items for information

13. professores emeriti/ae

the president reported that dr. k. dieter eigenbrod, dr. william heath, and dr. seimer tsang had been offered and had accepted the title of professor emeritus to be conferred in the may 2005 convocation.

14. president's report

the president reported that an appeal heard by a tribunal set up under the terms of the code of student behaviour and disciplinary procedures had resulted in a reduction of the sanction imposed on the appellant by a judicial officer.

at the cou's last meeting there had been discussion concerning the system of allocating funding for graduate programs. it was acknowledged that the present system was unfair to universities like lakehead whose graduate programs had grown. the system would nevertheless remain in place for at least another year.

it appears that the ontario government, due to its deficit, believes that a significant portion of the cash infusion into the universities recommended by the rae report will have to come from the federal government. the ontario government may be able to invest no more than 30% of the amount recommended by rae. 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 will delay its budget until the ontario government reveals its own.

recommendations from the cou concerning the application of the province's privacy legislation to universities have been largely accepted by the ontario government.

in the next month or two the province will legislate to remove mandatory retirement.

the city of orillia has put forward names of members of the community who wish to participate in the orillia campus implementation task force and its working groups. a web site will shortly be established.

the aucc is concerned about instability in the federal political scene. the current government does appear ready to support current policies - but is unlikely to undertake anything new. there is concern about the federal conservative party's proposal to do away with regional development bodies like fednor - whose disappearance would have a significant impact on lakehead.

15. report of the vice-president (academic) and provost

l. hayes thanked faculty for their resolute devotion to duty during the current awkwardness resulting from the strike.the ptr process was well advanced, and recommendations would soon be going forward to the aec. in the not too distant future there might be proposals on academic matters coming forward to senate from the orillia satellite campus implementation task force. over the next week there would be important student recruitment activities on campus.

16. report of nosm

r. strasser reported that the admissions process for the upcoming academic year was proceeding apace.first round offers would be completed by the end of may. faculty recruitment was also progressing. he had reviewed the draft survey report produced by those who had conducted the accreditation site visit in march and noted that, while it was generally positive, there were a few matters that needed to be focussed on. an intern program had been set up. in june a pilot project concerning the placement of 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 in aboriginal communities would start. construction of the medical school's building was progressing well. a bursary fund was being set up. he thanked everyone at lakehead who had contributed to the establishment of nosm.

17. report of the senate representatives on the board of governors

w. parker thanked p. merriman for providing his report on short notice. he commented on and thanked lakehead faculty, like s. kinrade, who were making the board aware of the exciting research going on at the university.he noted that the strike had had little impact on the board's operations. the alumni association had changed the venue of their annual dinner from the faculty lounge on campus to the prince arthur hotel - but the board was trying to convince the association to reconsider.

18. report of the cou colleague

the colleague was not present so no report was given.

items for information
15. president's report
the president noted that the aucc had indicated that the government should support funding in 5 areas - including indirect research costs. the federal government had expressed some interest in considering support for indirect research costs but had not made a commitment. to get a greater commitment from the government the universities should set funding priorities and promote innovative programs.
the ontario government was setting up through the mtcu an aboriginal advisory committee with 4 nominees from the cou.
16. report of the vice-president (academic) and provost
l. hayes thanked faculty for contributing to the recruiting of 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 for fall, 2006. academic planning was ongoing. the ptr committee members had been named or would be named shortly; hearings would start in december. lakehead had hosted nosm visitors from laurentian. she had attended meetings of both ontario and canadian vice-presidents (academic). the ontario vp's had discussed undergraduate degree levels, expectations, and distinctions as well as changes to grade 11 and 12 mathematics requirements. at the national level the various vps had brought forward their regional concerns, and there was discussion of teaching focussed tenure track positions and accreditation of programs. officials of queen's university had said that they would accept graduates from any aucc approved institution - which elicited some discussion since the aucc was not an accrediting agency.
17. marks report for fall/winter 2004/2005
k.l. clarke referred to the report posted on the senate web site. she noted that this was a summary of more detailed information that was sent to the deans.
18. report of nosm
dr. joel lanphear, associate dean of undergraduate medical education, spoke again on behalf of r. strasser and d. hunt who could not be present. in september members of the liaison committee on medical education had visited nosm for accreditation purposes and were so content with what they found that they indicated that they would forego their march, 2006 visit and not return until october, 2006 - a real vote of confidence in nosm. the school had received 2100 applications for the 56 student places in 2006-2007, a figure consistent with this year's, amounting to a strong endorsement of the nosm program. review of the applications would begin shortly. on october 1st nomp was officially subsumed under nosm. the same integration would take place with nomec in the east.
19. report of the senate representatives on the board of governors
m. mcpherson referred senators to the report posted to the senate web site, which highlighted the board's actions and discussions.
20. cou colleague's report of october meeting
b. muirhead highlighted the good news that was presented at the october cou meeting: the ontario government had undertaken to fund all unfunded biu's - although the details of implementation (e.g. when the funding would come forward) still had to be worked out. apparently too the government wants the universities to publicize their new generosity.
21. renewal of adjunct professor appointments

in addition, the committee brought forward for information the framework that it had established for academic planning over the next year and beyond until 2010.
items for information
10. president's report
the president noted that the fall enrolments have turned out to be higher than reported in the agora article. they were still below target, but were high enough not automatically to necessitate budget cuts. the university was, however, relying on the flow through of the double cohort to shore up its enrolments. when the double cohort 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 had graduated that deficiency would have to be made up - or budget cuts would become inevitable; hence the importance of establishing the orillia campus to provide an extra draw on the student pool of southern ontario.
the ontario government had not yet indicated their allocations to the provincial universities for the current budget year (which had started on may 1st), but it was hoped that this information would be forthcoming in the next week. the president hoped to discuss with the minister in the near future the university's funding concerns - especially unfunded 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and graduate student funding.
he said as well that, while the ontario government would be lifting the fee freeze in the next year, there would not be total deregulation: fee increases would be limited, probably, between the rate of inflation and 5%.
he reported that the senate academic appeal committee had conducted a hearing - and the appellant had won.
the president responded to questions by p. hollings, b. muirhead, and t. king related to funding.
11. report of the vice-president (academic) and provost
l. hayes thanked faculty for welcoming back 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and expressed her appreciation of their work in the classroom. she covered a wide range of topics including orillia, undergraduate program reviews, academic planning, nosm, the extension of the collaborative nursing program to 4 rural sites, the appointment of dr. gillian siddall as director of the centre for instructional development, an initiative by the senate committee on teaching and learning, the ptr timetable, upcoming 40th anniversary celebrations in the hangar, the ontario universities' fair, and her own representation of 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 at a major universities fair in minneapolis.
m. shaw reported on fall enrolments so far. k. fedderson noted that the new enrolment report produced by the office of institutional analysis was superior to that presented by the registrar because the former included the involvement of the faculties other than education in the concurrent program. m. shaw said that he would consult with the director of the office of institutional analysis on this subject.
12. report of nosm
dr. joel lanphear, associate dean of undergraduate medical education, spoke on behalf of r. strasser and d. hunt who could not be present. he expressed gratitude to the president, vice-president (academic), and vice-provost for assisting nosm in getting started, and to the university in general for its understanding and patience in view of the idiosyncrasies of medical school administrative organization. he talked about the highlights of nosm's first weeks as a fully functioning medical school, accreditation, and the composition of the student body (e.g. 66% female, 18% francophone, 11% aboriginal, and the average age: 27.6).
13. renewal of adjunct appointment
for information f. gilbert reported to senate the renewal of dr. jaro kotalik's appointment to the department of philosophy as adjunct professor.
14. appointments to the core faculty of the mph program
for information i. newhouse reported to senate the appointments of drs. j. mcauliffe, brian m. ross, and patricia m. smith as core faculty in the mph program.
15. student satisfaction survey of courses
k.l. clarke could not be present, but her report was posted to the web.

there was no business arising from the minutes.

items for decision

5. late additions to the fall 2004 graduands list

due to errors in assessment, the names of 4 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 had not appeared on the list of graduands presented to senate on november 26th, 2004.

moved (m. shaw/f. dawood) that senate approve for graduation as of november 26th, 2004 tracy l. annett with a bachelor of arts with a major in political science; velma j. campbell with a native language instructors' diploma with a specialization in native second languages; shawn w. cosby with a bachelor of arts in the general program; and outi i. skaf with an honours bachelor of arts with a major in psychology and first class standing, and a minor in women's studies. carried.

6. proposed 2005/2006 calendar changes for referral to committee

it was noted initially that no proposals had come forward to senate from the department of english. accordingly the reference to english was deleted from this item.

moved (k. fedderson/m. richardson) that the proposals by the faculty of social sciences and humanities for calendar changes in economics, history, indigenous learning, and psychology be referred to senate committees. carried. the proposals would all be referred to the senate budget committee and, as appropriate, to the senate undergraduate studies committee and senate graduate studies committee.

moved (r. dilley/r. pulkki) that the proposals by the faculty of science and environmental studies for calendar changes in biology, geography, and general science be referred to senate committees. carried. the proposals would all be referred to the senate budget committee and the senate undergraduate studies committee.

moved (i. newhouse/r. delaney) that the proposal by the faculty of professional schools for calendar changes in social work be referred to senate committees. carried. the proposal would be referred to the senate budget committee and the senate undergraduate studies committee.

moved (d. smith/g. phillips) that the proposals by the faculty of business administration for calendar changes be referred to senate committees. carried. the proposals would all be referred to the senate budget committee and, as appropriate, to the senate undergraduate studies committee and senate graduate studies committee.

7. reports of the senate standing committees on proposed calendar changes to graduate programs

moved (k. brown/d. steven) that the calendar change proposals in economics, history, languages, political science, and psychology, and the articulation agreement between 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 (school of outdoor recreation, parks and tourism) and confederation college (recreation & leisure services diploma), as presented in the reports of the senate undergraduate studies committee and the senate budget committee, be approved.carried. the senate undergraduate studies committee had deferred recommendation for approval of the changes proposed for visual arts, but the senate budget committee had decided to recommend them. the senate budget committee had decided, because there were serious budget implications, not to recommend at this point the proposal for a general science course in the faculty of education; instead, the committee had referred the matter to the vice-president (academic).

the senate undergraduate studies committee made no motion concerning the proposed additions to the 2005-2006 academic schedule for undergraduate studies in education, but recommended acceptance of the dates proposed by the faculty of education except the start date of wednesday, september 7, 2005. the committee thought that the faculty of education should be bound to adhere to the start date set for the rest of the university, namely, thursday, september 8, for two main reasons: (a) the september 8th start date had been previously approved in senate only after serious contention; the faculty of education should not be exempted from a requirement that other units had had to accept against their will; and (b) it would be possible for the faculty of education, by moderately adjusting their schedule, to start on september 8th without undue hardship.

p. allingham noted that, even with a start date on september 7th, the faculty would still have to make up a day of study, probably on a saturday. r. dilley objected that the faculty's contract with the university prohibited compulsory instruction on saturdays. f. allaire asked who had established the rule that education 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 must have 45 instructional days. p. allingham replied that the rule had been set by the mtcu and the oct. r. delaney argued that changing the start date for one faculty would open it up for change by other faculties as well.l. hayes noted that the early start date was required only for education 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 in their professional year, and p. allingham responded that that would involve nearly 700 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 . in the end no decision was reached on the issue.

8. reports of the senate standing committees on proposed calendar changes to graduate programs

moved (g. boire/d. steven) that the proposals concerning graduate studies in economics, english, and psychology, as well as the new ph.d. in forest sciences, be approved. carried.

9. report of the senate budget committee

d. steven noted that the members of the committee were having much difficulty in finding mutually acceptable meeting times.

10. proposed schedule of senate meetings for 2005/2006 and revision to the date set for the may 2005 senate meeting

moved (m. shaw/p. hollings) that senate approve the schedule of senate meetings for 2005/2006 proposed by the secretary of senate and change the date of the may 2005 meeting from 2:30 p.m. on friday, may 13th to 2:30 p.m. on thursday, may 12th. carried. m. shaw explained that the change was necessitated by the requirement to submit the final draft of the convocation program to the print shop no later than the morning of saturday, may 14th. corrections ensuing from the senate meeting and final editing of the program would realistically require one working day to complete.

11. approval of adjunct professors

moved (f. gilbert/r. pulkki) that the appointment of adjunct professors recommended by the faculties of forestry and the forest environment and science and environmental studies be approved. carried.

12. establishment of senate representation on the orillia satellite campus implementation task force

president gilbert indicated that he wanted to have the task force, which would include 3 senators, in place ideally by the middle of february and, in any event, no later than the end of february.to that end the secretary of senate would be canvassing senators for nominations and running a ballot.

12a. report of the senate committee on honorary degrees

p. hollings reported that 2 candidates had accepted offers of honorary degrees from lakehead university. dr. phil fontaine would receive the degree of doctor of laws in the morning and dr. maude barlow would receive the degree of doctor of humane letters in the afternoon of convocation.

items for information

13. president's report

the president encouraged members of the lakehead community to get involved in the celebrations of the university's 40th anniversary.

the rae review would be ready for publication and release in the middle of february. it would be of vital importance to raise the recommendations of the review high enough in the ontario government's priorities. to that end, and in the sober realization that university education was not a burning issue with a substantial portion of the ontario public, the cou would be undertaking a program of extensive advocacy of the review's recommendations.

the cou would be meeting at lakehead university in the next week - for the second time in the council's history.

lakehead's administration was preparing academic and business plans for the establishment of a satellite campus in orillia. mtcu had so far shown neither overt support for nor opposition to this initiative. a government official had said that offering lakehead university courses in orillia did not require the approval of the ministry.

when the president had completed his report s. campbell asked when the cou would be meeting on campus. he replied that it would be next friday.

14. report of the vice-president (academic) and provost

d. steven noted that this would be her last appearance as chair of the senate budget committee. she reported that the committee had met on may 17th and reviewed calendar changes at the undergraduate level concerning women's studies, business, and languages, and at the graduate level concerning english, the graduate diploma, the mph program, and education.

discussion then focussed on the proposed operating budget for 2005-2006 and, in particular, on the university's utilities expenses, allocations to the print shop, and the impact of the provincial budget. on the last topic president gilbert noted that the university might be eligible for up to $2,500,000 of new resources from the government, but cautioned that the full impact of the government's budget would not be known until late summer or early fall.in any event, the expectation was that the university would be able to eliminate its accumulated debt in the next year.

9. president's report

the president thanked all who had attended convocation and said that it had gone well. he spoke about the ontario government's upcoming budget as it would affect universities, and noted some of its ambiguities. he reported that the government had not yet presented a bill concerning the abolition of mandatory retirement as the issue was turning out to be more complex than initially imagined. he also talked about the threat that the private member's bill 123, which would require all deliberative and decision-making meetings of universities' legislative bodies, including boards of governors, senates, and their committees, to be open to the public, posed to their effective operation; if the bill passed it would inevitably either drive underground or stop completely much business normally handled by these bodies. he said that the planning phase for a new research building had started; a consulting firm had been engaged, but no development would take place unless adequate finances were in place. consultation on the new building with the university community would soon begin.

10. report of the vice-president (academic) and provost

l. hayes reported that the committee on teaching and learning, on the basis of nominations submitted by 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , had recommended that 3 awards for faculty contributions to teaching be given to dr. a. tayebi, dr. s. islam, and dr. r. farrell. she spoke about the senate academic committee's ongoing deliberations with respect to the academic plan, undergraduate program review guidelines, and the appeal process through the senate academic appeal committee.the academic council of the northern ontario medical school had had its first official meeting. she summarized the topics covered at the meeting of the vice-presidents (academic) of ontario at the university of western ontario. she then called upon the vice-provost (student affairs), dr. jane birkholz, to provide an enrolment update. dr. birkholz noted that, while the total number of applications was down this year, it was on a par with the number of enrolments during the pre-double cohort era.

11. report of the dean of nosm

no nosm representative was present to give a report.

12. cou colleague's report

b. muirhead summarized the topics covered at the last cou meeting - including especially the apparent decline in mathematical skills among 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 entering university. there was some discussion among senators about this issue.

items for information

16. president's report

the president reported that the budget tabled by the government of ontario included a substantial commitment to postsecondary education - a commitment that, however, due to the government's fiscal difficulties, would be stretched out over a 5 year period, which was longer than recommended by the rae report. over the 5 years an accountability plan would be linked in with the government's funding of the universities. some currently targeted funding would be phased out - freeing up extra revenue. capital funding would be restricted to graduate and medical schools. future tuition increases would be covered by increases in student assistance. a new program of student assistance was being set in place to which smaller institutions like lakehead would have easier access, but the terms were still not clear.overall, the government's proposed spending would have its greatest impact on lakehead in 2007-2008 when a new formula for student funding, whereby all 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 in the system, including those currently constituting unfunded bius, would be funded, would take effect.. for the current fiscal year it would appear that some $282,000,000, of which a significant portion would be tied to specific expenses, would be committed to the universities. tuition fees would be frozen for another year; it was expected that foregone increases would be offset by part of the $282,000,000 allotment.

the president also reported on a meeting of the orillia campus implementation task force, which included participation by representatives of the city of orillia.

in response to a question from t. dunk the president said that if the strike were to continue over convocation, the honorary degree recipients, phil fontaine and maude barlow, would not attend.barlow had indicated, however, that she would be prepared to visit the campus on a later occasion. if they were not present on may 28th fontaine and barlow would receive their degrees in absentia.

17. report of the vice-president (academic) and provost

l. hayes welcomed dr. lesley lovett-doust as the new dean of science and environmental studies and thanked s. kinrade and p. fralick for standing in after the retirement of a. macdonald. an announcement concerning the new instructional development centre would be forthcoming. she thanked all involved in the faculty hiring process. she referred to some of lakehead's initiatives extending beyond thunder bay, for example in connection with finland, the university of the arctic, and china - as well as orillia. according to f. gilbert an orillia campus web site would be established in the next week.

18. report of the secretary of senate on the election of faculty members to senate and senate representatives to the board of governors

m. shaw reported that anthony bartley, joey farrell, and kam yu had been elected to senate as faculty members at large from july 1, 2005 to june 30, 2008, and that ken brown had been elected as a senate representative on the board of governors for the same period.

19. report of the dean of nosm

d. hunt spoke about nosm's curriculum consultations with northern communities in general and aboriginal communities in particular. he emphasized the importance placed by nosm on the integration of 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and graduates with aboriginal communities. in a pilot project a number of these communities would each have 2 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 placed with them for 4 weeks. the 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 would spend some time in nursing stations but would also be expected to have wider exposure to the communities.

20. report of the senate representatives on the board of governors

w. parker reported that, while there had been no meeting of the whole board since the last senate meeting, the executive committee had met on may 5th. he noted that the committee had authorized fee increases for student residences and dining, and an exponential increase for parking fees necessitated by the increased costs of expanding and maintaining the campus's parking lots.
