MAD HATTER :

 

College Policy & Curriculum Jurisdiction

 

Bill Day referred to his response to the Academic Division's motion on curriculum
jurisdiction. The stance taken is that anything that acts as a limit on College policy
has to be a matter for the College Education Committte. A Division/Department Committee
cannot decide in their own favour. ;

Assignment of Credit

Bill Day advised that this was the last opportunity to provide advice/commentary on
the policy. After lengthy deliberation the following resolution was unanimously passed:

THAT a formula for the assignment of credit be constructed on, and presented with, an
educational rationale and that it proceed through the governance system for input and
advice to the Management Committee.

Major concerns raised, among others, were that the policy did not go through the
Governance structure and although it has been dealt with as an administrative policy,
it has major educational implications.

Quorum

Bill Day presented two alternatives to deal with the question of a quorum to ensure
that agenda items are dealt with in a timely manner. The following resolution was passed:

THAT members be instructed to appoint an alternate member from within the same
constituency, in the event they are unable to attend a regularly schedule meeting.
Responsibility for briefing the alternate member on the matters under discussion and
charging that member with any particular stance be the responsibility of the incumbent
member of the College Education Committee.

Locally Initiated Curriculum Development Grant

 

Bill Day advised that no‘ formal word has been received from Victoria. However, from
a telephone conversation with Victoria, it would appear that our proposal on Court and
Case Justice Simulation has been approved, at a reduced amount of $10,000.

Post-Expo Educational Opportunities

The College received approximately $50,000 from this initiative. Management Committee
recommended sharing the resources between the Academic, Applied Programs and Educational
and Student Services areas. All sections will be offered in January 1987. As a result
of not offering some Educational & Student Services sections at the end of October,
those funds were turned back to the “pot" which allowed additional sections for Academic
and Applied Programs. The Committee wished to commend this demonstration of co-operation
which is in the best interest of the College.

Review of Policies

E02.03.01 - Assignment of Credit - is currently being dealt with.

£02.03.02, 03, 04. It was pointed out that all three policies have the same Policy
Statement with different procedures/rules attached. Also, CP& Certificate of Attendance
has been omitted.
