3.1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In the years between the two world wars in Europe, the eminent French philosopher Etienne Gilson recognized that an increasingly secular society was unaware of the vastly important role which was played by Christianity during the Middle Ages in the formation of modern Europe. He was offered a post as visiting professor at Harvard which he accepted. After visiting Toronto and meeting such rising academic luminaries as Joseph Muckle C.S.B., Henry Carr C.S.B., and Monsignor Gerald Phelan, he recognized that North America was the place to establish an academic body which would concentrate on the mediaeval period. He consequently established such a body in Toronto, called the Institute of Mediaeval Studies. Although it had no power to grant degrees, its students preparing for MA’s and PhD’s, were registered in the School of Graduate Studies of the University of Toronto. During the middle ‘30's the work of the Institute was brought to the attention of the Sacred Congregation for Seminaries and Universities, in Rome, and the curriculum was reorganized to bring it into line with the requirements of the Sacred Congregation of the Holy See. During this time, as preparation for their potential teaching positions at the Institute, several young priests were sent abroad to study; George Flahiff C.S.B., studied mediaeval history at l’Ecole des Chartres; Wilfrid Dwyer C.S.B. achieved a doctorate in philosophy at Louvain; J. Reginald O’Donnell C.S.B studied palaeography and text editing at Krakow and Munich; Alexander Denomy C.S.B. and Laurence Shook C.S.B. went to Harvard for mediaeval vernacular literatures. Around this time also, the French philosopher Jacques Maritain came to the Institute to teach courses. In recognition of the high quality of academic work which was being done at the Institute, a petition, signed by all fifty-two Canadian bishops, was presented to the Vatican in the spring of 1939. On October 18 of that same year Pope Pius XII issued a mandate to the Sacred Congregation of Seminaries and Universities decreeing the canonical erection of the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies in Toronto with the right to confer academic degrees according to its approved Statutes. Those degrees were the Licence in Mediaeval Studies and the Mediaeval Studies Doctorate, a post PhD degree.

In the mid 1960's a group of University of Toronto medievalists formed the Centre for Medieval Studies in collaboration with the Pontifical Institute. Students who took courses in both places were co-registered, and they all shared the Pontifical Institute Library, and had access to UofT bursaries. In 1998 the Pontifical Institute separated from the University of Toronto and after a hiatus of one year, the Institute Licence programme was once again offered . However this time the Licence was offered as a post-doctoral degree. The Mediaeval Studies Doctorate, which is offered only by invitation to a Candidate who has completed the Licence with exceptional distinction, is currently suspended, pending permission from the Ontario Government, Ministry of Training, Colleges and Organization Review Part A 9

Universities, Government of Ontario, to reinstate it. While the Pontifical Institute has always enjoyed the support of the University of St. Michael’s College, it became necessary in 2005 to apply for an independent status in order to maintain the Institute’s Pontifical Charter. To quote from the preamble to the Act to Incorporate the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, “ ....as a consequence of changes being made to the governance of The University of St. Michael’s College, the Institute must become a corporation independent of The University of St. Michael’s College in order to retain its canonical status as a Pontifical Institute.” The Act to incorporate The Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies received Royal Assent on December 15, 2005.

That Act gives the Objects of the Institute as: 3.1 a) to operate as a graduate school of research and theological studies: b) to conduct research in the thought, culture, writings and institutions of medieval society; and c) to promote knowledge of the Middle Ages by teaching and by scholarly publication.

The Institute has as its primary purpose and goal, the conduct of research in the thought, culture, writings and institutions of mediaeval society; its secondary purpose is to promote knowledge of the Middle Ages, both by teaching and by scholarly publication. The Institute therefore undertakes to bring together a community of scholars, to provide them with facilities for research, to guide the work of more advanced students, to aid senior scholars both by mutual encouragement and by publication of their findings, and to foster scholarly cooperation among mediaevalists. Consistent with this is an in depth examination and subsequent publication of scholarly findings which can be made available to others. In order to study and understand the intellectual achievements of the mediaeval period, one must apply an interdisciplinary method. The programme of the Institute has always required an interdisciplinary approach, and the ability to work with original sources. Thus the courses offered in the past included such topics as history, law, vernacular literature, art, archaeology, philosophy, liturgy, theology, Latin language and palaeography, codicology, diplomatics, editing of texts, and also required the ability to read several relevant modern languages and where appropriate, additional mediaeval languages such as for example, Old Church Slavonic and Byzantine Greek.

Relationship between the proposed programme and the mission and strengths of the Organization Review Part A 10

organization: As may be recognized from the preceding statement of history, mission and academic goals, the Pontifical Institute has been offering degree programmes for sixty- seven years. During that time, twelve MSD’s have been awarded under the auspices of the Pontifical Charter. However, because of these changed circumstances, we must now seek permission from the Ministry of Universities and Colleges of the Province of Ontario. This is a somewhat anomalous situation whereby we are seeking permission to continue to do what we have already been doing for a long time. But that fact confirms that the proposed programme does indeed fulfill the mission of the Pontifical Institute as has been carried out by its faculty for nearly seven decades. In order for a Candidate to be invited to undertake a Mediaeval Studies Doctorate, they must first complete an exceptionally good Licence, that is, one which is awarded the grade of summa cum laude. The Licence is supervised by at least one faculty member of the Pontifical Institute, with a second advisor who may be PIMS faculty, or chosen from elsewhere, according to the topic. The MSD is supervised by at least one PIMS faculty member. There are two readers who assess the work before a defence is organized. The committee of seven members is selected for a defence, similar to that of a PhD at most universities. Actually the appraisers of this application might consider the MSD as somewhat comparable to the Habilitation, required after the PhD at universities in Germany. The main difference is that in Germany attainment of the post doctoral degree is required. Here, only a few people complete the MSD, and then only by invitation.

How Organizational and Reporting Structures support the Stated Mission and Goals. Only candidates who have completed an exceptional Licence are invited to proceed to the Doctorate. After written nomination by two Fellows and approval by Council, this invitation is extended by the President .After due consultation with the Committee on Academic Programmes, to whom the candidate must submit a detailed outline of the proposed programme of research, and with the approval of all the Academic Fellows of the Institute, the candidate proceeds with the research for a period of not less than two years. The Registrar of PIMS maintains up to date records on all Candidates, monitors deadlines, and when a doctoral thesis is ready, in collaboration with the President of the Institute, sets up the committee for the defence, and organizes the event.

How Administrative policies and practices: Promote the learning and educational goals of post secondary education: Candidates for the Mediaeval Studies Doctorate already have a PhD from another institute of higher education. Their research for the MSD must be examined by a committee of seven scholars and also be accepted for publication before the degree is awarded. Both of these criteria help to ensure the highest level of scholarship. Organization Review Part A 11

Ensure that business practices and decisions support the academic integrity of programmes and protect student interests: Under the provisions of The Act, the business and financial responsibility of the Institute is entrusted to the Board of Governors. Section 3.2 states “The Institute shall carry out its objects in such a way as to retain its canonical status as a Pontifical Institute recognized by the Congregation for Catholic Education of the Holy See” and section 7.2 states “The board has all the powers that are necessary or convenient to perform its duties and achieve the objects of he Institute.”

Support the capacity of the organization to deliver the programme ( past performance?) Staying within a balanced budget ensures continued functioning.

Summary and explanation of the organization’s financial capacity to develop, sustain and deliver the programme in Ontario. The Pontifical Institute has a signed Protocol with the University of St. Michael’s College. The Preamble states the following: “The purpose of this Protocol is to describe the relationship between the University and the Institute following the establishment of the Institute as a separate legal corporation, and also to describe the assets to be assumed by the Institute. The Institute will continue to be affiliated with the University and to contribute to its life and reputation with advanced teaching, research and publishing in medieval studies. This protocol will remain in effect for a period of 10 years from the date that the new legislation of the University and the Institute take effect, and will continue thereafter subject to periodic review.” A copy of the full document and relevant correspondence with the University of Toronto is appended as pages 32-33.( 13.1 Other Relevant Information).

A summary of PIMS’ financial capacity to develop, sustain and deliver the program in Ontario The planned doctorate program should not involve any extra expenses other than the occasional costs of outside assessors for the doctoral defense. For details see 5.3 Organization Review Part A 12

4 SYNOPSIS OF PROPOSED PROGRAMME

4.1 Programme Abstract

The Mediaeval Studies Doctorate is a post PhD degree, which is awarded by PIMS to candidates who have completed an exceptional Licence, and who have completed at least two further years of study, on a topic approved by Council, and have produced a major study which has been accepted for publication, following a public defence of the thesis. In many instances the candidate will already be employed in an institution of higher learning. A final requirement for the degree is that the research results be accepted for publication before the degree is awarded. This means that the results of the candidate’s intensive research into some aspect of the Middle Ages are made available to other scholars as quickly as possible. The beneficial aspects of the study of the Middle Ages are spelled out elsewhere in this application. ( see Part B,QAR2, p.5) Organization Review Part A 13

Mission Statement and Academic Goals

5.1 History, Mission and Goals

HISTORY, MISSION AND ACADEMIC GOALS

year, the Institute Licence programme was once again offered . However this time the Licence was offered as a post-doctoral degree. The Mediaeval Studies Doctorate, which is offered only by invitation to a Candidate who has completed the Licence with exceptional distinction, is currently suspended, pending permission from the Ontario Government, Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, Government of Ontario, to reinstate it.

The Institute has as its primary purpose the conduct of research in the thought, culture, writings and institutions of mediaeval society; its secondary purpose is to promote knowledge of the Middle Ages, both by teaching and by scholarly publication. The Institute therefore undertakes to bring together a community of scholars, to provide them with facilities for research, to guide the work of more advanced students, to aid senior scholars both by mutual encouragement and by publication of their findings, and to foster scholarly cooperation among mediaevalists. Consistent with this is an in depth examination and subsequent publication of scholarly findings which can be made available to others. In order to study and understand the intellectual achievements of the mediaeval period, one must apply an interdisciplinary method. The programme of the Institute has always required an interdisciplinary approach, and the ability to work with original sources. Thus the courses offered in the past included such topics as history, law, vernacular literature, art, archaeology, philosophy, liturgy, theology, Latin language and palaeography, codicology, diplomatics, editing of texts, and also required the ability to read several relevant modern languages and where appropriate, additional mediaeval languages such as for example, Old Church Slavonic and Byzantine Greek.

5.2.1 Current Degree Programmes Title Degree Level Credential Awarded Mediaeval Studies Licence Post doctoral MLS

The Licence is a prerequisite to the MSD.

5.2.2 Proposed Programme and Mission Goals The Proposed Programme is the Mediaeval Studies Doctorate. The candidacy for this degree is offered to one who has completed an exceptionally good Licence, on a topic which clearly warrants further in depth research. The finished work is a book length manuscript, and constitutes a detailed study of some aspect of the Middle Ages. By requiring that the work be published, as a requirement for the degree, the Council ensures that the research is made available to other scholars in a timely fashion.

This is a new application, but not a new program. Since the administrative separation of the Pontifical Institute and the University of St. Michael’s College it has become necessary to apply for permission to offer this degree.

This plan analyses all current sources of income and all expenses and projects them over five years with the following assumptions: – inflation of about 3% per year – normal retirements of current faculty – committed hires – possibility of 2 new hires at an intermediary level in 2008-2009

Revenue: The Mediaeval Studies Foundation has the resources to continue its current funding both for general expenses and for the Boyle Chair of Manuscript Studies. The University of St. Michael’s College is committed to a fixed accounting and plant/space subsidy, as well as a rising portion of its block grant from the University of Toronto. The Basilian Fathers of St. Michael’s College are committed to a fixed donation from its investments. Student Aid income (post-doctoral fellowships) are to be endowed over the next five years with the aid of the Mellon Foundation; transitional funding at current levels is promised. The Library endowment will make a significant contribution to library acquisitions (5% of value each year) over the next 5 years minimum. Donations include a base amount of almost $15,000 a year from the Knights of Columbus. Other donations should rise with inflation.

Expenditures: Salaries of current faculty have been inflated. Retirements have been figured in. New hires (beginning at about $70,000/year) have been calculated, beginning in 2008-09 or 2009-10. Pension contributions are based on past experience. Accounting and plant costs are fixed and offset for the most part by the subsidies from the University of Saint Michael’s College. Library acquisitions include base budget for monographs, periodicals, and binding, supplemented by the Library endowment and by donations. Student awards match the Student Aid Income. Organization Review Part A 20

Other expenses for administration (Institute Secretary, other overheads) have been increased by the inflation factor.

Business Plan and Academic Programs: The current revenue/expenditures cover the current Licence program expenses. The planned doctorate program should not involve any extra expenses other than the occasional costs of outside assessors for the doctoral defence.

5.4 Academic Policies

The Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies strives to encourage and maintain interdisciplinary studies of the highest academic level. Students are expected to have the skills to work with primary sources in all fields. This includes both textual sources and material culture. Since all of our students have a PhD from another institution on admission to our programme, they have acquired these skills elsewhere. But those skills are tested and augmented in the form of interdisciplinary seminars for the Licence in Mediaeval Studies. For the proposed Mediaeval Studies Doctorate the makeup of the examination panel for the oral defence serves the same purpose. Organization Review Part A 21

6.2 Responsibilities and Authority responsibility and authority of each body and eligibility criteria for appointment to each body see Bill Pr21, An Act to incorporate The Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, which received Royal Assent December 15, 2005.

Section 9.1,2 The Chancellor is normally the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Toronto. If the office of the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Toronto is vacant, the person who, in accordance with the provisions of canon law, is elected Vicar Capitular of the Archdiocese or is appointed Apostolic Administrator shall act as the Chancellor of the Institute.

Section 10 . The praeses is the senior administrative officer of the Institute and is charged with the general oversight of the Institute as a whole under the direction and control of the board. (See note Organization Review Part A 23 above.)

The Treasurer may be a senior member of faculty or co-opted from the University of St. Michael’s College Accounting Department. The Treasurer is responsible for all day to day financial transactions of PIMS and for future financial planning. The Treasurer is a member of the Board of Directors.

The Registrar is a senior member of faculty, responsible for maintaining student records, ensuring that students meet deadlines and fulfill all requirements. The Registrar chairs the Committee on Associates and Awards, and organizes a convocation approximately every three years.

6.2.3 Reporting Structure

The administrative staff and officers of the institute report to the Academic Dean who in turn reports to the President, who reports to the Board. The Treasurer reports also to the Finance Committee which in turn reports to the Board.

6.3 Administrative Staff

6.4 Coordination of Business and Academic Plans

6.4.1 Academic Plan The chief academic goal of PIMS is the continuation of the Licence in Mediaeval Studies, and we are now seeking recognition for the MSD. The time frame for this is that we be given permission as soon as possible.....). While the MSD does not imply any specific outlay of expenditures or effort on the part of PIMS, we would like the reassurance that if a suitable candidate came along, we would be able to invite that person to do the Mediaeval Studies Doctorate. as we have a candidate Organization Review Part A 24

who awaits approval ( see Part B, pp.

6.4.2 Coordination of Business and Academic Plans Plans for new hires, as outlined in the business plan, are organized in consultation with the Board of Directors, the praeses and the senior fellows of the Institute. Each of the Fellows of the Institute has a specific academic discipline, in fact sometimes more than one, but each one also has experience in interdisciplinary research and publication. An expansion of the number of faculty at PIMS can only enhance the experience of a candidate for the MSD.

Since the Academic Plan for the doctorate essentially involves no new costs to the Institute, and is completely operable within its current configuration, the current Business Plan showing a stable continuation of the finances of the Institute fully supports the Academic Plan. No fundamental changes are necessary, nor are any planned.

6.5 Participation in Academic Policies and Standards As there is no formal curriculum for the MSD, beyond two years of independent research, there is no policy regarding curriculum development. Organization Review Part A 25

Student Protection

8.1 Student Recruitment Policies

1. For the Licence in Mediaeval Studies, all candidates must hold a PhD from a recognized institution of higher learning. After completion of the MSL, if the work has been of exceptional quality, the student is invited to complete the Mediaeval Studies Doctorate.

2. Their area of research must be one which can be supervised by a PIMS Fellow.

3. The student’s competence in English and relevant other research languages must be sufficient for graduate work.

4. To be invited to proceed to the MSD a candidate must complete an exceptional Licence on a topic which is open to further in depth research for the requirements of the Mediaeval Studies Doctorate.

5.After completion of the Licence, the MSD candidate works independently, but in consultation with the appointed advisor, from whatever location their circumstances dictate. The Pontifical Institute library and faculty are available to them as needed.

8.2 Policy Awareness

8.2.1 Academic Calendar Candidates for the Licence must give two seminars on their research, one each term. Each candidate is expected to attend all the seminars, to participate in the discussion and within two years of registration, submit a paper “deemed publishable by PIMS Council.” There is no course work requirement. For the Mediaeval Studies Doctorate, the candidate must spend at least two years in further research before submitting a book length manuscript which is then subject to a public defence, as follows: Excerpts from the Institute Statutes, pre 2005 Act.

Article 64: The Candidate shall submit two copies of his/her Dissertation when, in the judgement of the Fellow directing its preparation, it is ready for appraisal; The President shall then appoint as Appraisers two other qualified scholars, who need not be Fellows of the Institute. Only if they agree that the work is ready for defence shall the Institute proceed with arrangements for the public examination. Each of the two Appraisers shall, moreover, submit a written report in which he indicates what he regards as the strengths and weaknesses of the work, the points at which it may Organization Review Part A 27 require amendment, and the grade which the Candidate should receive for it.

Article 65: When a Doctoral Candidate is to be examined on his/her Dissertation the President shall, in consultation with the Committee on Academic Programmes, appoint a Board of Examiners consisting of not fewer than seven qualified scholars, of whom at least five shall be Fellows of the Institute. They shall examine the Candidate in a public defence, observing the procedures established by Council for the conduct of these examinations.

Article 66: After a successful defence, Council shall appoint a Fellow to supervise the implementation of the amendments urged by Appraisers and Examiners. Only when this Fellow reports to Council that the required changes have been incorporated, and that the work is in the process of publication, shall Council proceed to award the Doctorate by a vote of the Fellows.

The attached copy of the Handbook of the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies is the equivalent to an academic calendar.

8.2.2 Policy Awareness

Credit transfer arrangements - not applicable, since our Licence is a prerequisite for the MSD. Prior learning assessment - proof of PhD from a recognized institution is required prior to admission to the Licence programme. Entrance examinations - not applicable Student support and services - All MSL candidates are eligible for health insurance and the University of Toronto Health Service, access to all UofT libraries, access to the Athletic centre. An MSD candidate may or may not be in Toronto. In most cases in the past they have been teaching at a university elsewhere in Canada, USA, Britain, etc. and use the facilities of their own institutions. However, if they need the specialized resources of the Pontifical Institute library they generally make use of them during the summer or Christmas break and sabbatical leave. Very often the candidate is dependent on microfilms which they have in their own possession, having purchased them from the relevant institutions e.g. copies of manuscripts in the holdings of European Libraries and Museums. The candidate is also in regular contact with his or her appointed supervisor. Organization Review Part A 28

Academic Freedom and Integrity

9.1 Academic Freedom Policy on Academic Freedom - Candidates at the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies are not in any way constrained in their choice of topics of research by issues of faith or religion. The only constraint is that the chosen area of research be the Middle Ages and that there shall be a member of faculty at the Pontifical Institute whose own area of expertise is appropriate for supervision and/or advice.

9.1.2 Academic Freedom Constraints Will students or staff be asked to sign or adhere to a statement of faith and/or code of conduct that might constitute a constraint upon academic freedom? No.

9.2 Intellectual Products Students at the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies are expected to commit to the highest standards of integrity and to understand the importance of protecting and acknowledging intellectual property. Ownership of the intellectual property produced by the student remains with the student. In case of any dispute, the regulations and procedures of the University of Toronto School of Graduate Studies shall apply.

9.3 Ethical Research Practices For policies on management of research funds, the Institute Fellows and students follow the guidelines of the granting agencies. These are audited annually. Policies related to humans and animals are not applicable.

9.4 ACADEMIC HONESTY 9.4.1 There are no courses or examinations involved in the Licence or the Mediaeval Studies Doctorate. The research must be original, and any plagiarism ought to be identified by the multiple readers and examiners of the thesis.

9.4.2 All the Fellows of PIMS have taught at other institutions of higher learning and are aware of policies pertaining to academic honesty. This is also spelled out in the Handbook of the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies. Since the potential MSD candidates are required to hold a PhD, and have therefore spent many years in an academic milieu, we expect them to be familiar with universal policies of academic honesty. 10 Financial Stability Organization Review Part A 29

10.1.1 Financial Resources

The Mediaeval Studies Foundation, with capital (as of 31 December 2006) of $7,663,000 including $3,656,000 for the Leonard Boyle Chair in Manuscript Studies, makes an annual general transfer to the Institute of $324,000 along with support for the Boyle Chair of $150,000 (to be inflated over time). The Basilian Fathers of St. Michael’s College have endowments (from the sale of property and art) which produce at least $75,000 per year, half of which is transferred to PIMS. (The other half is transferred to the Faculty of Theology, University of St. Michael’s College). The University of Saint Michael’s College grants an accounting subsidy to the Institute of $67,200 per year (covering the entire costs of accounting), and a facilities subsidy of $96,957 per year (covering about two-thirds of the facilities cost). The University of Saint Michael’s College, through an agreement with the University of Toronto, transfers a proportion of its block grant to the Institute. Based on a ratio set in the late 1990s, this support has risen from about $117,000 per year to its current level of $150,000. It will increase each year due to the inflationary factors built into the agreement between the two universities. Student Aid support is currently covered by a donation from the Mellon Foundation (about $150,000 per year), which is gradually being converted to an endowment through fund raising and a matching grant. There are also two smaller endowments (the Synan Endowment and the Sheehan Endowment) of approximately $150,000 each, of which about $120,000 of each is the restricted base. These produce a number of annual smaller fellowships. The Library Endowment is approximately $245,000 which furnishes expendable income of 5% per year. The Endowment continues to grow with the receipts of donations from outside donors. The Knights of Columbus( USA) have committed to a $15,000 per year (approximate) direct donation to the Institute. The Federal government transfers between $11,000 and $14,000 per year to the Institute as part of its Indirect Cost Grant program. This money is transferred direct to the Institute by the University of Toronto.

10.1.2 Sufficient Capital

As indicated in 10.1.1, there are sufficient capital resources to support the program. Included is a copy of the 2006-2007 Audited Financial Statements for the Institute. Capital investment of about $30,000,000 in Library resources (monographs, periodicals, Organization Review Part A 30 images, and plant resources) is not included in the statements since all expenditures previous to the last five years have been fully depreciated. (Only undepreciated assets are included in the Financial Statements.) Capital investment in office and classroom furniture and equipment is, for the most part, fully depreciated. Only a few recently purchased items are included in the capitalized resources found in the Financial Statements.

10.1.3 Tuition Fees

No tuition fees are currently collected, nor currently planned.

10.2. Financial Audit Policy

The Finances of the Institute are fully audited each year by a professional accounting firm (Ernst and Young). The choice of auditors mirrors the choice made by the University of Saint Michael’s College, since the financial records for the Institute are maintained by the Accounting Office of the University of Saint Michael’s College. However, the auditors prepare completely separate statements for the Institute. The audit is required by the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies Act, 2005, specifically Article 8: “The board shall appoint one or more licensed public accountants to audit the accounts and transactions of the Institute at least annually. The audit is also required for the maintenance of the Institute’s charitable status with the Canada Revenue Agency.

Audited Statement from Ernst & Young, as at April 30, 2006 appended. in 13.1. Organization Review Part A 31

11 Dispute Resolution

11.1 Dispute Resolution Policies In cases of dispute the Registrar shall be the first level of appeal, and if that does not resolve the issue, it shall be forwarded to the Chair of the Committee on Academic Programmes. Where a resolution cannot be found by the Committee on Academic Programmes, the standards and procedures of the University of Toronto School of Graduate Studies will be applied. In all cases however, the Academic Council shall have the final decision.

11.2 Policy Implementation and Awareness

Each Fellow, and each candidate for the MSL and the MSD is given a copy of the Pontifical Institute Handbook, in which this policy is stated. Organization Review Part A 32

12 Organizational Evaluation

12.1 Periodic Review Policy and Schedule

Until 1998, all PIMS faculty were subject to five year reviews in the various departments of the University of Toronto to which they were cross-appointed. For example, most were cross-appointed to the University of Toronto Centre for Medieval Studies, some to the History Department, one to Museum Studies, two to the Toronto School of Theology, two to York University. Their work was assessed in those departments by external appraisers. In addition, the annual President’s Report published by the Pontifical Institute is a public record of their work in courses taught, publications, graduate student supervision, committee work and community contributions. A copy of the most recent President’s Report is attached. After the 1998 separation of PIMS from the University of Toronto, some faculty continued to teach in those departments, and participated in the normal five year reviews.

With this application we are commencing a new period of time and a new schedule. The request for our faculty members to teach in various departments is ongoing but intermittent. If this application is successful, we shall be happy to set up a schedule for Self-Study and Periodic Review according to the instructions of the appraisers. Organization Review Part A 33

offered as a post-doctoral degree. The Mediaeval Studies Doctorate, which is offered only by invitation to a Candidate who has completed the Licence with exceptional distinction, is currently suspended, pending permission from the Ontario Government, Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, Government of Ontario, to reinstate it. While the Pontifical Institute has always enjoyed the support of the University of St. Michael’s College, it became necessary in 2005 to apply for an independent status in order to maintain the Institute’s Pontifical Charter. To quote from the preamble to the Act to Incorporate the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, “ ....as a consequence of changes being made to the governance of The University of St. Michael’s College, the Institute must become a corporation independent of The University of St. Michael’s College in order to retain its canonical status as a Pontifical Institute.” The Act to incorporate The Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies received Royal Assent on December 15, 2005.

The training and experience is valuable for all areas of work, whether one is teaching in a university, working in government, industry, private enterprise, or pursuing a professional career.” the University of Toronto Graduate Calendar, 1996-7, p. 15. There are no course requirements, and therefore no curriculum design to describe.

Highlighting: i) program strengths -

In order to study and understand the intellectual achievements of the mediaeval period, one must apply an interdisciplinary method. The programme of the Institute has always required an interdisciplinary approach, and the ability to work with original sources, whether in text or material culture.

ii) program outcomes and delivery methods

The MSL programme and the MSD programme are both programmes of individual research. Consultation is available, but the candidate mostly works independently.

Purpose and role of work experiences - not applicable identification of anticipated employment possibilities - - the same as for those with a PhD in any academic discipline in the humanities.

3.1 Program Abstract:

The Mediaeval Studies Doctorate is a post PhD degree, which is awarded by PIMS to candidates who have completed an exceptional Licence, and who have completed at least two further years of study, on a topic approved by Council, and have produced a major study which has been accepted for publication, following a public defence of the thesis. In many instances the candidate will already be employed in an institution of higher learning. A final requirement for the degree is that the research results be accepted for publication before the degree is awarded. This means that the results of the candidate’s intensive research into some aspect of the Middle Ages is made available to other scholars as quickly as possible. The beneficial aspects of the study of the Middle Ages is spelled out elsewhere in this application. ( see QAR2 p. 5, Summary of proposed program, ii) QAR 11

4.1 Degree Level Summary The following is taken from The Statutes of the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies.(March 2, 1973). These statutes are currently under revision subsequent to the Act of Incorporation.

Article 63: Upon completion of the programme, a Junior Associate who has shown unusual promise should be invited to apply for Research Associateship and candidacy for the Doctorate in Mediaeval Studies. The programme for that Doctorate shall consist of at least two full years of study and research beyond the License. Council shall not admit anyone to candidacy for this degree until he/she has submitted not only a general outline of the research to be done, but must be approved by the Committee on Academic Programmes, and the plan must be signed by the Fellow under whose direction the Dissertation is to be written.

Article 64: The Candidate shall submit two copies of his/her Dissertation when, in the judgement of the Fellow directing its preparation, it is ready for appraisal; The President shall then appoint as Appraisers two other qualified scholars, who need not be Fellows of the Institute. Only if they agree that the work is ready for defence shall the Institute proceed with arrangements for the public examination. Each of the two Appraisers shall, moreover, submit a written report in which he indicates what he regards as the strengths and weaknesses of the work, the points at which it may require amendment, and the grade which the Candidate should receive for it.

A student who is invited to do the Mediaeval Studies Doctorate normally completes the PhD at another institution before going on to finish the requirements of the MSD. The foregoing is taken from the previous Statutes of the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, i.e. pre-2005 Incorporation Act. When these statutes were written, the Licence was offered to candidates at the University of Toronto, between the MA and the PhD. Currently the Licence is offered post PhD. Therefore, all candidates for the MSD will have a PhD in hand. The topic of the MSD is usually an in depth continuation of an aspect of the topic studied for the Licence. The thesis is normally a book length manuscript which must be accepted for publication before the degree is awarded. This ensures that this intensive level of scholarship is made available to other scholars as quickly as possible. QAR 12

A student who has completed an exceptional Licence, with a grade of summa cum laude, may be invited to complete the Mediaeval Studies Doctorate. After consultation with the candidate as to their willingness to complete the requirements, the candidate is nominated by two members of Council. This nomination is submitted in writing to the registrar who puts it on the agenda for the next available Council meeting. If Council agrees, then the praeses (president) will write to the candidate, asking for a detailed outline of the proposed research, which is then distributed to the members of the Academic Programmes Committee. The recommendation of that committee is presented at Council after which the Chair of the committee will convey the positive vote of Council in written form to the candidate. The candidate has a maximum period of 10 years in which to present the final work for defence.

6.3.3.2 Undergraduate Academic Course Schedule not applicable

6.3.3.3 Graduate Academic Course Schedule For the Licence in Mediaeval Studies, which is the prerequisite for an invitation to complete a Mediaeval Studies Doctorate, the candidate, who already holds a PhD, and therefore has completed a full set of graduate courses and fulfilled all language requirements, must present two seminars on their area of research to an interdisciplinary body made up of the Fellows and Associate Fellows of PIMS, such faculty of the University of Toronto or York University as may wish to attend and any visiting faculty from elsewhere, plus their fellow candidates in any given year. For the seminar, the candidate presents their paper for the first hour, followed by a second hour of questions and discussions. The same process is repeated in the second term, except that the candidates are reporting on progress in their research. The final requirement is that two readers approve the paper which results from these two seminars, and declare that it is worthy of publication. The entire Academic Council of PIMS then votes to determine a grade, and by vote awards the degree. This then is the background which is required in order to be invited to do the MSD.

6.4 Course Outlines and Other Graduation Requirements There are no course requirements. QAR 32

The following excerpt from the Statues of the Institute lists further details for examination:

Article 63: Upon completion of the Licence programme, a Junior Associate who has shown unusual promise should be invited to apply for Research Associateship and candidacy for the Doctorate in Mediaeval Studies. The programme for that Doctorate shall consist of at least two full years of study and research beyond the Licence.

7.1.1 Quality Assurance Policies The description of the selection and examination process for the Mediaeval Studies Doctorate has been given in 4.1 and 5.3. The examination board of seven faculty members, plus the requirement for publication prior to awarding the degree, constitutes a quality assessment.

7.1.2 Policy on Student Feedback Since the awarding of the MSD occurs only rarely, student feedback can occur on an individual basis between the student and the registrar and/or any members of the examination committee.

7.1.3 Student Feedback Instruments not applicable

7.2 On-line Delivery not applicable

7.2.2 Academic Community Policies not applicable QAR 35

8. Capacity to deliver standard

The applicant has the capacity to deliver the quality of education necessary for students to attain the stated and necessary learning outcomes. When accepting candidates for the license the committee considers whether there is an appropriate PIMS faculty member to be an advisor. Therefore it is not possible to invite someone to do the MSD unless there is a suitable PIMS faculty member to supervise the work.

8.4 Policies on Faculty

All faculty must hold a PhD in a relevant discipline from a recognized institution. On file - proof of highest academic credential Faculty do not have teaching loads for PIMS, but may do so for other parts of the University of Toronto and York University. They may also supervise PhD theses for UofT, the Faculty of Theology, and occasionally externally. If they are assessed via student evaluations, that information is the property of Uof T and not available to PIMS. The supervisory loads for the Licence vary from QAR 47 year to year, while the supervisory role for an MSD candidate is rare, since the invitation to someone to complete the MSD does not happen every year. PIMS faculty are available throughout the academic year both in person and by email for student consultation. Faculty at PIMS are expected to do research and to publish the results. The faculty performance evaluation is shown via the annual President’s report which lists all student supervision, publications, conferences attended, committee work and community work. Recent copies are submitted with this application. Faculty apply for research funding to the SSHRC in Ottawa and for smaller research and conference travel grants may apply to the University of St. Michael’s College, SSHRC Small Institution Grants.

The selection of a candidate for the Mediaeval Studies Doctorate, the degree for which we seek approval, is an “occasional” event, occurring perhaps once every three to five years. Therefore it is not possible to complete the table as requested as we cannot predict just when a likely candidate will appear. But we only invite someone to do the Doctorate if there is an appropriate faculty member at PIMS to supervise the work. No special technical requirements are needed, nor teaching assistants, etc.. The MSD candidate does not have a residency requirement.

9. Credential Recognition Standard

9.1 Program Design and Credential Recognition

Graduates of our MSL programme, and past MSD holders, have received recognition from their various institutions for these additional degrees. In cases of candidacy for a tenure track position, the MSL does give the applicant an added advantage. Frequently the registrar is asked to give a description of the MSL programme at the time of a tenure review. For holders of the MSD, this has been recognized at PTR reviews for salary increases.

In addition, see pages 51-62, a brief report prepared for the Mellon Foundation to inform them of the work of the Mellon Fellows 1999 - 2004. These were all successful candidates for the MSL degree, the required preparation for the MSD. This report does not include the work of Greti Dinkova-Bruun ( described earlier) as she did not receive a Mellon Fellowship. QAR 66

10.1.1 Licensing Requirements n.a.

10.1.2 Licensing Bodies n.a. QAR 67

11. Program Evaluation Standard

11.1 Program Evaluation Policies and Procedures Periodic Review Policy and Schedule

The LMS has had periodic evaluations and modifications. For example, in 1988, when the students had joint registration with the Pontifical Institute and the University of Toronto, it became necessary to modify the programme to fit in with the half course requirements of UofT. In 1998, after the separation of PIMS from UofT, the LMS programme was suspended for two years and then became a post doctoral one, identified as the MSL. While there is not, as yet, a set time for a review of the MSD programme, largely because of the infrequent instance, if this application is approved, we would be happy to establish such a schedule.

Program Description: Overview of organization’s history, mission, and academic goals

Toronto and after a hiatus of one year, the Institute Licence programme was once again offered . However this time the Licence was offered as a post-doctoral degree. The Mediaeval Studies Doctorate, which is offered only by invitation to a Candidate who has completed the Licence with exceptional distinction, is currently suspended, pending permission from the Ontario Government, Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, Government of Ontario, to reinstate it. While the Pontifical Institute has always enjoyed the support of the University of St. Michael’s College, it became necessary in 2005 to apply for an independent status in order to maintain the Institute’s Pontifical Charter. To quote from the preamble to the Act to Incorporate the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, “ ....as a consequence of changes being made to the governance of The University of St. Michael’s College, the Institute must become a corporation independent of The University of St. Michael’s College in order to retain its canonical status as a Pontifical Institute.” The Act to incorporate The Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies received Royal Assent on December 15, 2005.

Summary of proposed program Relationship between: i) The program and the organization’s mission and academic goals

ii) the program learning outcomes and the curriculum design The learning outcomes are best described by this quote:“In the educational process the graduate student comes to grips with the phenomenon of emerging knowledge. The process enriches the individual as well as the community participating in the exercise. The training and experience is valuable for all areas of work, whether one is teaching in a university, working in government, industry, private enterprise, or pursuing a professional career.” the University of Toronto Graduate Calendar, 1996-7, p. 15. There are no course requirements, and therefore no curriculum design to describe.

Highlighting: i) program strengths -

The MSL programme and the MSD programme are both programmes of individual research. Consultation is available, but the candidate mostly works independently.

Purpose and role of work experiences - not applicable identification of anticipated employment possibilities - - the same as for those with a PhD in any academic discipline in the humanities. summary of the organizations’s capacity to deliver the program - This is a new application, but not a new program.

3.1 Program Abstract:

The Mediaeval Studies Doctorate is a post PhD degree, which is awarded by PIMS to candidates who have completed an exceptional Licence, and who have completed at least two further years of study, on a topic approved by Council, and have produced a major study which has been accepted for publication, following a public defence of the thesis. In many instances the candidate will already be employed in an institution of higher learning. A final requirement for the degree is that the research results be accepted for publication before the degree is awarded. This means that the results of the candidate’s intensive research into some aspect of the Middle Ages is made available to other scholars as quickly as possible. The beneficial aspects of the study of the Middle Ages is spelled out elsewhere in this application. ( see QAR2 p. 5, Summary of proposed program, ii)
