89. MINUTES
The Minutes of the meeting held on April 14, 1998, were taken as read and confirmed.
90. REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ON SENATE
It was agreed by separate motion where necessary, that the report of the Executive Committee be
approved as follows:
90.1 Final Report of the Senate ad hoc Committee on Procedures Concerning the Removal of
Academic Administrators
At a meeting held on November 18, 1997, Senate was advised that in a minute of November 6, the Board of Regents had requested "The President, after consultation within and without the University community, to recommend formal procedures for dismissal or other disciplinary measures with respect to academic administrators, including Vice-Presidents, Deans, and Directors". At that meeting, Senate was advised of the action the President would be taking in regard to the consultative process.
Since the Board had already in this initiative provided for the prospect of a consultative
Committee, Senate agreed to appoint an ad hoc Committee to made recommendations concerning
the Removal of Academic Administrators.
It was agreed to consider the final report of the Committee which was tabled at the April 14, 1998
meeting of Senate in order to allow sufficient time for a full discussion.
It was moved by Dr. Adamec, seconded by Dr. Ghazala and carried that the Report be received
with gratitude.
It was moved by Dr. Adamec, seconded by Dr. Ghazala that Senate accept and so inform the
Board of Regents, the procedures outlined in the report with respect to evaluation and review of
Academic Administrators with one exception, that the mid-term reviews be conducted in all
terms, i.e. that the dissenting report be accepted as well.
Following considerable discussion, it was suggested by Dr. Kealey that the above motion be
amended to accept the recommendations of the majority report.
Since Dr. Adamec and Dr. Ghazala accepted this suggestion as a friendly amendment, a vote was
taken on the main motion as amended and it was carried by a majority vote that Senate accept,
and so inform the Board of Regents, the procedures outlined in the report with regard to
evaluation and review of Academic Administrators.
90.2. Report of the Senate ad hoc Committee on Outstanding Issues with Regard to the Proposed
Computer Engineering Programme
At a meeting held on February 10, 1998 Senate considered a proposal from the Faculty of
Engineering and Applied Science for a new Computer Engineering Programme to replace the
existing Computer and Communication option currently offered in the Electrical Engineering
Programme. The proposal was submitted to Senate by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate
Studies which expressed its concern with regard to issues raised by the Department of Computer
Science as stated in a letter dated January 9, from the Head of the Department. At the February
10 meeting of Senate a motion to approve the proposal was tabled until Senate determined
whether the issues raised by the Department of Computer Science should be addressed prior to or
on an on-going basis, following the approval and implementation of the proposed programme. It
was then agreed that the issues with respect to the proposed Computer Engineering Programme
be resolved before it is considered for approval by Senate and that an ad hoc Committee be
appointed for the purpose of resolving these issues as expeditiously as possible in order that the
Computer Engineering Programme might be considered no later than the May, 1998 meeting of
Senate for offering in the 1998/99 academic year.
The final report of the ad hoc Committee on Outstanding Issues with Regard to the Proposed
Computer Engineering Programme has now been received, together with a Minority Report. Mr.
George Beckett, Chair of the ad hoc Committee on Outstanding Issues with Regard to the
Proposed Computer Engineering Programme, and several other Committee members were in
attendance, at the invitation of Senate, to present the Report.
Following Mr. Beckett's introduction, it was moved by Dr. Tulett, seconded by Dr. Adamec and
carried that the Report of the ad hoc Committee be received with thanks.
Senate then proceeded to discuss each of the following recommendations of the ad hoc
Committee:
"1. A proposed Computer Engineering programme should go ahead as proposed by the Faculty
of Engineering and Applied Science. The committee is satisfied that the Faculty of Engineering
and Applied Science can implement the Computer Engineering programme with or without the
active cooperation of the Department of Computer Science.
2. The Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science and the Department of Computer Science
should investigate cross-listing of courses identified as being common to both programmes. If
agreement cannot be reached about cross-listing then the originating academic unit has the option
to go ahead with the course provided that it has the resources to adequately support the course.
3. A joint committee should be formed to coordinate computer related instruction throughout
the university curriculum. Computer education is not only an issue for Computer Science and the
Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science. Representation on the committee should include
Business, Continuing Education, Science (other than Computer Science), Arts, Engineering and
Computer Science. It is essential that the university take a coordinated approach to curriculum
development in support of information technology needs. The moribund Computer
Science/Engineering Joint Committee on Academic Issues should be subsumed into this
committee.
4. Senate should make explicit the principle that academic units have the right to create
interdisciplinary programmes provided that they do not unduly duplicate the programmes of
other academic units. Some course overlap is to be expected with interdisciplinary programmes.
Such overlap is acceptable provided that the overall programmes are not unduly duplicated.
5. It is suggested that the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science and the Department of
Computer Science should use the letter dated April 20, 1998 from Dr. J. Quaicoe, Chair,
Discipline of Electrical Engineering as a starting point for discussions about cross-listing of
courses. This letter recognizes the potential for significantly more cross-listing of courses than
was identified in the original Computer Engineering proposal.
6. It is suggested that the Department of Computer Science should review its mechanisms for
internal communication and consensus development. Assistance in this review may be needed
from the Dean of Science and/or other university resources.
7. It is suggested that the Department of Computer Science should seek external assistance in developing a strategic plan for its programmes in the near to mid-term future. A clearer definition of the nature of the Computer Science programme, its objectives and place in the overall university curriculum would assist in resolving the serious concerns which are so evident amongst members of the department. The committee is convinced that Computer Science has equal (or potentially greater) opportunities than other units to benefit from the demand for information technology related education."
It was moved by Dr. Sabin and seconded by Dr. Davidson to accept Recommendation 1. of the
Report.
Following considerable discussion, it was moved by Dr. Clark, seconded by Dr. Shorrocks and
carried that the previous motion be tabled.
It was moved by Dr. Vidyasankar, seconded by Mr. Corbett and carried that the author of the
minority report be given the opportunity to speak.
Dr. Middleton spoke to Senate regarding the concerns which he had raised in the Minority
Report.
It was moved by Professor Fowler and seconded by Acting Dean Davidson to accept
recommendations 2. and 5. of the Report.
Following a motion by Dr. Vidyasankar which was seconded by Mr. Corbett and carried, Dr.
Ashoke Deb, Department of Computer Science, was permitted to address Senate regarding his
concerns.
Following a lengthy discussion, it was moved by Dr. Adamec, seconded by Dr. McKay and
carried that recommendation 5. be amended to also include the Minority Report by Dr. Middleton
as a starting point for discussions about cross-listing of courses.
The motion to accept recommendation 2. and recommendation 5, as amended, was then carried.
At this point, the Chairman left the meeting because of another commitment and Dr. Keough
assumed the Chair.
It was moved by Dr. Volk, seconded by Dean Murphy and carried that the following action be
taken with regard to Recommendations 3, 4, 6 and 7:
Recommendation 3. - Refer to the Vice-President (Academic) requesting that he report back to
Senate with respect to the actions taken.
Recommendation 4. - Refer to the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies for any further
action which it deems necessary.
Recommendation 6. - Refer to the Acting Dean of Science.
Recommendation 7. - Refer to the Acting Dean of Science.
It was then moved by Dr. Venkatesan, seconded by Dr. Adamec and carried that Dr. Gillard,
Head, Department of Computer Science, be given the opportunity to speak to Senate.
Dr. Gillard indicated his agreement with the action taken on the above recommendations.
It was moved by Dr. Treslan, seconded by Dr. Seshadri and carried, that the motion to accept
Recommendation 1. and to approve the programme in Computer Engineering as proposed be
lifted from the table.
It was then moved by Dr. Evans and seconded by Dr. Adamec that the proposed programme be
modified in accordance with Recommendations 2. and 5. in an attempt to reduce course overlap.
It was suggested that the effect of this proposed amendment would be to change the programme
and courses without reference to the Faculty Councils of Science and Engineering and Applied
Science as required by the University Act. A discussion ensued regarding whether the amendment
was hostile to the original motion which had been proposed to accept Recommendation 1.
Dr. Bear then moved to challenge the Chair's ruling and to entertain Evans/Adamec amendment.
This motion was seconded by Dr. Adamec. The Chair then clarified that a ruling had not been
made, rather Senate was engaged in a discussion as to whether the amendment was in order, and
as a result the Bear/Adamec motion was not necessary.
On a call for the question, a vote was taken on the amendment which failed.
A vote was then taken on the motion of Sabin/Davidson to accept Recommendation 1.of the
Report. The motion carried.

90.4 STUDENT APPEAL TO SENATE
MUN NO. 7663263 - Appeal for Readmission
Mrs. M. O'Dea, Deputy Registrar, was in attendance, by invitation, to present this student case
since Mr. Collins had indicated that his previous involvement with this student could place him in
a perceived conflict of interest position.
At a meeting held on April 30, 1998, the Executive Committee of Senate considered an appeal
from the above-noted student, submitted on his behalf by his lawyer, Mr. Brian Casey.
In a memorandum dated 1 May 1998, the Executive Committee agreed to recommend to Senate
that an ad hoc Committee of Senate be struck to consider this case and to report back to Senate
with recommendations regarding the disposition of the students's appeal for re-admission. The
Executive Committee asked the Committee on Committees to make recommendations at this
meeting for membership and Terms of Reference for the ad hoc Committee if Senate is in
agreement with this recommendation.
It was moved by Mrs. O'Dea, seconded by Dean Kealey and carried that the recommendation to
appoint an ad hoc Committee to review the appeal of MUN No. 7663262 be accepted.
A memorandum dated May 3, 1998 was received from the Committee on Committees submitting
proposed terms of reference and membership for the ad hoc Committee as follows:
1. To examine all documents presented to the Senate with regard to this case
To interview Mr. Brian Casey, Dr. M.C. Nurse and any other parties it deems necessary.
3. To conduct further investigations as the committee deems necessary.
To make recommendations to Senate in a timely fashion with regard to the appellant's
application for readmission to the University.
If a recommendation is made that the appellant be readmitted to the University and that
recommendation is accepted by Senate, but the appellant is subsequently denied re-admission to the Faculty of Education by that Faculty, the ad hoc Committee is to be re-convened to consider and make recommendations to Senate with regard to the disposi

regional and global importance of cultural tourism. The B.A. with Certificate in Heritage
Resources will also be an advantage to students wishing to study heritage or cultural resources
management at the graduate level.
The certificate programme in Heritage Resources draws on the expertise of the Archaeology Unit,
the Centre for Material Culture Studies, and individual faculty members in various departments
and faculties.

3(e) of the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies adding the phrase "both undergraduate
and graduate" between the words "programmes" and "may" on line 3. This is designed to
ensure that the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies considers the resource implication
of proposed new undergraduate programmes on existing programmes both at the undergraduate
and graduate levels.
2. Ask the Academic Council of the School of Graduate Studies to consider the adoption of a by-law to parallel the modified term of reference 3(e) of the Senate Committee on Undergraduate
Studies referred to in (1) above. This is designed to ensure that the Academic Council of the
School of Graduate Studies considers the resource implications of proposed new graduate
programmes on existing programmes both at the graduate and undergraduate levels.
3. Ask the Committee on Committees to recommend to Senate an addition to the terms of
reference of the Executive Committee of Senate as an extra safeguard to ensure that the resource
implications of all proposed new programmes on existing undergraduate and graduate
programmes are properly considered before such proposals are forwarded to Senate for
approval.
It was agreed that the Committee on Committees and the Academic Council of Graduate Studies
be asked to take the necessary action with regard to these recommendations.
