund transfers ($ millions)

Note: The contribution from the Ancillary Fund to the Operating Fund includes an increase of $292 resulting from restructuring relating to creation of the Office of VP External.

2018-2019 Consolidated Budget Plan Page 27 of 195 AGENDA ITEM # 3.1.1.

OPERATING FUND

The operating fund includes all activity related to the delivery of academic, vocational and developmental programming offered by the university. This includes costs related to student support, facility operations, general administration and governance of the university. Base operations are primarily funded from government grant funding, domestic student tuition and fees, and contributions from non-base and ancillary activities. Government grant funding has been stable for the past few years and has increased to cover the negotiated salary costs in our base operating fund, however, grant funding is not adjusted for other inflationary costs. The number of student FTEs the university is funded for has not seen any significant change over the past 7 years and currently has a target of 6,676 domestic student FTE. The government grant now includes funding to cover the foregone tuition from adult basic education and English as a second language programming, and for foregone tuition from former youth in care under the provincial Tuition Waiver program.

Figure 4: Enrolment Trend 2013-14 to 2018-19

Increases in domestic student tuition and fees is limited under the provincial Tuition Limit policy and by the demographics of our local student population. The budget reflects a 2% increase to domestic tuition and student fees with the exception for graduate programs fees that will remain unchanged for 2018-19. Domestic enrolment has been on a gradual decline since its apex in 2011-12, which has been consistent with the decline in the population of those aged 15-24.

While domestic enrolments have declined, international enrolments have seen significant increases, exceeding the SEM plan goals and budget targets. Managing the growth in international enrolments continues to be a challenge for faculties with large numbers of international students. University administrators and department heads are making efforts to better align international student recruitment and registration in Faculty enrolment plans for international enrolments.

Budgets by Category

Figure 5 below shows broad expenditure categories and budgeted resource allocation trends within the operating fund. There are some small shifts in funding reflecting the need to adapt to changing environments and investments that support the achievement of institutional plans.

Figure 5: Base Fund Budget by Category ($ millions) and as a % of Total Base Budget

Faculties

While the relative percentage of dollars has marginally decreased in Faculty budgets, this category has the largest growth in terms of budget dollars. Growth reflects additional programming and support required to meet increasing student enrolments. Along with the reallocation of some vacant positions to areas of highest need, there are net 4.76 FTE new teaching faculty positions added (Appendix B). Two of these faculty positions support the launch of the Computer Science program, a new program that fits university priorities, has significant international student demand, and corresponds with Ministry expectations to expand technology related programming.

Recognizing the importance of agriculture to the Fraser Valley and the university’s commitment to be leaders in economic and environmentally responsible development of the valley, this budget provides an allocation for the continued development of agricultural programming and the Agricultural Centre of Excellence.

Building on the excellence of our Teacher Education program, an additional cohort in Elementary Teacher Education is added to respond to market and regional demand for UFV trained teachers.

In keeping with our goal to expand experiential learning opportunities, additional support for practicum and work- integrated learning coordination has been added for Arts programs.

13 | P a g e DRAFT

2018-2019 Consolidated Budget Plan Page 29 of 195 AGENDA ITEM # 3.1.1.

An Associate Dean position has been added to support programs in the Faculty of Professional Studies, a Faculty that continues to see steady growth. Responsibilities of this position will include liaising with the numerous international partners connected to this Faculty, promoting indigenous awareness, and support training and development of faculty. Funding for indigenous student transition coordination to support recruitment, retention and success of indigenous students will further contribute to UFV’s indigenization goals.

Academic Support

Both the Education Plan 2020 and the Strategic Enrolment Plan identify and emphasize collaborative, flexible, and experiential learning across programs and university boundaries as key to student success. This budget builds on these priorities with a new position in educational technology services to support the integration of technology in learning. Recognizing the university’s commitment to Indigenization, the Teaching & Learning portfolio includes a new position to support the development of indigenous content and ways of learning for new and existing programming.

Student Support

Investment in the student support area builds on investments that were made from the Experiential Learning & Wellness student fee. This year’s budget includes a Coordinator for Student Wellness, Training and Development. Responsibilities will include coordinating the Sexualized Violence Prevention program, a program committed to improving student mental health, safety and well-being through a safe, supportive and respectful environment in which to live, work and learn. Additional support is also added to financial aid advising to address increasing demands.

Facilities & Security

Changes in this category include the amalgamation of Emergency Services and Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) to create an office of Risk Services and Safety that will give leadership to Enterprise Risk Management, Campus Security, Emergency Management, and OH&S. Responsibility for Campus Planning has moved to this portfolio along with the addition of a position to support this activity. Inflationary costs on utilities, maintenance and security contracts are managed in this portfolio.

Central University

Central University costs include budgets for negotiated benefits such as professional development, sabbatical and educational leaves, maternity and short-term disability leaves, and health allowances. Institutional memberships along with transfers from the operating fund to capital and the university contingency are also included in this category.

General Administration

General university administration costs as a percentage of spending are consistent with prior year. Meeting increasing accountability and administrative complexities in the post-secondary sector is managed through a re- alignment of work and responsibilities and reallocation of vacancies to align with changing administrative needs. New investments this year include additional funding for marketing and the addition of an organizational development position as recommended by the recently completed Human Resources review. This position will build capacity in workforce and succession planning, performance management, change management and proactive employee attraction and retention.

Information Technology

The University continues to invest in information technology (IT), which is fundamental to flexible learning across boundaries, new learning technologies and emerging modes of teaching. Building on the recommendations of the 14 | P a g e DRAFT

2018-2019 Consolidated Budget Plan Page 30 of 195 AGENDA ITEM # 3.1.1.

IT review completed a few years ago, investment in this budget focuses on building effective technology architecture and standards to address security concerns, system design and complexities, and growing demand to improve the user experience. This investment is accomplished through the realignment of vacant positions to changing needs and the addition of two new positions. A Business Transformation Office, focused on the identification, assessment and coordination of business improvement activities, will be established to support institutional projects that involve a technology component.

President and Governance

Funding to support the university’s governance bodies has been added. This investment will provide funding for education and training, and support for the development of effective university policies.

15 | P a g e DRAFT

2018-2019 Consolidated Budget Plan Page 31 of 195 AGENDA ITEM # 3.1.1.

NON-BASE

Main revenue sources in this fund are Industry Services and Continuing Education training revenues, and international student tuition and fees. Activities in this area are expected to cover direct costs and make a contribution to the consolidated budget plan.

Continuing Education and Industry Services training revenues are budgeted to increase by 28% over prior year to $4.1M with expenditures increasing to $3.5M. Funding for a new Administrator and an office staff position have been added to support the increasing number of programs and contracts. With a provincial and national emphasis on job skills and growing industry expectations for professional development and life-long learning, this activity has been expanding and is expected to continue to grow.

International student tuition and fees is the largest area of activity in this fund. The budget reflects a 3.2% rate increase as well as 12% enrolment growth for total revenues of $19.6M. International students study together with domestic students in courses and programs. As the International Office does not operate courses or academic programs specifically for international students, the International fund contribution to the operating fund includes funding for the delivery of academic programs and student services for international students. The contribution to the operating budget increased by 16% to $12.6M; the contribution to capital increased to $1.7M.

The International Office budgets includes the addition of a position in marketing and applicant relations to support and diversify recruitment into new markets.

Schedule 2 provides further details on non-base activity.

ANCILLARY FUND

Ancillary Services includes bookstore, conference & event services, food services, parking, print services, campus card, and student residence operations. Revenues of $7.3M account for 5% of the total university revenues. After direct expenditures of $4.9M and a contribution to capital of $1.16M for debt repayment on Baker House, parking lots, and university print management infrastructure, Ancillary Services will contribute approximately $1.2M to the university operating budget.

Significant changes in this fund include $380K in annual savings related to refinancing of the Student Residence. These savings have been allocated to support deferred maintenance on the residence and a more aggressive debt reduction schedule.

In 2017-18, the Executive Director, Campus Planning and Resource Development office (funded by Ancillary operations) was discontinued and funding was reallocated to re-establish the VP External office in the base fund. The VP External office will continue to have responsibility for Ancillary operations. This change resulted in an increased contribution of $292K from the Ancillary fund to the Operating fund.

Schedule 3 provides details on the various activities within Ancillary Services.

16 | P a g e DRAFT

2018-2019 Consolidated Budget Plan Page 32 of 195 AGENDA ITEM # 3.1.1.

RESTRICTED FUNDS

The activity in this fund consists of research and other special purpose projects, and donation revenues. These are funds with restrictions imposed internally and from outside the organization, usually by the contributor of the resources. This includes funding for projects approved and funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), and projects funded by community and industry partners. As this fund has activity related to research and special projects that are often one-time in nature, activity in this fund can vary substantially from year to year. A revenue increase of $755K is estimated from various events, fund raising initiatives, and one time projects.

Donation revenues and endowment investment earnings are restricted and included in the restricted fund category. Restricted revenue is not recognized until spent and/or awarded to students causing a timing issue between the receipt of donations and restricted investment earnings and the flow of these revenues through the budget and financial statements. Endowment contributions are restricted in perpetuity and because these contributions do not directly fund expenditures, they do not flow through the annual consolidated budget.

CAPITAL FUND

The consolidated budget includes the impact of revenues and expenditures related to the acquisition or construction of capital assets such as land, buildings, major equipment, technology infrastructure, and significant software application systems. For assets funded by external sources, deferred revenue is recorded to offset the amortization expense each year with zero net impact to the financial position. For assets funded by the university, no revenue is available to offset the annual amortization expense and transfers from other funds are necessary to cover the resulting deficit (Schedule 1). Capital transfers from ancillary operations fund specific assets such as parking lots, capital leases, and student residence debt repayment.

On an annual basis, the university receives Major Maintenance & Rehabilitation (MMR) funding from the Ministry for routine building maintenance, major capital projects and renovations. The university is expected to contribute a minimum of 10% to major capital projects and renovations. The estimated impact of these expenditures on our Statement of Operations have been captured in the consolidated budget.

APPENDIX A 2018-19 BUDGET PRINCIPLES

2018/19 Budget Planning Principles

The Consolidated Budget Plan is the mechanism for allocating resources to achieve the university’s Education Plan and related supporting plans. It ensures financial resources are aligned with the institution’s priorities and areas of focus.

Financial Planning Environment:

 UFV cannot approve a deficit consolidated budget.

 Taxation, legislative, contractual and regulatory requirements must be adhered to.

 UFV activities will aim to align with government expectations, priorities and accountabilities including full- time equivalent (FTE) targets, Mandate Letters15, Ministry of Advanced Education 2017/18 – 2019/20 Service Plan16, and the University Act17.

 Domestic student tuition and mandatory fees will be limited by the Ministry’s Tuition Limit Policy18.

 Programs with differential fees will be reviewed periodically for necessity of the tuition difference.

 Consistent with fiscal 2017/18, government funding is assumed to be adjusted for negotiated settlements for fiscal 2018/19. Grant funding is not expected to be increased for FTE growth or general inflationary costs.

 The Post-Secondary Administrative Service Delivery Transformation (ASDT)19 program has been working collaboratively with sector partners to share ideas, best practices, expertise and resources. Administrative service efficiencies and shared services between institutions through ASDT will be considered where consistent with UFV goals and where savings can be realized.

 Skills Gap plan aligns funding and programs with labour market demand, as outlined in B.C.’s Skills for Jobs Blueprint20 and reinforced in the #BCTECH Strategy21, and with a system that is both data and outcome driven. The sector targets 25% of AEST block grant funding to programs related to high demand occupations.

 The Industry Training Authority (ITA) plans to move to a multi-year training plan process for fiscal 2018/19 with plans to commence in September 2017. ITA funded programs will be offered consistent with the approved ITA training plan and funding in accordance with agreement.

2018-2019 Consolidated Budget Plan Page 54 of 195 AGENDA ITEM # 3.1.1.

 UFV currently has a number of programs at the Degree Quality Assessment Board/Ministry waiting for approval. The status of approvals may impact program offerings.

 The tuition compensation grant for ABE and ESL programming was removed in fiscal 2015/16 with no corresponding adjustment to developmental FTE targets. Tuition fees were reinstated for ABE and ESL in 2015/16. The impact of this change may not have stabilized.

 Government funding for capital and maintenance projects include cost sharing; the university will be required to contribute a portion of the costs of approved major renovations, upgrading and capital projects. The 2016/17 5-Year Capital Plan22 and the Campus Master Plans will provide direction for projects.

 AEST will continue to advance the development of free digital open textbooks and open education resources in an effort to reduce costs for students.

 UFV is sensitive to the impact of globalization on our international education strategy and the Canadian dollar exchange rate.

 The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) released their final report in December 2015. UFV’s role in effecting reconciliation will be considered in the annual budget planning process.

Budget Principles

The following principles are used to guide budget decisions.

1. We will be transparent and accountable in our decision making. Budget decisions will be supported by data and will be guided by a consultative process.

2. We will align resources with our strategic goals. Budget allocations will be aligned with university goals as identified in the Strategic Plan and the Education Plan and related supporting plans. Select investments will be directed to support highest priority goals.

3. We will develop the budget using the shared‐revenue budget model. Faculty budgets will be aligned with enrolment plans and support services will be tied to the overall revenues. Budgetary impacts will be reviewed for overall effect on the university. Funds will be identified to allocate in support of strategic initiatives.

4. We will encourage revenue generating activities. Entrepreneurial activities will be encouraged where a net gain is projected within an acceptable risk‐tolerance level. Innovation Fund has been established to grow

5. We will support the long-term financial sustainability of the university. UFV must ensure that the rate of future cost growth is in line with the rate of revenue growth. Opportunities that increase efficiency while maintaining quality will be given priority.

6. We will support the ecology of the academic program complement, mindful of the need to respond to strategic directions and student needs.

7. We will take a strategic perspective when considering position eliminations. Position changes will be mindful and respectful of the impact on individuals, departments and the institution. Vacancies will not be filled automatically allowing for limited resources to be allocated according to institutional priorities.

8. We will promote academic and service quality in our planning. Programs and support services will reflect our commitment to excellence and student success for all students.

9. We will develop the budget in a manner that will minimize risk to the university. An annual contingency will be maintained as a provision for enrolment declines, emergency response and unforeseen expenditures. The budget will not postpone dealing with projected deficits; the budget will be balanced without deferring liabilities to future year budgets.

APPENDIX F 2018-19 CARRY FORWARD ALLOCATIONS

The following criteria will guide the year end carry forward allocation decisions:

1. The financial sustainability of the university is paramount.

a. Carry forward allocations to discretionary accounts will be determined by final revenue and expense budget results. Institutional priorities need to be weighed with divisional priorities.

b. If spending patterns indicate a potential threat to the overall position of the university, discretionary accounts may be frozen.

2. Divisions will keep vacancy savings realized in the current fiscal year.

3. Units will be required to submit a plan for one-time expenditures for the coming year. This will provide accountability and is required for tracking the university’s annual financial position.

Determining annual carry forward balances:

 Academic divisions will carry forward 50% of base expense accounts net of enrolment target revenue variances.

 Administration divisions will carry forward 50% of base expense accounts.

Carry forward account balances are capped at a maximum of 3% of total budget for Faculty portfolios and 5% of total budget for other Senior Administrator portfolios, with a minimum cap of $100K. Carry forward amounts that exceed the allowable cap will fall into the university central reserve for allocation to university priorities. Senior administrators may apply to the university central carry forward reserve for additional funding.

Rationale for a cap on divisional carry forward accounts:

 Gives administrators discretionary funds for projects and operational one-time expenditures within their divisions.

 Encourages and provides funding for cross-disciplinary and cross-functional university projects and priorities.

APPENDIX H BENCHMARK INFORMATION

The comparative Financial Information of Universities and Colleges (FIUC) in this appendix is based on an annual publication that is jointly prepared by the Canadian Association of University Business Offices (CAUBO) and Statistics Canada. It is the only national source for comparable financial information and is based on an annual return completed and submitted by each member institution. has eleven member institutions.23 Members self-report financial information according to guidelines provided to assist in the preparation of the information.

The functional categories in the FIUC report are not perfectly matched to the way the university manages budgets, accounts and expenses so UFV information is reclassified to fit the national report. Additionally, the FIUC data is based on actual expenditures, whereas the comparative information in Table 3 is based on annual operating fund budgets.

The comparative information in Table 3 in the 2018-19 Budget Recommendation is useful to see budget allocation trends for UFV. The benchmark information included in the table below is useful to see how UFV expenditure allocations compare to other universities in B.C. and Canada at a particular point in time.

Every two years, at the May meeting, Senate will elect a vice-chair from among its elected faculty members. In the event that the chair is unable to chair a meeting, the vice-chair will serve as chair.

V. Attendance and responsibilities: A. Regular attendance is expected of all members of the Senate.

Senate Bylaws Page 3 of 12

Proposed revisions to the Senate Bylaws Page 69 of 195 AGENDA ITEM # 4.1.1.

B. An elected or appointed voting member who misses two consecutive regular meetings per year without permission from the chair from the chair shall receive written notice from the chair. An elected or appointed voting member who misses three consecutive regular meetings per year without prior arrangement with the chair and who has received written notice will be deemed to have resigned from the Senate. In the case where a faculty/staff/student sSenator expects to have an extended absence and will miss three or more meetings (e.g. short-term or long-term disability; sabbatical; teaching/class conflict), that member may ask for an excused absence with the intent to return to the senator role when the reason for absence is done. C. Senate members are obligated to prepare adequately for meetings and to participate actively in the decision making at Senate meetings. D. All elected members of the Senate are expected to serve on a minimum of two standing committees of the Senate. E. Members of Senate, in their function as members of this body, do not act as delegates of the constituencies from which they were drawn; rather, as members, all must serve the interest of the University to the best of their ability. F. No member of Senate or Senate standing committee may appoint another person to attend and vote in their place at a Senate or Senate standing committee meeting. E.G. When an ex officio member of Ssenate or Senate standing committee expects to have an absence of 2 months or longer (e.g. short-term or long-term disability; sabbatical or administrative leave), the person appointed as interim to the ex officio position, is permitted to attend and vote at Senate or Senate standing committee meetings until the incumbent returns to work. F.H. All Senate members will comply with the conflict of interest guidelines and fulfil their roles and responsibilities to the highest standard of conduct, as set out in Appendix C: Conflict of Interest and Code of Conduct.

VI. Meeting schedule: A. The Senate will meet on a regular schedule normally once a month from September to June. The university will make every reasonable effort to ensure that members of the Senate are freed from their normal duties to attend Senate meetings. B. Extraordinary meetings may be called in the months of July and August with seven days' notice by the chair, upon unanimous determination by a committee comprised of the chair, the vice chair, and provost that an extraordinary meeting is required to deal with an emergency or extremely time sensitive matter(s). C. Meetings may be cancelled by the chair upon unanimous determination by a committee comprised of the chair, the vice chair, and provost. D. As a rule, agenda items will be submitted to the secretary at least seven days prior to the meeting.

VII. Procedure for meetings: A. Senate meetings will be conducted according to Robert's Rules of Order, except as otherwise stated in these bylaws.

Senate Bylaws Page 4 of 12

Proposed revisions to the Senate Bylaws Page 70 of 195 AGENDA ITEM # 4.1.1.

B. Members will receive the agenda, the materials for discussion, and reports in advance of the meeting. Any member of the Senate or constituency of the University may bring an agenda item in writing to the Chair for consideration. Items not received in advance will be placed on the agenda only by a majority vote of all voting members present and voting. C. All Senate in camera agendas, including all attachments, minutes, and subsequent discussions will remain confidential unless Senate resolves otherwise. D. For ordinary meetings, a quorum is defined as fifty percent (50%) of the voting members of the Senate present at the time of the adoption of the agenda. Normally the chair of any given meeting does not vote and is not counted towards quorum except in the case where the chair’s participation is required to meet quorum. Leaves of absence will reduce quorum requirements accordingly. Once quorum is declared it continues. However, the meeting agenda cannot be amended after the start of the meeting unless fifty percent (50%) of the voting members are still present. In the absence of quorum, a fixed date and time to which to adjourn the meeting shall be determined by the chair. Any business conducted at a meeting where there is no quorum present will be considered as unofficial and subject to ratification at the next meeting held where a quorum is present. For extraordinary meetings, quorum requirements will be nine at all times, with a minimum of five elected members. E. Meetings are open to members of the university community, though only members of the Senate will be entitled to vote. The Senate will, when appropriate, invite guests and resource persons to meetings. The chairs of the standing committees of Senate may speak on items presented at Senate from standing committees. Non- voting members of Senate may introduce motions but will not be entitled to vote. F. Voting will normally take place with a show of hands. However, upon request of a member of the Senate, a vote will be taken by secret ballot. G. a. On votes on formal motions, all voting Senate members are required to vote either in favour or opposed, or abstain from voting. All formal motions shall be adopted by a majority vote of all voting members present, unless required otherwise. In tallying the votes, abstentions do not count towards the in favour votes. If a vote fails as a result of abstentions, then the discussion will reopen and the vote will be called again on the majority of those present and voting (this time excluding abstentions). b. Members should abstain when they have a direct personal interest in the matter that amounts to a real or perceived conflict of interest.

H. As a rule, all proceedings of the Senate will be open; however, the chair shall have the right to declare a meeting or portion of a meeting “in camera” and close the meeting to the public. I. In the event that either the chair or vice-chair of Senate is absent, the Provost shall act as vice-chair of that meeting. In the event of the absence of both the chair and vice-chair of Senate or in the absence of either the chair or vice-chair and the Provost, the vice-chair of the Senate Governance Committee shall act as the vice-chair of that meeting.

Proposed revisions to the Senate Bylaws Page 71 of 195 AGENDA ITEM # 4.1.1.

J. Meetings of Senate and its standing committees may be subject to audio recording but only if in compliance with the following provisions: 1. Anyone creating an audio recording of a meeting must identify his or her intentions to do so at the start of the meeting to the chair of the meeting. 2. In-camera portions of the meeting may not be recorded. 3. The meeting may resolve by a majority vote to prohibit recording of an agenda item. 4. Only approved minutes of such meeting shall constitute the official record of such proceedings. K. Meetings of Senate and its standing committees may not be video recorded unless specifically approved by a majority resolution at the meeting. L. The minutes shall be the official record of Senate. Minutes of public and in-camera meetings shall be a record of decisions made and actions authorized by Senate. Minutes shall generally exclude discussion summaries and verbatim minutes should be avoided. M. The name of the movers and seconders shall be recorded in the minutes. The names of those voting for or against any motions shall not be recorded in the minutes. Members who vote against or abstain from any motion may request to have their names recorded in the minutes.

N. In-camera meetings assume that all members are bound by a duty of confidentiality and all information presented or discussed will be treated with confidentiality and care, except when information is clearly within the public domain.

VIII. Consultation with constituents: A. Members of the Senate will make regular reports to constituents on Senate matters. B. The registrar will publish the minutes of Senate meetings in a public place.

IX. Standing committees: A. Standing committees will operate under terms of reference and in adherence to policies and procedures set by Senate. Other standing committees will be formed as necessary. B. The Senate will strike ad hoc committees as necessary. All such committees will include at least one Senate member. C. The Senate Governance Committee will recommend to Senate rules for the conduct of business for the other committees of Senate.

Proposed revisions to the Senate Bylaws Page 74 of 195 AGENDA ITEM # 4.1.1.

2.4. Vacancies The Secretary of Senate must enter a declaration of the vacancy in the minutes of Senate as appropriate. This is conclusive evidence of the vacancy. (Attendance requirements for the Senate are specified in the Senate Bylaws.) The registrar will conduct by-elections in a timely manner. If three or fewer months are remaining in the term of office, the position will remain vacant until the regular annual elections take place. A person elected to fill a vacancy holds office for the remainder of the term for which the person's predecessor was elected.

3. ELECTION PROCEDURES The elections will be conducted by the registrar.

3.1. Nominations 1. A notice of the regular annual election and call for nominations shall be made at a Senate meeting in January. When a vacancy is identified the notice of the by-election and call for nominations shall be made at the same Senate meeting if appropriate. Nominations will be open for three weeks. If no candidates are nominated during the nomination period, the call will remain indefinitely extended until a nomination is filed. 2. Candidates must be nominated to a position by five persons entitled to vote in the election. These nominators must be members of the group associated with the position. Candidates may not accept a nomination for more than one position. Candidates must be members of the group which elects them. They must sign the nomination indicating a willingness to stand for the position and agreement to serve the term. 3. The registrar will request that each candidate provide the following information: a. the candidate's degrees and the dates of them; b. the candidate's occupation; c. offices held by the candidate at a university or in any other organization; d. the candidate's other professional or business interests; and e. the candidate's publications. Each candidate may also provide a statement of up to 150 words on the candidate's views on matters rightfully falling under the jurisdiction of the Senate. This information and the statement will be printed with the list of candidates and voting instructions. These will be posted no later than the week following nominations. If only as many candidates are nominated for Senate as are required to be elected, the candidates are declared to have been elected.

Senate Bylaws Page 9 of 12

Proposed revisions to the Senate Bylaws Page 75 of 195 AGENDA ITEM # 4.1.1.

3.2. Election Registers or Voters’ Lists 1. Faculty and Staff The registrar will, upon a call for nominations, prepare an election register or voters’ list, which is an alphabetical list of the names and UFV addresses of the faculty and staff who are entitled to vote at an election. The election register will be open for inspection at all reasonable hours by all members entitled to vote. 2. Students The registrar will also keep an alphabetical list of the names of all students, including those who are members of the Student Union Society. This list will be brought up to date at the call for nominations and just before voting begins. 3. Voters for a representative of an area must be members of that area. 4. Only those persons whose names appear in the election registers are entitled to vote at an election.

3.3. Voting 1. The voting will be held at least four weeks after the close of nominations. 2. Candidates may conduct an election campaign until the voting begins. The candidates are responsible for removing all posters and campaign material within sight of any designated polling station prior to the start of voting. 3. Balloting will take place over at least a three day, but preferably a four day, period. The registrar will determine an appropriate method for voting that maintains the confidentiality of the process but allows a maximum amount of voter participation.

3.4. Results 1. The registrar must report the results of the election to Senate at the first meeting following the election. 2. The candidate with the highest number of votes will be declared the winner. 3. If there is a tie vote between two or more candidates for an office, the Senate must cast the deciding vote.

4. APPEALS 1. Any appeal of the contents or classifications in the voters’ lists should be made to the registrar at least two weeks before voting begins. 2. Any appeal of the conduct of the election shall first be made to the registrar. If the matter is not resolved, then it may be referred to the Senate Elections Appeal Committee. 3. The Senate Elections Appeal Committee shall consist of four members of the Senate who shall consider any appeals of the conduct of elections. The decision of this committee will be final.

5. CHANGES TO THE PROCEDURES

Proposed revisions to the Senate Bylaws Page 77 of 195 AGENDA ITEM # 4.1.1.

Appendix C: Conflict of Interest and Code of Conduct

A. Conflict of Interest Conflict of interest may include but is not limited to the following situations: • the member stands to benefit or be harmed financially • the member has family or close friends who stand to benefit or be harmed • the career or reputation of the member could be advanced or retarded A member is not in conflict of interest merely by virtue of prior knowledge of the issue or the person about whom a decision is being made or because of common professional or social relations with a person affected by the decision. In general, voting on matters which affect a broad group by a member of that group is not considered a conflict of interest. For example, student members may vote on issues such as grade appeals policies and faculty members may vote on issues such as programs offered by their particular divisions.

B. Code of Conduct

The effective governance of the University is contingent on Senate members fulfilling their roles and responsibilities to the highest standards of conduct and commitment to the following:

1. A Duty of Integrity – to act honestly and in good faith. 2. A Duty of Loyalty – to give his or her loyalty to the university when acting on behalf of the Senate. 3. A Duty of Care – to act in a prudent and diligent manner, keeping himself or herself informed as to the policies, business, and affairs of the university. 4. A Duty of Confidentiality – notwithstanding the need of members to make an informed decision on an issue before the Senate by obtaining input from internal and external communities, members are to ensure that information which is normally considered confidential remains so. 5. A Duty of Skill – to use one’s level of knowledge and one’s expertise effectively in dealing with the affairs of the university.

UEC Chair: Eric Spalding UEC MEMORANDUM Phone: 4680

UEC Assistant: Amanda Grimson Phone: 4571

TO: Jackie Hogan, UFV Senate Chair

FROM: Eric Spalding, Undergraduate Education Committee Chair

DATE: February 26, 2017

RE: Aviation

At its February 23, 2017 meeting, UEC voted to recommend to Senate changes to the entrance and program requirements for the Aviation diploma (two-year program) and the Bachelor of Business Administration (Aviation).

Please see the attached documents for additional details.

MOTION: THAT Senate approve the changes to the Aviation diploma (two-year program) entrance and program requirements, effective September 2018.

RATIONALE: UFV has entered into diploma/degree completion agreements with Aviation flight training partners that better reflect the relationship to one combining academics with industry requirements. The proposed changes allow students to complete their flight training with any certified flying school and once they obtain their Transport Canada certification, they will be eligible for PLAR credit towards the UFV diploma.

Entrance requirements are being updated, and an option is being added for applicants who have completed at least nine post-secondary credits at a recognized post-secondary institution. All aviation- related entrance requirements are being deleted, as they pertain to Aviation courses which will no longer be offered by UFV. Other relevant regulations are also being updated to reflect this change.

Program requirements are being changed for closer alignment between this diploma and the Business Administration diploma, following current practice at other institutions. This will also allow a better transition from the Aviation diploma program to the BBA (Aviation) degree program. These changes result in a reduction in the total number of credits, from 67-69 to 61.

MOTION: THAT Senate approve changing the name of the Aviation diploma (two-year program) to the Business Administration (Aviation) diploma, effective September 2018.

Aviation - diploma and Bachelor of Business Administration Page 79 of 195 AGENDA ITEM # 4.2.1.

RATIONALE: The program title has been revised to reflect the close link between the Business Administration and the Business Administration (Aviation) diplomas.

Note: Students registered in the Aviation diploma (two-year program) will be able to complete the credential on either the existing or new diploma structure.

MOTION: THAT Senate approve the changes to the Bachelor of Business Administration (Aviation) entrance and program requirements as presented, effective September 2018.

RATIONALE: As above, UFV has entered into new agreements with Aviation flight training partners, requiring changes to the BBA (Aviation) degree. Entrance requirements are being updated in the same way as the diploma.

Program requirements are being changed to remove all Aviation courses and for closer alignment between this degree and the Bachelor of Business Administration degree. This will also allow a better transition to the BBA (Aviation) degree program from the Aviation diploma program. These changes result in a reduction in the total number of credits, from 135-137 to 120.

Note: Students registered in the BBA (Aviation) prior to September 2018 will have the option of graduating with either the existing or new degree structure.

Aviation - diploma and Bachelor of Business Administration Page 80 of 195 AGENDA ITEM # 4.2.1.

UEC Chair: Eric Spalding UEC MEMORANDUM Phone: 4680

UEC Assistant: Amanda Grimson Phone: 4571

TO: Jackie Hogan, UFV Senate Chair

FROM: Eric Spalding, Undergraduate Education Committee Chair

DATE: February 26, 2018

RE: Bachelor of Agricultural Science, Horticulture major

At its October 27, 2017 meeting, UEC voted to recommend changes to the Bachelor of Agricultural Science, Horticulture major entrance and program requirements, including the addition of a Co-operative Education option. UEC recommends that these be approved by Senate.

MOTION: THAT Senate approve the changes to the Bachelor of Agricultural Science, Horticulture major entrance and program requirements as recommended by UEC, effective September 2018.

RATIONALE: The Bachelor of Agricultural Sciences in its present form is not eligible for financial aid. In order for the program to qualify for financial aid, 7 credits have been added to the degree. Other program changes are detailed in the attached documents.

A Co-operative Education option has been added to the program as it is recognized that job related experience is very important to the success of graduates from this program. Allowing students the opportunity to complete cooperative education semesters alongside the courses requirements will increase employability thru expansion of discipline knowledge, technical and research skills and experience in the job sector. There is presently cooperative education job demand for students with agriculture knowledge so the addition of cooperative education to the program will aid in meeting this demand.

Entrance requirements have also been changed to include a university entrance option which was missing from the program and to align the direct entry and transition option from agriculture certificates or diploma option. In the existing admissions requirement, direct entry students had to meet a grade 12 math, and chemistry and biology prerequisite requirements whereas for the transition option from the Agriculture diploma students had only to meet admissions to the certificate programs with a note about prerequisites for biology and chemistry courses. Admission requirements are now more clearly stated for all admission options and align with meeting the prerequisites to course requirements in the degree. Students no longer have to meet a math 12 level for the high school admissions option which was not necessary for success in the degree requirements. This is likely to increase the applicant pool to the degree.

Please see the attached documents for additional details.

SBC MEMORANDUM SBC Chair: Betty Poettcker Phone: 4676

SBC Assistant: Alexandria Waycott Phone: 4029

TO: Jackie Hogan, Senate Chair

FROM: Betty Poettcker, Senate Budget Committee Chair

DATE: February 27, 2018

RE: Changes to Bachelor of Agriculture Science

At its February 22 meeting, the Senate Budget Committee reviewed proposed changes to the Bachelor of Agriculture Science. G. Schlitt, Dean of the Faculty of Science addressed questions from the committee. The following comments were noted:

• The BAS is an existing program within the Faculty of Science. The addition of a Co-op Option, two-track laddering scenario, and simplification of some requirements provides students more options in completing the program. • 5 Credits have been added to the degree, bringing the total number of credits required to complete the BAS program to 125 credits. The addition of 5 credits means that students from this program will be eligible for financial aid and may support more students entering the program. • There was some concern surrounding the fact that the addition of 5 credits is motivated primarily by students receiving Financial Aid, and not a direct academic motivation. Upon recommendation, SBC established a working group comprised of I. McAskill, K. Brealey, and A. Wiseman to strategize ways to bring forward these concerns to the Ministry in order to adequately demonstrate how Financial Aid guidelines negatively affect access for many groups of students. The working group will bring forward their recommendation to SBC.

The following motion was made: The Senate Budget Committee reviewed the proposed changes to the Bachelor of Agriculture Science and confirms the cost of implementation is adequately reflected in the analysis. The committee also recommends that if and when Financial Aid guidelines allow, the program revert back to 120 credits.

Memo for Program Changes

To: Dr. Greg Schlitt, Acting Dean of Science Dr. Allan Arndt, Chair, Faculty of Science Curriculum Committee Caroline Majeau, Committee Assistant From: Bachelor of Agriculture Science degree Program Working Group Date: August 25, 2017 Subject: Program change (Bachelor of Agriculture Science degree, Horticulture major) 1. Summary of changes (select all the apply): ☐ Program revision that requires new resources ☒ Addition of new course options or deletion or substitution of a required course ☐ Change to the majority of courses in an approved program ☐ Change to the duration, philosophy, or direction of a program ☐ Addition of a new field of specialization, such as a concentration ☒ Change in requirements for admission ☐ Change in requirements for residency or continuance ☐ Change in admission quotas ☐ Change which triggers an external review ☐ Deletion of a program not included in the Program Discontinuance policy ☒ Other – Please specify: Addition of Cooperative Education option to the degree.

2. Rationale for change(s): The Bachelor of Agricultural Sciences in its present form is not eligible for financial aid. The program has to be structured in such a way that a student can take a minimum of 15 credits per semester and 30 credits per year for a total of 4 years to be eligible for financial aid. The requirement for 4 and 5 credit biology, stats and chemistry courses results in the first and second years having more credits than the 4th year. In order for the program to qualify for financial aid, 7 credits have been added to the degree. To reach the 127 credits required for the program the student is allowed to take any university course 100 level or above. Students who choose the cooperative education option will be able to use work term credits towards the elective credits and the Practicum 1 (AGRI 192) course. The cooperative education option has been added to the program as it is recognized that job related experience is very important to the success of graduates from this program. Allowing students the opportunity to complete cooperative education semesters alongside the courses requirements will increase employability thru expansion of discipline knowledge, technical and research skills and experience in the job sector. There is presently cooperative education job demand for students with agriculture knowledge so the addition of cooperative education to the program will aid in meeting this demand. The addition of agrology electives and communication requirement courses will give the student more flexibility in choosing courses to meet the program requirements.

Bachelor of Agriculture Science Page 96 of 195 AGENDA ITEM # 4.2.2.

The capstone requirement for the degree has been simplified to require AGRI 390 only with an option for AGRI 490 if the student wants to complete an advanced research topic course. Students will be approved and supervised by agriculture faculty in the development of a directed studies that is best suited to the degree outcomes. Admissions to the Agricultural degree has been changed to include a university entrance option which was missing from the program and to align the direct entry and transition option from agriculture certificates or diploma option. In the existing admissions requirement, direct entry students had to meet a grade 12 math, and chemistry and biology prerequisite requirements whereas for the transition option from the Agriculture diploma students had only to meet admissions to the certificate programs with a note about prerequisites for biology and chemistry courses. Admission requirements are now more clearly stated for all admission options and align with meeting the prerequisites to course requirements in the degree. Students no longer have to meet a math 12 level for the high school admissions option which was not necessary for success in the degree requirements. This is likely to increase the applicant pool to the degree. 3. If program outcomes are new or substantially changed, explain how they align with the Institutional Learning Outcomes: No change to program learning outcomes 4. What consideration has been given to indigenizing the curriculum? Indigenization is encouraged at the program level thru breath/elective requirements where students can choose from coursers where indigenization is appropriate to the course content and discipline. 5. Will additional resources be required? If so, how will these costs be covered? No additional resources are required 6. How will students be impacted? (Indicate the projected number of students impacted.) Is the change expected to increase/decrease enrolment in the program? Students will be required to complete an additional 7 credits for the degree. To offset this change the number of electives in the program have been increased from 3 to 12 credits. Students may use any 100 level course of higher to meet the electives including credits from the agriculture certificates that would not have counted prior to the change and cooperative education credits. 7. Does the number of required core or elective credits from the program-specific discipline change? If so, will this change the total number of courses to be offered within the discipline? No additional courses are required to meet core or elective credits with the program specific discipline. The increase in credits will be elective credits in any discipline. 8. Identify any available resources that will be used to accommodate the program changes. (Eg. seats in existing classes, conversion of sections, timetabling changes, deletion of courses, etc.). None required. 9. Is the number of required or elective courses from other disciplines in the program changing? If so, what is the estimated impact to enrolments in these courses? Provide a memo from the respective dean(s) of the impacted faculty to confirm if budgetary implications have been considered and

Bachelor of Agriculture Science Page 97 of 195 AGENDA ITEM # 4.2.2.

addressed. Elective credits will increase and can be taken from any faculty including cooperative education. 10. Provide a memo from the program’s dean to confirm that budgetary implications of the proposed changes have been considered and will be addressed within the faculty budget.

CWC comments and responses:

• The word “optional” before AGRI 490 may be confusing. Is the intention to require AGRI 390, or to allow students to take either AGRI 390 or 490? If not, suggest removing AGRI 490 from this section and including it elsewhere as a possible course of interest. Also suggest changing the “Independent Studies” section to “Capstone”.

Response #1: Independent studies vs. capstone was debated at our last meeting (August) and we believe that the essence of the course is the same regardless of whether it is called a capstone or independent study. The group was evenly divided as to the name of the course but all believe it is an opportunity to increase a specialized area of knowledge under the direction of an expert in that field. It is meant to give the student all the necessary research and investigative tools that will encapsulate the 4 years of learning throughout their degree. Speaking to several students it was a confusing and foreign thing calling it a capstone as many are not familiar with that as a term. I too am not familiar with that term and had to have it explained to me. So the committee decided that independent studies was a better name.

This issue is just semantics if the UEC screening committee wants to call it capstone then call it that. I believe that the essence of the course is the same no matter what the course is called.

Response #2: Both AGRI 390 and AGRI 490 should be available as independent studies courses. There will be implications to the Masters of Integrated Science and Technology that is in preparation right now. Optional is good as there are many more options for students and so there should be, depending on where their career is leading them to.

• Raising the required number of credits may not increase the applicant pool as desired. Were other potential alternatives explored? (For example, is there a better way to distribute the credit value of the courses?)

Response #1:

Bachelor of Agriculture Science Page 98 of 195 AGENDA ITEM # 4.2.2.

This was not intended to try to recruit more students. This was to address the issue that the degree was heavily loaded to lower level courses and was not eligible for financial aid requirements. The courses were added/realigned to give more weight at the upper level courses. There was an issue that there were too little credits available at 4th year to make the program eligible for financial aid although the average of the course over the 4 years was sufficient. We did try to rearrange credit values so that it accounted for a more balanced case for all keeping in mind that credits added will add to the cost of the degree. The plan set forth was the best case we could arrive at.

If courses are redistributed I can see the potential for many prerequisites being overlooked and misidentified. In that case the degree would have to undergo a major retooling.

Response #2: Yes, other options for credit distribution were explored. However, the agriculture diploma and certificate are overloaded with credit as they are standalone as well as integrated in this degree. We have constructed these course loads with industry and we see a perfect fit. We do not want to reopen that Pandora's box if possible. Implications on the diploma would be devastating to our agriculture programming and might make it unsustainable, a route we all agreed on not taking. The only moves we have left is to dispense with communications etc. which from an academic standpoint is untenable.

RE: Bachelor of Education

At its February 23, 2017 meeting, UEC voted to recommend to Senate changes to the Bachelor of Education entrance requirements.

Please see the attached document for additional details.

MOTION: THAT Senate approve the changes to the Bachelor of Education entrance requirements as recommended by UEC, effective September 2018.

RATIONALE: There are two departmental pre-requisites to the Bachelor of Education, EDUC 200 and EDUC 300. Prospective students currently must complete EDUC 200 by the end of the Fall semester, prior to applying to the BEd. As such, admissions procedures favour current UFV students who are in the process of completing their undergraduate degrees. Since EDUC 200 is a pre- or co-requisite to EDUC 300, allowing students to take both of these courses in the Winter semester before applying to the BEd makes it easier for individuals who already have degrees to apply as they are just requiring these two courses for admission to the program. The current notation in the calendar is confusing for students, and the department would like to allow students to take these two courses in the Winter semester, while their application to the BEd is being reviewed.

At its February 23, 2017 meeting, UEC voted to recommend to Senate changes to the Communications minor program and residency requirements.

Please see the attached document for additional details.

MOTION: THAT Senate approve the changes to the Communication minor program requirements as recommended by UEC, effective September 2018.

RATIONALE: The lower-level requirements are being revised to remove a course that is no longer offered (CMNS 165) and to broaden the selection of lower-level courses students can take in addition to the required courses. This will allow students to customize the minor in preparation for specific upper-level courses.

The upper-level requirements are being significantly changed. The Communications minor was previously attainable with 12 upper-level credits, which does not fit with UFV’s current definition of a minor (minimum 14 upper-level credits). To comply with the new definition, the Communications department is adding an additional upper-level course, as well as a required writing-intensive course (one of CMNS 325, 351, 360, or 465) and a required experiential learning course (one of CMNS 412, 430, or 490).

MOTION: THAT Senate approve the changes to the Communication minor residency requirements as recommended by UEC, effective September 2018.

RATIONALE: The residency requirement is being changed to reflect the new upper-level requirements.

RE: Criminal Justice

At its February 23, 2017 meeting, UEC voted to recommend to Senate changes to the Bachelor of Arts (Criminal Justice) and Criminal Justice diploma programs.

Please see the attached documents for additional details.

MOTION: THAT Senate approve the changes to the Bachelor of Arts (Criminal Justice) program requirements as recommended by UEC, effective September 2018.

RATIONALE: Following a recent program review, the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice is reducing the number of core CRIM requirements and opening up the range of elective options to students to enable them to complete more of their elective courses outside of CRIM. As requested by the Dean’s office, the number of credits needed for graduation are being reduced from 124 to 121-122.

Students who do not qualify for the 2nd- or 4th-year practicums are currently able to complete a two- course option instead. As the School would like to see students learning about similar areas to those covered in field placement experiences, specific courses have been identified for this option. In addition, given that a new co-requisite (CRIM 479) has been introduced for the fourth-year field placement course, three courses will now be required in place of CRIM 480 and CRIM 479.

MOTION: THAT Senate approve the changes to the Criminal Justice diploma program requirements as recommended by UEC, effective September 2018.

RATIONALE: As above, the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice is reducing the number of core CRIM requirements and opening up the range of elective options to students. As requested by the Dean’s office, the number of credits needed for graduation are being reduced from 64 to 61. Optional courses for students who do not qualify for the 2nd-year practicum are being changed as in the degree.

Criminal Justice - Bachelor of Arts and diploma Page 119 of 195 AGENDA ITEM # 4.2.6.

Bachelor of Arts (Criminal Justice) degree Practicum regulations Acceptance into the BA (Criminal Justice) degree program does not guarantee practicum placement.

The prerequisites for placement in CRIM 281 are:

• CGPA of at least 2.67;

• CRIM 100, 103, 104, 105, and 265;

• CRIM 129 with a grade of B- or better;

• CMNS 125, or ENGL 105 or higher;

• the ability to pass a criminal record check; and

• departmental approval.

The prerequisites for placement in CRIM 480 are:

• CGPA of at least 2.67;

• CRIM 281, 310, 311, 320, and 335;

• the ability to pass a criminal record check; and

• departmental approval.

Students must complete 200 hours of practicum work in each of CRIM 281 and CRIM 480.

Bachelor of Arts (Criminal Justice) students who do not meet the prerequisites for the second-year practicum must instead take two additional 200-level CRIM electives from the list below in place of CRIM 281. Students who do not meet the prerequisites for the fourth-year practicum must instead take three 300/400-level CRIM electives from the list below in place of CRIM 479 and CRIM 480.(two 200 level CRIM electives for CRIM 281, and two 400-level (400-419) CRIM electives for CRIM 480).

Students who did not qualify for CRIM 281 but subsequently qualify for CRIM 480 must complete CRIM 480.

Practicums are offered throughout the region of the Fraser Valley and Metro Vancouver, although other placement sites may be considered. Students are responsible for transportation to and from practicum sites. Students are also responsible for maintaining suitable personal appearance.

The BA (Criminal Justice) degree program must approve any agency or institution that provides placements for student practicums, and reserves the right to change any placement assigned to a student. The student has the right to be informed in writing of the reasons for any change in placement. While the program accepts the responsibility to provide a sufficient number of practicum opportunities to serve the needs of all registered students, a student may be required to withdraw from a practicum course if none of the available practicum agencies will accept that particular student.

Program Outline The Bachelor of Arts (Criminal Justice) degree program consists of 57 credits of CRIM core requirements, 28-29 credits of breadth requirements, and 36 credits of CRIM/non-CRIM elective courses.

RE: Engineering Physics diploma in Mechatronics

At its February 23, 2017 meeting, UEC voted to recommend to Senate changes to the Engineering Physics diploma in Mechatronics entrance and program requirements.

Please see the attached document for additional details.

MOTION: THAT Senate approve the changes to the Engineering Physics diploma in Mechatronics program as recommended by UEC, effective September 2018.

RATIONALE: Entrance requirements are being changed to better allow students to enter after their second year, and basis for admission decision is being change from competitive entry to better streamline the registration process for students, who are primarily international students.

Program changes have been made in consultation with a working engineer, and based on having run through effectively two complete cohorts of students.

The residency requirement is also being changed to reflect the varying background of students entering the program. Thus although a fewer number of specific courses are required for residency, the required courses are now at the upper level.

Engineering Physics diploma in Mechatronics Page 135 of 195 AGENDA ITEM # 4.2.7.

Engineering Physics diploma in Mechatronics

Entrance requirements

1. One of the following: (B- or better in PHYS 112 and B- or better in MATH 112) or (B- or better in PHYS 221) 1. PHYS 112 with a minimum grade of B 2. MATH 112 with a minimum grade of B- 3.2.Students must meet at least one of the prerequisites for ENGL 105 4.3.Students must have at least a CGPA of 2.0

Basis for admission decision

Entry is competitive. Normally Sstudents with the highest GPAs based on MATH 111, MATH 112, PHYS 111, and PHYS 112 at the end of April will have the first offers to enter the program. However if students are using PHYS 221 for entry into the program, then the GPA calculation will include their PHYS 221 grade in addition to the aforementioned four courses.

Entrance to the program is on a first come first served basis, however students must have met the pre-recs for entranceabove entrance requirements in order to be accepted into the program.

InternationalProgram. International students, who do not have the stated prerequisite courses (or their transfer equivalent), will be considered for admission if suitability is determined by the Department Head in consultation with the Office of the Registrar. All students must meet the continuance level for the program.

Qualified students that are not admitted will be recorded on a wait list. When a seat is offered to a student, that student must accept the offer in a timely fashion or that seat will be offered to the next student on the wait list.

If a student has already completed courses from the diploma prior to being accepted to the diploma, the Engineering Physics Diploma Committee (EPDC) will decide if this student should be accepted to the program (creating unfilled reserved seats in some courses) or if the student should be delegated to a wait list. Effective use of university resources can be a factor in the committee’s decision.

Program outline

It is recommended that students take the following two required courses before the start of the program:

Course Title Credits COMP 152 Introduction to Structured Programming 4 or COMP 150 Introduction to Programming 4

Engineering Physics diploma in Mechatronics Page 136 of 195 AGENDA ITEM # 4.2.7.

RATIONALE: The revised entrance requirements are consistent with other design programs with the purpose of assessing an applicant’s readiness for the expectations and demands of the program and the creative industry. The minimum GPA of 2.0 is consistent with other Arts programs. UEC has also approved revised course requirements that will provide students with greater flexibility for program completion.

MOTION: THAT Senate approve the changes to the Graphic and Digital Design minor program requirements as recommended by UEC, effective September 2018.

RATIONALE: When the program was developed in 2011, care was taken to include strong learning outcomes and content to support them, but there was a lapse in confirming a feasible completion plan. In the current form, it is impossible to obtain the necessary prerequisites for the upper-level requirements with less than 18 credits of lower-level GD courses. The current minor actually requires the equivalent of the extended minor to complete. While the revised program is longer on paper, it is achievable with respect to prerequisites and course rotation. It will also provide students in a range of programs with a skill set that is distinct from the current GDD extended minor. The revisions offer a practical foundation in communication design and interactive design practice emphasizing applied digital skills, conceptual development, production knowledge, and problem-solving abilities. The aim is to prepare students with the processes, tools, and technology typically needed for in-house design positions, entry-level studio positions, contractual work, or in their own practice. This minor emphasizes a comprehensive approach.

Summary of Changes, GDD Minor February 4, 2018

The revised GDD Minor may be applied to any degree, not just the BFA. It is designed to provide essenal graphic and digital design skills and knowledge, and the requirements have therefore been revised to include both communicaon design and interacve design skill sets. It further prepares students for skills typically required to bring projects into producon. Upper level requirements offer opons for specializaon and/or creave leadership. In addion, a note is included to advise students to adequately plan for mely compleon.

RE: Trades programs

At its February 23, 2017 meeting, UEC voted to recommend to Senate changes to entrance requirements for a number of Trades programs.

MOTION: THAT Senate approve the changes to the entrance requirements of the following programs as recommended by UEC, effective September 2018: • Plumbing and Piping certificate • Carpentry certificate • Joinery certificate • Welding certificates • Professional Cook certificate • Automotive Service Technician certificate • Automotive Collision Repair and Refinishing certificate

Proposed changes to entrance requirements: • Successful completion of English 12 or Communications 12 or equivalent (English Literature 12, English 12 First Peoples, International baccalaureate English A (standard level or higher level), Advanced Placement English.) with a C grade, OR o UFV Accuplacer Reading comprehension score of 80 or better, together with Accuplacer WritePlacer score of 6 5 or better on the 8-point scale. o UFV CPT (Composition Placement Test) – score of 41 or higher, o TOEFL iBT score of 80 with no section below 19, or o Completion of any other test score or course grade listed in the Entry-level Post- secondary English language proficiency standards.

RATIONALE: Communications 12 is being reinstated as an optional entrance requirement. There have been a great number of high school students who have, and continue to take, Com 12 rather than English 12. With the delay of Com 12 being discontinued as part of the new curriculum in the secondary school system, there are likely to be students applying for some time in the future with Com 12. The programs listed

Trades programs Page 147 of 195 AGENDA ITEM # 4.2.11.

above do not include UFV CMNS courses that would have English 12 as a prerequisite. Programs within Applied & Technical Studies that include CMNS courses will continue to have English 12 as an entrance requirement and will not accept Com 12.

The acceptable Accuplacer WritePlacer score is also being lowered from 6 to 5. Through consultation with the Dean of Access and Continuing Studies, the department has concluded that this level 5 is more appropriate for these programs.

CRIMINOLOGY AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE (pp. 1-6) Engagement (15) Added Success (85)

Faculty Engagement and Added Success Chief Len Garis, an adjunct faculty member in the School had an article published in Firefighting in Canada (Dec 2017). The article focused on the fire services’ use of a computer program to track opioid overdoses in real-time, which allows them to quickly detect when overdoses may be part of a larger cluster. When it detects a pattern, the computer program sends an alert, which informs emergency responders that a “bad batch of drugs may have hit the streets” (p. 13). The authors, Len Garis, Larry Thomas, and Karin Mark, believe this program may reduce the number of fatal overdoses occurring in the City of Surrey.

Dr. Amanda McCormick attended the American Society of Criminology annual conference in Philadelphia in November 2017, where she presented the results of a study on the Contextual Explanations for Intimate Partner Violence, based on the results of a study recently completed by the Centre for Public Safety and Criminal Justice Research. While on the trip to the east coast, Dr. McCormick also met with several colleagues at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York to discuss potential collaboration in research and teaching, and attended a presentation on first responders’ response to disasters (including terrorist events), presented by a Director of the US Department of Homeland Security Lab. The presentation was coordinated by the Christian Regenhard Center for Emergency Response Studies, located at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice.

Faculty members Yvon Dandurand and Annette Vogt presented at the National Restorative Justice Conference in November, and developed a related Discussion Paper for a United Nations Expert Group meeting on Restorative Justice in Criminal Matters facilitated by Yvon Dandurand. 4th year student Krisztina Fovenyi attended this conference alongside Yvon and Annette.

In October, 2017, Yvon also accepted an invitation to contribute to a training curriculum/guide on violence against children for the United Nations’ Education for Justice (E4J) project, an innovative and comprehensive educational approach designed to support the integration of crime prevention and other rule of law aspects into all levels of education. At the university level, E4J aims to facilitate and promote teaching and research on issues related to UNODC mandate areas, including anti-corruption, organized crime, human trafficking, migrant smuggling, terrorist prevention, cybercrime, criminal justice, violence against children and arms trafficking, and integrity and ethics. Yvon’s role is to develop a teaching tool for academics in the area of violence against children in the field of crime prevention and criminal justice. Yvon has hired a criminology student, Craig Yargeau to work on this project with him. Yvon has also agreed to work on a project in the Seychelles Islands on an alternative model to drug addiction which aims to divert offenders with some forms of drug addiction to drug treatment. This project has substantial implications for the response to drug-related crimes, as the Seychelles previously had an extremely high rate of imprisonment due to mandatory sentencing on drug related offences. Faculty member Jon Heidt has also been invited to participate in this research.

On November 11, 2017, Yvon Dandurand completed a radio interview with Radio Canada (Phare Ouest) where he was asked to discuss Public Safety Canada’s announcement about increased funding to counter gangs and guns. Dr. Irwin Cohen also participated in an interview on this topic with CTV News.

In December, 2017, Yvon Dandurand completed a trip to Ethiopia (Addis Ababa and Mekele) to work with the Inter-Ministerial Technical Committee for the development of the Ethiopian National Crime Prevention Strategy. While there, he also worked on a second project involving the National Assessment of Justice for Children.

For the past four years, Yvon Dandurand has been chairing the Witness Protection Program Advisory Committee. Their 2017 annual report, written in June, was released to the public in December 2017. A copy of the report can be found at https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4343400-Witness-Protection-Program-Report- ENG.html

In October 2017, Career Development Coordinator, Michele Giordano, participated in a Media Day as part of her role as the Chair of the Citizens Advisory Committee for Fraser Valley Institution (FVI). A media crew was given access to FVI as part of a production about the activities, and the tour was featured live on Facebook.

On November 27, two members of the School, Dr. Jon Heidt and Michele Giordano, participated in the University of the Fraser Valley’s panel discussion on the opioid crisis, which was open to the public. Dr. Heidt spoke about the history of drug prohibition and presented research on why criminalizing drug use is an ineffective practice, while Michele presented research by Dr. Gabor Mate and Bruce Alexander in explaining why criminalizing drug use is ineffective.

In a related area, on December 6, 2017, the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice collaborated on a very successful Drug User Group and Community Resilience Conference. The conference, which was primarily funded by a Community Action Initiative grant, drew over 200 service providers and drug user groups together at the Abbotsford Banquet Hall for an open discussion about supporting drug users through the opioid crisis, and reducing the stigma and harms associated with drug use. Registered participants included representatives from the Federal Opioid Taskforce and the newly created BC Mobile Response team, led by UFV’s Patrick Storey, a large number of Fraser Health employees, and representatives from community agencies, First Nations organizations, school districts, and first responders. A keynote presenter at the event was Dr. Jane Buxton, a UBC professor and the Epidemiologist and Harm Reduction lead for the BC Centre for Disease Control. Additional presentations throughout the day were made by Drug User Groups, on topics including recovery from drug use, loss of loved ones to drug use, and challenges with accessing services when they are needed. Michele Giordano, the Career Development Coordinator for the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice was a member of the Conference planning committee. The School of Criminology and Criminal Justice provided some funding support for the conference, and several members of the department (Michele Giordano, faculty member Dr. Jon Heidt, and Interim Director Dr. Amanda McCormick) attended the conference throughout the day. Dr. Jane Buxton and Dr. Alexis Crabtree have offered to support Dr. Jon Heidt with any follow up research following the conference, such as creating a best practice model when considering changes to drug policy and the need for healthcare and criminal justice partners to support drug user collaboration and participation.

In December 2017, The School of Criminology and Criminal Justice collected donations from faculty, sessionals, and staff to provide gifts to residents at Firth House. As a result of the donations, the School was able to buy Christmas gifts for 11 children. Cherish Forster and sessional instructor Julie Shuker collaborated on purchasing, wrapping, and delivering the gifts to Firth House. We were also able to provide $150 worth of gift cards to Walmart for residents to be able to purchase supplies for a Christmas party.

Student Engagement and Added Success Sherri St. Cyr, a Master of Arts (Criminal Justice) student successfully defended her Master’s thesis on January 8th. Sherri conducted an exploratory study on BC Transit Police’s Chatterbox program, which enables transit users to anonymously report crime to transit dispatchers using the SMS system. To conduct her study, Sherri analyzed transit statistics, collected data from transit users via an anonymous online survey, conducted focus groups with transit police officers, and conducted interviews with transit dispatchers. Her findings indicated that transit

users utilize the Chatterbox program to report a wide range of problem behaviours on transit, including intoxicated riders, fare evaders, and more serious criminal acts, including assaults. She made a series of recommendations to further enhance the marketing, use of, and application of this system. Sherri was supervised by Dr. Irwin Cohen (senior supervisor) and Dr. Amanda McCormick (second supervisor), and the external examiner was Chief Neil Dubord from the Delta Police Service, who also holds a PhD.

Brad Galloway, an upper year Criminology major, was recently featured in a CBC documentary film on Right Wing Extremist (RWE) groups in Canada (https://watch.cbc.ca/cbc-docs- pov/season-1/02a075f9-c081-4c7b-9c30-93272b16dd3a). Brad, a former member of a RWE group, has dedicated the last several years of his life to helping transition former members of RWE groups into pro-social lives through his volunteerism with the organization Life After Hate. Brad has made several academic presentations on this topic, including at the recent Canadian Youth & Justice Congress in Toronto, Canada in October 2017, and a counter-terrorism conference held in Calgary in October. Brad was also featured in a recent publication with Dr. Ryan Scrivens entitled The Hidden Face of Hate Groups Online: A Former’s Perspective where he was interviewed about his previous experiences with RWE. The article, published January 3rd, can be accessed at http://www.voxpol.eu/hidden-face-hate-groups-online-formers- perspective/.

Program Success: Practice The School’s Career Development Coordinator, Michele Giordano, met with several new practicum sites, including UFV Security team SecuriGuard (where students will receive basic security training), Mission Friendship Centre (students will work on a harm reduction outreach project, and a diversion/alternative measures program project), Griffin Security (basic security training), Thunderbird Project in Hope (homelessness project), and Surrey Fire Hall (investigation based practicum). Overall, 69 students were placed in the fall practicum, with 40 completing CRIM 281 and 29 completing CRIM 470. Two additional students are challenging the practicum. In Winter 2018, we anticipate 79 students will be placed.

HISTORY (pp. 6-7) Engagement (4) Added Success (2)

Department Success Story During the fall 2017 semester, we shepherded our long-awaited Honours Program through much of the approval process. While we await final Senate approval early in the new year, we are hopeful that we will leap that final hurdle and be able to graduate our first honours students as soon as the upcoming graduation in June of 2018. Throughout the process we received much valuable feedback from colleagues in other departments as well as administrators from various levels; we feel confident that the final product adds real value to

our program and serves the needs of our best students. We are especially pleased since this is part of our collective departmental desire to address the needs and desires of our declared majors, a group that we had perhaps ignored in favor of ramping up recruitment at the lower level. We look forward to conferring the credential on our highest achieving students.

Faculty Engagement and Added Success The department would like to highlight the work of Scott Sheffield. Scott has received a contract from Cambridge University Press for his book, Indigenous Peoples and the Second World War: The Politics, Experiences, and Legacies of War in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand (co-authored with Noah Riseman from Australian Catholic University). This book “explores Indigenous contributions and experiences in the Second World War in a transnational, comparative manner. It builds on the existing literature by lifting each country’s experience out of its domestic silo for collective examination…The sacrifices of Indigenous service personnel produced the moral capital to demand change, leading to post- war policy reform, new legislation, and ultimately set the stage for relationships between Indigenous peoples and settler societies/states through to the present.” The book is due out in late 2018 or early 2019. Congratulations, Scott!

Student Engagement and Added Success Several of our students have achieved success, both in academic and applied aspects of our discipline. Melissa Wing, Kylie Wall and Rachel Vandenberg have all had papers accepted for presentation at the upcoming “Philosophy, History, and Politics Undergraduate Conference” being held at Thompson Rivers University in February 2018. We wish them well. In September, Madison Stewart gave a public talk about experiences working as an intern for Mosqoy, a Canadian NGO based in Cusco and the surrounding Sacred Valley region of Peru. Madison was first introduced to Mosqoy during the Peru Study Tour in 2015, led by Geoffrey Spurling.

POLITICAL SCIENCE (p. 12-13) Engagement (4) Added Success (13)

Faculty Engagement and Added Success Edward Akuffo has made significant progress on his project titled “Triangular Relationship: African Union-NATO Cooperation and Canada’s Security Policy in Africa.” As an expert on Canadian security policy in Africa, Edward was invited to a workshop titled, “Canada’s re- engagement with Peace Operations in Africa: Challenges & Opportunities” which was organized by The Roméo Dallaire Child Soldiers Initiative, the Centre for the Study of Security & Development (CSSD), both at Dalhousie University, and the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC) in Accra, Ghana. The workshop was held at KAIPTC in October 2017, and sponsored by Canada’s Department of National Defense. His talk focused on the strategies that Canada could adopt to close the capability gap in United Nations peace operations. Hamish Telford’s manuscript on Quebec & Canadian federalism was accepted for publication. It will be out this year from Peter Lang (New York). It’s called Talking Past Each Other: Quebec and the Federal Dialogue in Canada, 1867 to 2017.

Along with 7 or 8 other political scientists in the province, he has been invited by Dr. Darryl Plecas to participate in a newly convened Speaker’s Forum to discuss the role of MLAs (Members of the Legislative Assembly) in the BC political system. The Forum will adopt a non- partisan framework to explore how Members may empower themselves to be more effective representatives of their communities, and how political culture and dynamics may affect Members’ parliamentary responsibilities and their representative role. Discussions on how to provide MLAs with a strengthened voice to represent their constituents and thereby enhance public perception of the role of parliamentarians will also be at the forefront of the Forum. This multi-year project will entail a number of roundtables, and conclude with the publication of a final report. The first round table will be held on February 9 and 10 in Vancouver. This first meeting will be facilitated by Professor Martha Dow.

Fiona Macdonald co-edited the first ever issue of The Canadian Journal of Political Science dedicated to the topics of gender and feminism. She had the lead article in this special issue. She has been awarded a $5000.00 grant from the BC Law Foundation for her work on medical apologies.

Research

Matters

UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH: JANUARY 2018

Mechatronics option includes student research in the Science program

The senior Physics lab at UFV is bursting with energy on a Monday afternoon. It’s team time. There’s no formal lecture taking place; this is the time when the students in the Engineering Physics in Mechatronics program work on their group projects. One team of four students is working on a quadcopter, built from scratch in the hopes that this baby will fly someday soon. For now it’s bolted to a support, because one small tilt could ruin months of work.

Team member Perrin Waldock is excited by the hands- on nature of the project. Perrin says: “It’s one thing to be looking at equations on a board, and its way cooler to

plug in a motor of something that you’re involved in building and see it do what you want it to do. I had done programming before, but never with motors. That’s the best part — applying the physics we’ve learned.”

These Physics students are working on real-life challenges, complete with nuts, bolts, circuitry, joysticks, and electronic transmitters, and represent a concerted effort by the UFV Physics department to add an applied component to its menu.

Tim Cooper, in the Physics Department, notes the needs of students by stating: “we weren’t offering enough for students who wanted to go apply their Physics knowledge to industrial workplaces. We wanted to give them more hands-on skills.” A project like the quadcopter research was the right kind of hands-on Lin Long, with a UFV student research assistant Brandon Vangenderen, and BC Cancer Agency Researcher, Cameron learning.

FEBRUARY 2018 REPORT TO THE BOARD FROM VICE PRESIDENT, STUDENTS AND ENROLMENT MANAGEMENT JODY GORDON

ATHLETICS For the University of the Fraser Valley athletic department, the winter semester has been highlighted by hosting a series of major events. The department opened the new year with the second annual Cascades Hall of Fame night on Jan. 5, inducting two athletes ( stars Denise Rehman and Peter Wauthy), two builders (Scott Fast and Ken Fernstrom) and one team (1995 men’s soccer). The event renewed connections with alumni, and effectively celebrated the history of the Cascades. Wrestling took over the Envision Financial Athletic Centre from Jan. 26-28. The first two days brought together over 500 school-aged athletes for the Western Canadian Age-Class Championships, and the final day featured an additional 100 athletes competing in the Cascades Classic, UFV’s annual Canada West varsity wrestling tournament. Cascades rookies Parker McBride and Ana Godinez Gonzalez highlighted the weekend by winning gold in their respective weight classes, and the UFV squad collected four other individual medals. The men’s and women’s teams are now gearing up for the Canada West conference championships (Feb. 9-10 in Edmonton) and the national championships (Feb. 23-24 in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.). On the hardwood, the Cascades women’s basketball team qualified for the playoffs in thrilling fashion. They defeated the 80-56 on the last night of the regular season (Feb. 3), and also got a critical out-of-town result when the defeated the Thompson Rivers WolfPack. The combination of those results was enough to get into the post-season, and they open against UVic on Friday, Feb. 9. The youthful UFV men’s basketball team saw its streak of eight consecutive playoff berths come to an end, but there’s a lot of promising talent in the pipeline.

AGENDA ITEM # 7.1.

Looking ahead, and keeping with the theme of major events, the Cascades have a pair of exciting initiatives happening in late February. Feb. 21 is the second annual Cascades Scholarship Breakfast, featuring golf champion James Lepp in conversation with Global BC’s Jay Janower. Tickets are $125 (and return a $90 tax-deductible receipt), and net proceeds go to support student-athlete scholarships. To purchase tickets, visit ufv.ca/cascades-breakfast. That same week, the Cascades volleyball programs host the PACWEST championships for the first time, Feb. 22-24 at the Envision Financial Athletic Centre. Games run at 1, 3, 6 and 8 p.m. daily, and the Cascades will be looking to win banners in front of their home fans. Both UFV teams have spent the bulk of the season ranked nationally, and the Cascades women sit No. 7 as of the time of this writing. Looking further ahead, the UFV team opens its season March 24 at home vs. Thompson Rivers, and the Cascades golf program launches a spring season that culminates with hosting the Canadian University/College Golf Championships at Chilliwack Golf Club (May 29-June 1).

CENTRE FOR ACCESSIBILITY SERVICES (FORMERLY ‘DISABILITY RESOURCE CENTRE’) The Chilliwack campus CAS advisor has been involved in Phase Two of a Transition to Trades Mentorship project. The aim will be to produce an informative video targeting secondary students with disabilities planning post-secondary education in trades/technology. The focus is to recruit student mentors to sign up for this project and create a 20 minute documentary style video pairing student mentees with trades student mentors as they navigate the campus, as well as dispel myths about the transition process and highlight the realities of the Post-Secondary experiences. The content of the video will be driven by questions around pursuing secondary trade education typically asked by secondary students with these barriers. The unscripted video will lead viewers through a day in the life of a trades student, offer insight into daily routines, classroom and shop experiences, where to go for help and more.

As a follow-up of the restructuring of the exam process, the procedures and outcomes have proven to be very successful. The Acting Coordinator observed a smooth transition, with a significant reduction in pressures on CAS advisor offices and front desk resources. Creation of the Support Pool yielded significant benefits, especially in cases where assistance and support for students with mobility challenges were needed. The CAS staff will be attending the DRNBC’s (Disability Resource Network of BC) annual conference in May 2018. The theme for this year’s conference will focus on the importance of collaboration in deliberately designing access for all students with varied challenges to post-secondary education. The CAS staff attended a webinar on the “Sonocent Audio Note taker” software, which captures full recordings of classes and meetings. It can be used for note taking, study skills; audio projects and language learning, potentially reduce the need for note takers and allowing for more engagement and greater learner independence. Following a trial period, this software can be funded through the student’s PPL and CSG programs. In the upcoming UFV’s third annual professional Development day on April 26, the Acting Coordinator and a faculty member from Teacher Education will be presenting on behalf of the Accessibility Advisory Committee on students’ experiences of accessibility at UFV. Questions for the student panel will be focused on entering, transitioning and integrating with UFV life. On January 8th, the CAS department welcomed Desiree Blankenberg as the new Associate Director who brings with her a wealth of experience having worked in both K-12 and university environments as an Educational Psychologist. Desiree will be presenting in the upcoming Professional Development day, April 26th on “The Imbalance between cognitive awareness and emotional self-control of student conduct.” Along with two social work practicum students, she will also be offering 6 lunchtime educational sessions on “My Health and Wellness Vision Board” and cover topics like Procrastination, Sleep, Perfectionism etc., primarily aimed at first year students. The hope is to take it to the Chilliwack campus if it is well received.

COUNSELLING SERVICES As part of the New Student Orientation Student Resources Fair on the Abbotsford campus on January 10th, the Counselling department set up a booth to provide more information on accessibility to Counselling services at UFV, as well as informational brochures on student transition and mental health resources. The annual Bell Let’s Talk event took place on January 31, 2018. Bell Let’s Talk is a national event where universities across Canada come together in the prevention and fight against the stigma that surrounds mental illness, and promote awareness and services available around mental health. The Counselling department collaborated with Bell to host the event on both the Abbotsford and CEP campuses. Bell sponsored toques, poster bubbles, pins and stickers that were distributed to students in honour of the event. To get the conversation started, students were invited to answer questions about the myths around mental health, ways to end the stigma and to share their thoughts around mental health on a banner and poster bubbles, which were later posted around campus. The Counselling department worked with 8 student volunteers from the Peer Resource Learning Centre, Mental Health Awareness Club and the Social Work department to engage the student crowd and connect with a total of 470 students across both campuses. Even Mac the therapy dog had his very own toque!

• Applied Business Technology – Stress Management and Study Skills workshop: January 22 (24 participants); January 24 (25 participants) PAWS for a Break provides time with our therapy dog Mac and his handler, and counsellor, Dawn Holt. Dawn is collaborating with the Peer Resource Leadership Centre to host the program at the PRLC Centre in the Student Union Building as the location is more central for many students. The increases in service demands did not prevent the department from remaining committed to their areas of service: Personal Counselling & Mental Well-Being, Crisis Counselling & Support, Career & Life Planning, Study Skills Instruction & Student Success, and Consultation with faculty, staff, and administrators. The Counselling Department continues to maintain student well-being as their top priority and operates efficiently to meet students’ need for services.

STUDENT LIFE & DEVELOPMENT Coast Capital Savings Peer Resource & Leadership Centre (CCSPRLC)

Canadian Conference on Student Leadership (CCSL) The CCSPRLC and UFV partnered with to co-host the 2018 Canadian Conference on Student Leadership (CCSL) from November 23-25, 2017.

The Coast Capital Savings Team and CCSPRLC Coordinator (2018)

UBC’s Student Leadership Conference On January 13, 2018, a group of Peer Leaders and the CCSPRLC Coordinator attended UBC’s Student Leadership Conference. Students were able to attend workshops and sessions related to the leadership streams that interested them, then share that information with their peers.

Ongoing Initiatives The CCSPRLC has partnered with Student Life to host Wellness Wednesdays in the Cascades Collegium. Students are invited to join in crafting activities which change weekly as a form of self-care. Wellness Wednesday was created and implemented by the CCSPRLC Child and Youth Care practicum student. Through the Winter 2018 semester, Mac the therapy dog, along with his handler, visit the CCSPRLC every Tuesday for PAWS for a Break. This weekly initiative was previously held in the Student Services area, but was moved to the CCSPRLC to reach a larger group and encourage student wellness.

Sexualized Violence Prevention Training “In This Together” Campaign Between September and December, the SVPT Facilitator team has presented to over 700 students and staff on the prevention of sexualized violence at UFV, resulting in just under 1000 UFV community members taking the workshops since August 2017. The three workshops (Healthy Relationships, Active Bystander Intervention, and Receiving a Disclosure) are currently being added to the Co-Curricular Record and developed into a standalone curriculum for the CCR program. Current initiatives within the program include the adaption of new research and content regarding consent awareness. The SVPT is currently working with a researcher from Georgia State University, Dr Laura Salazar, to incorporate her research surrounding online consent training for male post-secondary students. Though only in early discussion, there is possibility for an opportunity to be a pilot institution with her online training module based on her ten year’s of research on sexual violence and consent in the post-secondary environment. In March, the In This Together campaign will be participating in a pilot program with West Coast LEAF (BC’s Women’s Legal Education and Action Fund), to present to students, faculty and staff the legal framework of consent.

The departments are promoting these opportunities via social media, information sessions, Career Link, myUFV, posters, and word of mouth. This enables the Department to reach a diverse audience of students. Applications close on February 19, 2018 and interviews will be completed by March 15, 2018.

Upcoming Inspections Along with Facilities, Housing Operations will conduct Health & Safety inspections during the first two weeks of February and bed bug inspections have been scheduled for February 19 – 23, 2018.

Financial Aid & Awards Department Update

New Funding – Youth Futures Education Fund held by Vancouver Foundation (VF) The Youth Futures Education Fund is additional educational support for those students with approved former youth in care tuition waivers. Financial Aid & Awards (FAA) has developed an application to determine financial need for these students. Students must apply with the FAA office; only additional educational expenses are fundable (books, supplies, transportation to and from school, etc). At this point the FAA has emailed each tuition waiver recipient to notify them of this new funding opportunity and of the March 1st deadline. When fund was first established UFV received $13,320 based on ten approved tuition waivers. There are now twenty approved waivers in place so we have asked for a reassessment.

Documentation Upload Project Financial Aid and Awards has recently deployed new functionality on the student dashboard that provides a safer, secure and private upload of documents to the FAA database. This will make it easier for student to submit documents such as applications, appeals, and reassessments. Some documents such as the appendix 8 is not an electronic application as original signatures are required by Student Aid BC.

Ancillary Services

Housing Operations Housing Operations has continued to focus on capital improvements to Baker House, replacing all hallway and common area carpets over the holiday break. Tandus Field Day “Woodshop” carpet tile was chosen for its ability to be removed in small sections, reducing replacement costs in the future. Each of the building’s 200 mattresses are scheduled be replaced in February. Upgrades to parkade lighting are currently being investigated.

Housing applications for the Summer 2018 and Academic 2018/19 sessions opened on January 15th, 2018. All available spaces are expected to be filled by the end of April. Winter 2018 occupancy is lower than expected due to several late cancellations from students who were expected to remain for the full academic year. There are currently 184 students in residence; of these, 119 are international (64.7%) and 65 are domestic (35.3%). Marketing materials including brochures (designed by University Relations) and information sheets to be distributed by UFV International have been developed to aid recruitment for the coming terms.

Print Services

Print Services continues to improve printing options on campus by sourcing out new printing equipment. A Duplo Perfect Binder machine was recently purchased and gives Print Services the ability to create a professionally finished book. Sample course packs with this new binding are being created for Faculty to review and incorporate into their future course pack requests.

Print Services is in the process of researching a replacement printer for the existing Xerox Nuvera printer. The new machine will offer a substantial cost savings in both the cost of the printer itself and the cost of the click charges. Additionally, it will be more energy efficient and will increase productivity because of the automated features (e.g. inline punching).

Print Services has recently launched an online print ordering form, with the help of University Relations. This new web submission order form was implemented in November 2017 and is available for all staff, faculty, and students to use. This user- friendly form allows for the submission of all required information, including the Copyright Compliance form, all in one screen. This provides convenience and ease for both the user and for Print Services.

Bookstore

The Bookstore Team is celebrating the success of the winter 2018 term. Both the Abbotsford and Chilliwack Bookstores saw an increase in textbook sales and visitors in-store and online. Students were happy to see the return of our fall campaigns:

 Price Match Campaign (over 50 submissions)  Top Ten Textbook Price Drop  Revision & of course/textbook store layout  Increased space of Office/School Supplies  Used Book BuyBack – December & January (30% increase in traffic)

Responding to customer feedback, the Abbotsford Bookstore extended their operating hours before the start of the winter term to allow students to purchase books and supplies before the first day of classes. This resulted in increased sales in the month of December by over $12,000. By making this adjustment in operating hours, online orders were fulfilled within 24 hours versus up to 10 business days in previous years.

The Bookstore Team is dedicated to strengthening our collaboration with UFV departments and students to support UFV community events. In November both stores stocked up and sold out of Ugly Christmas sweaters just in time for the UFV Annual Ugly Christmas Sweater contest

In support of the College of Arts, UFV branded toques were sold in both locations with profits going to support Student Leadership opportunities.

UFV Cascades fan gear was introduced in summer 2017, which was a consignment collaboration with UFV Athletics. Fan gear is a favorite for UFV staff and students and sales in the bookstore have increased 25% each quarter.

Looking forward to the summer semester, the UFV Bookstore Team will continue to work closely with UFV Departments to provide support for upcoming events, including a pop up store during the Fraser Valley Literary Festival in March. The UFV Web team has been working closely with the our team to perfect the new Bookstore website and online store, which will be published in Sprint 2018.

Parking Services

Parking Services is in the process of reviewing the accessibility of parking on campus. Immediate plans for two additional disability parking stalls are in progress to help meet the growing demand. Parking Services is working with the Centre for Accessibility Services to develop a long-term plan. Additionally, the Centre for Accessibility is advising Parking Services on correct terminology for disabled parking. All parking signs and stalls will be updated.

As the number of electric vehicles on campus increases, Parking Services is working to keep up with this trend and provide more charging stations on campus. Over the next fiscal year, three new charging machines will be purchased. Two will be installed on the Abbotsford campus and one will be installed on the CEP campus. Each charging station has the capability of charging two electric vehicles at the same time. Ancillary Services will continue to monitor electric vehicle charging station usage and will acquire more stations as needed.

In collaboration with the Indigenous Student Centre, Parking Services has added "Elder" parking stalls at both at the CEP and Abbotsford campuses, accommodating the needs of our Elders and providing the respect we should accord them. Parking Services will create a designated space in Lot 5 at CEP and one in Lot 10 in Abbotsford, close to the Student Union Building.

Parking Services continues to support the parking needs of many community events. This includes:  Town and Gown Fundraiser  Blood Drive  Stolo MBSR Training (CEP)  Train the Trainer (CEP)  Memorial Service for Fallen Abbotsford Officer

Food Services

Food Services is working with Dana Hospitality on plans to integrate Triple O’s, a popular BC brand, in the Cascades Café. Student surveys show the strong demand from students for popular branded food options on campus. The partnership between Dana and Triple O's is a natural one as they both adhere to the same standards of food quality and locally sourced ingredients. The Triple O’s station will be added to the existing grill area in the Cascades Café over the summer.

UFV will be entering a new ten-year agreement with Tim Hortons, which includes a refresh of the existing Tim Hortons. This refresh will allow us to offer more items from the Tim Hortons menu within the same floor space restrictions.

As part of UFV’s Pedagogy Investment Fund, and recognizing that more than 50 percent of learning happens outside of the classroom, the Cascades Cafe furniture was changed from a ‘high school mess’ to an active learning environment, with furniture and configuration that activates the space. New furniture was also installed in the Abbotsford Spirit Bear Café (formerly called Road Runner Café), which has been configured into collaborative work-space clusters. The change of furniture at both Food Services locations had a big impact as it attracted more students to the areas and produced higher sales.

Conference Services

UFV’s Conference Services had a busy start to 2018, as the office continues to grow at a fast pace. Emil Fernandes, the Conference Services Manager, is actively networking with community groups and members to market the services available. This is resulting in new business as well as securing return business. Year-to-date, Conference Services has generated $220,000 (budgeted for $148,000), which has greatly surpassed the previous year ($141,000 in 2016/17).

The upcoming summer conference season will be the busiest season to date for the office. In June we are hosting the BC Girl Guides Girls Understanding Engineering, Science and Technology Conference. One hundred and thirty 11-12 year old girls and their leaders will be staying, learning, eating, and experiencing UFV. We are helping support the World Scientific Congress on Golf, July 11- 13, hosted by our UFV Golf program. We are working with the Abbotsford Airshow Society to accommodate performers at our UFV Summer Guest Housing for Airshow 2018. We are teaming up with UFV’s International Department to host several ESL groups on campus. Summer Guest Accommodation is close to being sold out.

Conference Services hired a work-study student for the winter 2018 semester. Karlene Dowhaniuk is a fourth year Global Development

Studies student with a background in the hospitality industry. She is contributing to Conference Services while gaining a real life work experience. Karlene is assisting in marketing, campus tours, rental agreements, certificates of insurance requests, invoicing, budgeting, booking space, quoting and organizing catering, and inter department communications.

Campus Card Office The Campus Card office welcomed over 1,500 new and returning students for the winter semester, including staff, and faculty.

Photos taken at the card office are housed in a Banner table and recalled when a change to the photo ID record is required, such as issuing a replacement card. Photos are included in class rosters where the photo is listed beside each student’s name. Faculty members often send students to the card office to obtain a card if there is no photo on the class roster list. Faculty can use this as a security measure to identify students in their class and increasingly more faculty are requesting a Campus Card from their students prior to writing exams.
