November 10th to 25th 1982

EPPCO

EPPCO, the Education
Policy and Planning Com-
E mittee, is a part of the
Governance system, which is
designed to give advice to
the college board.

The Governance system is
a part of the power flow of
the decision-making process
that flows from. Victoria to
the college. The Ministry of
Education (Bill Vander Zalm,
Minister) sets basic policies
and basic budgets, then the
local college must ‘‘fit in’’ to
| this system.

As a consequence of this,
the College President, Bill
Day, the chairman of EP-
‘PCO* wrote a letter to Vic-
toria (on the direction of the
College Management Com-
mittee) announcing. the col-
lege’s ‘‘intent’’ to offer an
“Entry Level Training Pro-
gram’”’ at Douglas by Sept.,
1984.

I think that sending the
letter before EPPCO finished
debate on this new program,
shows that the administra-
tion is not respecting the
opinions of EPPCO mem-

Comes

 

During the meeting set
aside to discuss the ‘Entry
Level Training Program’,
Day took notice of the view-
point and questions the com-
mittee, but had a fixed idea
of what he would do with
them.

EPPCO STRUCTURE

I am the only student of

the fourteen members of
EPPCO. EPPCO meets on
the second Wednesday of
each month.
. There have been two
meetings this Fall on Octo-
ber 13. and~ Oct. 27., The
second was an extension of
the first. The next formal
meeting of EPPCO is on Nov.
10, 1982 at 4:00 p.m. in the
College Board Room (Mc-
Bride Campus). I don’t know
if the meetings are open to
the general student body,
but they should be.

EPPCO’s main function is
to advise the College Board
on matters of educational
policy and planning, and has
released a statement of func-
tions and responsibilities on
March 17, 1982. This state-
ment is available in the

The Other Press

EPPCO Member Richard Moore Talks

collected documents on

EPPCO available from this

member to any registered

student.

I was chosen for the posi-
tion in EPPCO by acclama-
tion. There were other stu-
dent nominations. This is the
only elected student position
in the Governance system.

At the next EPPCO meet-
ing I will bring forward these
matters:

1. Special needs students;
lack of substitutes,

2. Courses to be offered in
Sept. which are not in
the schedule

3. Courses to be offered
as new courses:

ners

cal and Descrip tive

Studies program(s)

5. Taping and broadcasting
of EPPCO meetings
